Gottlieb BLATTER

    Birth: Delayed Birth Cert. # 19478, Dubois, Washington, Illinois
    Marriage: Cert. #71750. Logan, Cache, Utah.
    Death: Cert. # 5806 0081, Centerville, Davis, Utah.
    LDS Baptism: Southern Illinois District, Northern States Mission. Lib #1978
    p.34 Endowment: Salt Lake Temple Records F # 184068 p. 21
    Sealing: Logan Temple, Logan, Cache, Utah.

Baptized by Elder Joseph Empey in Big Beacoup Creek along with his brother
William Lincoln. They were confirmed by Elder German Buchanan sitting on an old tree stump.

Moved with his father and mother to Idaho Falls in the fall of 1898.

On October 1, 1900 he took a Missionary Course, at Brigham Young College in
Logan, Utah.  Sailed from Boston 30 Jan 1901 Liverpool England.  Labored in
East Prussia for two year and then one year in Dresden, Saxony, Germany.

While visiting his brother Andors in Oregon, he met Dora May Hiatt. Married
her on 10 April 1907 in Salt Lake Temple.

His first two children died as infants, and Dora May was pregnant with Cleo
when Gottlieb accepted a mission call to South Africa.  Cleo was two and a half years old before Gottlieb returned home.

Moved to Chinook, Montana in the spring of 1928.

Dora May was operated on for gall stones in Havre.  She died four days later
on April 1, 1934. They had 14 children, 3 of which died in infancy.

Apostle Ballard asked Gottlieb to go on a third mission, and promised him
that he would find a wife for his children either on the way to or coming home from this mission. After filling this mission to Chicago Gottlieb met Lorene Arabella Maddox while visiting his son Denver, who was on a mission in
Arkansas.

After several letters to Lorene and her visiting him in Montana they were
married on 11 September 1935, in the Logan Temple.  They had five children.
Leland filled a mission to Germany.  When war broke out he was sent to
Minnesota to finish his mission.  He then joined the airforce to become a
mechanic, but was soon prepared to fly bombing missions, and was about to leave when he suddenly took sick and died.  Bishop Ball in the funeral sermon said that he had been spared the agony of bombing the people of his mission.

Gottlieb had a heart attack so they sold the irrigated farm in Chinook in
1946, and the dry farm in 1947, and moved to St. George.

In February of 1952 they moved to Centerville, Utah.

This is the final paragraph in the personal history Gottlieb wrote:  "I have
had much to be thankful for all the days of my life.  The Lord has been good to me.  I have had much joy in his service.  While I lived in Montana, I was in the Branch Presidency and then when the North Montana District was organized.  I was on the high council and I had to drive 140 miles to Great Falls to high council meetings.  Later I was chosen to be District President of the North Montana District.  In all the places I have lived I have helped build thirteen meeting houses.  I have given both money and labor and I feel and know it is the best investment I have ever made.  To help build up the kingdom of God here on the earth is the greatest work we can do.  My membership in the church and my family mean everything to me and there is where I find true joy and happiness."     Signed  Gottlieb Blatter

Death place as Havre, Hill, Montana.

                        Dora May Hiatt Blatter

   Dora May Hiatt was born 1 May 1889, at Egin Bench, Bingham Co., Idaho.  She was he sixth child of a family of ten.  Her parents Reuben Hiatt and Amanda Jane Rawson, had moved to Egin Bench after December 24, 1884 from Pleasant Valley, Utah.  They homesteaded 160 acres of land at Egin, living in John Fisher's house while their log house was being built.  There were no floors in this house and probably none in the log house at first.  Dora's sister Edna remembers the log house as being large and a pretty place.  The climate was cold in the winter and much snow.
   To this pioneer family, Dora May was born.  She was a beautiful baby with
black hair and brown eyes.  Dora lived her childhood under the influence of
Latter-Day Saint parents and grandparents.  Arthur Morrison Rawson and Margaret Angeline Pace.  Her grandfather Rawson was a Patriarch in the Church.  Dora May was baptized July 16, 1899 at Plano, Idaho.  When she was eleven years of age her father Reuben Hiatt sold his homestead and loaded his possessions and family onto the train at St. Anthony, Idaho.  They traveled to Union Station, Oregon arriving February 1, 1902 and were met by her uncles Will and James Rawson.  They stayed with Grandpa Rawson's family until their house was finished.  Her Uncle, William J. Rawson was bishop of the Nibley War at this time.
   Her grandmother Rawson (Margaret Angeline Pace) had the little store and
post office at Nibley.  Dora and her sisters would take eggs to the store and
trade them for candy, reporting that no matter how few eggs they had she always filled their sack.  Dora's little sister Lenora Pearl died soon after they moved to Nibley, August 29, 1902.  Also her youngest sister Viola was born the next spring April 24, 1903 and she died in Febraury 20, 1909
   The family moved to Union, Oregon after Viola was born, living on a big
ranch owned by Hyrum J. Lucas.  The house had nine rooms and an attic.  Dora
May attended school in Nibley and Union completing the eight grade.  Her
character and personality must have been influenced greatly by these God loving pioneer parents and grandparents, because she was patient, kind, thrifty and industreus.  She communicated with her Hevenly Father through prayer and trusted him.  The family had a pump organ and Dora May was the only member of the family that learned to play it.
  In 1905 Gottlieb Blatter and his brother William went to Oregon to visit
their elder brother, Andors who had married Dora May's eldest sister, Margaret Rebecca.  Dora was a young woman of seventeen and she and Gottlieb were married on April 10, 1907 at the Salt Lake City Temple.  They had to borrow the money to make the trip to Salt Lake City.
   Their first home was a very humble abode, a chicken coop purchased from a
dry farm, fixing it up the best they could.  Their first child was born her
July 31, 1908 they named her Arvilla.  She contacted diphtheria and died
January 17, 1909.  Dora and Gottlieg could even go to the cemetery to buy
their firstborn because of being under quarantine.  Because of financial
problems they moved to Ammon, Idaho and farmed Grandpa Blatter's farm.  Their
second child Elden was born April 5, 1910 and died the same day, so tragic for one so young as he.  In November of the same year Gottlieb went to South Africa on a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and Dora went to live with her parents who were living in Rupert, Idaho.  Dora was two months pregnant then and Cleo LaVon was born June 18, 1911.  She wrote and sent pictures of him to Gottlieb and kept him informed of his progress.  How thankful she was to have this healthy young son and Cleo was 2 1/2 years old before he first saw his father.
    They homesteaded a dry farm south of Ammon, Idaho and then on May 17, 1914 another son Denver Guile was born, gently, loving, teasing tender hearted son.  Then in May again Ila was born May 8, 1916.  Dora was joyous again to have a daughter to train to talk with and from Ila's remembrances, she enjoyed each day and was taught all homemaking skills at an early age.  On April 17, 1918 Leland Belo was born on the ranch southeast of Ammon.  Dora May and Gottlieb used the priesthood and faith and prayers in raising this young son.  He seemed to contat pneumonia easily.  He grew to be a handsome young man.  Then on December 9, 1919 on a cold and snowy day, Rula was born, another daughter.  She was fun loving, dark-haried and brown eyed daughter.  She developed a lot of Dora's characteristics and qualities.  Also we family
members are indebted to her for compiling information of Dora May's life.
Another son, the youngest and lsat son of Dora May's was born September 8, 1926 and died the same day.  So now Dora May had laid three babies to rest.  On October 25, 1927 in Ammon another blonde, brown-eyed girl was born.  They named her Itha May.  She had but six short years with Dora May, but cherishes them and her memory.  The family moved to Chinook, Rayola had but four short years with her mother and felt the loss keenly.  Shirley Deloy was born May 31, 1933 dark haired, brown-eyes beautiful last child of Dora May's.
   Some months before Shirley was born, Dora was in pain and having trouble
with her gall bladder, the pregnancy seemed to aggravate this condition  This
didn't keep her from being thrilled with joy at the thought of a new baby.  On Tuesday March 27, 1934 Dora May had surgery for gallstones and by Friday was doing well so Gottlieb came home to get a meal and much needed rest.  He was called almost immediately back to the hospital.  She had complications and either pneumonia  and died April 1, 1934 and buried April 5, 1934.
   The Gospel of Jesus Christ was important in Dora's life she was close to
her father in heaven.  She taughter her children to pray, she supported her
husband in every way even to parting with him after losing their first two
chilren so he could go on a mission to South Africa.  All her children agree
with one accord that she was a beautiful and caring mother.  She made each one fell loved and wanted each one down to her last baby.  When she knew she was leaving this earth life, her last thoughts were of her children and husband.  We as children have this love and concern for us throughout our lives and picture her as the "Watcher", "Watching at Heaven's Gate"

Cleo Levon BLATTER

                   Written April 1991 by Cleo Blatter.
  I was two and a half years ald when dad came home from his mission in South Africa.  He had been home a couple of days when I asked mother how much longer this man was going to stay.
  Dad bought a dry farm south east of Ammon, Idaho.  I would go with Mother
and horse and buggy to Idaho Falls for groceries.  It was about ten miles one
way.
  One day Mom and I were just outside the house.  We heard something coming up the Dugway.  Finally a car came around the bend.  Here it was Dad.  He got a Model T Ford.  I will never forget the smell of that new car.
  By this time I had a brother and a sister.  One day we went to Lorenzo,
Idaho to see Dad's sister and her family.  On the way home we had an electric
storm.  The road made a square turn across a large irrigation canal.  The
lightning struck Dad and his hands fell from the steering wheel, and we turned over in the water.  The water caused dad to come to, and we got everyone out but Ila.  The body was missing.  Dad and I ran along the bank of the canal for a long distance, I thought.  But the back cushion of the car was bobing along.
    Ila was lying on it.  Her little face was blue.  My father administered to her, and she came to.  We were so happy and greatful to our father in heaven.
  In 1928, we moved to Chinook, Montana.  We had a hard time for several
years.  We had to learn how to farm all over again.  It was a difficut climate.  The soil was much heavier.  So we had to learn how to irrigate the crops.
  The 2nd of November, 1931, I left to begin my mission for the LDS church.  I was sent to Fairmont, West Virginia.  We traveled without purse or script most of the time.  I spent most of my time in the smoke holes of West Virginia.  The people were very poor.  I had the experience of cutting grain with a Syth and cradle.  I returned home in Sept 1932 due to my health.
  On April 17, 1933, Beryl and I were married.  May 27, 1933 Beryl was
baptized a member of the LDS Church.  Feb 10, 1934 our first son was born,
Coyne Alton.  We were blessed with five boys and 2 girls.  July 24, 1934, we
went to the Alberta Canada Temple and Coyne was sealed to us.  That was a most wonderful experience.
  We farmed in Chinook, Malta, and Glasgow.  In 1958, I went to work for Farm Equipment as Service Man.   August 14, 1972, Beryl passed away with cancer.  Tillie and I were married February 11, 1973.  We farmed and ranched in Opheim, Montana until 1975.  We retired and moved to Glasgow, Montana, and we are still tired.Written April 1991 by Cleo Blatter.

  The 2nd of November, 1931, I left to begin my mission for the LDS church.  I was sent to Fairmont, West Virginia.  We traveled without purse or script most of the time.  I spent most of my time in the smoke holes of West Virginia.  The people were very poor.  I had the experience of cutting grain with a Syth and cradle.  I returned home in Sept 1932 due to my health.
  On April 17, 1933, Beryl and I were married.  May 27, 1933 Beryl was
baptized a member of the LDS Church.  Feb 10, 1934 our first son was born,
Coyne Alton.  We were blessed with five boys and 2 girls.  July 24, 1934, we
went to the Alberta Canada Temple and Coyne was sealed to us.  That was a most wonderful experience.
  We farmed in Chinook, Malta, and Glasgow.  In 1958, I went to work for Farm Equipment as Service Man.   August 14, 1972, Beryl passed away with cancer.  Tillie and I were married February 11, 1973.  We farmed and ranched in Opheim, Montana until 1975.  We retired and moved to Glasgow, Montana, and we are still tired.

Funeral Services for Cleo were held Dec. 4, 1997 in Glasgow Montana.  All of
his brothers and sisters were there except Velta and Ila.  Neither of those
girls could leave because of the huspands being so ill.
