  • Placing the Cardston Temple in Early Mormon Temple Architectural History
    PLACING THE CARDSTON TEMPLE IN EARLY MORMON TEMPLE ARCHITECTURAL HISTORY By Amanda Buessecker A Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Master of Arts Degree in Art History Carleton University May 2020 Supervisor: Peter Coffman, Ph.D. Carleton University ii Abstract: The Cardston temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints represents a drastic shift in temple architecture of the early Mormon faith. The modern granite structure was designed not to show a mere difference of aesthetic taste, but as an embodiment of the evolving relationship between the Mormon pioneers and the American government. Earlier temples, erected in the nineteenth century throughout the valleys of Utah, were constructed by Mormon pioneers at a time when the religious group desired to separate themselves from the United States physically, politically, and architecturally. When the temple was built in Cardston, Alberta (1913-1923), it was a radical departure from its medievalist predecessors in Utah. The selected proposal was a modern Prairie-school style building, a manifestation of Utah’s recent interest in integrating into American society shortly after being admitted to the Union as a state in 1896. iii Contents Introduction ................................................................................................................................ 1 Part I: A Literature Review ........................................................................................................ 5 A Background for Semiotics .................................................................................................

  • About the Artist
    ABOUT THE ARTIST LeConte Stewart was born 15 April 1891 in Glenwood, Utah. After school- ing at Ricks Academy in Rexburg, Idaho, he studied art in Salt Lake City in 1912, and with the Art Students League in Woodstock, New York, and New York City in 1913-14. While on a mission in Hawaii in 1917-19, he was assigned to paint murals and decorative detail for the temple in Laie. He married Zipporah Layton while in Hawaii, and taught school and proselyted as well. In 1920-22, he painted murals in the Cardston Alberta temple, and returned to settle in Kaysville, Utah, in 1923. He was head of the Ogden High School art department from 1923-38, and from 1938-56 was chairman of the University of Utah Art Department. Stewart taught in elementary schools, high schools, and at the University of Utah, and after retiring in 1956 continued to teach, both with the Univer- sity and privately in Davis County. His on-site landscape painting classes con- tinued through the mid-1980s, and he worked actively in painting and draw- ing the landscapes of rural northern Utah to the age of ninety-five. Stewart's failing health has recently forced him to retire from painting, and at present he resides in a health care center in Clearfield, Utah. In an essay accompanying a 1985 retrospective exhibit at the Museum of Church History and Art in Salt Lake City (published in LeConte Stewart: The Spirit of Landscape, Salt Lake City: Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- day Saints, 1985), Robert O.

Elder Woodruff and Brother Benbow traveled to the Herefordshire area to teach William’s brother, John, and his family. The Benbow brothers then invited the neighbors to join them in hearing what the missionary had to say. As a result, 13 people were baptized in this pond on the Benbow farm. They also introduced Elder Woodruff to their former congrega- tion: over 600 people who had formed their own church, the United Brethren. All but one was eventually baptized.

The previous summer, Allied Armies, under Dwight D. Eisenhower, landed in Normandy and began driving toward the Fatherland. The Red Army had been pushing west toward Berlin since its victory over the final German offensive at the Battle of Kursk in August 1943. On April 30, Hitler committed suicide in his bunker, and Germany surrendered seven days later. War continued on the other side of the globe.

  • It Is Thy House, a Place of Holiness”
    “It Is Thy House, a Place of Holiness” Elaine L. Jack Wife, mother; former general president of the Relief Society; recently released as matron of the Cardston Alberta Temple. © 2001 Elaine L. Jack. All rights reserved. I was born of goodly parents, and grandparents, in the shadow of the temple in Cardston, Alberta, Canada. Because the temple was so much a part of our community it is only in retrospect that I've realized how pervasive its influence was. In our small, predominately Latter-day Saint town, people worked hard to survive in their business in town or on the surrounding farms and ranches. No one was rich. The community, I suppose, was ordinary, but the temple made everything grand. The temple was the landmark of all Southern Alberta. I roller-skated on the sidewalks around the temple as I grew up. I walked through its well–kept grounds with boyfriends, received my endowment in that sacred building, and was married there. When I left Cardston as a bride, I never dreamed that I would have the opportunity to serve there as matron. We went back often as a family. I always relished going home, especially when we approached the Canadian border from Montana and all the familiar memories from my youth came back to me. The wind and winters in Cardston were always bitter cold. The story is told that Charles Ora Card, who founded the settlement on the blustery, wind-swept prairie, was walking to church with his son one day. "Isn't the air fresh and invigorating?" he asked.

  • The Southern Alberta Historic Markers Project 199
    Boatright: The Southern Alberta Historic Markers Project 199 Remembering the Early Saints in Canada: The Southern Alberta Historic Markers Project Gary L. Boatright Jr. In 1989, the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada designated the community of Stirling—a quaint town of just over 1,000 people located on the plains of Southern Alberta—a National Historic Site for being “the best- preserved Canadian example of the distinctive settlement pattern known as a Mormon Agricultural Village or the Plat of Zion.”1 Recognizing the potential the designation provided to increase the historic visibility of the area and po- tentially attract tourists, local community leaders organized a steering com- mittee to determine ways to share the rich history of the area with its citizens and those traveling through the settlements.2 At the request of this committee, representatives from the LDS Church History Department (CHD) visited the settlements of Cardston, Magrath, Raymond, and Stirling, Alberta. Here they toured local historic sites, met with community and provincial leaders, and discussed ways the Church could sup- port local historic preservation initiatives. From these meetings the Church History Department committed to oversee two projects: (1) a modest redo of the historical exhibit in the Guest Centre at the Cardston Alberta Temple, and (2) development and installation of several historic markers in Southern Alberta. In April 2011, CHD staff installed a new exhibit in the temple Guest Centre that focused on the early settlement of the area and the history and architecture of the temple. Following the exhibit installation, CHD staff and local community leaders Scott Barton, Wade Alston, Ryan Leuzinger, Larry GA RY L.

    Oral History of Donald Grant Woolley Born December 12, 1925 Magrath, Alberta, Canada PREFACE 1 After finishing writing Dad’s oral history, I had such an overpowering feeling of love for him and a new appreciation for his life, so well lived. I also realized in a new way how precious one life is—seeing his opened up before me, from his birth to his later years. Since writing this, I have heard him tell wonderful stories that aren’t included here. I think there needs to be a “Part 2” in the saga of his life. I believe the telling of his life story will be an inspiration not only to his children and grandchildren, but to generations yet unborn. Thank you for a life well-lived, Dad.
