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.”

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.

We extend our deepest sympathies to Kyle Ransom and his family upon the death of Pauline Ransom.
Annie Pauline Ransom (Hutchison) (1928-2009)
Annie Pauline Hutchison Ransom died Aug. 27, 2009, of causes incident to age. She was born Nov. 2, 1928, to Charlotte and David Hutchison of Malta, Idaho. Due to health issues her two beloved aunts in Providence, Utah, raised her. She participated in girl's softball, basketball and with a ballroom dance group. She also enjoyed being part of the Christmas Morning Pageant that was a tradition in Providence during that time and which later moved to the old Capital Theater in Logan. Pauline was a lifelong member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and fulfilled many callings including serving a mission in the area known then as the "South Central States" mission. After returning from her mission she took a position in the cash office of a prominent department store in downtown Logan where she met her eternal mate, Kyle S. Ransom. They were sealed in the Idaho Falls LDS Temple on Aug. 25, 1953, and settled in Hyde Park, Utah, where they raised their three children, Jed
(Karalee) Ransom, JD (Liz) Ransom and Paula (Curtis) Mason. Pauline and Kyle have given their children many wonderful memories of family times including camping and sightseeing. Pauline is survived by her husband, Kyle, of 56 years and two days; her three children, 10 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren; and her sisters, Charell (Paul) Harris and Elsie (Fred) Grant. She was preceded in death by her parents; two sisters, Jean Hendrickson and Donna Anderson; and three brothers, Robert, Winston and David Hutchison. According to Pauline's last wishes there was no formal viewing or funeral held. She always wanted a good, old-fashioned Southern wake. In lieu of a funeral, there was a short graveside service Monday, Aug. 31, 2009, at the Hyde Park, Utah Cemetery. Following that service all friends and family were invited to attend a party in her honor at Lee's Park pavilion across from the family home to reminisce and celebrate Pauline's life.
I deeply apologize again to the family of Orval Neddo Lloyd. Orval passed away on May 30, 2008. I failed to put his obituary into the Burridgette. I feel badly about having neglected this piece of news as I deeply love and admire him and his family. We sincerely extend our sympathies to his family as well.
Orval Neddo Lloyd 1916 ~ 2008
Orval Neddo Lloyd, born May 31, 1916 in Grace, Idaho to Archie E. and Agnes Elizabeth Neddo Lloyd, passed peacefully from this life on May 30, 2008, one day shy of his 92nd birthday. After a full and productive life, his good old heart gave out. Orval spent his youth in Grace, Idaho and Logan, Utah. He served a mission for the LDS Church in the California Mission 1935-1937. He married Thoma Clawson in the Mesa, Arizona Temple on December 8, 1937. They made their home in Tucson, AZ where he graduated from business school and took employment as Field Executive for the Boy Scouts of America in Yakima, Washington. At the start of World War II they returned to Tucson where he worked at Consolidated Aircraft to support the war effort. After the war, he entered the construction industry and moved his young family to Mesa, Arizona where he continued in construction until 1964, when he received a mission call to Great Britain to build chapels for the LDS Church. This proved to be the
adventure of a lifetime for Orval, Thoma, and their three youngest children. During this four year mission, he was asked to supervise the building program for the British Isles, and in 1968 he moved his family to Salt Lake City where he took employment in the International Building Division of the LDS Church. This took him to countries around the world until his retirement in 1985. Orval had a lifelong love of flight, beginning with building model airplanes as a boy. During his early married years he earned his pilot's license 15 minutes at a time, as he could afford it. Later, with the help of his oldest son, he achieved his dream of building his first full sized airplane. Over the next 30 years he built two more biplanes in the basement of his home. In his retirement years he turned again to building model airplanes and enjoyed his associations with R/C modeling clubs and many other aviation associations. Even in his last days, he could not resist the sound of an engine flying
overhead and had to look up to see what was flying in the great blue yonder. Orval was a faithful, active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints throughout his life, serving in the Salt Lake Temple and other callings, as he fully honored the Priesthood. Orval and Thoma were blessed with six children during their 70 year marriage. He is survived by his wife, Thoma, children, Linda (Glenn) Woods, Thatcher, AZ; Anita (David) Jensen, Preston, ID; Roger (Cheryl) Lloyd, Mesa, AZ; Judy (Kenny) Ries, Las Vegas, NV; Debra Gull, Salt Lake City, UT; Barry (Jill) Lloyd, Highland, UT; brother, Bennion (Dorothy) Lloyd, sisters, Phyllis (Howard) Schow, Venice Holt, and many nieces and nephews. His posterity includes 32 grandchildren and 65 great-grandchildren. He was a loving husband and father who will be deeply missed until we see him again. Funeral services were held Fri., June 6, 2008, 11 a.m. at the Hillside Stake Center, 1400 S. 1900 E., Salt Lake City. Friends visited with
the family Thurs. evening from 6-8 p.m. at the Holbrook Mortuary, 3251 S. 2300 E., and at the church Friday morning from 9:30-10:30 a.m. prior to funeral. Burial was in the Thatcher, Arizona cemetery on June 7, 2008.

News from Dennis Anderson
"This summer as we were taking a bunch of grandkids through Grand Canyon, Zion, Bryce and other parts of southern Utah we got a call from RoseMary's nearly 89 year-old mother. She informed us that she had bought a small house in Logan in a "55 and over" development. Before we left Smithfield on the trip, she'd approached us about buying her house from her. We thought she would change her mind or at least put off looking for another house, so it was a bit of a surprise when we received the news. Now we're the latest owners of a house that's as much an heirloom as a residence. It was built by RoseMary's great-grandfather in 1893, when his then family of 5 needed more space than the log cabin that he'd moved onto the property afforded. Eventually 10 children were raised in the house. Around 1905 a kitchen and bathroom were added. In 1940 RoseMary's parents bought the house from his grandmother and she built a smaller home south of her large home. I spent a
good share of last winter updating the wiring on the second floor, not because I expected to own the house, but to make the house better for my mother-in-law. Now we're in the process of updating the wiring in the first floor and basement and remodeling the 4 rooms that still have the original plaster and lathe walls and very old wallpaper. Along the way we've discovered that the laundry room/back porch was a screened-in porch originally and the screens still exist inside the walls. All outside walls of the actual old house are insulated with adobe brick and plaster laid inside the original wall timbers. The walls of a large part of the basement are the original dirt and rocks, just as they were laid down in this area by an ancient river. RoseMary and I have been called as family history consultants. It's an intimidating calling. Even though we do have a lot of family history records, we haven't done very much original research and RoseMary hasn't even been on the new
Family Search website yet.
For the past year and a half, one of our grand-daughters, Chantel, has had an obvious health problem. After much testing, the doctors were sure it was a liver problem, but they haven't been able to figure out what is the exact problem. Every hypothesis was disproven, until this last note on Facebook from Chantel: my wonderful Stanford doctor thinks she figured out what I have. It's called Primary Biliary Cirrhosis or PBC. It's an autoimmune disease where the bile ducts get damaged and makes bile build up in the liver. It's a very slow disease where over a long period of time liver tissue gets damaged and the damage just keeps getting worse. There is no cure for the disease, they just have ways to manage it." As the liver gets more damaged, a transplant may be necessary. It's going to be a long fight for Chantel, but with our prayers and help she should make it. Ryan Steburg, Chantel's younger brother, is a high school senior. He doesn't just play in the Oak Grove High
School marching band, he also composes some of the music for them. The band recently took 14th place in the whole state of California. In addition to the marching band, Ryan also plays with the Jazz band and the Concert band. Robbie Anderson (7th grade) and Alex (9th grade) and Kenny Clarke (8th grade) are other budding band members in our family. Fortunately none of them inherited their grandfather's musical skills."
News from Suzi Palmer "We are going on in our same old way. Kenny is the business manager at a sign company and still on the high council. He's also a commissioner for the Boy Scouts. I am the office manager at a countertop manufacturing plant in Salt Lake. I do accounting for other companies on the side. I am in the Stake Primary Presidency. I love children so this is a perfect calling for me. Jim is going to be a journeyman plumber in about 2 weeks. His wife Becky Ann works in Salt Lake and I get to carpool with her each day. Becky Charell is still a busy Deseret News reporter. Joe returned from his mission to Edmonton, Canada last year and married Heidi Kay in the Logan Temple last April. They just bought a house and are expecting a baby. Joe is also a plumber, though not a journeyman yet. Heidi is going to veterinarian school and working at a vet's office. Mia is married to Brett Hein. They are both students at Weber State and expect to get
their BS degrees in the spring of 2011. Katy is a senior in high school and also taking Culinary Arts classes at the local technical college. Danny is well over 6 feet tall and a sophomore in high school. He wrestles on the JV team and loves to practice on his dad. He works at Bartlett Scout Camp every summer. He loves it. Cami is in 9th grade and is very scientific. She wants to be a brain or heart surgeon. Her goal is to think like a nerd, but not look like one. Matthew will be a deacon in January. He is a straight A student and has many friends. We are just going along well in our lives and enjoying the love of family and friends. Couldn't get better!"

We have very close contact with all of our children and grandchildren and are still very busy working with the Washington Post, Newsweek Magazine, and several other media companies for which we consult. I am still the Honorary Consul for Brazil in Utah. Rose and I completed a Brazilian Cookbook in English. A Taste of Brazil, with over 100 recipes. The recipes

New Babies
David and Marla Hansen welcomed a beautiful baby girl into their home. She was born the 9th of June. Her name is Annie Jo. She is especially loved by her siblings, Sydney, Sammy, Amber, and her grandparents, Elsie and Fred Grant.
Brian and Cassie Anderson welcomed Copelin Anderson into their family on August 16th. He has had a very rough start on life. He was born with an infection and spent extra time in the hospital. Then when he was a month old, he became very ill and was life flighted to Primary Children's Medical Center. He was diagnosed with Supraventricular Tachycardia (or called SVT) which is an abnormal heart rhythm (or arrhythmia) that starts in the upper chambers of the heart and causes the heart to beat rapidly. They also said that he has Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome (or called WPW) which is an accessory pathway. The extra pathway provides a second route by which electrical impulses can reach the ventricles. An accessory pathway may allow impulses to travel abnormally fast. They also said he had congestive heart failure because his heart had been in this mode for quite awhile, so his heart was weak and only working 30%.....his body was shutting down. After 8 days in the hospital and many
tears and prayers, he is doing well on the medication. He will be on medication at least until he is one year old, then they are going to slowly wing him off the meds and see how his body reacts. Copelin will have to have Dr's visits at Primary Childrens every month to every other month to see his heart specialist. Copelin is the fourth grandbaby to join Randy and Raeleen Anderson's family in 2009.

Burridge Reunion 2009
Friday, July 3, 2009
I deeply apologize again to the family of Orval Neddo Lloyd. Orval passed away on May 30, 2008. I failed to put his obituary into the Burridgette. I feel badly about having neglected this piece of news as I deeply love and admire him and his family. I will post it now and again in the next Burridgette.
If I leave something out of a Burridgette, please let me know immediately so I can correct the mistake. I wouldn't leave anything out intentionally.
Orval Neddo Lloyd
Orval Neddo Lloyd 1916 ~ 2008 Orval Neddo Lloyd, born May 31, 1916 in Grace, Idaho to Archie E. and Agnes Elizabeth Neddo Lloyd, passed peacefully from this life on May 30, 2008, one day shy of his 92nd birthday. After a full and productive life, his good old heart gave out. Orval spent his youth in Grace, Idaho and Logan, Utah. He served a mission for the LDS Church in the California Mission 1935-1937. He married Thoma Clawson in the Mesa, Arizona Temple on December 8, 1937. They made their home in Tucson, AZ where he graduated from business school and took employment as Field Executive for the Boy Scouts of America in Yakima, Washington. At the start of World War II they returned to Tucson where he worked at Consolidated Aircraft to support the war effort. After the war, he entered the construction industry and moved his young family to Mesa, Arizona where he continued in construction until 1964, when he received a mission call to Great Britain to build chapels for the LDS Church. This proved to be the adventure of a lifetime for Orval, Thoma, and their three youngest children. During this four year mission, he was asked to supervise the building program for the British Isles, and in 1968 he moved his family to Salt Lake City where he took employment in the International Building Division of the LDS Church. This took him to countries around the world until his retirement in 1985. Orval had a lifelong love of flight, beginning with building model airplanes as a boy. During his early married years he earned his pilot's license 15 minutes at a time, as he could afford it. Later, with the help of his oldest son, he achieved his dream of building his first full sized airplane. Over the next 30 years he built two more biplanes in the basement of his home. In his retirement years he turned again to building model airplanes and enjoyed his associations with R/C modeling clubs and many other aviation associations. Even in his last days, he could not resist the sound of an engine flying overhead and had to look up to see what was flying in the great blue yonder. Orval was a faithful, active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints throughout his life, serving in the Salt Lake Temple and other callings, as he fully honored the Priesthood. Orval and Thoma were blessed with six children during their 70 year marriage. He is survived by his wife, Thoma, children, Linda (Glenn) Woods, Thatcher, AZ; Anita (David) Jensen, Preston, ID; Roger (Cheryl) Lloyd, Mesa, AZ; Judy (Kenny) Ries, Las Vegas, NV; Debra Gull, Salt Lake City, UT; Barry (Jill) Lloyd, Highland, UT; brother, Bennion (Dorothy) Lloyd, sisters, Phyllis (Howard) Schow, Venice Holt, and many nieces and nephews. His posterity includes 32 grandchildren and 65 great-grandchildren. He was a loving husband and father who will be deeply missed until we see him again. Funeral services were held Fri., June 6, 2008, 11 a.m. at the Hillside Stake Center, 1400 S. 1900 E., Salt Lake City. Friends visited with the family Thurs. evening from 6-8 p.m. at the Holbrook Mortuary, 3251 S. 2300 E., and at the church Friday morning from 9:30-10:30 a.m. prior to funeral. Burial was in the Thatcher, Arizona cemetery on June 7.
