cattle and grew hay, sugar beets and a wide variety of row crops. His
determination and hard work combined to make his ranch/farm into a Plain City
icon. There was nothing he couldn't grow successfully. Along with raising
great crops, he would always give any boy who was willing, an opportunity to
work. Many a Plain City youth earned his spending money hauling and stacking
hay, hoeing beets, pulling weeds and picking vegetables for Ted. Ted has three
wonderful children, Hal, Jay and Jill. Ted taught each of his children the
importance of work and the satisfaction derived from a job well done. His
strong work ethic has been passed on to his children and grandchildren as he
worked along side of each of them. "Dad, thanks for all the life lessons." On
October 29, 1981, Ted married Dona Butterfield in Las Vegas, Nevada. She
became his "Asphalt Cowgirl". He quickly indoctrinated her into Plain City
life. The two worked side by side enjoying the satisfaction of making things
grow. Ted was a very responsible man. He served as a director of the Plain
City Irrigation Co. as well as its President for several years. He also served
on the Weber River Water board. In 1968, Ted received the Soil Conservationist
of the Year award for Weber County. In 1990, Governor Bangerter appointed Ted
to serve on the Weber Basin Water Board. In 1994, he was appointed to a second
term by Governor Leavitt. He thoroughly enjoyed his service on the board. He
looked forwar d to working with the other esteemed colleagues there. Ted is
survived by his wife, Dona; three children, Hal (Holly), Las Vegas, NV; Jay
(Debbie), and Jill (Henry), both of Plain City; ten grandchildren and six
great-grandchildren. The family wishes to give special thanks to Hearts for

children. Martin was an avid outdoorsman, who enjoyed camping, fishing,
hunting, and trapping with his family (it was said he could fish in a mud
puddle). Upon retirement in 1989, he and Norma moved to Malad, ID, where they
made their home for the next 15 years. While in Malad, Martin continued his
