In 1971, Harold and Beryl’s first
second son Robert is born. Howard and Marilee settle in to Rancho
Cordova in 1970 and buy a home after leasing for a couple years. Marie’s
mother Lulu dies in 1971. She was a matriarch of the family and tutor to
grandchildren when needed.
Walter and Marie later decide they should settle near the children and
Howard is the only one with long roots at that point so they move to
Rancho Cordova east of Sacramento about 2 miles from Howard and
Marilee’s family. But by then the family is smaller in that the four
older children have moved to Idaho, and then Montana, to live with their
mother Phyllis and her new husband.
Harold and Beryl move from Salt Lake City, when residency is over, to
Corona where a private radiology practice is available with two other
doctors. From that point on, Howard and Harold have put down roots into
the new millennium. Third son James is born in 1975.
Janet and Jerry have followed the calling of the ministry to Angels
Camp, California and to Seattle and Oregon and Anacortes, Washington. By
the end of the decade they have settled in Rancho Cordova also. Walter
loses sister Emma in 1971 and his beloved Stella “second mother to all
the children” who never married and, like others in the family, devoted
their lives unselfishly to helping others.
Now Howard’s older children are coming of age. Debbie marries her high
school sweetheart Cliff, in 1975 on a picturesque wagon train wedding in
the foothills of Montana, and starts the family that grows to three
boys. Rhian is first in 1977. Marie’s sister Ruth loses her husband to
cancer that year.
