Corner of 3rd West and Center St., Logan, UT

Corner of 3rd West and Center St., Logan, UT
Henry and Catherine WORLEY home

"The whistle signalled that we had arrived at Logan.
Looking very earnestly for someone of our people, I espied a fellow with a broad brimmed hat, a pair of big boots with the trouser legs inside the tops of his boots, running down First South St. as hard as he could for the depot I recognized him to be my brother Alfred [Willmore]. Well, he was a strange looking fellow dressed that way in contrast to his Birmingham dress, but I was glad to meet him and have the greeting of welcome. Aunt [Catherine] Worley was there and Uncle [Henry Worley] with their team of mules and wagon to haul us home to the Worley's home, corner of 3rd West and Center St. During my greeting with brother Alfred, Father [George Edward Willmore] and his sister, Aunt Worley were hugging each other with such joy at meeting in Zion that they nearly got jammed..........Those that were the youngest rode up to Worleys. Alfred and I, with cousin Harry and Tom Worley, . . .walked up to see as we traveled and chatted together. .......After arriving at Worleys, Uncle Henry, Aunt Catherine [Willmore Worley], cousins Sarah Worley Jones and Catherine Worley Cowley had prepared a fine dinner for us, among which was some new kind of pie that looked like custard......Cousin Kate asked me how I liked it ......they told me it was a
squash pie,.....I thought what a funny country to make pies like that out of such things." (from Benjamin Willmore’s,“Fifty Years Among the Mormons”)


Henry WORLEY and Catherine WILLMORE WORLEY - two of Catherine's brothers and many nephews and nieces immigrated from Birmingham to Utah.

l948 Smith girls (Myrle 15years old)


My family used this picture of me to enter me in the Miss 15 year old Lux Soap Beauty Contest of the West. I won in my region (south SLC, Ut) To win the title, people then had to buy Lux soap, sent the paper wrapper to Lux Soap and vote for their favorite. A girl from Laramie, Wyoming won. I guess the whole town bought a truck load of Lux soap. All was not lost, however as it launched my TV model career that lasted until I left for BYU at the ripe old age of 17. I did advertisements and modeled for KDYL/KSL TV back when TV first came out and the picture was about as big as a postage stamp. I had some funny experiences there. It surely seemd like it lasted more than 2 years.

Sister Camilla's wedding


I finally got the picture out of the background, but now I need to reinsert it with the title by it. I need help. We had a lovely time last week-end. Jeff and Terry came up for Erin's first trip to the temple. It was wonderful to have all my boys and their lovely wives with us as well as Adam. I feel so blessed. Adam and Amy are getting excited about the upcoming wedding. I'm happy about it all as well. We love Amy, she will be a 'fun' addition to our family.

Stella Jane Madsen was blessed 3/29/2009


Stella Jane Madsen was blessed today. She had quite the group of priesthood holders surrounding her. A beautiful blessing was given to her by her father. What a tremendous support system she has. A lovely luncheon was given by the Madsen's in their beautiful home in 'The Cliffs' following the church meeting. She is so beautiful and is so blessed to have Scott and Rachel for parents. What a sweet little girl.
