Killed in action during WW2 flying in operations and a memorial Granite marker is in Memory Grove located
off the Avenues in Salt Lake City Parks area . This marker is one of 300 placed in memory of the deceased of WW2BIOGRAPHY: Corp Burke T. Braithwaite
Birth: Jan. 7, 1923
Death: Jun. 18, 1945
Cpl. Burke T. Braithwaite died in a plane crash while flying a mission in the Pacific during World War II. A granite marker is among the 300 memorials headstones of Utah's Missing in Action tucked around in the Salt Lake City Memory Grove Meditation Chapel.
The marker, for 25 years, rested among the memorial headstones, until in the early 1970s. Then Braithwaite family learned of the marker's disappearance when Royden Braithwaite, President of Southern Utah State College in Cedar City, stopped by to pay respects to his brother. The Salt Lake City police eventually recovered the marker after an elderly woman reported that someone had thrown the 40-pound memorial onto her front porch under cover of darkness. She opened her door in time to see a Volkswagen speeding away.
Police called Wilbur Braithwaite, long-time basketball and tennis coach at Manti High School, to pick up his brother brother's memorial. Detectives theorized that activists protesting the Vietnam War were the culprits. This was a common occurrence, as gravestones of veterans of all wars had been disturbed throughout the country's cemeteries, according the officer. Groundskeepers however insist that vandals, not antiwar activists periodically wreak havoc on Salt Lake City's cemeteries and memorials.
In the fall of 2003, when the family read about a restoration project at Memory Grove, Wilbur again asked permission to return the marker, which had been stored in the garage of his Manti home for the past three decades. The marker was re-laid, following verification.
Burke, a radio operator and navigator, was killed off Samara Island in the Philippines in 1945, two months before Japan surrendered.
He had won prizes for his piano playing while in high school. During training; he performed with the South Dakota symphony orchestra. "He was a marvelous man and the town's favorite," said Alice Braithwaite, widow of Royden. "And in a family of four outstanding boys, he was the family favorite – and none of the other brothers complained."

Rrom Mary Agnes Braithwaite Denison:
Rowland and his brothers had to make money for the voyage across the ocean. This they did by shoe making. It took them six years to earn enough money and save it. Mary Agnes was four years old and six months when the family left England to come to Utah. The Braithwaites were already to get on the ship to leave England for America when Apostle George Q. Cannon came to them and told them not to go on that ship but to wait until the next one left. He told them this ship will be delayed and they would get to America as soon if they waited. They all got off and waited for the next ship to leave. They all boarded this last ship and when they landed in America, they learned that the other ship had not landed yet. Rowland was ill most of the time while crossing the plains and Hannah's constant prayer was that he would live at least until they reached Salt Lake City. She knew they would meet most of their friends there who had come before them. She could not bear the thought of leaving him out on the lonely plains.
Rowland had to remain in Salt Lake City for some time but Hannah, with the rest of the family, continued on to Manti. They purchased a lot with a small one-room adobe house on it. They lived in this for about ten years, then Rowland started to build another room after another until the home had seven or eight rooms. Rowland and Hannah lived there the rest of their lives.
Rowland was a veteran of the Black Hawk War. He stood as guard and served as a minute man to take messages from one town to another. He was a member of the Manti Choir for several years and for years sang, "Columbia the Gem of the Ocean" on the 4th of July celebrations.Comments: Obituary for Rowland Braithwaite h/o Hannah Riley Ormandy

BIOGRAPHY: HISTORY OF MARY AGNES BRAITHWAITE (http://www.denisonorg.org/MAB%20History.pdf)
Birth: 9 Nov 1858, Kendall, Westmoreland, England
Married: 23 Dec 1880 to Hans Denison, Jr.
Death: 5 Sep 1937, Sterling, Sanpete, Utah
Burial: 8 Sep 1937, Manti, Sanpete, Utah
I will try and give a small sketch of my life. I was born in Kendall, Westmorland,
England, November 9, 1858. I came to Manti, Utah when I was about five years old. I
came across the ocean when I was four and a half years old. I well remember the ocean
and the big ships, and how the waves would toss the ship up and down. I well remember
the captain would yell every day for the parents not to let the children, small or large, on
the deck of the ship as it was dangerous. The weather was very rough. As I remember, the
water looked almost black. After we got away from the shore my Father held me in his
arms and let me see us leave the shore, but that's about all I remember of the journey on
the ocean.
I got my schooling in Manti what little I got. When I was twelve years old I had to go to
work to earn money for my clothes. I did work for others at first just helping the wife
with the washings, but by the time I was fourteen years old I was working while the
mother was in bed with a new baby.
The people those days were very poor so my wages were very low. I worked for seventyfive
cents a week most of the time, and the most I ever got was $1.50 a week. Some times
I had to just do washings for some family and this I got $1.00 for doing three washings. I
would wash almost all day on the wash board.
In 1878 (Note: Temple records show the date to be 1880 ahc) I was married to Hans Denison in the St.
George Temple by D. C. Mccallister. Hans was born in Manti, July 29, 1856. We lived in
Manti then moved out to Sterling, Utah in 1879. The town was then know as Pettyville,
and it was located dawn on the old road about a mile west of Sterling.
When we moved out there, there was nothing only a little old log room for a house, and a
little rock chicken coop. I cooked over the fireplace for a long time before I got a stove.
There were no fences, and the land was covered with sage brush and rocks, plenty of
them. When we broke it up we hauled many loads of rocks off. I know we hauled a
hundred loads in our life.
We lived there all the time except for a few months at a time when we would move to
Manti, mostly for the Winter months. In 1888 we moved to Manti for the Winter. On
January 7, 1888 my husband, Hans Denison, went into the hills to get a load of wood. In
those days we had to burn all wood as there wasn't but little coal, and it cost a lot of
money for those days. He got so cold and wet, as he had no rubbers on his shoes, and he
froze his feet because they got so wet. He had to have his toes cut off and really suffered
a lot of pain all the rest of the Winter. His feet hurt him the rest of his life a lot.
On February 23, 1888 our son, Hyrum, was born. Both my husband and I were in bed
then, and had four other children.
In the Fall of 1889, on September 2, we had worked hard all summer and had our hay and
grain all stacked in the yard. Hans had gone up to Sterling with the last load of hay for
tithing. He had just got it unloaded when someone came and told him his corrals were on
fire. Before he could get home everything was burned to the ground, including one calf
and all of the chickens.
We built a new home after all these trials. We have had eleven children, eight boys and
three girls. We reared them all until they were grown. The first we lost a child was our
oldest son, John Miles. He died February 6, 1912, of anemia. He left a wife and two
children. Then our next loss was another son, Homer, who died March 16, 1920, at the
age of nineteen years. He died in the Salina hospital from an appendicitis operation.
