    Ralph Greenough was born in Park City, UT where his father Joseph was involved in gold and silver mining. His family left Utah and settled in Sumas, Washington about 1907, where his father worked in a shingle mill as the lumber industry was booming in Whatcom County.

  • Professional Career

    In the 1920 US Census Ralph, aged 24, was working as a laborer in a shingle mill. Throughout his life, Ralph had various business interests. He transported cattle from California up to Washington and tried farming in Vale, Oregon. In 1925, Ralph was working for the Equitable Life Insurance Co. in Bellingham, WA. He worked at Equitable as a salesman until 1930, where he is listed as a representative for the Manufacturers Life Insurance Company.

  • Personal Life & Family

    On 24 Dec 1924 in South Bend, Pacific Co., Washington, Ralph married Thelma Marguerite Ferguson. Ralphs younger brother, Bryan, had married Thelma's older sister 'Wea' several years earlier.

In the early 1960's I had my first 'fishing' trip with my dad, Frank Kroetch, and our Uncle Ralph, in the Nooksack River in Whatcom Co., WA.
I thought standing in the river for hours, waiting for a fish to bite, was great fun...until, Uncle Ralph caught a fish. After he reeled in it, he started hitting it on the head with a tree limb that was lying on the ground. I was shocked. My dad explained that it was better to kill the fish than to let it suffocate, but I was horrified. I rarely eat fish to this day. Uncle Ralph felt badly that he had upset me, he was a kind soul.

Ralph also had a brother Bryan Greenough. Ralph married (my aunt)Thelma Ferguson and Bryan married her sister (also my aunt) Wea Greenough. Does that show in your family tree?
