him down. it caused a laugh. was told it served him right
I ran away. one day after this he caught me. Some men
Standing near by told him to leave me along, or they would
maul the life out of him.

My father & mother became very anxous that we gather
to Zion They didnot like the company we were in. The travling
Elders interceided in our behalf, soon after we received a letter
from the presidance at Liverpool a blank to fill out with
all our names and ages, this was done at once. Afterwards
received a letter to get ready to Set Sail, on May 16th 1856 Ship
Horizon. This word came forepart of May.

My father took me to Sheepshed where his father lived
(grandmother. being dead.) told grandfather. he would start for
America some time this month. Grand father Said he was
verys sorry to part with, said (him) you have caused him and his dear
mother not trouble. You have behaved like a dutifull son
Father told him he was going to gather with the Saints to Zion

Grandfather why go to America where there is savage
Indians & wild beast. told father that Christens would go
to heaven. and the Mormons would if they done right

This being Sunday father preached his farewell
sermon to the saints, afterward we returned home.

Father engaged an auctioneer to sell our furniture.

church. the town cryer. was ingaged, went all over
the town with bell in hand ringing -" O, yes, O yes-
Bro. and Sister Bailey are leaving for Zion. Come one
come all and buy their goods.

I felt a little ashamed. I wanted father to
stop him. Mother said no; he is not ashamed to let
people know, that we with him are Latter day Saints.

The day arrived for father and family to bid
good-bye to grand-father and grand-mother and
her six brothers, many of the saints went to the
station to see us off.

We arrived at Liverpool. took lodgings for the
night. next day went and saw our vessel. "The

 

[Page 8 of 78]

Horizon" On Sunday May 28th. we left dock. we
had not gone very far when a disturbance arose
between the first mate and the sailors. The mate
drew his pistol, ordered the men to be put in irons

They were rowed in a boat to Liverpool.
Some of our men (saints) said they could fill their
places.

Our captain. Mr Reed. he treated the 800
saints like a gentleman, althrough the voyage.

We had a very good trip, it was a new
sailing vessel. we reached Boston June 28, 1856, being
five weeks on the ocean. On July 2nd we took train
for Iowa City, reached there July 8th. From the train
to the camp was about four miles, all felt to
rejoice to have this little walk, 600 strong. we had
not gone far before a thunder storm came ovr us. all
had heir bed clothing Etc. to carry, we were all drenched
with rain, many did not reach camp untill dark

Bro. John and myself got seperated from
our parents in the dark, we were conducted to a
tent, stood up with many more all night in our wet
clothes, when it began to get light father and mother
were out hunting us, this was our first experiance
in traveling to Zion on foot.

We were delayed in camp for two weeks, most
of the carts had to be made. At this place John and
I learned to swim in the river. A tall man walked
in the river where I was treading the water. I saw him
go down, then come to the surface twice then went down
again. I called to those around me to form a line
as quick as possible. I saw his hand come in sight
I grasped his wrist swam to the nearest man we
were both hauled out, it took a long time before he came
to himself. Gave the reason for going in deep water.
thought I was walking on the botttom of the river.

We staid on this camp ground for two weeks
It was a sight to see 600 people pulling their carts
through the cities and vileages of Iowa. People came
out of their houses and jeered us. On we went, all
happy and cheerful, we encounted thunder storms
we were wet through many times. John and I took
off our shoes and stocking, this mode of travel proved
too much for me.

 

 

[Page 9 of 78]

I was taken down with hemerage of the bowles.
I was unable to walk, had to be hauled on Bro. Isaac J Wardel
and my brother's John's cart.

After reaching Florence, a Doctor was consulted, said I
must not go another step or I would die, and be burried on
the road side. A captain, named June, would not administer
to me, said he did not have faith enough to rais the dead.

Mother on hearing that Apostle F.D. Richards and C. H.
Wheelock had arrived in camp got them to administer [two lettersscrossed out]
to me. they promised me I would live to reach the vallies.

All this time I was uncounsis of what was going on.

The Doctor called again to see me, told father he would
take care of the family and fit us out next year to persue
our journey. Father thanked him kindly, he pled with
father to stop said it was to late to make the trip, said
when we reached the mountains we would be snowed
in. We found his words to be too true.

The emergrants were called to geather to know
their minds in regards to stop untill the next year or go
on. Voted to go on. On August 25th 1856 the company made
a start. I not being able to walk. Isaac J Wardel and Bro.
John, only 15 years old, hauled me on their carts. We
got along fairly well until we reached the mountains,
then bad weather set in, snow stroms came impeded
our traveling. no one can describe the suffering we end-
ured. Our rashings consisted of 4 oz. flour and nothing
else did we have to eat.

One morning believing I could walk a little
a head of the company. I got this privledge from my
parents; my plan was to get away lay down under
a sage brush and die. I saw my father and mother
and my cart pass by, I streched out to die, just
then a voice said "your mother is hunting you jump
up" I saw mother in haste comming towards me, wandted
to know what had gone rong with me, I told her I had
planned to lay down and die, I felt it was to much to
pull me on the cart, at some time had as much lugage They
could manage, scolded me a little. She reminded what I
was promised by apostle F.D. Richard. I wrode on a cart untill
the teams from the Valleys met us

One day mother was in the croud wating her turn
to receive our daly rachens. her sh(a)ul fell of her shoulders. no
one seemed to know who picked (it) up. Some weeks afterward I

I saw a sister pass by. I saw on her under her shaul mothers

asked her if she was not ashamed to steal and going to Zion

It was quite a sight to see the poor womin take
hold of hands in wadeing thro the cold rivers with their cloths

told her legs were amputated when she arrived in Salt Lake City 

I refrain from writing about the suffering of those people
It never can or will be told.

On leaving this morning my bro. John saw the
wovles devoring the bodies, he had helped to burry the day before
he tried to drive them a way he had to run for his life.

That morning in starting I was placed in a wagon

pulled down. good fires was made of the logs. provision were
rather short on account of the teams being so long on the road

could help our selves, we were unable to bite a kneral

thro a large gate or door. We was taken to an empy one room
house, no funiture. Some sage brush had been placed by the
door, a fire was made, watched the smoke go up the chimney
I said to my parients is this Zion we have been praying &
singing about, the surrownding was very uninviting
We made our beds on the hard flour. We lived on charity during
the winter, sometimes we had food. Sometimes we were short

We had been travling for 8 months. Suffering for food
and latter part of the time very cold, was pleased to find a
resting place, tho very humble indeed. I looked around
and saw little adobe houses roofs made of willows
covered with durt. Opposite our window near by a corrall
it was Sunday morning. Some young men was roping
some wild steers, The languge used fairly shocked me
I said to my mother is this Zion. The following Sunday
I asked the priveledge to go out side the house and see
what kind of people attended meeting. As some boys
passed by me. They Knocked me down with snow balls
I crawled back to the house, mother helped me in. She
saw how I had been treated. She got the snow out of my
neck and back. I said to mother is this Zion where the pure (in Heart) lives

not help it in seclecting me as Supt. if they had made a mistake
it was not my fault. I hope you choose the right man. I felt
very bad, I sought the Lord in prayer. I dreamed that these
two men returned and reinstated me in the School, sure in

KB letter from: The Church of Jesus Christ of Letter-Day Saints
Office of Presiding Patriarch
Salt Lake City

Dear Brother:- Langley Allgood Bailey

I enclose herewith a certificate of your ordi-
nation to the office of Patriarch, and have on file your
personal genealogy. No doubt, you will carefully pre-
serve this certificate as a memento of your having reach-
ed this honorable position in the Chruch. I trust that
you will exercise your office and calling for the benefit
and blessing of the Latter-day Saints in the stake where
you reside.

As a Patriarch, it is your duty to bless those
who come to you with a desire for a blessing, providing
they are worthy members of the Chruch and reside in the
Stake where you have been called to labor.

You should not officiate for persons who are
not members of your Stake without authority to do so,
excepting in cases of kinship. And, should you bless
those who are not members of the Chruch, you do it upon
your own responsibility.

It is a good rule, although not a binding one,
to commence your labors by blessing your family and im-
mediate kindred; and it is your right to bless them
wheever they may reside.

You are at liberty to receive a gift or free
will offering from those to whom you minister; but do
not peremit any one to leave your presence feeling that they
have paid you for a blessing. Patriarchal blessings can-
not be purchased; they are the free gifts of God to His
children under the hands of His Patriarchs.

All copies of blessings should be approved and
signed by you before they are delivered to the persons
receiving the blessings.

All children are proper subjects for Patriarchal
blessings, although a common guide is to wait until after
they have been baptized.

[This section was the right side of the page which was divided]

ON YOUR BIRTHDAY

Stand by, Old Time, with your frost
hung wings,
And temper the storms away,
That only the best of life shall grace
This glad anniversary Day!

Dear honored venerable father,
Had I the power to give,
Old Time should crown you with
laurels
For the years you have yet to live.

I would woo from his knarled old
fingers--
In place of the smiting scythe,
A store so full of your earned reward
You could never hold the tithe.

For his age--worn dial the days of life
Should fall gently down as dew,
And the choicest gifts of the harvest
time
Be the even--tide to you.

Beloved and reverenced parents---
No tribute is complete,
That does not crown our dear
heads both
In a unity replete.

Together your footsteps have moun--
ted,
Thru briar and tempest and gale--
Together they enter the shadows,
Where twilight fades on the trail.

Together still healing and blessing,
As the rhime--frost whitens your
hair,
With your hand still busy in ser--
vice,
And your good works everywhere.

May your years be long as you wish
them,
Replete with your every need----
May the evening span down the hill
side slope
Be a journey of joy indeed.

For old and young and a thousand
strong
Are the friends who throng your
way
Who bless your name for the good
deeds all
And wish you their best today!

408-9 Templeton Building

Salt Lake City, Utah]

 

Salt Lake City, March 27, 1899.

To the Stake Superintendency. 

Dear Brothren : --
The Deseret Sunday School Union Board has de-
cided, as you know, to hold a Sunday School Jubilee during the year 1899,
in commemeration of the fiftieth anniversary of the establishment of
Sunday Schools in the Rocky Mountains.

A committee has been appointed by the Board to look after the de-
tails of the Jubilee, and the Board has decided that there should be
a committee of three appointed by each Stake Superintendency to re-
present the Stake and act in conjunction with the general committee.

Your early attention to this will greatly oblige.

Kindly appoint a committee and send me their names and addresses,
giving also the name of the chairman, in order that we may communicate
with them.

Your assist(an)ce in helping us to make this occasion another great
aid to the Sunday School cause will be greatly appreciated.
Very Truly, Your Brother.

Geo. D. Pyper
General Secretary.

Sunday School
Excursion.

Manti and Funk' s Lake the Pleasure Re-
sorts Chosen- The Temple Visite.
By the Teachers and scholars.--
A Good Time Spent.

Precisely at 7 0'clock last Tues-
day morning, six well loaded cars
attached to the Sanpete engine
pulled out from the starting point
on Main Street for a jaunt through
the Granary of Utah and incidently
to visit the charming resort in the
heart of the mountain -- i.e., Funk's
lake.

Never was a more jolly crowd
aboard a railroad train than that
which made up the "greatest and
grandest excursion" Juab county
ever seen. 

Brother L.A. Bailey, as father
of the ceremonies was there in all
his glory, being ably assisted by
Brother H.F. McCune and Abram
Orme, and they were also assisted
by Superintendents J. A. Booth of
of the South ward and Charles H.
Grace of the North ward, with
their aides while the Sunday school
teachers vied with each other in
helping to collect tickets, keeping
order and endeavoring to point out
the scenic beauties of the trip.

When the temple city was
reached, the large crowd, which
numbered nearly 800 souls, wended
their way up to the temple, and
where these who had recommends
were allowed to go through the
spacious edifice and view the beau-
ties of the interor. Neither tongue
or pen can describe its beauties so
that it can be appreciated by the
readers of this paper but suffice it
to say that every one who went
through that glorious building were
amply repaid for any inconvenience
which they may have incurred
during the trip out.

After nearly two hours of inspec-
tion the large company again
wended their way to the depot and
boarded the train for Funk's Lake,
which started off on its journey as
soon as the regular from Nephi
came in with another large batch
of excursionists.

It would be impossible to tell the
beauties of the mountain resort,
with its deligtful scenery, beauti-
ful hills, its pleasant shade trees
and above all its beautiful trickling
streams of pure mountain water
which the thirsty and tired trave-
lers indulged in to a great extent.

The return journey was made in
good time, and without an accident
which speaks well for the officials
of the Sanpete railroad, and by the
way Superintendent Kerr and his
aids deserve the united thanks [word illegible]
the people in the successful handl-
ing and management of the trip.

Everyone were pleased I with the
success of the trip and the cour-
teous treatment received at the
hands of Presidents McAllister and
Maiben of the Manti temple and
trust that other excursions of a like
character may be inaugurated in
Juab county.

He forgot to mention the fact last
[word cannot be read] that Brothers L.A. Bailey, H.F.
McCune and Charles Grace visited San-
pete and perfected the arrangements
for the most gigantic and magnificent
excursion ever held. The success of the
[torn page]is mainly due to the inde-
[torn page]efforts of Brother Bailey.

Elder L. A. Bailey,
Nephi, Utah.

Dear Brother: - Your letter of Aug. 30th was read before the
Deseret Sunday School Union Board yesterday, and was much appreciated.
Thank you for the interest you have taken in sending us the details of
your outing and also for the copy of the news paper containing an account
of the same. The brethren expressed satisfaction at the spirit of your
letter and at the successful termination of your excursion, and hope
that the reunion may result in the advancement of the Sunday School cause
in your Stake. They feel that it is a time for renewed activity in the
interest of the young, and that greater efforts must be made in the future
than in the past to successfully carry out the object of the Sunday School
work, viz.: the making of Later-day Saints of our children.

Kindly accept again the thanks of the Board for your interest.

Turly, Your Brother

Sunday School Conference,

The Juab Stake Suday school annual
conference convened at Nephi in the
Tabernacle, Saturday and Sunday, May
28th and 29th, 1898, with Stake Super-
intendent Langley A. Bailey Sr. pre-
siding. We had with us Elder George
Goddard, of the general superintend-
ency, L. John Nuttall, of the board,
Elder James W. Paxman and counsel-
ors, besides Superintendent L. A. Bailey
and assistants.

During the two days, reports were
given by the various superintendents,
showing all schools in a growing and
prosperous condition, and, as the ex-
ercises showed, there had been consid-
erable progress and improvement during-
ing the past year. There were also
exercises and songs given by the vari-
ous schools, viz., Nephi Secon d ward
primary gave an exercise on "Lehi's
travels in the promised land; the sec-
ond intermediate department of Nephi
First ward gave a class exercise on the
"lives of Abinadi and Alma; a quar-
tet was sung by four young ladies of
the Nephi Second ward;  the Levan
theological department gave a synopsis
of the fore part of the "Ecclesiastical
History;" The Nebo school was repre-
sented by a song by Israel C. Bale and
"O My Father," sung in the German
language by Johnnie Klenk; the theo-
logical department of the Nephi sec-
ond ward gave an account of the birth
life and edath of Moses; O.A. Bates
and Ernest Winn of the Nephi First
ward sung a duet; and address on
Faith was given by Foster W Jones of
Nephi First Ward.

Elders George Goddard and L.
John Nuttall spoke on the following
subjects during the conference: Order
punctuality, the Sunday school hymn
books, fasting and prayer, tithing bap-
tism, the Sacrament and the leaflets;
exhorting all to observe and live up to
the above named principles. In the
evening of Sunday, Elder L. John Nut-
tall spoke on the Word of Wisdon,
saying it did not mean just to leave
tea, coffee, whisky and tobacco alone,
but it meant for us to observe every-
thing that would prolong our lives and
health. Spoke on the imported canned
goods we are continuously eating and
the poisonous substances contained in
them, and the diseased animals from
which the canned meats come; said it
is no wonder there is so much sickness
and disease amongst us. Said if we did
not build up our own industries and
cease importing so much, the time is
not far distant when we will be forced
to manufacture and raise what we
need, as there would be strikes and
other calamities come that would cause
the transportation to be cut off and we
would not be able to get anything only
what we have in our own State.

On numerous occasions Brother God-
dard, in his every jovial and pleasing
way, sang for the little forks, which

pleased them very much.

Elders Jas. W. Paxman, H. F. Mc-
Cune, D. K. Brown and L. A. Bailey
also made some encouraging remarks,
speaking of the necessity of the par-
ents seeing to it that their children
attend Sunday school so they could be
taught in the fear of God and be pre-
pared for the responsibilities that will
be placed upon them in the future.

All through the conference the Spirit
of God was with us and a very enjoy-
able time was had by all in attend-
ance. ALBERT R. PAXMAN,
Stake Secretary.

L.A. Bailey Esq.,
Jua b Stake Tithing Clerk.
Nephi.

Dear Brethern: -

The tithing reports of Juab Stake for the year 1899
have been duly audited and found in very satisfactory condition.
A few slight changes have been made of which you were appraised when
at this office.

We have added in column 2, opposite the department of
cash, the sum of $100.00 which appears to have been paid after the
accounts had been made up. This increases the tithes on hand a like
amount. Please make the necessary change on the copies filed in the
Stake office.

We compliment you on the neat appearance of the accounts
and the accuracy and excellent manner in which the tithes have been
handled, all of which is very much appreciated.

We call your attention to the fact that only one copy
of each ward list on non-tithe payers was included in the report and
request that you kindly send the extra copies at your earliest conven-
ience and oblige.

Range Experiment Station which
occupies the forth floor of the
regional forest office in Ogden,
is the research division of he
United States Forest Service.

Reed W. Bailey came to Ogden
to take the position as director
of this branch after assisting for
two years in setting up the water-
shed work of five state CCC
camps which are now engaged
in erosion and flood control
work.

Born In Nephi
Born in Nephi, Utah, Jan. 29,

the Nephi High School, studied
geology and ecology at the Utah
State Agriculural College. At
the school he was editor of "Stu-
dent Life" the school paper and

dent body.

He was graduated from the
University of Chicago with a
bachelor's degree and master's
degree and later was engaged in
geology field work for the Uni-
versity of Missouri.

Returning to Logan in 1924,
Mr. Bailey was a professor of
geology at the U. S. A. C. until
1933, when he was loaned out to
establish the CCC camps for ero-
sion control work. He is married
and had three daughters.

The function of the Intermoun-
tain Forest and Range Experi-
ment Station is to determine
methods and ways to utilizing
natural resources so as to con-
serve them to make sure of their
continued use.

brary of western history as a hob-
by. He was with the ninety-first
division of the United States
Army in France for two years
during the World War and went
through that trying ordeal with-
out being wounded.
