Read More	The fifth child and second son of James, John Andrew Ogden, was born probably near or in St. Petersburg, Pennsylvania on Jan. 29, 1863. When he was about 20 he met Emma Alice Sterner of St. Petersburg who was taking voice lessons from his father. They were married on May 8, 1883. Garnet Elva, their first child, was born in the Reuben Sterner home there on January 5, 1884 and Zona Floyd on October 2, 1886. Travelling by rail, the family moved to Spokane, Washington in the spring of 1888. They first stayed at the Falls View Hotel overlooking Spokane Falls---this is the site now occupied by the Washington Water Power Company. The pile of rocks near the falls looked useless and as a consequence the family moved north to Chattaroy where they homesteaded about two miles northwest of the town. A two room cabin was erected and fitted out with gingham curtains. Forty acres of land were cleared but the soil turned out to be unsuitable for farming. Garnet started to school in Chattaroy in Jan. 1891, walking from the homestead through the woods a mile and a half each way. Her teacher was Mrs. Nelson Pratt--Nelson later became mayor of Spokane. After completing two years (1891-93) the family moved to Spokane. In 1891 John was employed on a sawmill on the Little Spokane River at a settlement called Little Spokane. After working there two years he transferred to Spokane to work for the Northern Pacific Railroad, first as a firemen and later as an engineer. Because the roundhouse was moved to Sprague, the family moved there in late 1894 or early 1895. They stayed there only a short time but Harold was born there on October 19, 1895 The family moved to 610 Grant Street in Spokane in time for Garnet to start in the third grade at Lincoln school and Floyd started in the first grade. John encouraged the interest of the family in music. In fact the center of the home was music and included both classical and popular. John played the clarinet. At the time the family went to Spokane there were very few musicians there. A small amateur orchestra was organized which played at various social and community affairs. The membership included Emma Alice who played the piano quite well, John on the clarinet, and Dr. Bemiss, a dentist, on the flute. Emma taught Garnet the piano very early and when Garnet was 12-13 she started on the violin. She took lessons from the highly regarded Professor Warbes. When she was 14-15 years old she played in a number of orchestras at various places. Members of the group who participated in these activities were Marie Lundberg, Denalda, Garnet, and Gustav (flute). John bought Garnet a piano which is now located in Leona Ogden's home in Chattaroy. During all this period the family continued to live at 610 Grant Street. Garnet played first violin 'always'. The group put on the Christmas Cantata at the All Saints Cathedral (now gone) across the street from the Masonic Temple. The cantata was directed by Professor Hoppe who at that time directed the band at Natatorium Park in Spokane. Garnet was doing very well on the violin--playing sixth position. Her father was thinking of sending her to Europe to study further. Garnet was also involved in dancing and took acrobatic and tambourine from Professor Bouley. John took the family to many musical events that came to Spokane. They heard John Philip Sousa several times at the auditorium. Just before Christmas on December 15, 1899, John was killed in a railroad accident near Kendrick, Idaho. Garnet became 16 in January and Harold was three. She finished the eighth grade but after that the entire family was forced to go to work. Emma worked as a seamstress in Madam Derocha's dress shop in Spokane and Garnet helped. On July 11, 1906, Garnet was married to James Clinton Johnson. [From johnogden.net (defunct before 2018), Posted on Ancestry.com 26 Oct 2013 by Lucille_Bluth]
