Death*10 May 2017 Walter Ellis Carter died on 10 May 2017 at Port Orchard, Kitsap County, Washington, at age 91.6 
oObit  The obituary of Walter Ellis Carter read: Walter Ellis Carter was born July 23, 1925, in Morgan, Utah to Levi Alfred and Clara (Pollon) Carter.
He passed away on May 10, 2017, in Port Orchard, Washington at the age of 91.
He fulfilled many dreams and chased many others for the 91 plus years he was alive.
The youngest child in a family with 10 siblings, he started as a farmer on the family farm. Later he journeyed through several careers as a dairyman, a landscaper for the University of Washington, a self-employed landscaper, a maker of crab pots, a computer programmer, and a mechanic at Boeing.
He had taken computer training and learned to write the programing on coded cards for a large room sized computer and was fascinated by the whole concept. Unfortunately, just as he graduated, the computer industry began to change and the coded cards became obsolete. He used the training later, however, while working as a machinist at Boeing to write a program that helped keep track of inventory for parts.
He invented a hammer helper, a bathtub in a tub, an electric cord holder, a solar house heater, and a highchair floor bib to catch spills.
He wrote and published poems which gave him small awards and immense joy to create.
One of his major regrets in life was knowing through vivid and descriptive dreams where gold and other precious metals were located. He did not have the time or money while younger to follow the dream instructions.
Later in life when time was easier to find, he began to lose his sight which required he find a person with a similar mindset to explore the areas. Sadly, although he was actively seeking a partner, he still hadn't done so.
He met and married Barbara Jean (Maybee) Ellis,on 11 July 1958 in Seattle, Washington. Barbara was a woman with several children, and they added more to create a family of 8. Divorce on 7 June 2000 in Snohomish County, Washington brought an end to the marriage but as a lifelong Mormon (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints), Walt was sealed in the temple to his wife and children. It was his greatest hope that they all be reunited in the afterlife.
He began a life on his own. Showing his fierce independence and determination to manage for himself, he managed to cook, clean and attend to most of his life duties without assistance until the last year of his life.
He lived long enough that his father, Levi Alfred and his mother, Clara passed away in his earlier lifetime.
And although the family were quite long lived, up to 100 years for some, all his brothers and sisters left this mortal realm before him- with the last one quietly exiting a year or two ago.
Unfortunately, he lost track of his many nephews, nieces and cousins.
He peppered his life with visits from a close friend and his family, going to holiday events and outings with a daughter and her children, attending church, writing his poetry, and puttering in the dirt growing container gardens. Raised a farmer, and later as a landscaper, Walt loved having his hands in the dirt. He was never happier than when he had a patch of soil to plant and harvest. He even cultivated his own hybrid crop of carrot/parsnips that he called carrotsnips.
He lived a full life although there were many things he would have changed. May he rest in Peace.6 
Burial* He was buried at Sunset Lane Memorial Park, Port Orchard, Kitsap County, Washington. Inscription "Walter Ellis Carter; July 23, 1925 – May 10, 2017."6

Leif Ness

M, #5980, b. 4 October 1901, d. 25 September 1992
Birth*4 October 1901 Leif Ness was born on 4 October 1901 at Dwight, Richland County, North Dakota.1 
Marriage* He married Esther Eileen Martin, daughter of George Sylvester Martin and Janet Dove Maybee. 
Death*25 September 1992 Leif Ness died on 25 September 1992 at Poulsbo, Kitsap County, Washington, at age 90.2 
oObit*December 1992  In December 1992 at Everett, Washington, the obituary of Leif Ness read: Esther E. Ness #5, brother-in -law to our President, George Maybee Martin and grandfather to Elizabeth Sevy, #51. sent this, " Leif Ness was born October 4, 1901, in Wapaton, North Dakota and almost at once his childhood adventures started. At age one, the family moved to Petersburg, Territory of Alaska. After his Mother's death in 1906, they returned to the States. Leif was taken into the home of Oscar Rindal at Miller Bay for a year. He had his first ice cream cone in Poulsbo, Washington, a tiny village in those days.
At his father's remarriage, he moved to Seattle where he graduated from the 8th grade. His father, Per, bought a farm at Edgecomb, Washington where Leif spent his high school years, graduating from Arlington High School.
The next ten years were an adventurous kaleidoscope. He was a high rigger in the virgin forests of Washington; worked in the apple orchards in Eastern Washington; went fishing on our coastal waters; had his ship go to the bottom during a storm in Grays Harbor; raised blue foxes for a year on an island in Alaska and bought and operated a service station in Port Orchard.
At this time Leif met and married Esther Eileen Martin. They had hardly settled in their first home when they sold the station.
In 1932 Leif and Bjarne, his brother, bought the old feed store in Poulsbo and spent the next 30 years -- during the great depression -- building it up to a big business and raising a family of two daughters, Janet Eileen and Sonya Karen.
Leif was active in the growth of the little town, serving seven years on the City Council, many years on the Port Commission, taught first aid classes all during World War II, and 30 years with his real love -- the Poulsbo Volunteer Fire Department. When he retired, he was assistant Fire Chief. In between, he built about 10 homes in Poulsbo; spent several seasons fishing in Alaskan waters; built a beautiful fishing boat, The High C. When they closed the feed store and retired in 1960, we bought a motor home and started spending the next 20 winters in travel. We covered over 150,000 miles, from the Arctic Circle to Guatemala and from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Leif was a fantastic traveling companion, and always ready to explore a strange road or to stop and smell the flowers. We also flew to distant places: Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and Hawaii.
At age 85 we found the time had come to give the motor home #2 to the kids and turn our attention to enjoying our grandchildren. Leif enjoyed a close companionship with many of you. I'm sure you all join us in wishing him well in this, his last great adventure.
Internment will be with four generations of Esther's family in Weston, Oregon, at the foot of the lovely Blue Mountains.3

Mary Jane Mount

F, #5994, b. 14 November 1845, d. 6 June 1924
Info* Information on her came from George Maybee Martin, #1 to early Maybee Society records. 
Married Name Her married name was Maybee. 
Birth*14 November 1845 Mary Jane Mount was born on 14 November 1845 at Kentucky.1 
Anecdote* Charles, in hope of visiting his cousins, the Rulisons before returning to Parish, was on a raft trip, which was difficult. When he reached St. Joseph, Missouri he was very ill and had to enter the St. Joseph's hospital operated by Dr. Thomas Mount. There he had a nurse, Mary Jane Mount (daughter of the doctor) and the two young people fell in love. We do not know how long Charles was in the hospital, but on June 26, 1866 they were married at St. Joseph against the violent objection of the Mount family. She was disowned by the family for marrying a Damn Yankee and she never saw them again. On the Kansas side of the river was an almost continuous line of Indian tribes. the couple eventually reached Wyandot, Kansas, home of the Wyandot Indians, a village that was later to become Kansas City, Kansas. There their first child, Clara Alma was born March 16, 1868.
The family then traveled southwesterly to central Kansas where they hoped to farm and to obtain work as a builder. They found a place called Agnes City near Emporia and four more children were born: Charles E., George, Jan, Alice Fern and Janet Dove.
One interesting episode on their travels was when the notorious female bandit Calamity Jane rode into camp one evening and wanted to spend the night. She was placed under heavy guard and the next morning a band of horsemen took her back along the trail for 50 miles and sent her along her way with a dire warning to keep going.2

Anecdote* Janet created hand quilted quilts, many of which she passed down to her children. Her daughter, Esther Ness, exhibited one called "Ocean Waves" at "Women And Their Quilts, A Washington State Centennial Tribute" which was held Jan 14, 1989 at the Bellevue Art Museum.5 
Anecdote* Janet Dove Maybee was six months old when her parents and four brothers and sisters joined an 1877 wagon train in Kansas for the long, tedious journey West. The family settled in the little village of Weston, Umatilla County, Oregon, at the foot of the. Blue Mountains. A family of seven required a lot of bedding and Janet's mother Mary Jane always had a basket of quilt pieces handy to work on. Little Janet was fascinated with these blocks, and at a very early age, she learned to sew together simple blocks. Her love of quilting lasted all of her life.
Janet attended school in a little schoolhouse, which her father built on a corner of his homestead. (This building still stands.) On May 10, 1896, Janet married George Martin, a young man from Missouri. They had four children. In 1908 they moved to the booming town of Mabton, Yakima County, Washington. There they opened a general mercantile store and sold everything from groceries, dry goods, and hardware to coal, oil, and shoes. Each year salesmen brought a huge, new sample book of wool swatches for men's mail-order suits. Janet then made the old samples into quilts. She made log cabin quilts, quilts of just the square samples sewn together, and crazy quilts, which she embellished with variations of the feather stitch. The store sold other fabrics, and Janet used the cotton remnants and scraps from her three girls' dresses to make quilts.
Quilting bees were an important social function in Janet's life. When a quilt was ready to go on the quilting frame, she would set it up in the parlor and invite her friends to help quilt. These early quilts were utilitarian. Janet sent each of her children to college with a special quilt for their dormitory bed. When Janet became a grandmother, she made a quilt for each of the grandchildren. Not realizing the value of these early quilts, the family used them until they wore out, left them behind in moving, or cast them aside in favor of more modern bedding.
In the 1930s Janet started making quilts for the beauty of the quilt, not for family bedding. Sometimes she bought new fabric. Some quilts are signed with her name, the date, and the recipient of the quilt. Today, her family cherishes all these quilts; some have been handed down, mother to daughter, granddaughter to great-granddaughter. Janet died April 19, 1957, in Poulsbo, Kitsap County, Washington, leaving a wonderful legacy of beautiful quilts.6

BaptismLDS*20 September 2000 She was baptized (by proxy) on 20 September 2000.
