Trail Marker Trail Marker PIONEERING YESTERDAY, TODAY AND TOMORROW Official Newsletter of the National Society of the Sons of Utah Pioneers™ August 2016, Volume 12, Number 8, Issue 132 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Contents President’s Message 1 Membership Report 3 National Calander 3 This Is the Place report 4 24th Parade report 5 National News 7 Announcements 8 Chapter Services 9 Chapter News Box Elder Chapter 10 Cotton Mission Chapter 11 Grove City Chapter 11 Holladay Chapter 12 Hurricane Valley Chapter 13 Scholarship programs and teaching youth pioneer qualities Mesa Chapter 13 of character: Several years ago, as chapter president, I was Mills Chapter 14 privileged to attend our local high school awards assembly and Morgan Chapter 15 present a scholarship from my SUP Chapter to a graduating Red Rock Chapter 15 senior. Following the assembly I spent some time with the Settlement Canyon Chapter 16 recipient and was thrilled to learn that the scholarship award Taylorsville/Bennion Chapter 17 was a key element that enabled this very bright young woman Timpanogos Chapter 18 to continue her education at a State university. My adult life SUP Markers 19 has been spent in higher education and I place a very high value SUP 2016 Convention 20 on helping to open doors of opportunity that might otherwise be closed for our youth. The events of that night made me feel Trail Marker Staff proud to be a member of the Morgan Pioneer Chapter of the Editor Sons of Utah Pioneers. And yet, as I thought about the evening Don H Lee [email protected] it occurred to me that we might have missed an additional Chapter News Editor opportunity. Our SUP Mission statement commits us to teach Roland Lee the values and qualities of character of our pioneer ancestors to [email protected] today’s youth. As deeply rewarding as it had been to present that scholarship and as appreciative as the student and her parents were, I could not see that any pioneer quality of character had been taught in the process. Did we miss an opportunity there to teach the candidates for the award something about pioneers and pioneering? For example, In pursuit of teaching our youth, many chapters sponsor Essay Contests in elementary or middle schools for the best original essay of a pioneer, preferably, but not necessarily, of their own lineage, who helped explore or settle a new area. As a result of these essay programs literally hundreds of students participate, resulting in conversations about pioneering attributes in the homes of those students. The goals of the essay projects are the involvement of youth in learning of pioneer qualities of character. Mission accomplished. The variety of scholarship programs in our SUP is an impressive strength of our Society. One of our largest programs conducts personal interviews with each recipient, I assume, in part at least, to teach pioneering qualities of character to the applicant or recipient one on one. Others may require a brief essay from the applicant in order to become a candidate for the scholarship. Whatever the variety of scholarship program your chapter might offer, the connectedness of the award to teaching youth who we are and what we stand for is consistent with our Mission. Sons of Utah Pioneers Monuments: So, what's the big deal about our over 400 monuments scattered across Utah and the West? They just sit there, don't even make noise. Why do we even bother? The maintenance and preservation is such a headache. But wait! Last Monday during our SUP Day at This Is The Place Park I watched as folks entered and paused at the SUP "Eyes Westward" monument near the entrance to read the story of the monument. What I was witnessing was behavior that reflected fulfillment of our very reason for existence as a Society! It represented scores, even hundreds of times that travelers stop, especially during the vacation seasons, to look at and read the inscriptions on the monuments they encounter. Clearly, this is one of the most effective tools we have to project the message of our pioneer ancestors. Yes, they are worth all the restoration and maintenance they might require. It is what we do as Sons of Utah Pioneers when we are at our best! "Days of '47" report: The SUP Day at This is The Place Park: In spite of a smaller attendance all venues were operating and the new Tee Pee program was the hit everyone predicted. At the Devotional, Sister Kathy Ann Kipp Clayton and Elder L. Whitney Clayton of the Seventy provided inspirational remarks that will be long remembered by everyone in attendance. Plans are already underway for exciting changes for next year. Stay tuned! The Sunrise Service: This was flawless with Randall Mackey, Chair of the event and Ramon Johnson, Salt Lake Pioneer Chapter President, looking like the dynamic duo that they are. Elder LeGrand R. Curtis, Jr. of the Seventy delivered a memorable address that featured his own pioneer heritage. Days of '47 Parade: Eleven handcarts and 30 parade marchers comprised of SUP members and families, was an impressive sight indeed. As just the third entry at the beginning of the parade it was an impressive reminder of why we celebrate our pioneer ancestors. Be assured, our Society of The Sons of Utah Pioneers was well represented. (See photos covering these events elsewhere in this issue of the Trail Marker.) James C.

  • Rockport Utah a Brief History and Photographs of Homes
    ROCKPORT UTAH A BRIEF HISTORY AND PHOTOGRAPHS OF HOMES Edited and Compiled by Thomas E. Brown FORWARD Several years ago I was asked to speak at sacrament meeting program in the Peoa Ward. The Peoa members of the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers had planned the program and I was asked to speak about the pioneers in the valley. Since no one specifically asked me to speak about Peoa, I focused my remarks on my hometown of Rockport. Days were spent researching the subject. Books and documents in my possession provided a base, but additional information was needed. Much time was spent at the Church Historical Department reviewing documents and soon enough information had been collected to fill the assignment. After the meeting, several friends asked for copies of the talk. The information was not typed and it needed to be put together better. All this time I had a set of wonderful photographs showing the homes in Rockport taken by Florence Siddoway Walsh Hunter years before. The photos had been shown to friends who said they would like copies. Because of the interest in both the talk and the photos, I decided to get the history typed and the photos enlarged and labeled so they could be put together in some printed form. There may be misspelled names, wrong dates, incorrect information, omissions and a host of other problems with this document. Some problems may have existed in the materials I used and some may be of my own making. This is not a complete history in any sense of the word, but I hope you find some enjoyment and satisfaction in reviewing the history and the photos just as I have.

  • A History of Morgan County, Utah Centennial County History Series
    610 square miles, more than 90 percent of which is privately owned. Situated within the Wasatch Mountains, its boundaries defined by mountain ridges, Morgan Countyhas been celebrated for its alpine setting. Weber Can- yon and the Weber River traverse the fertile Morgan Valley; and it was the lush vegetation of the pristine valley that prompted the first white settlers in 1855 to carve a road to it through Devils Gate in lower Weber Canyon. Morgan has a rich historical legacy. It has served as a corridor in the West, used by both Native Americans and early trappers. Indian tribes often camped in the valley, even long after it was settled by Mormon pioneers. The southern part of the county was part of the famed Hastings Cutoff, made notorious by the Donner party but also used by Mormon pioneers, Johnston's Army, California gold seekers, and other early travelers. Morgan is still part of main routes of traffic, including the railroad and utility lines that provide service throughout the West. Long known as an agricultural county, the area now also serves residents who commute to employment in Wasatch Front cities.

    Trail Marker PIONEERING YESTERDAY, TODAY AND TOMORROW Official Newsletter of the National Society of the Sons of Utah Pioneers™ July 2012, Volume 8, Number 7 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE It’s the Fourth of July week. Many flags are beginning to be flown and displayed. What better way is there to brighten our beautiful landscape? And singing the National Anthem in a church meeting really enlivens the spirit of the season. The Fourth of July brings back the memory when I was a lucky lad because I had five cents to spend on the holiday. The entire season takes on a grander meaning of home and family. Families assemble to participate in the grandeur of allegiance, homage to country, freedom, respect, taking care of others, broadening our family circles, and yes, spending a few precious minutes in silence as we ponder the aspect of giving all of oneself to a glorious land of freedom and self-reliance. Now comes the parade when we find in the deeper memory the phrases, “Hats off, the flag is passing by”, and “look at that huge band” as they marched by, in step with the bass drummer. It’s the Fourth of July! Soon to come are the hints of darkness. Soon the noisy and boisterous sounds of celebration are diminished, then finally erupting into the squeals of delight at the splendor of firework displays. But wait! Hold on, remember the fires, flames leaping skyward in their reach to catch & destroy. We cheered as we recognized our firemen as they respond to the threats of wildly, grasping flames.

    Trail Marker PIONEERING YESTERDAY, TODAY AND TOMORROW Official Newsletter of the National Society of the Sons of Utah Pioneers™ February 2011, Volume 7, Number 2 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Doctrine of Pioneer Covenant Making, Part I For most of my life I have pondered on why the Lord sent an early snow storm which trapped the Martin & Willie handcart companies in the mountains-- and why such a devastating one, when He could have just as easily sent good weather with God speed. I asked myself other questions. Why were they called upon to go through such great suffering? And why then, is that not required of me, even if it is to each his own? Well, of course there are multiple answers to each of these questions, and each with eternal purposes. Then just last year I was re-studying The Lectures on Faith again and discovered my most important answer in the last two lectures, 6 & 7. The Prophet Joseph taught that the sacrifices, suffering and affliction the pioneering saints were called upon to offer up was actually covenant making. Thus, it all was part of a covenant ordinance-- another ordinance in fulfilling the law and covenant of consecrating everything we have, our all, even including our lives, to the Lord. Not just be willing to give our all, including our lives, but to actually do it-- whether in life or death our life is required of us. But it was through SUP that I came to more fully understand that pioneering is covenant making, in accordance to the laws of sacrifice and consecration.

    A HISTORY OF Sevier County iitij , w jEEEfc -.; IK blMjUH K 1 114 it i; ;:•.... M. Guy Bishop UTAH CENTENNIAL COUNTY HISTORY SERIES A HISTORY OF Sevier County M. Guy Bishop Sevier County was first settled by Mormon pioneers in the mid-1850s, as farming settle­ ments were established along the Sevier River Valley to accommodate the increasing num­ bers of immigrants to Utah. The fledgling settlements were soon abandoned, however, in the mid-1860s as a result of the Black Hawk Indian War, in which many county residents lost their lives. Native Americans had lived in the area for thousands of years and fought aggressively to keep this harsh but rich land as white settlement increasingly disrupted their traditional ways of life. After peace was reestablished, white settle­ ment efforts were renewed and expanded, with many towns growing throughout the county, especially in the Sevier River Valley. Richfield was soon established as the county seat and became a major commercial center for central Utah, as it remains to the present day. Agricultural activities of farming and livestock raising have been supplemented by some manufacturing and industrial growth through the decades, with recreational land use and tourism becoming increasingly im­ portant economically. Sevier County, with its central location and growing population, remains a vital part of Utah's economic, trans­ portation, and communication networks.
