Hannah Hurst Howell Bohne is Margie/Mom's Grandmother (Zada's mother)
Hannah's husband Sylvanus passed away in 1939. The children had grown and married and Hannah was alone attempting to keep up the house and the bees, and working for the school. That's when Arthur Bohne came on the scene. Here's a little excerpt from Hannah's condensed history ...
In December 1952, Arthur Bohne came to see me. His wife had died almost two years before. He had been a construction worker, and the last few years he had been a farmer. He had three sons, but they were grown and on their own. After he made a few trips to see me, we decided that we both needed each other. We were married December 30, 1952, in Salt Lake City. My children gave us a wedding supper in Berthell’s new home. A week later we moved to Las Vegas where we spent two years. Arthur had a good job working for Reynolds construction Company. Reynolds were working for the Atomic Energy Commission and the wages were very attractive. We lived in a trailer in the Atomic Energy Trailer Court. This was indeed a new experience for me. I believe this was the first time in my life I had ever had leisure time. It took me a little while to adjust to my new condition. Arthur would leave at 7:30 in the morning, and I would be alone all day. I did a lot of reading and writing. We lived there for two years.
