Notes for Albert Gordon (Spouse 1)
I'm so glad to hear back from you. My husband descends from Phoebe and Daniel as follows.

Phoebe Catherine Snyder marr. Adam Daniel Carr
Gordon Valley Carr marr. Ada Lillian Shelburn
Albert Gordon Carr marr. Clella (don't know maiden yet) (Albert and Clella had three daughters, Lorena is one of them)
Lorena Carr marr. Eric Vaughn Bobenhouse (He chose to take Lorena's last name instead of keeping his name of Bobenhouse, long story of which I'm not sure of the details atm.)(They had 4 children)
Eric Albert Carr marr. Heather Cheree Miller (me)

Eric and I have two children together. Eric Dale Carr and Sarina Cheree Carr, ages 14 and 5 (Sarina will be 6 next week)
We currently live in Rockton, Il. Eric's family (my husband) moved to Cleveland, TN (my hometown) from Idaho when he was 14. Not just his parents and sisters, but a lot of the Carr family moved to TN at that time, including his grandparents. Some moved back to Idaho, but most stayed in TN. Albert and Clella are both still living and are probably the happiest married couple I have ever known. (Aside from my parents, but my dad died young.) There has even been a couple of newspaper articles written about them and their marriage because they have been married for so long. They actually ran away to get married, because at that time Clella was too young, only 15, and I don't think her parents liked him. Albert was 19 at the time I believe. They were very much in love. They had met at the Orofino County fair and fallen in love. At some point in their marriage they began going to church and were both saved and became ministers. They have started up several churches through the years with success in both Idaho and TN. I also believe they ministered in Europe and Germany. Albert has been pretty sick the past year or so and had a scary setback just a few months ago. I'm not sure how much longer he will be with us, but he and Clella are both very positive, happy, and loving.

Albert G. Carr, 92, Cleveland, TN

   Albert G. Carr, a powerful man of God, went to be with Jesus on Friday, April 11, 2014. He was 92 and resided in Cleveland, TN.
   Albert was born on Dec. 7, 1921 at Upper Fords Creek near Orofino to Gordon and Ada Carr. The family resided at the Carr ranch.
   His early childhood included working on the family farm, going to school on Upper Fords Creek, and often walking or riding horses to Orofino.
   Albert met the love of his life, Clella Millage, at the county fair in Orofino. They were married on April 25, 1940and were nearly inseparable for the next 74 years. The couple left the large ranch to begin their life together. After spending time at various locations discovering Washington and Idaho in what they affectionately called the “Chevy Hotel,” the couple purchased a home in Pierce and had three daughters.
   Albert worked hard to provide a comfortable living for his family. He held several positions in the logging industry in North Idaho, before starting his own business. He continued to farm and later managed the Carr ranch.
   Albert came to know the Lord when he was 41. Eight years later he and his wife began a ministry and openedMount Hephzibah church in Weippe. After 17 years they moved to Lewiston and opened Seaport Full Gospel church. They spent eight years inLewiston before moving to Cleveland, TN where they later retired. As a pastor Albert officiated hundreds of weddings, funerals, and children dedications. He often served as a teacher, mentor and guest minister for churches in his community. Albert and his wife traveled around the world to places like Austria and the Ukraine spreading the gospel.
   Albert lived a full life. He loved spending time with his family. This included camping, hunting, fishing, picking huckleberries, riding horses, and vacationing to Alaska, Canada and Mexico.
   Throughout his life and even in retirement, Albert was truly exceptional. His bold character and direct style of communication, combined with his passion for teaching people about Christ allowed him to preach to anyone he met. Those who spent time with him, even for a short period of time, knew he genuinely cared for you. People would say “spending time with Albert makes you feel like you want to be a better person.”
   Albert was known by everyone to be patient, kind and filled with love, joy and patience. He was loved immensely by adults and children alike as he played and sang with little ones on his knee, shared stories filled with his laughter and could always be trusted at his word. He lived every day as the perfect example of a loving and devoted husband.
   Albert is survived by his wife Clella, daughters Lavonne Love (Jim), Levita Carr (Chester), Lorena Parker (Steve) and Helen Hoyt (Brent); 19 grandchildren; 48 great-grandchildren; and three great-great-grandchildren; nieces Marvell, Louise, Loraine, Wanda, Darla and nephews Melvin, Delbert.
   Albert was preceded in death by his parents, brother Daniel, sister Violet, grandchildren Clella and Delta, great-grandchild Travis, and great-great-grandchild Dillon.
   A service to celebrate Albert’s life was held April 15, at Trinity Chapel in Cleveland, TN. Family members hosted friends at the Jim Rush Funeral Homes Wildwood Chapel on April 14. Interment was held, after the service, at the Cohulla Baptist Church Cemetery.
