So, where to begin? We are the Johannes Gutke family. Many of us live in Utah, a big bunch hailing from Smithfield and another branch with their roots in Salt Lake. Another bunch located in McCammon, Idaho and we probably still have cousins there, too. I know there must be relatives in Sweden, since Johannes Gutke had at least one grown child (Carl Johan) who did not come to the U.S. with the rest of the family in 1879.
Growing up, I understood that the Gutke name is of Germanic origin - "gut" means good and "ke" means little. I always thought that was cool - my name means "Good Little Deniane!" But I have also seen the translation more like "goodies"... as in a cracker or a treat, or a .... cookie. I know there is at least one Gutke mother out there who at one time of her life has been known as "Mrs. Cookie" or "Grandma Cookie"... so it fits.
Which leads me to explain that there are different pronunciations of the name, mainly in how people pronounce the sound of the letter "u".
Some say "GUT" key ... as in "gut feeling" or "I love your guts."
Others it's more "Goo"ey... As in shoe. Goo. "Goot key." I grew up with this one.
My great aunt Norma pronounced it "good." "Good key." She was 91 when she passed away, hence her qualification for the most likely original pronunciation. :)
And about the "ke." I learned a small amount of German in high school to know that rather than "key," it's pronounced more like "kuh." So, I guess it makes sense that when Johannes' son Anders (Andrew) F. Gutke came on the ship Wisconsin to Utah in the late 1800's (Fred is the son I come through, by the way), the ship manifest listed his surname as "Gupka." Goop. Kuh. The person taking their names spelled them phonetically as they said them, so that's the way he must have said it.
Lately, I'm trying to go somewhere in the middle with the "goo" and "good"... but the "gut" pronunciation is definitely "out " for me. And so is the pronunciation "gewkie" (without the T). Which reminds me of a funny family story.
One day in the mid-1980's, my mom got a phone call; when she answered the phone, an unidentified cheerful lady said, "Hi, this is so and so..." and then went into a long discussion of whatever she wanted to talk about.
The only problem was, the unidentified cheerful lady had the wrong number. She wasn't talking to whomever she thought she was talking to, and Mom, who didn't want her to go on and on forever without realizing this, cut in politely when she had the chance. "Do you know you have the Gutke's?" she said.
There was a horrified silence on the other end. "I have the WHAT?" she finally managed. She must have thought "gewkies" was a condition of some kind; maybe even a disease. (And then I think she hung up.)
Well, being a Gutke probably means we do have some kind of a condition, at least traits that we all share and love of common ancestors. I tend to think our positive traits are tenacity, hard work, and a sense of humor. Aunt Norma says stubbornness (rather than tenacity) is definitely a Gutke trait, and impatience, (if we are judging by her Dad, Carl.)
I hope you enjoy the website with the information I am gathering to connect us all together.

Johan Magnus Gutke short history
The following life story was contributed by Helen Pirtle, a descendant of Johannes Gutke through his granddaughter Amanda Eliza.
John Magnus Gutke
(by Amanda Eliza Gutke, his daughter)
My father, John Magnus Gutke, was born November 1, 1851 in Minkedohl Foss, Bohus, Sweden. He was the second child of the second wife and he was four years old when his mother died. When he was six years old he left Munkedohl with his father, his step mother, three half sisters, and two half brothers, for Rodonefors, an iron manufacturing place.
He was blessed and christened in the Lutheran Church. He was a young man, 28 years of age when he heard an elder preach the gospel. He went to their meetings and was converted. Elder Christen H. Monson of Richmond, Utah was one of the elders who converted him. He was baptized by Elder Monson. Charles Anderson, a Utahan confirmed him.
With the above named family, they sailed on the ship "Wisconsin", leaving Liverpool July 10, 1880. Arrival in New York was July 21, 1880. They continued their journey by rail under the leadership of Captain Niels P. Rasmussen, arriving in Salt Lake July 29, 1880.
While still in Sweden an elder told John he knew of a nice girl in Norway and he gave John her address. They corresponded until he went to Utah, then he sent for her to come to Utah. They had never seen each other, but she came. Father met her and they were married August 18, 1881 in the Endowment House in Salt Lake City by Daniel H. Wells.
John had learned the trade of blacksmith from his father so they went to Logan. Their first three children, Amanda, Edwin, and Joseph were born there. Then he got a new job in the railroad shops in Idaho Falls, then called Eagle Rock. Here they lived 2 or 3 years.
One day the wind blew so hard and the dust was so thick, one could hardly see any distance away. When the wind was over they could see the Round House had blown down. Everyone was out in the streets screaming for their loved ones. This discouraged some of the men.
The climate was very cold. The wind blew so hard. They had to buy water from a man who had it in barrels who got it from the Snake River. It would soon get stale and the dust blew on everything including it.
During this time John learned the English language as he was working with men who spoke it, but Anna Elise didn't get a chance to learn it so fast being in the home and not in public. So discouraged, they moved back to Smithfield. Now their children numbered four as William was born in Idaho Falls.
In Smithfield they build a one-room home. A blacksmith shop was built on the north east side of the lot. Life was hard. John worked some time in Pocatello in the Round House there. He finally decided to do blacksmithing on his own. He was a good machinist and mechanic. Anything he did was well done.
Eight of their children were born in Smithfield: Linda, the twins, Sylvester and Sylvenus, Anna, Herbert, Olga, Elva, and Hilda. With this increased family, two more rooms down stairs and two upstairs were added on. They got a cow, pig, and some chickens. They had an acre of ground on which he raised some hay and spuds.
The big flour bin which he built was never empty although the family was so poor in other things like sharing each other's shoes. No washer, no linoleum or other things to make life comfortable. All buckets and utensils he soldered.
During Cleveland's day the depression hit. John worked and had to take in commodities for pay. All the money he received in one year was $90.00. He was handy and ambition, but many people didn't pay or wanted to pay their bills.
With his growing family he decided he needed a farm for his boys as he had six of them. Their next move then was to Shelley, Idaho. He had never done any farming but he proved to be a successful one. It took a lot of hard work. While building his home they stayed with their daughter and son-in-law, Amanda and Lewis. Then John built his blacksmith shop so he had his trade with him. All his debts on the place were paid before they were due.
He was an honest man. Never received charity from anyone but was willing to help those in need. They were interested in genealogy so gave money for research. They also did temple work having to go to Utah to do so. John was well versed in the Bible, having studied it in school in Sweden. Family prayers and blessings on the food were always had.
In their older years they sold their home to their son, Will, and in turn bought his which they remodeled. Now they could be in town where they could walk to everything as they never owned a car. They spend several winters in California.
John met his death in a car pedestrian accident. It was dark and windy when he crossed main street in Shelley to go home. He held his head down to keep his hat on so he walked in front of a coming car. The accident proved fatal as he died in the Idaho Falls hospital that night, October 27, 1934, age 83. His funeral was held in the Second Ward church and he was buried in the Shelley cemetery.

Obituary: Laurel Nichol Gutke
Laurel Nichol Gutke "Grandma Cookie" Laurel Nichol Gutke died unto the Lord on a beautiful summer evening on Sept 7th, 2006. She had been waiting for the day that Harold would come and say, as he often did in life, "Come on Laurel, let's go home". He finally came. Laurel was born January 12, 1912 to James R.

She turned this trial into her greatest strength as she took on the task of raising three of her nephews and a niece and her own child through the miracle of adoption. Laurel was able to bless the lives of her brothers by providing life long child care during difficult times in their lives. The lives of Jack, Irene, Robert, Ross and Hal were enriched with the love and care she provided them till the end of her life. She was employed for 30 years at First Security Bank. She was an active LDS member and worked at the Jordan River Temple.

Oscar Gutke and Mary Matilda Tillie
I was working on family history today and I am a little confused on something that came up. According to Family Search....
1893 - Mary Matilda (Tillie) married William Henry Olsen 18 Jan 1893 in Terrace, Box Elder, Utah.
1893 - Gladys Lucille Olsen is listed as being born 27 May 1893 in Oakland, CA. (But parents listed on Family Search are Mary Matilda Henderson and Oscar Julius Gutke).
1893 - Oscar Julius Gutke married Rhoda Ann Player 8 Mar 1893 in Smithfield, Cache, Utah
1894 - Rhoda Ann Player died 31 Dec 1894 in Ogden, Weber, Utah.
1894 - Marie Hazel Gutke born 11 May 1894 in Ogden, Weber, Utah.
1895 - Gladys Lucille Olsen died 27 June 1895.
1899 - Mary Matilda (Tillie) married Oscar Julius Gutke 17 April 1899 in Ogden, Weber, Utah, United States.
1900 - John Edgar born 6 June 1900 in Ogden, Weber, Utah.
1903 - Doris Gertrude Gutke born 28 August 1903 in Ogden, Weber, Utah.
1905 - Charles Herbert born 1 May 1905 in Ogden, Weber, Utah.
1908 - Alan Lovey born 3 April 1908 in Ogden, Weber, Utah.
1918 - Son John Edgar dies 20 November 1918.
1922 - Gladys Lucille Olsen sealed to Mary Matilda Henderson and Oscar Julius Gutke 20 September 1922.
So, this is what I got from these records. Tillie was married before to a William Henry Olsen, and they had a daughter Gladys Lucille Olsen. This daughter was sealed to Tillie and Oscar rather than sealed to her biological father on 20 September 1922. (Oscar was sealed to both Rhoda Ann and Tillie that day, and all the other kids were sealed to Oscar and their respective mothers the same day according to records on Family Search.)
What about William Henry Olsen? There is a William Henery Olsen born in 1879 and married to Josephine Farr on 15 July 1903 in Ogden, Weber, Utah. Wonder if it's the same person. No death date mentioned but on 30 October 1942 Josephine Farr married Nels Benjamin Lundwall. She died in 1960.
1893 - Mary Matilda (Tillie) married William Henry Olsen 18 Jan 1893 in Terrace, Box Elder, Utah.
1893 - Gladys Lucille Olsen is listed as being born 27 May 1893 in Oakland, CA. (But parents listed on Family Search are Mary Matilda Henderson and Oscar Julius Gutke).
1893 - Oscar Julius Gutke married Rhoda Ann Player 8 Mar 1893 in Smithfield, Cache, Utah
1894 - Rhoda Ann Player died 31 Dec 1894 in Ogden, Weber, Utah.
1894 - Marie Hazel Gutke born 11 May 1894 in Ogden, Weber, Utah.
1895 - Gladys Lucille Olsen died 27 June 1895.
1899 - Mary Matilda (Tillie) married Oscar Julius Gutke 17 April 1899 in Ogden, Weber, Utah, United States.
1900 - John Edgar born 6 June 1900 in Ogden, Weber, Utah.
1903 - Doris Gertrude Gutke born 28 August 1903 in Ogden, Weber, Utah.
1905 - Charles Herbert born 1 May 1905 in Ogden, Weber, Utah.
1908 - Alan Lovey born 3 April 1908 in Ogden, Weber, Utah.
1918 - Son John Edgar dies 20 November 1918.
1922 - Gladys Lucille Olsen sealed to Mary Matilda Henderson and Oscar Julius Gutke 20 September 1922.
So, this is what I got from these records. Tillie was married before to a William Henry Olsen, and they had a daughter Gladys Lucille Olsen. This daughter was sealed to Tillie and Oscar rather than sealed to her biological father on 20 September 1922. (Oscar was sealed to both Rhoda Ann and Tillie that day, and all the other kids were sealed to Oscar and their respective mothers the same day according to records on Family Search.)

I'm so excited! Pictures!
Here is a link to pictures of Johannes and Johanna Gutke and family and also documents/photos relating to Oscar Gutke and his daughter Marie Gutke Sheranian. Thanks, KaRynn, for scanning and posting these to your website and sharing with everyone. It's better than CHRISTMAS at my house today!
