health and loved and cared for him as their own.
When Grant was five years old, Junius died, leaving Hazel and Grant.
At this time, Hazel legally adopted Grant, however his father Ezra
Cooley, requested that his name not be changed. A quote from Hazel's
journal reads: "Grant ws a loyal loving son, who was ever ready to
help me in every way he could."
At this time, Hazel's Aunt Libby, moved in with her and Grant; She
was with them until her death two months following Grant's departure
to the mission field. he served from 1938-1941 in the Western States
Mision.
Grant was loved, adored, and spoiled by two women whom he lived with
through his growing up years. He also had a loving Uncle that he
loved and worked with all of his life--Hazel's brother, Royden.
Grant Married Eunice Toolson, in the Logan Temple, 6 June 1941. He
had three children: Richard Grant, Helen (Hellstern), and Marry Ann
(Booth).
He loved farming and took gret pride in his accomplishments in this
occupation. He loved to travel and he, Eunice, Hazel, and Royden
spent many vacations together traveling to various locations.
Grant loved his family and always made them his main priority. His
main goal in life was to provide for his family and give them the
happiness that he had growing up.
He kept close ties with his biological family as well.
At the age of 56, he passed away and has been greatly mised by all.
He was well known for his giving nature. He would often slip an
extra bit of cash in someone's pocket if he felt they needed it more
than he. Besides his own family who loved him so, his mother really
felt a loss because of his daily visits. In fact, her last journal
entry was the day Grant died.
