Show John K brought the girls' grandmother, Ann Maria, and her husband John R. dinger from Freedom (also Ann Draper grandmother's invalid mother) to live at the house and care for the girls who were in school, while'John K and Virginia would be away on their wedding trip. On 28 December 1914, they were married in the Davis County courthouse in Farmington, Utah, and left at once on a train for California. There they attended the World's Fair in San Diego. From a daily diary kept by Virginia at the time we learn that dinners in the Coronado Hotel on Coronado Island cost one dollar, and were very special. After seeing the main points of interest in southern California, and falling in love with Long Beach and Pasadena, they made their way home through northern California via Sacramento and Shafter, and Ely, Nevada. They visited in Preston (near Ely) with Virginia and Katie's sister, Lulu, and brother Hyrum, and their families before returning to Utah. They were away from home five weeks to the day and had "one wonderful trip." Home folks and friends were happy to see them and wish them success in married life. Soon the girls dispensed with the title of "Auntie" and began to call Virginia "Mother", and at that time "Papa" became "Daddy". In referring to their own mother, they always called her "Mama". 117 |
