Comments by V. D. Justesen to his daughter Marie in 1987;
Grandpa Hans Peter Justesen had a store and a sheep business in Salin
a, Utah
He set my Dad up with some sheep. Dad didn't like the sheep. Whe
n I was
thirteen years old we moved to Fielding, Utah.(1915) Dad took up a h
omestead
there. Uncle Charles; Ma's only brother only had one leg. Mother too k care of him whe he was so sick, with the cancer in his stump.
He took a dare to jump of an old coal shed. He jumped off the hig h front
part and broke his leg. It never healed right. He had many operation
s, and
it turned to cancer.
He herded sheep in Carey, Idaho, until he couldnt work anymore, t
hen he
came and lived with Ma and Dad in Magna, the rest of his life. He di
ed and was buried the the Pleasant Green Cemetery there in Magna. H
