Here is a portrait of Vida with her two eldest girls. Grandma Emily is on the right.
Ruth, Vida and Emily
This reel is of an interview of Vida Fox Clawson, that Brad did on June 13, 1962. Vida is Grandma Emily's mother and Ruth May Fox's daughter. She was married to Chester Young, who was a grandson of Brigham Young. You will hear her speak a little about Ruth during this interview. Vida was born in December 30, 1885, so that would make her 76 at the time of this recording. The recording was done in Vida's home on South Temple.

? and Vida
From stories that I have heard, Vida was quite the vivacious woman. Here is a favorite photo of Vida and either a sister or friend - I'm not sure.

Unfortunately, the reel does not contain the entire interview and it runs out while they are speaking. Perhaps the remaining portion of the interview will be found on one of the other reels I have yet to go through, but for now, enjoy what we have of Brad's interview with Great-Grandma Vida.
