Wanda Ruth Sadler Dahl ~~~ This Amazing Lady Has Passed Away

 Wanda has been a good friend for many many years.  We first served on the Stake Relief Society Board but also she has helped me out in learning the "Past Perfect" museum data system.  She was a member of the Black Hawk Daughters of Pioneers with me.  This group has members from both Mt. Pleasant and also Fairview.  Wanda would drive all the ladies to Mt. Pleasant who are from Fairview.  I was told that she insisted to take her turn hosting the last month's meeting even though she did not feel well. Her daughters have been helping her recently as she has not felt well.

She never knew her father.  He abandoned them.  Her mother told her that she could meet him when she turned 16.  They found out he had died before she could meet him. He died at the age of 50 of liver disease.  He was an alcoholic.

Her mother later married Hans Christensen of Central, Utah.  

She married Oscar Bjelke

She and her mother move a lot between Mt. Pleasant, Elsinore, Central, and Salt Lake City.

My mother graduated from Wasatch Academy.  She was very good at math and also had a beautiful voice.

She married Neldon Rigby on May 18, 1933, in Salt Lake City.

They are the parents of 4 children, Charles Neldon, Richard, Kathrene, and Gregory.

My mother had many many friends.  She belonged to two bridge clubs.

She entertained family and friends and was known for her homemade cream puffs

Sanders Family

 It was somewhat surprising for me to find out that I had Allred Ancestors.  I knew all about the Sanders line but was delighted to find out that Moses Martin Sander's mother was Mary Allred.  As I research more, I find many interesting stories. One that comes to mind that isn't in the following history is that everywhere the Allred clan went or settled Moses and his family

were always included.
