  • The Manti South Ward record of members indicates that Lynus and Martha Bemus were received into that ward in 1857 from Illinois. Further research is needed to identify the name of the company with which they traveled. Martha's birth date is also confirmed by this record.

    The Manti South Ward record also lists several of their children and indicates that they came into the area from Illinois the following year, in 1858.
