Questions for Grandma

I asked Grandma these questions on the way to the SLC cemetary.

Why was Uncle Charles never baptized?

Benjamin and Jospehine Bright were never members of the church, and many of the family members were upset after Hattie was not given medical help at the LDS hospital because payment could not be given up front. Grandma's mom, Josephine, and Uncle Charles were raised by the Brights. Great Grandma Josephine was baptized around the age of 19.

Was Benjamin Bright like a grandfather to you? Did you see him often?

Grandma said she has one distinct memory of him. They lived next to his farm in South Weber, and one time when she was very small, her mother took her out to the fence where they met Benjamin Bright. Grandma went with him back to his house and he played hide-and-go-seek with her, and gave her some hard candy.
