From Pat Holling, Oct 2003: From "Genealogical Research in England and Wales" Vol 1 pp 40-42 by David E Gardner & Frank Smith, Bookcraft Publishers, SLC Utah, 1956: "This is taken from the case relating to the family of Thomas L. Obray. He was bn in 1821 in Pembroke, Wales, and went to America in 1855 where he died in 1899. Among his records he left was the name of his sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Watkins, wife of Alfred Watkins. She was bn in 1820 in Pembroke, but after her marriage she went to reside in Liverpool, England, more than 250 miles away from her birthplace. He death was stated to have taken place in 1891 in the vicinity of Liverpool. Application to the Registrar General, Somerset House, London, traced the death as follows:
Registration District West Derby
Death in the subdistrict of Walton, Counties Bootle and Lancaster
Died 7 March 1892 at 66 Winslow Street, Walton
Elizabeth Watkins aged 74 years, wife of Alfred Watkins, a journeyman joiner.
Informant A. Watkins, same address.
“Then the 1891 census was requested from the Registrar General, and the information recieved as follows:
Head - William A. Watkins, married, age 41, Joiner, born Liverpool.
Mother - Elizabeth Watkins, married, age 73, born Pembroke Dock.
Sister - Eleanor Herschman, married, age 35, born Liverpool.
Niece - Lizzie Herschman, age 1, born Liverpool.
“If a family grave and tombstone existed, in which of the many cemeteries belonging to Liverpool would the record be?
A letter was written to the town clerk, Municipal Building, Liverpool, stating that Mrs. Elizabeth Watkins died at Winslow Street, Walton, West Derby (a suburb of Liverpool) and explaining that she was the sister of Thomas L. Obray and closely related to the family making the enquiry. A reply was received from the town clerk. He pointed out that the records of several cemeteries in the north-end of the city had been searched and that the records of the Kirkdale Cemetery, Longmoor Lane, Liverpool, had disclosed a list of interments in Grave No. 136, Section 1 of the Church of England Division as follows:
Date of Interment Name of Deceased Age
10 March 1892 Elizabeth Watkins 74 years
27 March 1894 Ellen Hurschman 12 months
7 March 1924 Wm. Alfred Johnson 27 years
(307 Hawthorn Rd. Bootle)
25 Nov. 1924 Wm. Alfred Watkins 75 years
12 Feb. 1929 Elizabeth Watkins 71 years
“Information was also given that the grave had been purchased by William Alfred Watkins of 66 Winslow Street and later transferred to Mary Ellen Hurschman.
“A request was then made to the same office, asking whether arrangements could be made to employ some person connected with the Cemeteries Department to inspect the grave lot No. 136, Section 1 of Kirkdale Cemetery, to find whether a tombstone still existed. This resulted in the cemetery superintendent’s having an examination of the grave made and reporting that a headstone had the following inscription:
In Loving Remembrance of Elizabeth Watkins who died on March 6, 1892 aged 77 years
John son of above who died on Nov. 12 1882 aged 40 years
Ellen Hurschman, granddaughter of the above who died March 24, 1894 aged 12 months
William Alfred Johnson (Private Royal Welsh Fusiliers) grandson of above,Who died Mar. 3 1924
from wounds received in France November 1917, aged 27 years.
William Alfred Watkins, son of above, who died Nov. 21, 1924 aged 75 years.
Elizabeth Watkins, daughter of above who died Feb. 7, 1929 aged 71 years.
“Note that information is recorded on the tombstone about a person who was not buried in the grave, namely John, a son who died in 1882. Note also that the record of this family is brought down to as late as 1929. Additional records of death were obtained from the Registrar General that identified those mentioned on the tombstone. An advertisement was placed in the newspaper circulating in Walton, Liverpool; this resulted in contacting close relatives of those mentioned, and these relatives were able to supply many details of the family group record and descent of this branch of the family. “

OBITUARY: Obituary of Samuel William Obray as it appeared in the Journal on June11th. , 1910. GOOD PARADISE MAN PASSES TO REWARD Paradise June 8 - It becomes our duty once more to recordthe demise of one of our esteemed citizens, Samuel W.Obray, who passed peacefully June 5, 1910. Old age and heart troublewere the cause that brought on death.
Samuel W. Obray was in his 82nd year. He was born at South Wales 18 June 1828. He came to this country in 1848 and worked on a steamboat as a ships carpenter. His work took him from St. Louis to New Orleans and back on the Mississippi River. He came to Utah in 1854 and was a resident of TooeleCounty. He was an early settler of Wellsville and has been a resident of Paradise about forty-six years. While in his native country in his early manhood he joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Later-day Saints. He has kept the faith and died in full fellowship, holding the office of High Priest at the time ofhis death.  During the early settlement of Cache Valley Mr. Obray took an active part in defending the inhabitants from the depredations of Indians and other enemies. He was fearless and had agreat influence with the red men. At one time before Old Paradise was settled and while the Indians were quite hostile, he went up to the south of where Paradise is now and got in to their camp and induced the Indians to come to Wellsville and have a feast and make peace, which they did. He passed through the trials and difficulties incident to pioneer life patiently and unflinchingly. He was impulsive, but kind hearted and generous to a fault. Such men as he were needed at that time. He wasmarried three times and his last wife survives him. His descendant’s number about 176 was follows: 10 children, 87grandchildren, 75 great-grandchildren and 4 great-great grandchildren. Funeral services over the remains were held in the Paradise meetinghouse June 7, 1910. A large congregation was present to show respects to the departed. The beautiful white casket containing the remains was covered with a profusion of flowers placed there by loving hands. Bp. Peter O. Hansen presided and services commenced by the choir singing "When First the Glorious Light". Invocation was offered by Elder Gideon E. Olsen, Jr. Consoling, instructive and eulogistic remarks were made by the following Elders: William Bishop, William Humphrey’s, John P, James, Samuel Oldham, Orson Smith and Bishop Peter O. Hansen. Benediction was pronounced by Elder Edward D. Miles. A large cortège went with the remains to the cemetery where the dedicatory prayer was offered by George S. Obray.

The 1841 Census of St Mary's Parish, Pembroke, Wales lists: NAME AGE OCCUPATION John Obray 54 Shipwright
Ellinor Obray 54 John Obray 22 Shipwright Betsy Obray 20 Shoe binder Robert Obray 17 Joiner Apprentice Samuel Obray 15 Eleanor Obray 13 Thomas Obray (also known as Thomas Lorenzo Obray) being on a LDS Mission in Malta at this time; Maria Obray and George Obray not listed in the census.   Samuel William's mother Ellinor Allen Obray was baptized on 10th.June 1844, also his brother Thomas was baptized 25 September 1844. His sister Maria was baptized 22 May 1845.
Samuel William was baptized 6th. February 1846 and brother George was baptized 8th. June 1850, making 5 members of the family, members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, up to the year 1850.  The 23rd of November 1846, Samuel William Obray, of full age, a bachelor and with the profession as a Shipwright, and his residence being Pembroke Dock, Pembroke shire, Wales. His father being John Obray, and his profession a Shipwright, Samuel William married Margaret Harris, of full age, a Spinster, her residence being in Pembroke Dock, Pembroke shire, Wales, her father being Joshua Harris, and his profession being a Shipwright. Their marriage being solemnized at the Parish Church, in the St Mary'sParish, Pembroke Dock, Pembroke shire, Wales. (This information taken from a certified copy of an entry of marriage, in the possession of Mildred Obray). On 11 April 1848, a baby boy, Thomas William, was born to Samuel William Obray and Margaret Obray, formerly Harris, at Queen Street, Pembroke Dock, Paris of St Mary. (This information taken from a certified true copy of an entry of birth,, in the possession of Mildred Obray). It is said another boy named John was born to Samuel and Margaret Obray. On 29 January 1851, Samuel William Obray, age 23, and his son Thomas William, age 3, sailed on the ship "Ellen Maria" for the United States. It is said that his wife Margaret would not come with him so he left her and a baby son behind.Sometime between 1851 and 1853, Samuel William Obray married Eleanor Bainbridge. On 15 June 1853 a daughter, Ellen Jane was born to Samuel William and Eleanor Obray at St Louis, Missouri. In 1854 Samuel William and Eleanor Obray, with Thomas William and baby daughter, Ellen Jane, along with Samuel Williams brother Thomas Obray, who was returning from a LDS Mission in Malta, set out from Fort Leavenworth in that they could gather with the Saints in Utah. On 24 June 1854, Samuel William’s brother Thomas Obray married Louisa Shelton at Fort Leavenworth. Louisa died three weeks later. She got the measles, and was commencing to get better when she took a back set and died. Thomas took this pretty hard. (This was taken from the "Biography of Eliza Shelton Keeler", as written by herself, who was a sister to Louisa Shelton.) (NOTE: This was also written about in John Bagley and Margaret Mary Jane Allen Bagley's History in the book "History of Bear Lake Pioneers" the following is quoted from this book: "One morning our captain, Thomas O'Hara, a young Welshman, lost his wife, Louisa Shelton, a bride of three weeks. We had to bury her beside the road without a coffin. That was the first I ever saw buried this way. Less than six miles farther on we had to stop and bury her niece, a girl twelve years old. By that time every man in camp was ill, so the Aunt and I rolled her in a blanket and buried her." Unquote. John Bagley remembered Thomasto be O'Hara instead of Obray. (The book "History of Bear Lake Pioneers" is in the possession of John and Lydia Mae Obray Kendrick). On 29 September 1854, they arrived in Salt Lake City, Utah. Thomas Obray then married his first wife's (Louisa) sister Martha Shelton, while in the Endowment House, Thomas Obray had Louisa sealed to him and then had Martha also sealed to him on 17 October 1855.
Thomas and Martha Obray, and Martha's little brother, Albert Shelton, traveled to Tooele, Utah to find a home. Probably Samuel William and Eleanor Obray, and his son Thomas William and their baby daughter Ellen Jane, must have gone to Tooele, Utah, when Thomas and Martha Obray did. For on 16 August 1855 another daughter Louisa was born to Samuel William and Eleanor Obray at Tooele, Utah. On 17 October 1855, Samuel William and Eleanor Bainbridge Obray were sealed in the Endowment House, in Salt Lake City, Utah. On 5 December 1857, another daughter, Emma was born to Samuel William and Eleanor Obray, at Ogden, Utah.

LOUISE (THOMAS) RANCK
[1898 - 1986]
Written by : Ray Ranck


Louise Thomas was born on April 1, 1898, in the northern part of Utah inthe small town of Paradise in Cache county. Her father was William HenryThomas who was from Pembroke in the southwestern part of Wales. Louise'smother's name was Rosara Obray. Although Rosara was born in Paradise,Utah, her father was also from Pembroke, Wales and her mother fromManchester, England.

Louise was the eighth child in a family of ten children, which includedseven girls and three boys. The sisters remained very close to oneanother through out their lives and were continuously writing, talking onthe telephone and visiting each other through the years.

Louise's father, William , owned and operated a lumber mill thatmanufactured wood shingles and was very successful in his business untilthe mill caught fire and burned to the ground. In those days in thatarea there was no such thing as insurance, so this was a major crisis forthe young family.

William tried other work including delivering the mail. His route wasin the rural countryside which included some very rough and remote areas.One morning in the late fall, he left to make his deliveries in one ofthe more remote areas and by mid afternoon a blizzard descended. Bynightfall he had not returned by his family was not worried because onother similar occasions they knew that he had spent the night with thefamilies to which he was delivering the mail and then would return homewhen conditions would permit. However, William had already made hisdeliveries and was on his way home when the blizzard started. It hit soquickly and was so severe that it produced a complete "white out" wherehe could see nothing and soon he was lost and finally collapsed in thesnow. Meanwhile at home, one of his sons awoke from a sound sleep with astrong foreboding that his father was in grave danger and in need ofhelp. He woke the family and convinced them that immediate action wasneeded. A search party was formed of family members and friends and theyset out to find the missing man. At first light of day they found him.With him was his faithful dog which had laid on him throughout the nightand provided the warmth which allowed him to survive. However, due tosevere frost-bite, several toes had to be amputated and from that timeforward he always walked with a slight limp.

Due to the injury to his feet, Louise's father William was no longerable to walk long distances and so he gave up his mail delivery job andcontemplated what other work he could do to support his family. Hedecided to return to the work he knew best - lumber milling. However, todo this he needed to move to where there were mills and thus he moved hisfamily to Oregon.

Louise would tell the story of when she was young, about the littlelambs which the family would have each springtime and that she and hersisters would love so much. They were so cute and playful the girlswould make pets of them. However they always wondered where the lambswould disappear to later in the year. A few years later she found outthat that's what they were eating for dinner. After that she never feltthe same about lamb chops.

Louise wrote the following about her early years:

"We lived in Paradise, Utah until I was about nine years old. I startedto school there. We moved to Oregon. My father was a lumberman and wewent to a saw-mill town by the name of Dee. The school there was not avery good one and I got a very bad start in school. One teacher for alleight grades. There were about forty children and the teacher could notdo justice to us all, although she tried. The start I got there made itvery hard for me all through school.

From Dee we moved to another little saw-mill town by the name of BullRun, Oregon. I remember when my Grandmother Obray came to see us shesaid, "It's too bad the Bull didn't run a little farther and run rightoff the face of the earth!" We all laughed and thought she was veryright. Here in Bull Run the school was worse. My father and brothersworked in the mill while mother and we girls ran the "Cook-House". Weall worked very hard.

From there we moved to a little town by the name of Troutdale, Oregon.Still another small school with only one teacher for about sixtychildren. From there we moved to Portland, Oregon and my first goodschool. I had a very hard time but managed to graduate from the ninthgrade. I then went to Lincoln High School. I went there two years. Ithen went to Business College. When I finished the business course I gota good job at the J.K. Gill Co. working for the grandest boss, Mr. EdwardDrake. He was like a father to us all. This is where I worked untilafter I was married.

It was grand to live in a big city. I enjoyed the church (Church ofJesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints; also known as Mormon) activities somuch. We hadn't had the opportunity to go to a big Church since we leftUtah. Although there were a few Latter-Day Saints in the lumber townsthere was not an L.D. S. Sunday School there when we moved there. Mymother and some of the good L.D.S. mothers got together and had theMissionaries come to Dee and organize our first Sunday School. We did agood missionary work there. Then at Bull Run she did the same thing. Mymother was a very spiritual woman; the most courageous , faithful, lovingmother one could ever have. She wanted her children to be raised in theChurch and when there was no Church she saw to it that there was oneorganized. She did a wonderful missionary work and lived very close toGod. She made a home for many people and fed the poor and helpedeveryone. She was so good to the Missionaries. She fed them and gavethem a word of encouragement when they needed it. I have met many whohad been Missionaries in the Northwest who remember her and all praiseher name. God bless her memory. She died on her birthday Dec. 6th, 1946at the age of eighty-one.

While we lived in Bull Run my dear brother Harold went on a ChurchMission to the Northern States. He was a good man and we all loved himvery much. Mother and all of us worked very hard to keep him on hismission. While we lived in Troutdale we ran a café. When Harold camehome he helped Mother with us all. We were all very close to each other.One would go to business college and when that one was out he or shewould get a job and help the next one through.

My father died January 25th, 1915 in Paradise, Utah. He had been verysick for a long time and Mother thought if he could get home to some ofthe good doctors who knew him they could help him. So he went back toParadise, but he died there. He was a good man and I loved him. He wasgood to the poor and good and kind to us all. He wasn't as spiritual asmy mother, but he always went to Church with us. I know he is preachingthe Gospel in the Spirit World. He came to my mother and told her not toworry about him as he was sanctified and glorified and was preaching theGospel to the spirits in the Spirit World. This makes me so happy. I amso thankful to my Father in Heaven that my parents were married for timeand all eternity, so we will all be together for always.

When we first went to Portland, Melvon J. Ballard was the MissionPresident and how we all loved him. He was always my inspiration. Heloved my mother and helped her with her large family in giving her adviceand spiritual aid. We had a big home and when the Mission Home was fullof Missionaries and running over, the Missionaries were sent to our hometo stay for a few days. We surely had good times. They called our housetheir second home."

Throughout her life Louise not only remained active in the Church butalso served in many different Church jobs including teaching the childrenin Sunday School, working in Mutual (organization for teenagers), being aStake Missionary (Elysian Park Ward, Glendale Stake, California) andGenealogical secretary for the Hollywood Ward in California.

Louise had a very strong belief in her Religion, which she stated asfollows: "I love the gospel and know it is the true gospel of JesusChrist and is the same as he taught while he was here on earth. I knowthat he is the son of the Living God, that he came to this earth and wascrucified for our sins. I know that Joseph Smith Jr. was and is aprophet of God sent to this earth in the fullness of time to restore thetrue Church of Jesus Christ. For this testimony I am so thankful to myHeavenly Father. It means more than anything else in my life. I amthankful for my good husband and my good children and my grandchildren.I love them with all my life. In fact my life is my Church, my familyand my home."

"I had lots of nice boy friends when I was a girl. Boys in the Churchand out. I thought I was in love many times but when I met my dear RalphErwin Ranck I knew I had never been in love before. I had always beenvery prayerful and I had prayed to my Heavenly Father to send me a goodMormon boy with whom I could go into the Temple and be married for timeand all eternity. When I met him I knew he was the one for me."

As mentioned above, Louise's sister Evelyn met Erwin at Church one dayand brought him home for dinner where he met Louise. They wereimmediately attracted to one another and over the next few weeks becamequite close. Louise would often tell the story of how she first gotErwin to kiss her. She felt sure that he loved her but also knew that hewas very shy, so the first move would be up to her. One day after dinnershe asked Erwin to help with washing the dishes. She told him that shewould tie an apron around him so he would not get wet. But instead oftying it from the back she stood in front and with her arms around himtied it from the front. While doing so she looked straight up into hisface and that is the story of how the first kiss came about.

Erwin and Louise were married in Portland, Oregon on June 6, 1928.

Louise married Ralph Erwin Ranck 6 Jun 1928, Portland, Multnomah, Oregon, United States. Ralph was born 29 Aug 1904, Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah, United States; died 26 Sep 1996, Fullerton, Orange, California, United States. [Group Sheet]

A few impressions by Pam Hallmark Wagner, dau in law: LaRue worked as a secretary for the Sheriff's Office in Portland, Oregon and also for the Benson Polytechnic Boys High School. She became terminally ill with Leukemia in 1963, but was more concerned about the other patients at U of O Hospital than for herself. She went to cheer them up. She loved to tell stories, have a good time, enjoyed a good laugh or joke, was quite a tease. She was always more concerned for everyone else, thus I believe she willed herself to die when she broke her hip. She was not going to be a burden on anyone. She loved her sisters dearly and would spend a lot of time with them.

1951 BIRTH: OR,Multnomah Co-Portland: Bruce Sterling Dalrymple was born 30-31 Dec 1951

1991 MARRIAGE #2: Bruce Dalrymple married Sandra ... "in 1991, second marriages for both. The Dalrymples have six adult children from their first marriages." The Oregonian, 9 April 2010 Editorial Section C, pg 1, 3

HISTORY: The Oregonian C1,3: An eternal optimist, Bruce Dalrymple loved being in control. Whether it was professionally designing centers for the elderly, civically guiding park-district process; or politically pushing for a new minor league baseball stadium--the Beaverton city councilor relished making big decisions and turning "nos' into "yeses." All of which made his deth Wednesday from debillitating lung cancer bittersweet for thos closest to him, who watched him lose control and suffer... Doctors diagnosed Dalrymple, 58, with inoperable, stage four lung cancer in January, months after he successfully battle skin cancer, his wife said... Beaverton Mayor Denny Doyle said... "we're going to miss his 40,000-foot visions for the city... he's always been able to keep reminding us we need to look at the future.
Dalrymple joined the Beaverton City Council in 2006... he also served on the Tualitin Hills Park & Recreation District board of directors for nearly 20 years and held a spot on Washington County's Planning Commission, among other positions. Last year, Dalrymple served as Beaverton City Council president and advocated building a taxpayaer-backed baseball stadium for the Portland Beavers...he really pushed himself to try to accomplish something, City Councilor Catherine Arnold said. "I really admire him for doing that, in the face of all his personal health struggles."
Dalrymple spen his youth in the San Diego area, playing baseball in the sun, surfing in the Pacific Ocean and nurturing his growning love of sports cars. He moved back to Portland, where he was born, to attend Portland State University.
Beyond his community involvement, Dalrymple worked for 30yrs at Beaverton-based Touchmark, where he led construction and development as an executive vice president. Company founder Werner Nistler Mr. described a younger Dalrymple as very confident, honest and hard working.
He was an awesom partner and a best friend... about 25 years ago, Dalrymple beat Hodgkin's lymphoma and he took his health seriously ever since, his wife said. But at the time Dalrymple was warned that his radiation treatment could potentially lead to lung cancer later in his life, she said.
Bruce Dalrymple, who enjoyed golfing with his wife and driving the cars in his Porsche collection, fell short of breath last summer. He found it hard to walk in his Murryhill neighborhood.
When his condition worsended in December, doctorsoriginally thought it was pneumonia. It wasn't until they drained fluid from his lung, his wife said, that the doctors confirmed diagnosis, adenocarcinoma. Doctors from the Knight Cancer Institute at University of Oregon Health & Science University performed surgery to help with the fluid, but it didn't work. Dalrymple's wife said he never gained enough strength to begin chemotherapy treatment..."

2010 DEATH: OR, -Beaverton: Bruce Dalrymple died Wednesday, 7 April 2010 of lung cancer.
