My Life Story
My name is Donna Rae Sorensen. I was born November 18, 1929 atthe L.D.S.
Hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah by Dr. LeGrand Woolley.
My Father's name is Laron Hans Sorensen. Who was born September19, 1890 in Fairview, Utah. He is the son of Hans Sorensen and HelenVilate Hansen. My Mother's name is Margarett Elizabeth Stewart, whowas born December 24, 1888 at Milburn, Utah.
My parents were married April 18, 1911 at Manti, Utah and were endowedin the Salt Lake Temple May 6, 1926.
I was blessed by Charles H. Sorensen on March 2, 1929 (sic)(actually 1930).
I was baptized December 18, 1937 by Floyd Weed, Priest.
I was confirmed January 2, 1938 by Fred J. Heath, Elder.
The things that interest me most are base ball, horse backriding, and bicycle riding. The
most important places where I have been are Yellowstone National Park,Wendover, Utah, Delle, Utah, Nevada and California. In 1939 I went toYellowstone. I liked it very much because of all the pretty scenery.The things that interested me were all the bears, old Faithful gyser,the paint pot's and all the pretty water falls, I went swimming inJenney Lake and Yellowstone Lake. There are some bears that ar called"highway bears". They are called this because they go out on to thehighway and stop the cars. Sometimes they climb right into the carsand make the people get out of their automobiles. Some bears comearound the camp at night and take bacon, ham and honey. Some peopleput their bacon in buckets and pull it up by ropes in trees, butsometimes the bears climb up the trees and get it anyway. In August1938 I went to California for a trip. We saw many beautiful thingsthere. Lake Tahoe and Donner Monument; Donner Lake and Donner Summit.We went through Nevada City and Virginia City; through the featherrivers canyon to Orville and saw how the oranges and palm trees grew.We also went through the sawmill and saw how lumber was made from bigtrees. We went to Gold Lake and went swimming. I am going to GrantSchool, and am in the third grade. The names of my teachersare---Miss Irvine, Miss Keites, Miss Blackburn, Miss Sorensen, MissStone, Miss Garland, Miss Empty, Miss Callahan, Miss Fouts.
I like Primary, Sunday School and Genealogy. I am looking forward tobecoming a girl scout. Four years ago my mother was awfully sick. Thedoctor didn't know what was the matter with her. She wasn't gettingany better, so one night Bishop Perchon was called in to administer toher, and she immediately felt better and began to improve. I know itwas just through faith and prayers that my mother got well.
Diseases I have had---mumps, measles, chicken pox, whooping cough,Infantile paralyses.
Brother's Guy Lorenzo Sorensen, and Eugene Sorensen.
Sisters are---Lois Euvetta Sorensen.
