As I mentioned yesterday, I had yet to find the Wheeler’s in 1920. Well…here they are.
Interestingly, Lavon (who is Merratta Lavon Draney) is listed as a “daughter-in-law” but she is in fact a “step-daughter” – being Annie’s daughter from her first marriage.
Also interesting, Joseph is an Auto Mechanic. In 1920. I think that’s pretty cool.
One last note – Annie’s mother is listed as being born in Denmark. Every other document I have for her lists her mother’s birth place as Norway. Perhaps one of her step-children answered the questions and didn’t really know.

Continuing my research with Annie, I’ve pulled up the newly released 1940 US Census for Plain City, and there she was!
Interestingly, she reported her age (I know that she reported because she has an (x) next to her name) as 70, but the birth date I have of 19 April 1870 would make her 69 years old. She would have been just over a week shy of her 70th birthday. I wonder if she rounded up on purpose.
Also, she reported her highest education as 8th grade. I wonder if the Plain City School has old records I could look at…wouldn’t that be awesome?!?
Finally, I’ll have to look into the farm schedules for 1940 and see if they still exist.
Annie lived to 1852 so she would appear in the 1950 census. I’ll have to wait another 10 years to see that. Oh, and apparently I didn’t find her in the 1920 census yet – I’ll have to do that next.

On Annie Lund Draney Wheeler’s death certificate I discovered her second husband – Frederick Wheeler. Then I decided to find their family in the 1930 US Census.
Frederick was 70 years old and she was 59 years old. The son listed, Jospeh E., I believe to be from Frederick’s first marriage. Annie did have a son Joseph from her first marriage, but he would have been 37 at the time of this census. This Joseph is listed as 27. Could it be an error? I couldn’t find a birth record for a Joseph Wheeler using the name search on Utah State Archives. I’ll have to keep digging.

I’m still working on the descendancy for Didrich and Karen Lund. The Jensen’s (their oldest daughter’s family) are taking a time-out, so I’ve shifted my focus to their oldest son, Hans Peter Funch Lund and his descendants.
I found the death certificate for Annie Emilia Lund (Draney) (Wheeler) on the Utah State Archives website.
For a better idea of how she connects to my husband, Troy, here’s the relationship chart –
So, Annie is Troy’s First Cousin, 3 times removed. Their common anscestor is Didrich and Karen… Troy’s 3rd great grandfather and Annie’s grandfather.
It is interesting to note that Annie is the daughter of Hans Peter and Bertha. Hans died young, in Sept 1872 at the age of 28, leaving Bertha with two young daughters – Annie (age 2) and Mary (not quite 1 yo). Mary died that same year, in Nov of 1872.
Then, Bertha married Hans’ youngest brother, Willard Richard Lund and had two more children with him.
So, Willard was Annie’s step-father/uncle and her half-brothers were also her cousins!!!
Anyway, on to her death certificate:
