Great-Great Grandma Mower

In August we had the opportunity to drive to Fairview, UT so Compton could meet his great-great grandma. We wanted to make sure we got 5-generation photos! It is my maternal grandfather's mother. If that makes sense. :)
Her name is Maurine Christine Kiesel Mower. She was born on Dec. 22, 1913, which makes her 95 almost 96! She had 11 children and raised 9 to adulthood. She married my great grandfather, Fred Webster Mower, on April 26, 1934. I was told they eloped and didn't even tell her parents! Just went and got married one day. :) When she was younger, her hobbies were keeping her house clean, and raising her children. She took pride in being a wife and mother. She has been a true blessing to the Mower family!


Just a photo of our little family.

Five Generations.

5 generations, that's really amazing! Not many people can boast that. Love the second to the bottom family picture the most. Beautiful family. Wish you moved back to Sheridan.
