I was not able to get the information on my stepfather grandfather Marland. I worked with him one summer, about 1964 at his ranch in Virdin, harvested Watermelon and Cantelope, had a very large ranch for growing those crops, the Mexican workers would like to break open a watermelon and eat the heard and throw the rest out, I could not stand the waste and tried to eat the entire melon, the fields were often muddy when harveting and would carry a huge load in burlap sacks, so heavy! Grandma Ethel killed a rattlesnake in her kitchen with a broom one morning. We would go to visit Marlands brother and family in Franklin and Duncan, played chess with a cousin there about my age, he wiped me out in about 4 or 5 moves, that discouraged from playing much. Was picked up by dad and family, Dale was a lot better at playing chess then I was, he got into it pretty good, no one else stayed that summer with me, too bad. I rode Marlands horses to town a couple of times, riding thru the destery hills was lots of fun, had miles to ride. I understand that Marland is buried in the area but never got his information as I was in the army when he died. I visited the cousins once when I was driving thru to Mexico and Guatamala in 1973, the cousin had an airplane and took me for a ride, what a ride, he was insane, ha, took us way up and put into a dive to show me zero gravity, things floated in the cockpit, falling at the same speed we were diving, he landed on the highway and took off, guess he was able to spot the road far enough ahead before landing, was some excitement, but have never been back or heard more from these cousins or family. After grandpa died and grandma alone, never heard any more of anything. Will have to go back one day, if anyone is still there living.

Virden is a village in Hidalgo County , New Mexico, United States. The population was 143 at the 2000 census. The nearby community of Summit, essentially belongs to Virden, and is included in the population. Growth and new construction is almost non-existent, but together with the Arizona sister-village of Duncan, the consolidated area might experience minimal population and infrastructural growth in the next decade.History
Known as Richmond prior to 1916, the area was originally owned by the New Mexico Mining Company, and was the location of a stamp mill for the silver ore mined in nearby Ralston . After the mine was closed, the site was sold in 1916 to Mormons who had left the Mormon Colonies in Chihuahua during the Mexican Revolution. The Mormons renamed the village after the rancher who sold them the land.Trying to find using LDS site

Information from Glenn Anderson, brother to Gerald. Was always into investments, had gold mines and oil wells, remember he came to our house in Oroville in early 60's, my father, Glenn, Uncle Floyd, Don, etc. were having an exciting time with a giger counter and uranium samples he had from mines in Southern Utah and Colorado. Apparently he had also interested his uncles to invest but then was out spending all the investments and lost everything which caused a lot of pain and problems for those who lost, said that his uncle was driving and they argued until the uncle crashed his car into a bridge abutment injuring all of them, Gerald got infection and eventually gangreen that he died from.

Gale was killed by the police in SLC, a story of his terrible tragedy was in a detective magazine. He had a terrible life, he had an eye blinded and a couple of fingers blown off with a dynamite cap. He stayed with my family at times and his grandmother Ethel took care of him a short while.
