Baptisms
I have had the privilege of going to the Salt Lake City Temple and being baptized for the dead.
Times Baptized
I have went to the temple three different times. In 1932 I was baptized about 20 times. In 1934 I was baptized about 25 times. In 1936 I was baptized about 25 times. I hope to go down a great many other times to do work for dead. I also expect to do other kids of Temple Work when I get older.

Velda worked for Ogden Arsenal after she graduated from high school. She played the guitar and the piano, both of which her mother had bought for her. She loved to go to the Berthanna Roller Skating Rink on 24th St. She always attended church growing up and went to a genealogy class on Monday evenings. Her brother Ralph would go with her. Ralph remembered that their dog would wait on the steps of the church while they were there and walk home with them.
Ralph and Delbert were in the service when Velda was killed. The Red Cross got ahold of Ralph who was stationed in New Orleans. He boarded a train and met Delbert in Texas who was serving in the army in the tank corp. The night she was killed, she had been up to the hospital to visit a friend, Mary Bishop, who had at one time lived at the Stagge Home. Some guy Velda knew wanted a ride home and for some unknown reason they ended up far away at Beaver Dam which was between Collingston and Logan. The car went over an embankment and she was killed. The driver was very unconcerned and said he was tired and wanted to go home. The sheriff wanted to press charges, but they never did. Found on FamilySearch.org
