Carbon County Country Club Cemetery

This was on local Fox 13 news a couple of months ago.  Three graves on or adjacent to the golf course.  One is believed to be an outlaw.  The other two are babies.

Elder L. Tom Perry's Funeral was last Friday, June 5, 2015.

One of my great-grandmothers was Isabella Livsey.  William Pilkington, Jr., was her brother.  When William was a young man he went to work for the Martin Harris family on their farm.  Martin Harris gave his last dying testimony of the Book of Mormon to William.  Martin Harris was one of the three witnesses to the Book of Mormon.  He also mortgaged part of his farm to help print the Book of Mormon.  Martin handled the plates shown to him and Joseph Smith by Moroni.

When L. Tom Perry was Deacon's Quorum President in his ward he remembers vividly a trip tot he dedication of the Martin Harris grave site in Clarkston, Utah.  Elder Perry often spoke of this event and in 2003 gave a CES Fireside talk to young people about the importance of studying the scriptures.  He has a BYU professor by the name of Lael Woodbury come and play the part of William Pilkington as he told about the story of William working for the Harris family and his experiences with Martin Harris.  Lael nailed it.  William often spoke of his experiences in LDS sacrament meetings.  He even filed a legal affidavit relating the testimony that Martin Harris gave to him.

Every year there is a pageant at the Clarkston Cemetery.  It is called the Martin Harris Pageant.  It tells about the early history of the LDS Church and the coming forth of the Book of Mormon.  William Pilkington is mentioned in this pageant.

Below are some links to some of this information more especially a video of the 2003 CES Fireside.

Continuing Research on Etta Place.

Yesterday I talked to a relative, a nephew, of Etta Place who did not know that this relative was rumored to be Etta Place.  Now he has accepted it wholeheartedly.

The day before I talked to a lady who wrote an article in 1970 for the Price, Utah newspaper about a man, Robert Harvey Longabaugh, who claimed to be the son of the Sundance Kid.  Sometimes he went by the name of Harry Thayne Longabaugh.  This woman wrote more articles for the Price paper that I need to find.

This is in preparation for possibly writing a book.  I feel I still have some research to do before a book would be complete.  I have found Etta Place before South America, but not much after South America. 

Etta Place Research

Summary of recent research on Etta Place.  On the 2nd of this month I went to my home town and visited an LDS Family History Library.  I was looking for local history on the family of Etta Place.  One of the workers there is best friends with a family member.  The worker called the family member on the phone and I was able to talk to the family member for about 20 minutes.  We exchanged contact information for contact later. 

I was able to meet the family member at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City.  We exchanged information on Etta Place.  She had some important information that I had been looking for.  I had a lot of information as well that they didn't have.  Marriage licenses, census data  and military records included.

I also visited the mother of another family member and exchanged contact information.  That family member just called me the other day and we exchanged information through email.  This is so wonderful that we can do this exchange of information for the people who have died.  We will meet those people after we die.  What a glorious reunion.

I have also contacted some descendants of Etta Place and befriended them on facebook.  I'm waiting for feedback from them.  It has been fun to read their posts on facebook and get to know them in that way.  They post some really good information.  All of this has happened this month.  In my research for the last few months I have found what researchers have been looking for for over 50 years and have not been able to find. 

The research for Etta Place has been very rewarding.  One of many hobbies as I have also been doing fantasy baseball, prospecting for gold, tending my granddaughter and other business of life. 

Children Learn what They Live, by Dorothy Law Nolte, Ph.D.

A classic.  I recently witnessed a parent forcing their child to do something the child did not want to do.  The child was in tears.  The child was being forced against her will.  The parents were, in essence, taking the child's will away from her.  I love these parents but I did not agree with what they were doing.

I have heard many times that a person must accept responsibility for where they are in life or what they become.  I can agree with this where a person's choices are concerned.  Many times we take a child's choice away from them.  That is wrong and may have lifelong consequences that is not the child's fault.  I hope this child heals and turns out OK.

 This poem by Dorothy Law Nolte, Ph.D.  is a classic.  I remember it often.

Children Learn What They LiveBy Dorothy Law Nolte, Ph.D.

If children live with criticism, they learn to condemn.
If children live with hostility, they learn to fight.
If children live with fear, they learn to be apprehensive.
If children live with pity, they learn to feel sorry for themselves.
If children live with ridicule, they learn to feel shy.
If children live with jealousy, they learn to feel envy.
If children live with shame, they learn to feel guilty.
If children live with encouragement, they learn confidence.
If children live with tolerance, they learn patience.
If children live with praise, they learn appreciation.
If children live with acceptance, they learn to love.
If children live with approval, they learn to like themselves.
If children live with recognition, they learn it is good to have a goal.
If children live with sharing, they learn generosity.
If children live with honesty, they learn truthfulness.
If children live with fairness, they learn justice.
If children live with kindness and consideration, they learn respect.
If children live with security, they learn to have faith in themselves and in those about them.
If children live with friendliness, they learn the world is a nice place in which to live.

Kenneth Glyn Hales

My cousin Kenneth Glyn Hales died in the evening of March 7, 2015.  He is said to be 81 years of age.  He was related to Elder Hales who is an Apostle for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  Ken would give the genealogy report at the family reunions.  Ken wrote three book about family history.  They were huge books.  Like a good three inches thick. 

One of the memories of the Hales family is a car accident that happened near Lovelock, Nevada on August 6, 1954.  The family went to Disneyland and on the way back to Utah were hit by a speeding drunk driver and five of them were killed.  Killed were father and mother Frank and Eugenie Hales, daughter Julie and sons Don and Que.  Nikki Hales was the lone survivor.  Nikki also survives Ken and was at one time a inner city missionary in Salt Lake City for the LDS Church.  Ken was in the Air Force at the time of the accident.  Elva had already married.  Monte, who is now deceased, had also left home. 

In the home where grew up was a picture of Frank and Eugenie.  I often saw that picture and my mother often told me of the accident.  Whenever I saw that picture I got the impression that they were in the presence of God.  They went to a far better place despite the very tragic accident that they had here on this planet.  I felt that they did not go to any intermediary place but straight to the presence of god.  They were devout members of their church and Eugenie was the Relief Society President for the 29th Ward. 

What a reunion that Ken is having with his parents and all his family members that he has studied and written about.  He had a few lines in his ancestry that were pioneers.  Pulsipher and Burgess just to name a couple.  One of the Pulsiphers baptized Willford Woodruff who was one of the Presidents of the  LDS Church.  What a glorious occasion to be reunited with your parents after sixty and one half years.
