George Edwin Carlton Hope was the first child of Carlton Burns Hope, son of Edwin and Lucetta Theresa Pettijohn Hope, and Bertha Viola Kimbrel, daughter of Perry Thomas and Mary Carter Kimbrel.
In 1912, Georges parents established a homestead, which was located at the mouth of Crandall Canyon, just west of Castle Gate, Utah. Bertha wasnt very happy with the rough living conditions and moved back to Colorado; the couple divorced soon after.
In the summer of 1917 on 25 June, George and his little sister, Mary Faith were spending time at their fathers property when the Mammoth Dam failed, causing millions of dollars in damage downstream, flooding the coal mine below, homes in several towns, the railroad and other businesses. A letter was sent to his mother in Colorado to meet them half way, as the water had flooded the homestead.
In the 1920 Federal Census, George, his mother, two sisters and stepfather were living in Canal, Lyon County, Nevada; George was now 14 years old. George attended the Walsenburg High School. The 1930 census shows him living back in St Marys, Colorado, working as a laborer at age 22, in the household of his widowed grandmother, Mary Kimbrel.
At times, George worked for C.F. & I. in Colorado. He also worked construction on the Alcan Highway in Alaska and Canada.
At the age of 27, George Edwin Carlton Hope was united in marriage on 20 March 1934 to the love of his life, the 19 year old Dorothy Elizabeth Tribble in Walsenburg. Dorothy was the daughter of Silas and Mary Lois Betts Tribble. She was born in Wetmore, Custer, Colorado on 31 December 1914.
George and Dorothy Hope welcomed their first child, Edwin Carl Hope, into the world in 1935 in Denver, Colorado. The family moved temporarily to Utah in 1936. Their son Charles was born next in Colorado, quickly followed by a daughter, Mary Faith Hope. In 1940, the growing family was now living in Badito, Colorado.
In about 1942, the Hope family made their move permanently to Utah. George had obtained work at the Geneva Steel Mill. The family first lived in Provo before buying their home in Orem where George would live out the rest of his days.
January of 1943 brought both great happiness and the deepest heartbreak to the family. A second daughter with the angelic name of Alice Ann Hope was born on 16 January and died only two days later. Little Alice was buried in the Provo Cemetery in the George Evans family plot.
The sadness of Alice death was replaced with joy in 1948 with the arrival of their final child, Vona Mae Hope, and the pure delight that she brought with her into the home. George and Dorothy raised the rest of their children to be responsible and loving adults and soon found themselves becoming grandparents, a position in their lives they wouldnt trade for the world.
Sad news from Mesa, Arizona of the death of their oldest son, Edwin Carl Hope in 1965. Georges father passed away on the following September. Less than five years later his sister Bertha Alva Babe Hope Tribble died in Los Angeles, California.
After 27 years of Service, George retired from Geneva Steel in 1971. Mr. and Mrs. George E. Hope celebrated 50 years of marriage at the Evangelical Free Church in Orem, Utah on Tuesday, 20 March, 1984. It was quite the event. In 1987 a large family gathering was held in honor of George's 80th birthday at the home of his brother, Richard Elmo Hope. Close family members were invited to camp, play games and enjoy a large array of food. Matching T-shirts were worn with name tags to keep track of who belonged to whom. Family came from all over the United States to attend.
The large birthday celebration would be the last get-together to be had with two of his sisters. In April, 1988, his youngest sister, Ruth passed away. The following May, he lost another sister, Mary Faith Hope Mitchell Wright.
George Edwin Carlton Hope passed away on 2 August 1991 from complications following a stroke at the Utah Valley Hospital in Provo. George and Dorothy were both faithful members of the Evangelical Free Church. At the time of his death, he had 9 grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren. Dorothy soon sold the home they spent so many loving years in as a family and moved to Arizona where she could be closer to their two surviving children; their youngest child, Vona Mae Hope Schantz had passed away at the age of 48 in 1996. Dorothy Elizabeth Tribble Hope died on 18 March 2006 in Parker, La Paz, Arizona. They are both buried in Orem, Utah.
