Family History



Before heading home from camping, we stopped at a few places in Koosharem that have some significance to my family. This house is on Bagley Lane and is where my great grandpa Hyrum Bagley grew up.




Then we stopped at the cemetery there to take a picture of his headstone. My great grandma died only a few weeks after I was born.




And this is the headstone that ties Josh and I together. We discovered after we were already engaged that we were related through the Bagley line. This Edward, who is my great great grandpa, has a brother named Joseph, who is Josh's great great great grandpa. That means we are 4th cousins once removed. How crazy is that. Thankfully we didn't find out we were 2nd cousins. That's just a little too close for comfort.
