Abstract: Certificates of Land Title issued to Utah settlers, by the Probate Court of Salt Lake County, establishing legal title to their land under an Act of Congress entitled, “An Act for the relief of the Inhabitants of Cities and Towns upon the Public Lands, approved March 2, 1867.” Agency History The Probate Court was established with the creation of Utah as a territory in 1851. Federal law gave territorial probate courts the power to deal with matters of estates of deceased persons and the guardianship of the estates of minors and the incompetent. In 1852, the Territorial Legislature gave the Probate Court jurisdiction over civil, criminal, and chancery matters. The court could also act as an appellant court to the Justice of the Peace Courts within the county, and all Probate Court proceedings could be appealed to the District Court. Estate cases handled by the Court included probate and guardianship matters. These included adoptions after the legislature first made provisions for adoption as a legal process in 1884. Civil cases included primarily divorce, debt, replevin, damages, delinquent tax collections, contract and property disputes, and evictions. -

Non-Mormon Presence in 1880S Utah
The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Earth and Mineral Sciences THE WASP IN THE BEEHIVE: NON-MORMON PRESENCE IN 1880S UTAH A Thesis in Geography by Samuel A. Smith c 2008 Samuel A. Smith Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science August 2008 The thesis of Samuel A. Smith was read and approved1 by the following: Deryck W. Holdsworth Professor of Geography Thesis Adviser Roger Downs Professor of Geography Karl Zimmerer Professor of Geography Head of the Department of Geography 1. Signatures on file in the Graduate School. iii Abstract Recent studies have reconsidered the Mormon Culture Region in light of its 1880{1920 transition to American political and economic norms. While these studies emphasize conflicts between the Mormon establishment and the non-Mormon federal government, Mormon/non-Mormon relations within Utah have received little direct attention. Based on religious affiliations recorded in the 1880 federal census of Utah Territory, this study uses historical GIS to visualize the composition of Utah's \Mormon" and \non-Mormon" towns. The results highlight the extensive presence of religious minorities in Utah's settlements. Case studies of farm villages, mining camps, and urban neighborhoods probe the social and economic contexts of non-Mormon presence in Utah. These studies, based on Sanborn maps and city directories, explore the geographical mosaic of Mormon and non-Mormon residence and business activity. These variegated patterns, often absent from historical accounts of the region, enable localized analyses of the ensuing decades of cultural conflict, transformation and assimilation. Keywords: Mormons, non-Mormons, Mormon Culture Region, Utah, 1880 Cen- sus, historical demography. -

Young Heber J, Grant's Years Oi Passage
Young Heber J, Grant's Years oi Passage s Heber J. Grant came of age, Mormonism was as much a part Aof the Utah landscape as the territory's dusty valleys and vaulting mountain walls. Young Heber met religion everywhere—in his Salt Lake City home and neighborhood, at the Tabernacle on Temple Square, in the offices of Church and civic leaders where he some times ventured, and certainly in his native Thirteenth Ward, one of the most innovative and organizationally developed Latter-day Saint congregations of the time. Slowly young Heber internalized his reli gious culture, but not before encountering the usual perils of adoles cence and coming of age. The process tells not only a great deal about Heber himself, but also about the beliefs, rituals, and worship patterns of early Utah Mormons. Heber J. Grant was a second-generation Mormon, born Novem ber 22, 1856, at Jedediah Grant's imposing Main Street home. His father, Brigham's counselor and Salt Lake City mayor, died nine days later. In Jedediah's stead, the boy was christened by Thirteenth Ward Bishop Edwin D. Woolley, who found the spirit of the occasion to be unusual. "I was only an instrument in the hands of his dead father ... in blessing him," the bishop later remarked. That boy "is entitled [someday] to be one of the Apostles, and I know it"1 (illus. 3-1). There were other harbingers of the child's future. Once Rachel, his mother, took the boy to a formal dinner at the Heber C. Kimballs'. After the adults had finished dining, the children were invited to eat what remained. -

442 CHARLES FRANKLIN DECKER Born: 21 June 1824 Phelps, New York (near Palmyra) Age: 32 Rescuer Affectionately known as “Uncle Charlie,” Charles F. Decker’s obituary in March of 1901 honored him by stating that “his deeds will live after him” and that his dramatic life experiences and “narrow escape from death in a hundred different forms would fill a volume.” At the age of 12, Charles’s family was living in Ohio when they were taught the gospel by missionaries of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The Decker family became a group of 1,500 converts who were baptized and joined the Church in 1836. Their lives became ones of repeated sacrifice as they labored on the Kirtland Temple in Ohio, gathered with the Saints in Missouri and Nauvoo, and suffered persecution and expulsion from each of these places. Charles and his family were with a group of people who observed Joseph and Hyrum Smith as they kissed their families goodbye and left Nauvoo for their martyrdom. After being driven from Missouri and as a young teenager, Charles worked as a mail rider in Dublin, Indiana, in order to help support his beleaguered family. He also worked for three years on riverboats. He spoke of this period of his life as having taught him to “be tough, and to keep my ears open, my eyes skinned, and my mouth shut.” Charles was also tutored by the likes of Orrin Porter Rockwell and Kit Carson. During the Nauvoo years, Charles began to court Brigham Young’s 2nd oldest daughter, Vilate. -
Missionary Activities in New England in the Early 1830S
Missionary Activities in New England in the Early 1830s Craig K. Manscill Religion played a very important role in early American history. It was largely for religious purposes that America was founded. Many people from the New England area were descendants of deeply religious progenitors and played important roles in the found- ing of America. During the nineteenth century, the New England states had been trodden and combed for converts by various denominations. Methodist circuit riders, Presbyterian preachers, Baptist revivalists, and Reformed Baptist ministers competed for the souls of men and women—all reaping a harvest for their respective religions. 1 What New England had not heard, up to this time, was the message of the Restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ from the Mormons. The message centered in the fact that the new and ever - lasting covenant had been reestablished and was patterned after the teachings of Jesus Christ’s meridian Church. In order for Mormonism to flourish and succeed, it had to meet certain conditions. It had to offer something new, different, and challenging and yet have a familiar gospel message. This somewhat-familiar gospel message presented new and challenging doctrine. The New England states of the early 1830s became the focus of a good deal of the early missionary labors. Because of New Englanders ’ religious background and zeal for freedom, the message of Mormon- ism flourished, and many of them became converts to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. From their ranks came a great number of the early leaders of the Church, and they often gave much-needed financial assistance to the young and growing organi - zation. -

Berrett† tanding atop the Mount of Olives just prior to sunrise is a singular S experience. Often there is a stillness about the spot that evokes deep thought and contemplation. Eyes are drawn across the brook-carved val- ley toward the Holy Mount where the temple stood in antiquity. Reflecting upon sacred events that unfolded in the Holy City is the natural result of standing on the Mount of Olives, particularly certain events in the life of Jesus and the ministries of Melchizedek, Abraham, Isaac, Isaiah, Lehi, Jeremiah, Peter, and Paul. And as a result of Orson Hyde’s ascent up the Mount to dedicate Palestine, Latter-day Saints include him in this select group.
