Carlton Burns Hope was the last child of Edwin and Lucetta Theresa Pettijohn Hope. He was born on 4 May 1888 in Rye, Colorado. His mother died when he was just five years old, leaving his father still with several young children in the home. Without a wife to care for such a small child, Carl was sent to live with his older sister, Carrie and her husband Joseph Francis Monnie, who raised him to adulthood.
Carl married Bertha Viola Kimbrel on 24 Oct 1905; together they had the following children:
George Edwin Carlton Hope (1906-1991)
Mary Faith Hope (1909-1988)
Bertha Alva Hope (1911-1968)
They later divorced.
On 24 Sep 1919 Carl married Rosalettie Evans; together they had the following children:
Richard Elmo Hope (1921–2002)
Barbara E Hope (1926–2008)
Ruth R Hope (1928–1988)
Grandpa worked hard all of his life from ranching, where he met Bertha while working on the Kimbrel Ranch, homesteading, working for the railroad, as a groundskeeper at the Provo cemetery, as the city dog catcher and school crossing guard. During the Great Depression, after losing his job for the railroad, he humbled himself enough to take in laundry and fixing meals for his former coworkers, to make ends meet.
His gentle nature showed while he was a dog catcher. He didn't have the heart to put any of them to sleep, so instead he found homes for all but the very meanest dogs. He truly had a green thumb and it showed in the rows of irises, solid hedges beautiful roses, planter baskets and flower boxes everywhere, always full of blooming color. When he comes to my mind, I always see him first, sitting in his wooden rocking chair with a big smile, waiting for us to enter, then opening his warm arms for a hug.
