Missionary Journal of Timothy Bowen Davis MISSIONARY JOURNAL OF TIMOTHY BOWEN DAVIS WALES 21 FEBRUARY 1888 THROUGH 12 MAY 1890 Creator’s Version Transcription by Elease Williams King, Dedication I was allowed to participate in baptisms for the dead in the Logan Temple a few days after my baptism. My Dad was working in the font that day; my mother, Hazel, brought me to the temple. Before we left Logan to go home, she stopped at a small, wooden, dilapidated building. It was across the road from the U&N Railroad Depot. She reverently told me that when she was small, her family lived there with a store in their home and that it had looked much nicer. She told me that besides grocery and other products, her mother, Charlotte, made sandwiches to sell. Mama said that because she was small, she stood on a wooden box to get things off the shelves for people. When a train was expected, they filled large baskets with sandwiches and put them in front of the store. As each train arrived, the passengers came to the store and bought all of the food that Charlotte and the family could make. When the circus train arrived, Hazel watched the workers feed and water the animals; the elephants were watered in a ditch near the store. When she was seven, her father, Timothy, died and they had moved away. She said that he was the kindest man she knew. Her reverent love for her parents touched me and my heart was turned to them. I wanted to know everything I could about these people and others like them. She continued telling me stories until she died, when I was age 16. Left: Timothy B. Davis, Charlotte Hayball Davis and Hazel Hayball Davis circa 1912 Left: Eber Hayball Davis and Timothy B. Davis circa 1914 Logan, Cache, Utah, USA.

Richards, at Salt Lake City, Saturday February 25, 1888. Brother Davis; Having authority given unto me of the Lord Jesus Christ, I bless you and set you apart to go upon a mission to the land of Wales, in Great Britain, and bless you that you shall go in safety and in prosperity, and that no harm may befall you as you go by the way, but that you may continually lay up treasures of Knowledge, and experience and observation, and feel your Spirit enriched by all the experience of God’s providence unto you. And, I say unto you, receive the spirit of this work, dear brother, Pray to the Lord with mighty faith until His Holy Spirit and the power of it, and the testimony of Jesus fills your whole soul, till you are full of light, and life, and salvation, and blessing, to bestow upon the people in the land to which you are sent. And inasmuch as you seek this with fasting and humiliation and prayer, God will make you mighty and useful and instrumental to bring many souls unto the knowledge of the truth and into His Kingdom, and the Saints shall follow you; and furthermore, go trusting in Him and enquire for them that are worthy of eternal life, and you shall know them, for they will feed you and clothe you and give you money where you need, to assist you on your way, and thereby you shall know that they are the Lord’s disciples and His children, because of their doing this; and thereby you shall prove the people of those countries and lands, whether they are worthy of the words of eternal life, therefore, dear brother, seek for the Spirit of the Lord, hearken to its inspiration, and keep His commandments and the covenants you have made, and the words of wisdom, and all words of life and truth and faith, and such as you may get out of the best books, treasure them and He will make you to be a scribe, well-instructed, to bring forth out of the treasures of your heart things new and old. We dedicate you to this work, dear brother, and pray that you may prevail with the Lord, and bring down blessings upon your fellow men, administer salvation to many souls that shall rejoice with you in the eternal Kingdom of our Father. And these with all former blessings that have been confirmed upon you, and that you may return with safety, rejoicing, thanksgiving, and praise, we confirm and seal upon you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and by the authority of the Holy Priesthood, Amen //. 5 Transcription Considerations 1. Size and Pagination. The page size of the Journal is about 7 ½ inches wide by about 9 ½ inches long. 2. Paragraphs and sentences. Nineteenth-century writers tended to use fewer paragraph breaks and much longer sentences. Elder Davis continued each new day on the same line that the previous day had ended. To facilitate reading, each new day’s heading has been moved to a new line and underlined; months and years are occasionally added. Other than this, with a few exceptions, the writing is transcribed exactly as written. 3. Brackets [ ]. Any undecipherable letter or any comment for clarity by the transcriptionist is enclosed in brackets. To reassure the reader, [sic] is used to indicate that the previous word / words have been transcribed exactly as written. 4. Language considerations. Elder Davis began to learn English at the age of 20 and uses phonetics most of the time. In some cases, if the readers sounds his English words, you can hear his beautiful Welsh accent as he adds a syllable. Told becomes “toald.” Pie becomes “paie” and etc. Occasionally, he puts a Welsh suffix or prefix in an English word. He occasionally learns the spelling of an English word as he goes along and then goes back to the misspelling. He did not learn English grammar, but gratefully, he did not allow his inadequacies to keep him from sharing his experiences. Spell check had to be disabled for this document. 5. Punctuation. In this Creator’s Version of the Journal, an attempt was made to keep punctuation and capitalization exactly as Elder Davis wrote it. 6. Proper names. The spelling is preserved as written on all proper names, though it may be repeated on another line, with a variant spelling. 7. Place names. Elder Davis used various spellings for the same place name. The Welsh place names were the greatest challenge in this work. In the most difficult cases, assistance was received from retired BYU Professor Ron Dennis, but if an astute Welsh reader sees an error, compared to the original, it is the responsibility

  • Dyfed Invertebrate Group Has Received Amongst Entomologists Nationwide and There Are Now Almost One Hundred Subscribers to the Newsletter
    DYFED INVERTEBRATE GROUP NEWSLETTER N°. 2 June 1986 We have been gratified by the reception that the formation of the Dyfed Invertebrate Group has received amongst entomologists nationwide and there are now almost one hundred subscribers to the Newsletter. This is a sound base upon which to establish our contribution to invertebrate conservation in west Wales and the specialists involved cover a very wide range of groups. With the summer now upon us (or so I'm reliably informed) the impetus should be there for us all to get out 'in the field' and add to our knowledge of the distribution and ecological requirements of the county fauna. Do remember to send in your records to the relevant county recorders and keep us informed of any interesting observations. The Newsletter is here to ensure that significant records and accounts of methodical surveys find their way in to print. We would welcome more feed-back from subscribers, both in the form of articles for the Newsletter and suggestions for the improvement of DIG - do drop us a line from time to time and tell us how your invertebrate work is progressing. Which brings me to the thorny problem of subscriptions! The DIG Newsletter is produced entirely through the kindness of NCC Dyfed-Powys in allowing us access to secretarial and photo-copying facilities. However, we would appreciate assistance with postage and hence the subscription for 1986 will be four First Class Stamps. Please send your 'subscription' to the Editor during the course of the summer. We regret that the September issue of the Newsletter will not be sent to members who have not forwarded their subscription in time.

  • Dyfed Final Recommendations News Release
    NEWS RELEASE Issued by the Telephone 02920 395031 Boundary Commission for Wales Caradog House Fax 02920 395250 1-6 St Andrews Place Cardiff CF10 3BE Date 25 August 2004 FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUENCIES IN THE PRESERVED COUNTY OF DYFED The Commission propose to make no change to their provisional recommendations for five constituencies in the preserved county of Dyfed. 1. Provisional recommendations in respect of Dyfed were published on 5 January 2004. The Commission received eleven representations, five of which were in support of their provisional recommendations. Three of the representations objected to the inclusion of the whole of the Cynwyl Elfed electoral division within the Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire constituency, one objected to the name of the Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire constituency and one suggested the existing arrangements for the area be retained. 2. The Commission noted that, having received no representation of the kind mentioned in section 6 (2) of the Parliamentary Constituencies Act 1986, there was no statutory requirement to hold a local inquiry. The Commission further decided that in all the circumstances they would not exercise their discretion under section 6 (1) to hold an inquiry. Final recommendations 3. The main objection to the provisional recommendations was in respect of the inclusion of the Cynwyl Elfed electoral division in the Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire constituency. It was argued that the division should be included in Carmarthen East and Dinefwr on the grounds that the majority of the electorate in the division fell within that constituency and that inclusion in Carmarthen East and Dinefwr rather than Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire would reduce the disparity between the electorates of the two constituencies and would bring them closer to the electoral quota.
