Buried 31 Dec 1991, TuesdayViolet Mangus
Violet Berthelson Mangus, 84, was born Febrary 8, 1907, in Penrose, Wyo., a little town that has all but disappeared except for the little cemetery up on the hill. She was the 6th child of James C. and Botilda Gylling Berthelson in a family of 13. Her growing up was that of a pioneer child.
She died Friday, Dec. 27, 1991 at the New Horizons Care Center in Lovell of natural causes.
Education was considered very important, and she graduated from the Big Horn Academy at Cowley in 1924. She attended the University of Wyoming for one year and then at age 18 came to Byron, Wyo. to become a teacher. She taught second grade for two years.
She married Charles Choncie Mangus on May 21, 1927, at Basin, Wyo. This marriage was solemnized at the Logan, Utah Temple in June, 1928. To this union were born four children, Mrs. Ray (Peggy) Havig of Billings, Mont., Bert Mangus of Casper, Wyo.; Jay Mangus of Worland, Wyo., and Wayne Mangus of Farmington, N.M. She loved her husband and family dearly.
Violet and Chon liked to dance. They made a handsome couple; he was dark, she was blonde, and he held her in a very special way.
Violet was once asked what she liked best, and she replied, "You name it and I like it." And she kept a mental interest to the end of her life. She loved people - the old, the young, and especially her families. She comforted them. Many stories came to her through letters and sentiments on beautiful cards.
One young grandson had the usual childhood fears. Though he lived far away, he would say to himself, "I'll just go and tell Gran, and she'll say, ''That's alright'," and he'd go to sleep.
Her letters went overseas, over the Earth, and strangely enough, it seemed she responded to needs and they were uplifted.
In the children that she taught, she had a deep, living, interest that went far beyound reading and writing, and she followed their progress through life and was proud of their accomplishments.
She never had anything she couldn't give away, and you would be surprised at the homes that had one of her treasures. Money was something to be shared, and she was generous to friend and stranger alike.
Violet and Chon always lived rich on a little. They were interesed in so many things; people, hills, rocks, flowers, antiques, or just going places, always with that side-by-side participation that Violet missed so much when Chon left. But they had 56 years of marriage and for that, she and her children were forever grateful.
Violet never wanted to be put on a pedestal. Her feet were of the earth. She just wanted to be known as one who loved her family and her fellowmen.
"Dad and I must have done somethings right; we have such fine posterity. Their paths are not without difficulty, but they walk with courage and kindness."
She is survived by a sister, Dixie McClure of Dillon, Mont., two brothers, Si Berthelson of Meeker, Colo. and Arnold Berthelson of Dell, Mont.; her four children and their spouses; 15 grandchildren; and 35 great-grandchildren.
Funeral services were held Tuesday, Dec. 31, 1991 at 11 a.m. in the Byron LDS Chapel with Bishop Allan Clark officiating. Burial was in the Penrose Cemetery with Haskell Funeral Home in charge.

Md Botilda Gylling, 16 Dec 1893, Manassa, Conejos, Colorado
Died 3 Jun 1929, Penrose, Park, Wyoming
Buried 6 June 1929Penrose Pioneer First Victim of Spotted Fever In County This Season
Rocky Mountain spotted fever claimed its first Park county victim on Monday evening of this week, when J.C. Berthelson, a highly regarded resident of the Penrose locality, succumbed to its ravages after 10 days of illness. The burial of this pioneer of the Shoshone valley occurs at the Penrose cemetery this afternoon with all of the living children -four sons and six daughters - present at the sad rites.
Mr. Berthelson was not an old man in point of age, but was old in experience. A story of his pioneer experiences in Utah before coming to Wyoming with his family in 1905 - twenty-four years ago - would be an interesting and proper accompaniment to this account of his death, but the Tribune is promised these details for later issue.
Of the surviving family, consisting of the wife and ten children, there are two of the sons and four of the dauhgters married and the others residing at the home. The Berthelson ranch is a well know land mark, just sourth of the Penrose bridge, where Mr. Bertherslon and his family have beeen carring on their farming pursuits through a quarter century of Pioneer life, and just at a time when the fruit of life's toil seemed promising of a greater success and remuneration, death comes in this litttle ancticipated manner to close his life's history. Mr. Berthelson would have reahed his 71st birthday this month.

********************LARGELY ATTENDED BERTHELSON FUNERAL AT PENROSE THURSDAY
There was an especially large crowd of oldtime friends of the Shoshone valley in attendance at the funeral service in respect to the memory of J. C. Berthelson, who died at Penrose on Monday of last week. Fellow pioneers from the communities of Cowley, Lovell, Byron, Powell and Garland came to join with the people of Penrose in giving his remains honored burial. At these services held in the Penrose Mormon church, the life history of this hard working pioneer was reviewed. It was related that he was born on the 14th day of June 1858, in Voel, ...kaberg, Denmark, and immigrated to Utah in 1877, bringing with him his young bride, Mary Jensen. They settled in Fountain Green, that state, where they resided for a number of years, engaged in the poultry business and farming. In 1882, they went with a colony of neighbors to the San Louis valley in Colorado, making the trip in wagons. The wife died from burns received in the explosion of a kerosene lamp in 1893 at Sanford, Colorado, leaving Mr. Berthelson with two motherless children, three others having previously died.
At a later date, Mr. Berthelson was married to Botilda Gyeling, a former acquaintance who had come to America from Denmark. To this second marriage twelve children were born, eight of whom are living.
It was in the spring of 1905 that Mr. and Mrs. Berthelson and their family moved to Penrose in the Shoshone valley of northwestern Wyoming, where their pioneer life was to continue for another quarter of a century. Mr. Berthelson, through his many years of homestead development in three western states, has played his part well in the reclamation of arid lands, the building of canals and helping his neighbors in the solution of many problems incident to western irrigation enterprises. It is well said of him; "He endeared himself in the hearst of all who knew him because of his gentle disposition, and the wisdom and spirit of his counsel and teachings. His recored of kind deeds and diligent service will long live after him."
Besides his widow, Botilda G. Berthelson, the death of Mr. Berthelson is mourned by four sons and six daughters, also fifteen grandchildren. Four of the unmarried younger children, Arnold, Edna, Herman and Dolly are still at home in comforting conpanship to thier mother; the others are James C. Berthelson of Shelly, Idaho; Mrs. A.L. Carmean of Salt Lake City; Dr. J.G. Berthelson of Alamosa, Colorado; Mrs. Roy Mangus of Hyattville, Wyoming; Mrs. Z. Reed Millar of Blackfoot, Idaho; Mrs. C.C. Mangus of Lovell, Wyomng.
