_________________
David and Nellie Elliot Ankrum came to Idaho from Missouri in 1913. They settled in the Idaho Falls area where they worked at the Eastside Grocery Store delivering groceries. My father-in-law, Niel Ankrum, was about two years old when the family moved west. He was born on December 31, 1911 in Asbury, Missouri.
In 1927, they again moved and came to Salmon, Idaho.. They leased the Geertson Creek Ranch for about two years.
In 1929, David and Nellie bought the home ranch on Sandy Creek. Their boys worked on the ranch until some left for military service or got married and started families of their own.
David and Nellie had eleven children: Wesley, Ruth, Carl, Niel, Noel, Glenn, Thelma, Bertha, Raymond, Mildred and Harold. Thelma, Mildred and Harold are still living. Mildred and Thelma reside in Las Vegas, Nevada and Harold in Billings, Montana.
It was February 15, 1940 that grandma, Nellie Ankrum, died and grandpa hired Niel to operate the ranch during the war years. After the war, Carl and Glenn came back and leased the ranch for about three years. In 1951 the home ranch on Sandy Creek had been sold to Axel and Dorothy Sorenson.
Grandpa, David Ankrum, died in Mesa, Arizona on April 19, 1947.
