Dolph Andrus and Irene worked together to write this portion of their history which describes the adventures their family experienced during their short stay in Bluff from 1915-1918. In 1918, Andrus’s family left Bluff and moved to Cedar City. Dolph Andrus eventually became a licensed architect and spent stints in Salt Lake City, New York, Los Angeles, and Sunland, California. On February 8, 1981, Dolph Andrus passed away in Salt Lake City, just six weeks after Irene’s death.
