Bertha Mary Cram was my G-G-Grandma. She was born in Hungerford, Berkshire, England on Nov. 3, 1870 to Thomas Cram and Mary Bunce.
She married Walter John Turner in England. To this union they had seven children. An infant child named Ivy Gertrude Turner died in Kaysville, Utah and was buried there.
Bertha and her family left Liverpool, England on a ship. The ship was called "Canada". A fitting name for the ship since it was to dock port in Montreal, Canada.
Bertha, her husband and family arrived in Canada on May 20, 1905. The family settled in Copper Cliff, Ontario, Canada and many of the male family members found work in the mines there. Later, some of her sons would work for the railroad and venture over the border into the United States.
Bertha's sister, Annie Gertrude Cram had already immigrated to the United States in 1884. Annie lived in Utah which eventually fueled the desire for Bertha and her family to settle in the U.S. also.
The family left Canada, Aug. 25, 1906 in one of their first attempts to live in Utah. They stayed in Utah until 1911.
Her husband was stricken with an illness that left him senile and unable to care for his family so they were sent back to Canada in 1911. Her first husband died Dec. 3, 1911 in Mimico, York County, Ontario, Canada.
Bertha then met and married Ernest Arthur Lawrence in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada on Dec. 25, 1912. There were no children by this marriage, however, Bertha's children adopted Ernest as their own and simply called him their Grandpa Lawrence.
Bertha and her husband, Ernest Lawrence finally emigrated to the United States in April 1920.
Bertha & Lawrence bought a home near the Railroad on Pacific Ave. The house still exists today.
Bertha passed away on New Year's Day, 1955 at her home, she was 84.
She was buried in the Ogden City Cemetery Jan. 3, 1955 next to her second husband, Ernest Lawrence.
