Dear Family and Friends,
Our 2010 reunion was such a success that we, as a committee, have decided to use the same formula for 2011. This year we are using the theme “Going Home”. We will be holding our Saturday (July 9th) and lunch at the new Deseret Peaks Complex located in Tooele, Utah. The Peaks boasts a 750,000 gallon pool with two wading pool/beach areas as well as water toys, a waterslide, not to mention the diving pool and lap pool. Our Saturday “get together and catch-up” will take place in the new convention center. Lunch will be pot luck with each family providing their own main dish.
Dinner Friday night will be out traditional hot dogs and burgers with the trimmings in the campground adjacent to the convention center. Breakfast will be served at 9:00 SHARP! Those wishing to rise later may take advantage of the variety of choices in Tooele.
Camping is $15 for full hook ups and $10 for electrical only. There are only 6 full hookup spots available so get your reservation in quickly. Electrical hookups are plentiful and you should have no trouble getting in. We do, however, encourage you to reserve ASAP.
Deseret Peak Complex
(435) 843-4000
1-877-Tooele5
We would like to encourage you to extend your weekend a bit to take in some of the local opportunities as well as the fun sights and playgrounds that are a short drive away. Tooele has a wonderful tour of a pioneer settlement and Old Grist Mill that Grandpa Burridge helped to establish as well as the trip to Rush Valley to see the family plot and homestead where Grandpa and Grandma first raised their family, ran the local ZCMI and post office.
The sand dunes are also a short drive and a wonderful way to spend family time. The Great Salt Lake and historical Saltaire are in the area and this would be a wonderful opportunity to show your children one of Utah’s natural wonders. For the more adventurous of you, Wendover is a few miles further on. It is this president’s understanding that the shows and dinner buffets are equal to none!
Whatever your plans, we hope to see you on Saturday, July 9th!!!

Love,
Paula Mason (President)
Hazel Ruth Isolampi (Vice President)


Directions: Take I-80 West from SLC, take exit 99 to Tooele. Now traveling on SR 36. Continue past Lake Point. Before Stansbury Park turn right at street light SR 138. Proceed to Sheeplane and turn left. The Complex is at the corner of
Sheeplane and SR 112.







A Note from Your President
For the past 20 – odd years, we, as a family, have been privileged to be led by LeGrande
Anderson. We all owe him a debt of gratitude for the many adventures he has taken us on and the many things we would never have seen otherwise. From Swan Valley, ID to Vernal, UT, there has never been a dull moment. We all have our favorite times to reflect back on, my personal one being the 1989 trip to Vernal! The friendships we have forged are possible only because LeGrande and his committees have been read and willing to do their parts in entertaining us, feeding us (so very, very well!), and making sure that we all feel comfortable and welcomed. It is my considered opinion that we would not have made it this long without him and his love for us.
I hope to be able to help you all feel at least half as welcomed and half as comfortable as he has; but please bear with me. My success depends solely on your support!
Love,
Paula

HELEN CECIL

Helen CECIL (died age 79) born in Scotland in 1931 immigrated to Canada in her late 20's with little more than a few dollars and her Highlander stoicism, humor and sturdy practical sense. She met Douglas Cecil, an East Indian, in route on the SS Ivernia and subsequently they married. They lived in Toronto, Canada for years and then moved to the Seattle area and settled in Renton. She is survived by her husband and three children Perlita Mastel, Karlene Arguinchona, and Alastair Cecil, and her three grandchildren, Olivia Arguinchona, Joseph Arguinchona and Paige Cecil.

THOMA LLOYD

Thoma Clawson Lloyd 1916 ~ 2010 Thoma Lloyd passed away peacefully at her home August 1, 2010 following a brief illness.She was born in Thatcher, Arizona in 1916, growing up in Binghampton and Tuscon. Following high school graduation, she moved to Salt Lake City, working as a telephone operator. At an early age she became well known for her beautiful contralto voice, sharing that talent with others her whole life. In 1937 she was accepted into the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, singing under the direction of Spencer Cornwall. That same year she married Orval Lloyd in the Mesa Temple. They had six children, 32 grandchildren, and 67 great grandchildren. True to her pioneer heritage, her unfailing faith compelled her to accompany her husband and younger children to the British Isles on a building mission for the LDS church. This required leaving behind familiar surroundings, and loved ones. Following that experience, the family moved to Salt Lake City in 1968, where she served in many ward and stake positions. She was a faithful and active member of the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers. She and Orval also served another mission to a neighboring stake. She gained many close and lasting friendships in the T.O.P.S association where she served as chapter treasurer for many years. Thoma was most of all a loving mother, as well as a great cook and wonderful homemaker. She selflessly served her family her entire life. Her family cherishes her and will miss her greatly. She is survived by her children, Linda (Glenn) Woods, Anita (David) Jensen, Roger (Cheryl) Lloyd, Judy (Kenny) Ries, Debra Gull, Barry (Jill) Lloyd.

Charles Alvin 'Lindy' Neddo

MALTA - Charles Alvin "Lindy" Neddo, age 83, of Malta, died Tuesday, Nov. 23, 2010, at St. Luke's Magic Valley Medical Center in Twin Falls.
Alvin was born on July 22, 1927, to Isaac James and Alice Osterhout Neddo in the family home in Malta, Idaho. In May of 1945, he graduated from Malta High School and the LDS Seminary. While in high school, he enjoyed flying and took his first lessons as a senior with the late, Olaf Moller. In the fall of that year, he met the lovely lady, Rosella Tilch, who was to become his wife. They were married on July 5, 1947, in Salt Lake City, Utah, and returned to Malta, to a home where they still live today.
In 1948, his father died, leaving him to care for this mother and a younger brother, as well as the family ranch. He enjoyed ranching, working cattle, and spent many enjoyable days in Meadow Creek and Cold Springs.
He was a charter member and served as president of the Point Springs Grazing Association working with Dr. Lee Sharp at the Point Springs Experiment Station.

In 2004, he was inducted into the Idaho Livestock Hall of Fame, and in September of 2010, he received an Honorary Rangeland Stewardship Award from the University of Idaho.
Alvin enjoyed showing visitors the scenic beauty of the area he called home. He especially enjoyed taking "out-of-towners" pine nut picking. His hobbies included flying, building model airplanes, woodworking, gardening and reading. He was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. His most enjoyable time was spent participating in the activities of his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. They were the joy of his life.

Marriages

Cherie is studying math and statistic education at USU while working in the math department on campus. Dave and Cherie were wed forever in the Logan LDS Temple on Aug. 13, 2010.

NEWS FROM DENNIS AND ROSEMARY ANDERSON
Our oldest son, Dennis Ray Anderson, married Gilan Seyedi on June 12, 2010. The wedding was held among the redwoods of Henry Cowell State Park. There was a reception at the Roaring Camp facility. Gilan made her own dress as well as Dennis’ shirt. She’s a very talented lady as we’ve learned over the past months.

Our oldest grandson, Michael Steburg, married Samantha Wilkinson on May 29, 2010 in San Jose, California. Michael and Sam, as she prefers to be called, are both students. Michael is employed at Lucky’s Supermarket and Sam works at the Hampton Inn. Sam is originally from Grimsby, North East Lincolnshire, United Kingdom and now has her permanent resident papers and is working to become a citizen.

Sam has taken the missionary discussions and was baptized on October 16. Of course Dennis and RoseMary had to be in San Jose for such a great occasion.

She’s not a Burridge relative, but RoseMary’s mother, LaVon Peterson celebrated her 90th birthday on October 21. We held an early birthday celebration for her in Beaver Dam, Utah at Earley Park. Over 100 of her descendants and their spouses attended. We hope RoseMary inherited her good genes.

Old age must be setting in. RoseMary had an operation for a torn meniscus (knee) and another for a partially detached retina this spring. In July Dennis was operated on for a severed
tendon in his ankle. Both of us are on the mend. We never had these problems when we were younger, but if we had, we would have bounced back faster.
But our health troubles are small compared one of our granddaughters, Chantel Steburg. Chantel is a 21 year-old college student, always vibrant, up-beat and encouraging all the rest of the family. She was recently diagnosed with an auto-immune disease, Primary Biliary Cirrhosis. PBC attacks the bile ducts and will most likely result in a need for a liver transplant as she gets older. Chantel tells about her disease and life in an essay at http://www.heartslinked.com/chantel/ .
LIFE IS FRAGILE. We don’t know who will be listed in the Sorrow Section of the next Burridgette. Take advantage of seeing your family members at THE FAMILY REUNION ON JULY 9TH at DESERET PEAK. WE CAN’T WAIT TO SEE YOU THERE.
A family reunion is a time to remember, A time to laugh, A time to celebrate, A time to share old stories And make new memories.
May your Christmas be full of peace and joy and your New Year be one of close family ties strengthened at our family reunion.

Apology

Many years ago I was at the Burridge reunion just messing around and an older teenage girl came in and told us that we were combing our hair wrong. You see, we had long hair and we had just washed it and we were brushing it out. She told us that we needed to use a comb and begin at the bottom. I told her that was the dumbest thing I had ever heard. My memory is that I was not very kind to her at all. Quite a while later I somehow learned that she didn't mean to comb it from south to north-but from north to south only doing it a few inches at a time to not damage my hair. By the time I understood what she was trying to teach us that day I couldn't remember who she was so I could never apologize. All I remember is that she was a Lloyd AND that even though I was not nice to her she didn't do one thing in retaliation-she remained patient and kind. Well, it occured to me that I may be able to extend an apology by writing to the Burridge blog spot. Sooooo-if there is any remote chance that it was you or if you know who it was, please help me extend an apology to her. Jeena (435-760-5861).

He will always live bright in our memories." Garry's laugh will echo in our hearts forever. Funeral services were held Saturday, December 12, 2009 at 11:00 a.m. at Spilsbury Mortuary Chapel, 110 S. Bluff St., St. George.




From Gar Elison
“I got some info on George Burridge while in England.. It relates to some of what Ella and Ann put in his history except it is from the point of view of James Bell, one of his associates in the church serving in the Malta Mission. I want to be sure we add this slightly different perspective to George's history as it further corroborates his service and faithfulness to the Church once he embraced it. The following is from the Autobiography of James Ferguson Bell pages 57-61 in the Church Archives and contains a history of the Malta Mission.
About the 20th or 21st of June 1852 George Burridge master tailor of 76th Regiment called upon the elders with “Voice of Joseph” which had been placed in his hands by one of his comrades in (-roly/soly barracks - not clear in the hand written version). He entered into an interesting and pleasing conversation avowing his belief in the first principles and after a few hours spent in this manner he and they knelt in prayer and he departing taking with him more of the publications. On perusing which he after an intermittent visit was baptized by Elder Obray on 4th July and confirmed the same day. On the following day Monday being invited by him Elder Obray visited him at his mother’s where he bore testimony to his wife and to several strangers the result of this and one or two more visits was that Hannah Burridge the wife of the above was baptized and confirmed on the 18th of July by Elder Obray, and has ever since proved herself a genuine Saint and an example to all Saints. Her husband has also proved his faith by his works coming forth nobly with his means and influence for the assistance of our brother and the furtherance of the Redeemer’s cause. On the 22nd of July in the same year he was ordained under the hands of Elder Obray to the office of priest. (The Star vol. 14 says on page 477 it was to the office of an elder. This is in error as he was ordained to the latter office afterwards on a visit to Britain and Scotland) This brother continued after receiving the Aaronic Priesthood to disseminate the principles of life among his comrades and the soldiers in several other barracks by means of conversation and the printed word until on the 25 of the same month just 3 days after his ordination after having accompanied Elder Obray to several barracks on this labor of love and being just ready to proceed to meeting he had gone but a few paces when he was called back by his orderly who had been authorized by the adjutant to summon him to his office. On proceeding thither he was told not to leave the barracks as the colonel wanted to see him. On this he and Sister Burridge returned to their quarters but very soon they were visited by the Sergeant Major and the Quarter Master who in the name of the colonel demanded all the Mormon books in his possession and putting him under arrest for introducing into the barracks an improper person. He demanded an hour to consider upon the propriety or justice in this demand but could discover in it neither the one nor the other; however he deemed it prudent to comply which he did after taking an inventory of his books reserving the Book of Mormon and hymn book which he determined to keep at all hazards and delivered up the rest on condition that they should not be destroyed. Soon afterwards he learned that the occasion of all this was a report made by Mr. Eyre and to the chaplain of the officers on this island to Major Gamble the company officer concerning the distribution of the works and the introduction of an Elder T. Obray among the troops; a report of the circumstances together with aforesaid reverend gentleman’s complaint was made to the colonel also. On the second day of his confinement he was visited by the Quarter Master one of the colonel’s counselors, who began to reason with him and to represent his conduct as improper stating that for aught he knew Elder Obray might be an American spy; our bother replied with politeness on which the terror of the court martial were intimated as the inevitable consequences if he showed such dauntless spirit before the colonel. He was told also that he could be punished for leaving the barracks too early in the morning. In reply our brother stated that he had frequently done so as it was a privilege to be allowed or supported by the officers of that regiment and others persons in his or a similar capacity. Also no objections had ever been raise against his doing so or attending Wesleyan meetings, nor against the distribution of other tracts by him, such tracts having been given him for that express purposed by an officer and his lady.
The quarter master argued that the present case was of a different nature and tendency as our religion was calculated to effect the loyalty of the troops, and to infect them with a desire to leave the service and proceed to America. Our bother started comprehending the nature of the prejudicial influence exercised against him on account of his religion, and knowing how unmerciful were the hands he had fallen into deemed it prudent to observe at east humble and respectful deportment leaving the issue of the event to providence. On the 3rd day he was brought before the colonel and his lawyers who reprimanded him with severity telling him that his conduct was unbecoming a man whose experience and character in the army was such as his had been. He was not allowed to say much in reply but was strictly forbidden to receive or to bring into the barracks any of the publications. Orders were given to the Regiment not to receive any such book and the non commissioned officers were instructed to do their utmost to suppress our influence and check our progress and in the course of a few days Brother Burridge’s books together with many others which had been collected from among the soldiers were brought by the orderly to Elder Obray. Our brother after suffering much inconvenience consequent upon 3 days imprisonment was liberated on 28th July at 12 o’clock.
Previous to his imprisonment he had applied for his discharge, this application he renewed on being set at liberty and eventually after being once more threatened with the deprivation of certain privileges he succeeded. So with wife and child embarked on board the steam frigate the 9 of September 52 not being permitted to obtain his discharge on the island lest he might still endeavor to propagate the gospel, arrived at Wallech on the 30th. Much of his household furniture was left behind which with his sanction was made available for the use of the mission. While in England he obtained his discharge and a pension of 2/1 per day for life. Soon after he proceeded to Aberdeen Scotland where 13 February he was ordained to the office of elder by Elders Macover and Noble and here our narrative leaves him for a while.

I hope you find this interesting and it fills in a few aspects Ella and Ann had not found. “

News From Gar
“We are now home from our mission and building a home in Provo. We have continued a mission call and will be working with the Church Archives in the Family History Library. We will be helping to track historical documents and encouraging people to donate their journals and histories to the archives. We began our orientation on the 28th of December. We are also looking to the possibility of going back to England later in the spring to see the friends we made there and to travel with one couple with whom we did lots of things on our P-days. We had two granddaughters born while we served the two years in the England Birmingham Mission - Olivia, daughter of Shawn & Janamarie Elison of Hillsboro, Oregon and Jill, daughter of Holly and Michael Stewart of Provo, Utah. We have spent time in Oregon and Provo getting to know them and enjoying the rest of the families. We just returned from sixteen days in Baltimore where our daughter, Megan, lives with her two children - Miles and Colin - and husband, Peter Vandre. This was a great time and we got to see the Christmas display at the Wash DC temple.”

News from Dennis Anderson
Anita Steburg has decided to take a big chance. She started her own law firm, Steburg Law Firm, in San Jose, California. She specializes in taxes and estate planning. Ryan, her son, will have an original musical composition performed by his high school band at their end of year concert in May. It’s very unusual to have original student work performed during their high school years, so this speaks well of Ryan’s talent.
Shana Nute is heavily engaged in her own advertising company, Spitfire Advertising. She specializes in helping companies design their own logo, stationery, and promotional items. Her daughter, Brittany, was on the Fremont High School cheerleading team. They took second place in the February nationals held in Las Vegas. Her youngest son, 4 year-old Jaxson, is on a hockey team and a baseball (T ball) team. He goes to hockey practice from 7:30-9am on Saturday and then baseball from10-11am. He keeps trying to make baseball into hockey. He pretends that the bat is a hockey stick and the ball is a puck and tries to score in the 5 hole (hockey term for between the legs).

News from Randy Anderson’s daughter, Jessica
“Jake (Jessica’s husband), my sisters, Nicole and Lisa, my Dad and yours truly ran a 5k on the 13th of March in Boulder City, Nevada. My sister Nicole's hubby, Bartley, and his brother, Nathan, ran the half marathon! It was soooo much fun!
Back in December, my sister, Nicole, asked me and the rest of the family if we wanted to do this run with her. Gotta admit, I thought she was nuts, but after giving it some thought decided to go for it. I wasn't the best at training; I could run a mile without stopping, but usually just lost interest after that. So what I'm saying is, my sisters really had to push me to finish that last mile (that was the hardest mile I have ever run). I'm so glad they weren't in it to really race, cause they would have smoked me!
We three sisters linked arms as we ran towards the finish line and all finished with the time of 31:38, it was AWESOME! Jake left the “sista” pack and finished with 30:18. And my dad beat us all with a time of 30:09! WOW!!! My Mom, my oldest sister, Natalie, her son, Jackson, and my sister Nicole's girls, Bryn, Brook, and Bella, also ventured on this trip with us. They made an awesome cheering section!“
News from Brent and Kathy Anderson concerning some of the grandchildren of Randy and Raeleen Anderson Tennessee: Age 11 wishing he was 20. He still loves Lego's and transformers. He will be receiving the Aaronic Priesthood this June when he turns 12. He is excited to perform baptisms for the dead, collect fast offerings and serve the sacrament, and loves giving us attitude about church (ha). Tennessee is playing indoor soccer and has a posse of friends he likes to be with. Easton: Age 9 wishing he were age 9 and independently living on his own. It's hard to get Easton excited about anything, but once he gets involved he is the life of the party. He has the sweetest laugh and a very tender heart that he tries to cover. It always seems to shine but he doesn't want any attention drawn to it. Easton is also playing indoor soccer and also seems to be the ring leader of his friends. They all LOVE Easton. Kaiya: Age 5 and loving who she is. Life is fun and exciting. She loves to be with Mom or Dad and tries her best to obey rules. She is easy to please and loves to please others. She loves kindergarten and can't go one day without a play date with a friend. She is very patient through Sundays (no play date). She is a great eater and helps Mom around the house with Ever. Ever: She is 1 year old. She loves her family! She makes everyone smile and everyone smiles at her. We love to take her out because so many people are drawn to her. When she hears music she loves to sing. Her favorite snack is little pieces of bread. She is our baby bird.

Garry Troy Maxwell 1967 ~ 2009


Troy Maxwell was born October 6, 1967, and died December 6, 2009, in Salt Lake City, Utah. He is the son of JB and Donna Maxwell, St. George, UT; brother of Sherrie (Adam) Mann, St. George; and Scott Maxwell, St. George; uncle to Scott Anderson, West LA, CA; and Angela Harvey, St. George, UT. Garry grew up in Carmel--by--the--Sea, California. His gift and talent of making and keeping friends began there. When he was 16 he moved with his family to St. George, Utah in 1983. He graduated from Pine View High School in 1985. At that time, he moved north to the Wasatch Front to pursue his passion in the Culinary Arts. Garry excelled in his career and mentored many through the years. He was an artist with a wealth of knowledge of culinary technique, but more than that, he was a cherished friend to countless people. To quote one who knew him well, "I will never forget his matchless wry humor--as delicious and robust as his food. Garry epitomized passion; you could see it in his food and in his love of music. He will always live bright in our memories." Garry's laugh will echo in our hearts forever. Funeral services were held Saturday, December 12, 2009 at 11:00 a.m. at Spilsbury Mortuary Chapel, 110 S. Bluff St., St. George. There was viewing from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. prior to services at the Mortuary. Interment took place at the St. George City Cemetery.
