Anna Tenny (Mrs. Clarence Franklin Turley) (1904-1994)

Anna Tenney was born June 21, 1904 in Colonia Dublan, Mexico, daughter of Nathan Cram and Pearl Isabel Walters Tenney.  She went with her parents at the time of the Exodus form Mexico to El Paso, Texas, then on to Salt Lake City.

Our family eventually returned to the El Paso Upper Valley where father obtained work for himself and his teams. I attended Church in Chamberino and also attended Primary School at the Central School west of Canutillo, Texas until my sophomore year in high school.  I completed my junior year at Gila Jr. College, eventually graduating from the Juarez Stake Academy at Colonia Juarez, Mexico.

I met and married Clarence F. Turley. We are the parents of nine children, four girls and five boys.  My interests outside of family and homemaking were music and church work.  I loved to sing and had plenty opportunities as a soprano soloist and singing in the choir.  The funerals at which I consented to lend my voice were always appreciated and I received very warm and lasting appreciation for it which endeared me to the families bereaved.  To sing at a funeral was not an easy task but when performed, gave lasting satisfaction and a feeling of warmth.
