Charlotte Mikesell Gunnell, 95, Soda Springs, Idaho, died Jan 17, 2003 She was residing in the Jamestown Assisted Living Center, Provo, Utah. She was born Sept 2, 1907 in Soda Springs, Idaho. She was the daughter of Iona Beus and John Mikesell. She married the late Earl T. Gunnell in the Salt Lake LDS Temple Jan 9, 1929.
Charlotte lived her life for her three children, 18 grandchildren, 73 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild. She is deeply loved and appreciated by all of them. Charlotte was born in a log cabin on the old Mikesell homestead in Wood Canyon, six miles east of Soda Springs. She lived there until her high school years when the family moved to a rock home on the east edge of Soda Springs.
Charlotte had been an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints all of her life and held many positions of responsibility including Relief Society president. She and Earl were Logan Temple workers for six months. She was charter member of the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers and had been a secretary and president of her chapter.
Charlotte particularly enjoyed her time in Boise when Earl served three terms in the Idaho House of Representatives and later on the Idaho Park and Tourism boards.

She is survived by her three children, Earl Leroy (Mary Lois Boling-broke), Orem, UT, Robert Dean (Jeri Ann Jensen), Provo, UT, and Shirley Jean (David Clegg), Eagle, ID. All her brothers and sisters, parents, husband, and two great-grandchildren, have preceded her in death. Services will be 12 noon Thurs. Jan 23, Soda Springs LDS 8th Ward Chapel, 260 E.

CARIBOU COUNTY IDAHO ~ 1903 ~1997 OBITUARY JOURNAL
When she was very young, Mrs. Earl (Charlotte Mikesell) Gunnell of Soda Springs, Idaho decided to keep a journal of deaths and other various information items for Caribou County. Some of the early information she wrote down came from old newspapers. The information included a section of Bannock County which is now part of Caribou County.
There are also a few records from Bear Lake County, Franklin County, and some in Wyoming. She kept these records until 1997, just before she entered a care center. She died in January 2003.
We have been asked to transcribe this information and place it on the Internet for the benefit of genealogists interested in these records. Some private remarks are in brackets to note a particular area or subject. The spelling, punctuation, abbreviations, and style of writing are Mrs. Gunnell's and we have not tried to correct it unless it needed to be made clear or we knew the particulars. Note: Residents of the area have always used the term "Soda" to mean Soda Springs, the name of Gray to for Gray's Lake, and Lava for Lava Hot Springs. The questions of burial? or buried? at the end of some items are Mrs. Gunnell's notations. Mrs. Gunnell also added the abbreviation of Sp. to Soda later. It was difficult sometimes to decipher the differences in how she wrote "a" and "o", so there may be errors because of it.
Some of the records were just short notations. We have decided to include the obituary, if possible, whenever we could find it. We hope the additional information will be useful. We also found the style of writing obituaries during this period of time to be very interesting. We would like to thank Dianne Brown for scanning and sending this information to us from Mrs. Gunnell's original records. We also thank Jeff Anderson for entrusting Mrs. Brown to do the scanning from Mrs. Gunnell's book. What a treasure this is for all genealogists!
