Prince William and Kate would feel honored if they knew they were married on my mother's birthday!
Something to be noted to all of the Beutel and McNaughton descendants.
She was born Ella Jean Beutel on April 29th, 1900 in Jackson, Minnesota. She married our Dad, John Duncan McNaughton after her high school graduation in 1918 in Eureka, Montana. In the chronic absence of our father, she went on to raise 11 children by herself before, during and after the Great depression first in Eureka and then Fernie, B.C. Canada.
As a point of interest, the Royal Family is of german heritage along with a number of other countrie,s Royal Families. Their blood relationships go back many generations.
Also interesting is the fact that Adolph Hitler and Ava Braun were also married on April, 29th.
Ella Jean passed away just short of being 100 years old.
I'll be publishing a blog poem in her memory.
