All are now reunited. Kathryn was born in Hannibal, Missouri. She was very involved in gymnastics and swimming and earned her life saving certification in the Mississippi River. Later the family moved to Salt Lake City, Utah to join her brother, Karl, who had come to work for the railroad and who eventually established the first Credit Unions in Salt Lake City. She graduated from West High School and enjoyed participating in sports, especially golf. She married Gordon D. Anderson in 1936 and in 1955 their marriage was solemnized in the Salt Lake Temple. They raised their six children in Utah and Jerome, Idaho. Kathryn was a convert to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served faithfully in many callings.
