2007 Tholen Family Reunion in Midvale Utah





Last Saturday, we gathered with the descendents of Anna Charlotta Johnson, Shauna's great grandmother, mother of Shauna's grandmother Mamie. Annie emigrated from Sweden in 1882. She married great grandfather John in 1884 when he was 31 and she was 24. Annie died in 1953 in Mamie's home. Shauna was seven when she died and remembers her great grandmothers's long honey blonde hair that she would wind up in a knot on her head. Shauna can send you a longer biography, if you wish. We visited her grave and the graves of other dear ancestors, including Mamie, Shauna's grandmother. It was a hot day, but we stopped by each grave and read about their lives.
