    A HISTORY OF 'Duchesne County r>* '••'""•"•• l'j •:%*'•:•• John D. Barton UTAH CENTENNIAL COUNTY HISTORY SERIES A HISTORY OF (Duchesne County John D. Barton Duchesne County, in the Uinta Basin of northeastern Utah, was opened for home- steading in 1905, the last region in the state settled by Euro-Americans, and among the last settled areas in the continental United States. Its history is a microcosm of that of the West, featuring various groups of Native Americans, Spanish explorers, fur trappers, outlaws, cowboys, miners, and freighters. It was made part of the Uintah Ute Indian Reservation in 1861. Later, it was opened to homesteading, resulting in a land rush. County residents lived a pioneering lifestyle well into the twentieth century as they home- steaded the land and built communities. In more recent times, the county has faced booms and busts based on extractive economies, large government water projects, environ­ mental problems, and conflict between tradi­ tional and contemporary ideas about land use. In recent years, the Ute Tribe has claimed jurisdiction over the land, resulting in legal battles all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. Located on the south slope of the Uinta Mountains, Duchesne County contains many spectacular natural resources, including the highest point in the state—Kings Peak—and is loved by thousands of outdoor enthusiasts and county residents.

  • Donna B. Collett History, 2002
    The Life History of Donna B. Williams Collett I was born on November 9, 1926, in Vernal, Utah, at my Grandpa and Grandma William’s house, and they lived up on the curve going to Maeser at 500 North between 700 and 800 West. Mrs. Pack was the nurse and came and helped with my birth. I was tiny and the first to be born in our family of six children. Everyone was so excited, because I was the first grandchild born on both sides of my grandparents, and so it was a real special event for both the Williams and Belcher families! The “B” in my name, Donna B. Williams, stands for “Belcher.” My mother, Hilda Ardis Belcher, was 23 years old at the time of my birth, and my father, Roland Hana Williams, farmed and was 28 years old. They had animals and gardens and farmed, while moving to several different places while I was young, and they did the things they needed to do for us to exist. One of the first places we lived in Vernal was by the current golf course near the McNeil’s. We also lived at the Cabel Ranch, east of Vernal in a big brick house, where Uncle Warren and Aunt Daisy Belcher lived upstairs. It was a big ranch and had a large two-story house that we lived in. Uncle Woody came out once to help us on the farm in Vernal and Daddy’s sister’s boy, _________________________, came to help one summer also. As a very young child, my responsibility was to gather the eggs and help my dad on the farm.

  • Mormon Marriage: “Between a Man and a Woman” for the Living — Polygamy for the Dead
    Mormon marriage: “Between a man and a woman” for the living — polygamy for the dead By Helen Radkey October 1, 2013 Mormon marriage hypocrisy The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints publicly condemned the U.S. Supreme Court‟s decisions that bolster same-sex marriages in California. In a statement issued within hours of the Supreme Court‟s affirmative rulings on June 26, 2013, a Church spokesperson criticized the judicial system, and reaffirmed the LDS Church‟s commitment “to strengthening traditional marriage between a man and a woman.” As Hawaii is poised to consider a marriage equality bill, the LDS Church, which has a large presence in Hawaii, has again entered the fight on the same-sex marriage issue. In a letter dated September 15, 2013, LDS leaders across the state are encouraging Hawaiian Mormons to study the proposed legislation, and then as private citizens contact their elected representatives in the Hawaii legislature to express their views. The letter tells Church members to review Church publications on the topic, including “The Family: A Proclamation to the World,” a document that endorses one man/one woman as the ideal for marriage: http://www.mormonnewsroom.org/article/proclamation-on-the-family . While the public face of the LDS Church opposes same-sex unions and proclaims marriage between one man and one woman, inside costly Mormon temples—and well away from public scrutiny—the private face of the LDS Church backs polygamy to the hilt with ceremonial gusto. Along with the heavy volume of monogamous, male-female marriage rites for the living and the dead, polygamous rites by proxy—for both deceased men and women, but mainly for men—are routinely executed in Mormon temples.
