Getting Started

This blog is being started to aid my research on William Elbert Slade.  Basically, it is for my ENG 344 class at ASU called Intermediate Family History.  I will be doing my paper on my maternal great grandfather.  He is the father of Norma Simmons, my Grams.  I will be posting things here that I find to aid in my research.  If you have stumbled across this blog, it could be because you are family and interested in what I am finding, or maybe you have something to add.  This should be fun, here we go.


This is a copy of an article printed in the Deseret News regarding the death of William's father.
