    “A Room of Round Logs with a Dirt Roof”: Ute Perkins' Stewardship To

    Eugene H. & Waldo C. Perkins: Ute Perkins Stewardship 61 “A Room of Round Logs with a Dirt Roof”: Ute Perkins’ Stewardship to Look after Mormon Battalion Families Eugene H. Perkins & Waldo C. Perkins On 17 July1846, one day after Captain James Allen had mustered in the Mormon Battalion, U.S. Army of the West, Brigham Young called eighty- nine bishops1 to look after the wives and families of the Mormon Battalion.2 Among the group called were Ute Perkins (1816–1901), a thirty-year-old member of seven years, his uncles, William G. Perkins and John Vance, and his first cousin, Andrew H. Perkins. Until Nauvoo, the Church’s two general bishops, Bishop Newel K. Whitney in Kirtland and Bishop Edward Partridge in Missouri, bore as their major responsibility the challenge to care for the poor and needy. In Nauvoo, in addition to the general bishops, the Church initiated the prac- tice of assigning bishops to aid the poor within Nauvoo’s municipal wards— hence the beginnings of ward bishops. During the trek west, as the calling of these eighty-nine bishops shows, the commitment to calling local bishops to care for small membership groupings was underway and became enough of an established practice that in Utah it became standard Church administra- tive practice—a presiding bishopric at the general level and ward bishops at the local level. Therefore, study of the bishops’ work during the Winter Quarters period deserves historical attention, to which effort the following material contributes.3 Ute Perkins lived in a temporary Mormon encampment called Pleasant Valley, where his father Absalom was the branch president.

    Prospectus William Weeks and the Ephemeral Temple at Nauvoo Central to the early Mormon concept of the City of Zion was the temple. Confronting violent opposition in Ohio and Missouri, in 1839 the Mormons fled to their new Zion at Nauvoo, Illinois situated along a horseshoe bend on the eastern bank of the Mississippi River. In 1840, work on a new temple commenced which would define and establish the permanency of Mormonism. The primitive theology and ritual surrounding the first Mormon temple in Ohio, developed and evolved for the more grandiose temple planned at Nauvoo. However, as Joseph Smith introduced new and controversial doctrines violent opposition increased from both inside and outside the Church. The temple rituals adapted with the expanding doctrine and necessitated an increasingly complex architectural program both on the temple’s interior and exterior. The larger Nauvoo Temple, while generally following the established prototype at Kirtland, assumed new functions and forms not anticipated during its initial planning and construction. The thesis will reexamine William Weeks’s involvement as architect in the design and construction of the Nauvoo temple, in collaboration with Joseph Smith. In particular, as architect, William Weeks materialized a definitive moment in Mormonism’s evolving cultural identity by reshaping ritual space, establishing Mormon material identity and introducing mystery and complexity in the ephemeral Nauvoo temple (1841-1846). The Nauvoo temple became the iconic symbol of Mormonism’s revolutionary doctrinal teachings during the Nauvoo period.

    A History of Kane County, Utah Centennial County History Series

    A HISTORY OF <Kam County Martha Sonntag Bradley UTAH CENTENNIAL COUNTY HISTORY SERIES A HISTORY OF County Martha Sonntag Bradley Kane County is noted for some of the most beautiful—though often inhospitable—land in Utah and has been home to resourceful humans for thousands of years. It was outside the area of first Mormon settlement and was actually created in the early 1860s before many had moved to the area. After the Black Hawk War, settlers soon moved to favorable locations such as Kanab and Long Valley, establishing towns in the isolated region north of the Arizona Strip with economies based on ranching and timber harvesting. With the improvement of area roads and communications in the twentieth century, more people became aware of the scenic splen­ dor of the county, and tourism and movie making began to increase, Kanab even be­ coming known as Utah's Little Hollywood during the heyday of filmmaking. Traditional extractive uses of the land's resources have declined in recent years, but the recent cre­ ation of the Grand Staircase-Escalante Na­ tional Monument has brought the promise of increased tourism to the area. It also has sparked opposition from many who had hoped for coal mining development in the region. Issues of control and uses of public lands promise to be debated vigorously as the county enters the new millenium.

    How Does Embodying the Chains of Religious Memory Become a Transformative Encounter for Latter-Day Saints?

    Sacred plays in sacred places – how does embodying the chains of religious memory become a transformative encounter for Latter-day Saints? Submitted by Alexandra Chantal Yvette Mackenzie Johns, to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Drama, December 2019. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. (Signature) ......................................................................................... Mackenzie Johns I 610045936 1 Mackenzie Johns I 610045936 2 Abstract Post modernity, some argue, has made grand narratives no longer meaningful. Others critique this view as Eurocentric and its own metanarrative. However, despite the forecast of a fully secular society and the inevitable demise of religion in Western, enlightened society, we now live in a post- secular world, characterised by a resurgence of some religious practices, the decline of others and the immergence of still more. Yet, our performance studies theoretical and methodological frameworks do not always reflect this. In counter-measure, this thesis explores large-scale theatrical productions by twenty-first century Latter-Day Saints. They are a religious people, who theatrically embody their own sacred histories, in locales holy to them. In so doing, the materiality of these performances is shot through with the metaphysical, becoming a case study in the complex nexus between theatre, performance studies and theatre practices informed by faith-based practices within organised religion.

    William Atterbury (1711-1766) - The Family Patriarch and His Legacy Chapter 16 –Spencer County Indiana Arterberrys In 1840 there were census records showing a cluster of six Arterbury households in Luce Township, Spencer County Indiana, which appear to have totally escaped the attention of Atterbury family researchers. This chapter will endeavor to give some modicum of identity to these families, and the neighborhood within which they so briefly lived. These Arterbury households are summarized in the sequential order in which they appeared in the census as follows: Page 36: Name: Sariah Arterbury [Sariah Arterberry] Home in 1840 (City, County, State): Spencer, Indiana Free White Persons - Males - 20 thru 29: 2 Free White Persons - Females - 30 thru 39: 1 [Sariah Arterbury?] Free White Persons - Females - 50 thru 59: 1 [Sariah Arterbury?] Name: Sol Asterberry [Sol Arterberry] Home in 1840 (City, County, State): Spencer, Indiana Free White Persons - Males - 5 thru 9: 1 Free White Persons - Males - 10 thru 14: 1 Free White Persons - Males - 30 thru 39 (prob 40 thru 49): 1 [Sol Asterberry] Free White Persons - Females - 15 thru 19: 1 Page 38: E D Arberberry [E D Arterberry] Home in 1840 (City, County, State): Spencer, Indiana Free White Persons - Males - 15 thru 19: 1 Free White Persons - Males - 30 thru 39: 1 [E D Arberberry] Free White Persons - Females - Under 5: 1 Free White Persons - Females - 5 thru 9: 2 Free White Persons - Females - 10 thru 14: 2 Free White Persons - Females - 30 thru 39: 1 Name: Eigah Arteebury [Elijah Arterberry]

For the first Mormon pioneers, the route to their Zion passed through the area that became Summit County. The county continues to serve as a major transportation corridor, carrying transcontinental freeways and railroads. From its mountains spring four major rivers, providing water that sus­ tains much of northern Utah. Its mines have produced silver, gold, lead, and zinc worth hundreds of millions of dollars, money that helped build the state and the Intermountain West. By 1997 its petroleum deposits had yielded almost 170 million barrels of oil. Its three large ski resorts have helped define Utah as a major international destination for skiers and the county as a popular recre­ ational area for Utahns, especially those liv­ ing along the Wasatch Front. These themes—as well as many others— are woven here into a colorful tapestry that is the history of Summit County.
