In the spring of 1935, Arvilla Wootton Ritchie and Horace J Ritchie traveled from Heber City to Salt Lake City, Utah for Arvilla to give birth to their son. J Bonner Ritchie was born on May 16, 1935. Bonner spent his early years in Heber where he excelled in school. He received much encouragement from his academic mother and former-teacher grandmother Ida Bonner Wootton (or M’Ida as he lovingly called her). M’Ida lived with his family and doted on him for his entire childhood. He had fond memories of the mountain valley of Wasatch County and listened to many stories from his relatives about the family’s history in the valley.
