ON THE JOB

Today we will finish up on the Maternal Side for Gracie Gilbert Smith -  Beverly's grandma, and the silent picture pianist.  Remember, her dad owned the Gilbert Store in Murray.  Gracie's grandfather on her mother's side was John Morgan.  The pictures above are both of John.  He emigrated to Utah after joining the church.  He had three interesting jobs.  First he was a Post Master, then a Road Supervisor (not quite sure what that entails) and then he was a School Trustee.  All three of these jobs seem so unrelated - wish we had more information.  John's father - Joseph Morgan died very early when John was a young boy.  He was a brick mason in those short years between when he was married and when he died.  John's father in law,  Joshua Hague Gillett was a collier?  Anyone know what a collier was, is?  It is a really fancy name for coal miner or someone who carries or sells coal.  That really finishes up the Smith/Gilbert line for ON THE JOB.  Next week, we will start on the Player/Spencer line - some really interesting vocations in that group.
