GERTRUDE DUNN (1895 - 1974)

Gertrude Dunn was born September 26, 1895 in Tooele, Utah. She was the third of ten children and the second daughter born to Joseph Owen and Mary Ann Craner Dunn.
Gertrude married Emery David Hewlett February 28, 1917 in the Salt Lake Temple. They were the parents of seven children: Wanda, Lamar, Lowell Craner, Afton Lorraine, Robert Claron, Donna Marie, and Bonnie Jean.
In her younger years, Gertrude worked very hard on a huge farm called the "Model Farm." she helped with all the cooking, cleaning and all the women's chores.
Gertrude was never one to "put on" or try to be something that she wasn't. Material things did not matter to her. She always felt she was so blessed with what she had and was so very thankful for her family and their good health. However, she was a beautiful lady with long auburn hair. She loved to dress nice and would never think of going to town without her gloves and hat. She was pretty classy in her younger years.
In the late 1920's Gertrude and Emery moved their family to Twin Falls, Idaho. Emery often traveled with his work and Gertrude went along as often as she could. She also enjoyed going with him on hunting trips. She would sit in the car with her young children and crochet or embroidery while she waited for him.
Gertrude's home was a moderate, humble little home which was always immaculate. She had it fixed so cute and comfortable as she loved fixing little arrangements and had many knick knacks. She loved to have visitors and everyone was always so welcome in her home. She was quite a talker and was interesting to talk to. She made friends with everyone. She loved working in her yard. She always had beautiful roses. She loved to pick one single rose bud and usually had one in a bud vase in her front room.
Gertrude loved birds and raised canaries. One called Dickie lived a long time. He loved Gertrude and would do tricks for her. He was a lot of company for her in her later years after her husband had passed away.
Gertrude loved her family. Her grandchildren loved to visit her in her cozy little home where she would entertain them with stories from her youth and years as a newlywed. Their visits almost always ended with a sugar cookie from her cookie bin. They all considered her the perfect Grandma who loved her kids and showed it in every way.
Gertrude Dunn Hewlett died January 10, 1974 in Twin Falls, Idaho. She was buried January 12, 1974 in Twin Falls.
