Grant Haws

My great-grandfather, Grant Haws, was the son of Joseph Forest Haws and Mary Francis Bowler and grandson of William Wallace Haws and Martha Barrett. He was born 29 June 1922 in Orem, Utah and died in Lehi, Utah on 2 October 1983. He married Florence Marie Dansie on 21 September 1949. They had seven children who are currently all still living.

One of his children, my grandmother, Marilyn Rae Haws Anderson related some of her favorite memories of her father. She included how he would take her to the gas station and buy her cream soda and how he would take her on daddy-daughter dates after coming home from his construction job. (A full podcast of this interview can be found on the right side of this blog.)

Grant Haws was a very hard worker and a loving father.  He is buried in the Lehi Cemetery in Lehi, Utah. A picture of his headstone can be found here, including information on where to find his grave.
