Brenden was studying Utah history in his 4th grade class. For Spring Break the Wileys came to see the area settled by the Mormon's San Juan Mission, including our Decker and Wood great-great-grandparents. John and I came here with my grandfather in July 1976. Now I'm the grandma coming back with my grandkids! Sarah was four months old back then.
This is the family of Anna Maria (44) and James Decker, Sr (47) around 1900. My great-grandmother, Lillian, is in the back row, second from the right. Next to her, Lena Deseret, was born on the trek. Here Lillian is 25 and the baby is 1.
The mother of the owners of the B & B helped in the breakfast room.
After they were established and had built the big house, James Decker, Sr and four children died within 5 weeks of each other, due to a diptheria outbreak.
The scenery is hard to top.
Oliver explores the Bluff Cemetery.
Bluff is located near "Four Corners" where Utah, Colorado, Arizona and Nevada meet. When the locals want to go to a big city the closest is Grand Junction, Colorado.
