Sharon in her Early Years

Sharon was born on June 23, 1933 to Thomas and Dorothy Hadley Bloxham at Downey, Idaho.  Her given name was Sharron Alma Bloxham.  She never warmed up to Alma and evidently Sharron, with two r's, didn't work for her either.  She always went by Sharon.  She was the second of four children, and was an "inside" girl from the beginning.  Gordon (Pete), Val (Buster) and Beth all loved to be outside with the animals and in the fields, but Sharon much preferred inside chores.  She enjoyed the cooking, cleaning and helping to tend all the younger cousins who would come to stay.
