Who are these folks?

This photo was given to me at the Moyle Family reunion in August with no identifying information, other than a piece of yellow paper with my sister Natalie's name on it and our old family phone number from 20 years ago. Also listed on this paper were the names of Becky Moyle Alder and her brother Bob Moyle, their father Frank, and Frank's grandfather James Moyle. Any Moyle family members know the identity of the people in this photograph?

The Ballad of John Rowe Moyle



The Theodore Taylor Burton and Florence Moyle Burton home during the 1930 US Census was located at 244 West 7th South in Salt Lake City. The home was then valued at $3,600 (wow!). These photos show the inside of the home in 1936. Also living in this home in 1930 were Aunt Gertrude Moyle, Florence's sister, and the sons of Florence and TT Burton: Theodore Moyle Burton (Ted), Wilford Moyle Burton (Bill), and Kenneth Moyle Burton (Ken).

This is one of my favorite Moyle family photos. I don't know everyone in this picture, but second from left is my grandfather, Theodore Moyle Burton; center in the light suit is his wife and my grandmother, Minnie Preece Burton; next to her is Henry D. Moyle, and on the far right Gordon B. Hinckley. Photo is undated. I have an original print in my possession.

Moyle Family Reunion 2013, Alpine, UT

I'm really excited about the John Rowe Moyle Family reunion this week! We're looking forward to meeting cousins for the first time and seeing what family history documents we all have to share with one another. For some reason, the moment I begin working on family history, I get all sorts of computer issues that weren't there before. Right now, my Photoshop is acting up! So I'll try posting an old letter from James Moyle to Stephen Moyle to make sure it's available for August 10.
