George Francis Memmott was the third child of William and Eliza Monroe Jr. In this same town of Scipio, Millard, Utah was a young girl named Trena Janette Johnson, the daughter of John Peter Johnson and mother Johannah Sophia Nielson. When these two young people were 24 years of age they were married on the 29th of July 1903 and just two months later on November 17 1903 Trena Jannette died.
Five years later on June 2 1908 in Salt Lake City, Utah George married for the second time, to Genevive Wright. George and Genevieve made their home in Salt Lake City, Utah where fourteen children were born to them. Two of these children died at birth. Ray a son passed away at the age of three years. Carl Vernon at the age of nineteen accidently drowned in the Jordan surplus canal while swimming with friends on May 7, 1940. George and Genevieve knew much of hardship and sorrow.
George worked for the Oregon Short line raillroad, a division of the Union Pacific Railroad in his early years. He was also employed by the Utah Junk Company where he drove a wagon with a team of horses. When his children were young the had pigeons and chickens assigned to the boys to take care of with their father overseeing them. This was his way of teaching them responsibility. He was a stern and strict parent, but only because he wanted his children to learn and strive for a good education. He taught them to never judge a person by their looks but to get to know them and then take them for what they are. They were a poor family in dollars and cents, but rich in love and tender care. Later in George's life, he was employed by the Salt Lake City Corporation in the street depatment. He was a "handy man", loving to putter and work in his shed.
