Annabella City Cemetery



I journeyed about 40 miles south of Gunnison to find my maternal 3rd great-grandmother, Louisa Walker Barney in the Annabella City Cemetery.  I found her husband, Edson Barney, in the Provo City Cemetery with his first wife, Lillis.  Edson and Lillis had ten children born to them between 1831 and 1845.  Edson, age 41, married Louisa Walker (3ggm), age 25, on 10 May 1847, she was the second wife forming a plural marriage.  Edson and Louisa had ten children between the years of 1848 and 1862.  Louisa was born on 14 July 1822 in Ohio and died on 15 April 1888 in Annabella, Sevier County, Utah.

According to NewFamilySearch.org, Louisa Walker first married Jacob Kemp Butterfield on 19 March 1840.  They had three children, Amanda (1841-1844), Mary Elizabeth (1842-1856), and Lucinda (1845-1845).  Jacob did not die until 1889, so presumably Jacob and Louisa divorced prior to 1847 when Lucinda married Edson.  

When I found Edson Barney's grave with his first wife in Provo I was feeling a little bad for Louisa being buried all alone in Annabella.  But to my great surprise I found her grave with flowers and a solar light held fast to the grave with a bungee cord.  I was so excited to see that someone, presumably a descendant, has been caring for her grave.  I left a little note in the jar of fake flowers with my name and email so that hopefully I can connect with this probable distant relative.

Junction - City Creek Cemetery


On FindAGrave.com I found Thomas N. Wilson my paternal and maternal 3rd great-grandfather.  On this site it showed Thomas N. Wilson as being buried in the City Creek Cemetery also known as Harris Cemetery about one and one half miles north of Junction along Hwy 89.  I spotted it off the side of the freeway and was excited to go exploring through this small and forlorn cemetery. 
Harris Cemetery aka City Creek Cemetery

Although my camera could not capture it there were three different gated areas with graves.  There were also graves spread along about a 1/2 mile area.  The bones are cow bones.  I just had to take some pictures of them so you could get a feel for this cemetery.



After about an hour of traipsing through weeds and dirt I realized that Thomas Wilson was nowhere to be found.  I was sad to not find his grave so I put a few rocks together by the only green bush I could find and told Thomas that I was sorry that this was the only tombstone that I could offer him for now.  I promised that I would be back to honor him properly with a real tombstone.
My make-shift memorial to Thomas Wilson

When I got back into my car I recalled how my ancestors that were reportedly buried in the Pioneer Cemetery were actually buried in the Spring City Cemetery.  So I decided to drive into Junction to see if the County Courthouse had records of who was actually buried in the little cemetery up the road.  In about a minute's drive I had arrived at the County Courthouse pictured below.

I walked to the front desk and asked the lady sitting there if they had records of who was buried in the cemetery just up the road.  The lady at the desk pointed to a woman standing next to me and said this is the lady you want to speak to.  I told the woman that I had wandered through the old cemetery up the road looking for my 3rd great-grandfather, Thomas Wilson.  The woman replied, "Do you mean Old Man Wilson?"  I said, "I doubt it.  He's been dead for over 100 years.  I don't think anyone would still be referring to him as Old Man Wilson."  The lady said, "Well, that's about how long Old Man Wilson has been dead."  She continued,"He's buried just east of this building up by his old home. If you wait just a few minutes my friend who has done research on everyone who is buried in Junction will be here and she can tell you more."  As we were waiting, the woman, I think her name was Joann, told me the following story.  She said, "There's a legend around here that has been told about Old Man Wilson since I was a little girl.  Before he died he requested that he be buried face down so that the Mormons could kiss his A.... when they went floating by."  She went on to say that she asked the man who is over the cemetery records if Thomas was really buried face down.  The man told her that he believed that the story of him being buried face down was true.  As I was recovering from the shock of that story, the woman that I was waiting for arrived.

Joann introduced me to Donna and told her that I was looking for Thomas Wilson's grave.   Then Donna told me about how her mom had done research and gathered records for all the settlers of Junction and Circleville.  She said that since her mom passed away that she had kept the records and continued on with her mother's work.  Donna told me that she had a brief history on Thomas Wilson and she knew from memory his birth and death years.  I asked her if she was a descendant and she said no but that she is just interested in the town's history and Thomas Wilson is a part of that history.  She proceeded to tell me exactly where Thomas was buried and then she repeated the story of Thomas requesting to be buried face down so that the Mormons could kiss his you know what as they floated by.  

Donna and Joann had come to the courthouse to attend a retirement insurance meeting and therefore she could not give me the history of Thomas right now, but she took my name and address so that she could mail me the information she had in regards to him.  I thanked them graciously and got out of their way so that they could attend their meeting. 

So as I was driving away to see Thomas Wilson's grave located about a quarter mile east of the courthouse, I was thinking...The Lord is aware of all of us and our needs and righteous desires!  Without the Lord's intervention what is the chance of me running into the exact woman I needed to meet at the County Courthouse building?!  

Across the road from the courthouse is Scott's Lane.  I got on and headed west until I reached a gate with hundreds of cows.  I decided to turn back and head down a dirt road that had forked off of Scott's lane as I was rumbling along this dirt road a white truck approached me from the opposite direction.  He rolled down his window and told me that I was on private property.  I apologized and told him that I was looking for Thomas Wilson's grave.  He let go of his gruffness and gave me a smile and said, "Follow me, I'll drive you to it."  We drove back to Scott's lane and he stopped at a little wooden house/shack.  We got out of our vehicles and the man said,"This was Thomas Wilson's home.  It caught on fire and Thomas was burnt to death.  It's said that Thomas was buried face down so that the Mormons could kiss his A... as they float by."  

Thomas Wilson's home, which caught on fire and caused Thomas' death.
As we got back in our cars to drive to Thomas' grave I thought it was pretty funny to have met three different people and that each of them told me that same story about Thomas being buried face down.  Well we continued down Scott's Lane and when we got to the cow gate we turned north and drove across the field along the gate until we reached a knoll.  We got out and the kind man, I think his name was Sheryl, pointed me up the hill to Thomas' grave.  Before he left he told me that another lady about my age had come just a week before to find his grave.  I think it is awesome that I have relatives that I don't even know, who are just as curious about their ancestors as I am.  Well after a short trek up the tiny hill this is what I found:
Thomas' original and new tombstones facing each other.
The new stone faces east and the old one faces west.

When I spoke to my dad, DuWayne Squire, about my adventure in finding Thomas Wilson's grave, Dad told me that when he was about 17 he went to find Thomas' grave with Reed Wilson and they cleaned up the grave site and put up a wire fence.  My dad has not seen it with the wrought iron fence and new headstone.  I am not certain as to who to give credit for the upgrade. [Reed Wilson was my dad's 1st cousin once removed.  Reed was the son of Morris Wilson, Jr. and great-grandson of Thomas Wilson.]

This was such an exciting day for me.  I had gone from feeling sad that Thomas had been forgotten and had no tombstone to elation at finding this little monument built just for him.  To see his house still standing and to hear townspeople recall stories of him brought me pure joy!
Donna, the "town historian," did mail me a brief history on Thomas, which will be perfect for my blog next week.

As a final thought on this Veteran's Day...Thank you to the men and women, past and present, who have served our country and fought for our freedoms and rights.  A special thanks to my dad who served in the Korean War.  If you have not read of his faith building experience check out my post, September 1, 2012 filed under the label, Stories of Faith.

Cemetery Tour - Day 2 - Gunnison & Fillmore

After my quick revisit to the Manti Cemetery I was off to Gunnison, a short drive away. The Gunnison Cemetery is next door to The Central Utah Correctional Facility (Gunnison Prison). Quite a disappointing view after seeing such pretty cemeteries in Spring City and Manti.

Gunnison City Cemetery



View of Penitentiary Tower in the distance

When I arrived to the Gunnison Cemetery a groundskeeper was there and offered to help me find a grave.  I told him that I was looking for Amasa Loren Kenney in Plot 02.58.06.  The worker said, "Oh, the one who was just buried last week?"  I said,"No. He's been dead for over 100 years."  The worker replied,"Well, we just buried someone there last week."  He took me over to the recently dug grave and then I could understand his confusion as the name of the person buried was Adrean Curley Kenney and was in the plot next to Amasa.  I googled the recently deceased, Adrean Kenney, and between his obituary and what was on New Family Search I discovered that he was my 2nd cousin one time removed.  I found that he was a great-grandson of Amasa Loren Kenney.  His descendancy from Amasa in Biblical fashion is as follows:  Amasa Loren Kenney begat Amasa Axel Kenney who begat Leo Amasa Kenney who begat Adrean Jay "Curley" Kenney.


Adrean Curley Kenney
1927-2012

Amasa Loren Kenney was my paternal 2nd great-grandfather.  I posted about Amasa in September if you want to read more.  Amasa died shortly after his 38th birthday.  In his short 38 years he was married twice, first to Cannie (2ggm), and second to Anna Eliza Gledhill.  He was the father of seven children.
Amasa Kenney
April 9, 1858
April 29, 1896
As I have mentioned in previous posts, Amasa Loren Kenney's wife, Cannie Christine Tullgren, died ten days after giving birth to my great-grandma Cannie Christena Kenney Squire Peterson.  Amasa signed over guardianship of Cannie to his sister-in-law, Lena Tullgren Larson.  In my Grandpa Loren D. Squire's genealogy book he stated that his mother, Cannie Christena, was the second child born to Amasa and Cannie.  It appears that Amasa raised his first born and namesake, Amasa, Jr. I found Amasa, Jr. and his wife's, Annie Margaret Jensen's, graves just west of Amasa, Sr.  Again I turned to New Family Search and my own PAF file to discover my connections to the following relative ancestors.
Amasa A. Kenney
Feb. 9, 1877
Sept. 9, 1962

[great-grand uncle]
Annie M. Kenney [Annie Margaret Jensen]

July 12, 1960

Irene T. Kenney
[Infant daughter of Amasa, Jr. and Annie M. Kenney]
July 26, 1906
Jan. 21, 1907

Although Amasa Loren Kenney was the only direct line ancestor in this cemetery it was interesting to learn more of my relative ancestors. Learning about these relatives helped me get a better view of Amasa's life. Before this trip I wondered why Amasa kept his oldest son, Amasa, Jr., and not his infant daughter, Cannie, but now I realize that Amasa was only 21 years old at the time of his wife's death.  His sister-in-law, Lena Tullgren Larsen, was nursing her own infant at the time and Amasa probably thought the infant Cannie had a better chance of survival if her Aunt were to become her mom.  

I next went to Annabella and then to Junction, but I am going to jump out of travel order and go to Fillmore next in my blog.  Fillmore Cemetery was my last stop, but it is where Amasa Loren Kenney's parents are buried so I think it will tie in better here.


Fillmore City Cemetery


I have to admit that by the time I got to Fillmore at the end of my 2 day journey I was getting tired.  I was grateful that this cemetery had an easy to follow map so I was able to quickly find my paternal 3rd great-grandparents, Loren Edward Kenney and his wife, Mary Ann Tucker.  They did not have a joint tombstone, but they were buried diagonally next to each other. In my PAF file, it shows Loren Edward Kenney marrying first, Hannah Nichols, and having three children with her and Loren marrying second, Mary Ann Tucker, and having one son, Amasa Loren Kenney.  I looked in New Family Search and found at least five children born to Amasa and Mary Ann, but three of those were the children from his first wife and the other one had a different surname.  Therefore, I did not add any new children to this couple. It is interesting to note that there was a 17 year age gap between Loren and Mary Ann Kenney.  I am not certain of their exact marriage date, but their ages at the birth of their only known son, Amasa, shows Loren was 43 and Mary Ann was 26.

It was interesting to find another relative that served in the Mormon Battalion, who fought in the Mexican War.  The above plaque was laid in the ground above his tombstone.  It is hard to see in the first picture because of the shadows.

A little west of Loren Edward Kenney's tombstone is the grave of Mary Ann Tucker, his second wife.  I did not see his first wife's grave as it was not nearby Loren's grave.

So this is it for this week. I still have what I believe is the best to come.  Visit my blog next week when I will cover the final two ancestors that I found during this trip in the Annabella and Junction Cemeteries.

Cemetery Tour - Day 1 Continued - Manti



I spent quite a bit of time at the Spring City Cemetery, eating my lunch and enjoying the sweet peace.  Therefore, I got to the Manti Cemetery late in the afternoon and by the time I found all of my ancestors the shadows were long, which made it difficult to take clear pictures of the inscriptions.  So I decided to stay over night in Manti and returned the next morning to take pictures before heading on to the next stop. 

Unfortunately, the temple was closed for cleaning for two weeks, but at least I could see this gorgeous view across the street from my fabulous motel, the Temple View Lodge.


Manti Cemetery


I have previously written posts on most of the ancestors that I found at the Manti Cemetery.  If you look through past blogs you can refresh your memory.  I found the following ancestors in Manti, John P. Squire (paternal ggf), John Prichard Squire and Adelia DeMIll (paternal 2ggf/m), Freeborn DeMill & Anna Knight (3ggf/m), and Cannie Christena Kenney Squire Peterson (paternal ggm), along with a few of their relatives.

The first Squire that I found was my paternal great-grandfather's firstborn, John Squire, born to his first wife, Annie/Anna.  Next to John's tombstone was his mother's, Annie, first wife of John P. Squire. On the other side of Annie was her daughter, Ruth.  Next to Ruth was my great-grandfather, John P. Squire, Jr.  These tombstones were all in a row facing east.  Across from John P. Squire on the east was his parents' tombstone, John Prichard Squire, Sr. and Adelia DeMill, facing west.

This is a view of the above mentioned tombstones.  The front left grave belongs to John Prichard Squire, Sr. and Adelia DeMill.  The front right, flat tombstone is John, Jr.'s and his two infants and wife are the three white tombstones south of his towards the temple.   Here they are up close:
This is the back of my 2nd great-grandparents' tombstone, John Prichard Squire, Sr. and Adelia DeMill.  If you recall, John Prichard Squire, Sr. was asked by Lorenzo Snow to look after his family while he served a three-year mission in Italy (see June post.)  It was hard to get a clear picture of this tombstone as the sandstone has weathered away.

Adelia DeMill's parents, Freeborn DeMill and Anna Knight, were found several rows away from the above, but still in Plat A.  You can read more about Adelia Knight DeMill in my Pioneer Ancestry blog from June.  It appears that I have not yet written about Freeborn DeMille.  I look forward to researching and blogging about him in the future.

 Anna Knight DeMill is the larger sandstone tombstone.  The writing is all washed out and the Daughters of Utah Pioneers have placed the following plaque over the original.  The flat tombstone belongs to her husband, Freeborn DeMill, also a Utah Pioneer and member of the Mormon Battalion.

Finally, I found my great-grandma Squire Peterson.  I have already written two blogs on Cannie Christena Kenney Squire Peterson.  I found it very telling to find my great-grandma buried next to her second husband, Frederick Walter Peterson.  He was buried with his first wife, Anna Thomine, and Cannie was next to them.

Manti was a gold mine as I found six ancestors along with a few of their relatives. It was a beautiful cemetery with a wonderful view of the Manti Temple across the street. So far on my road trip I have visited eleven of the sixteen graves in just three cemeteries.  Next week I will review the final five graves in four cemeteries.

Cemetery Tour - Day 1- Provo & Spring City

I had so much fun visiting the LaVerkin Cemetery a few weeks ago that it inspired me to locate the rest of my ancestors that are buried in Utah.  I located and identified my ancestors on FindAGrave.com and mapped out a cemetery road trip.  I spent two days visiting sixteen graves in seven cemeteries.  I had a blast finding and discovering new things about my progenitors. 

Provo City Cemetery

Edson Barney, my maternal third great-grandfather, is buried in the Provo City Cemetery, along with his first wife, Lillis, and their oldest daughter, Alice Malena Barney, with her husband, Alexander Wilkins, and Alexander's other wife, Eliza A. 




































 Edson Barney was following the law of plural marriage and his second wife, Louisa Walker, is the line that I descend from.  Louisa is buried in the Annabella Cemetery.  Edson and Louisa Walker Barney were "Aunt May's" grandparents.  To learn more about "Aunt May" (Mary Amelia Hunt) check out my previous post regarding the LaVerkin Cemetery.
As I mentioned, Edson had a shared tombstone.  I took pictures of each side as follows:

Spring City Cemetery

About seventy miles southwest of Provo is the small town of Spring City.  I was very excited to stop here as I had read on FindAGrave that I should find five of my ancestors buried in the Spring City Pioneer Cemetery.  This is a very small cemetery built in the shape of Utah with less than fifty headstones.  I walked back and forth hunting for my ancestors, but to no avail. 

   
 I left discouraged, but decided to ask at the gas station where the main Spring City Cemetery was located.  It was a few blocks away on West Hwy 117.  They had a nice map with all of the plots labeled and I was able to find all five of the ancestors I was hoping to locate!

The grave I was hoping to find first, I found last, but I will start with her first.  Cannie T.(Tullgren) Kenney is my paternal second great-grandma.  Cannie died ten days after giving birth to my great-grandma, Cannie Christena Kenney Squire Peterson.  She is buried a few rows west of her parents, Axel Tullgren and Ellen Neilsen, and her brother, Axel P. Tullgren (Uncle Axel).

John Prichard Squire, Jr.

John Prichard Squire - My Great-Grandfather
Born 9 October 1856
Died 18 August 1932

I have written about John P. Squire's wife, Kanney Christene Kenney, and his parents, John Prichard Squire, Sr. and Adelia DeMille. So I thought it was time to write about John Prichard Squire, Jr.  If you recall from previous posts, John's father, John P. Squire, Sr., was a Mormon Pioneer, who helped care for Lorenzo Snow's family while Lorenzo was serving a mission.  His mother, Adelia DeMille, was also a Mormon Pioneer, who crossed the plains at the age of 18.  I retell that as a reminder that John P. Squire, Jr. was born to great pioneer stalk.  John's father died when he was 15 years old.  He was the third of eight children and the oldest son.

I found an obituary from the Salt Lake Tribune posted on FindAGrave.com:
John Prichard Squire
MANTI—Funeral services were held Tuesday in the L. D. S. South Ward Chapel for John Prichard Squire, 76, who died Thursday at his farm five miles south of here.
Interment was in Manti City Cemetery. His body was not discovered until Sunday about 11 a. m., when neighboring farmers found his horses in the corral badly in need of water. A search of the premises disclosed the body lying head down in an irrigation ditch, where Mr. Squire had fallen when he had evidently suffered a heart attack.
A post-mortem examination disclosed the fact that death was not due to drowning, although his head was covered with water. His tracks leading from the house to the spot where his body was found showed evidence of having been made sometime Thursday, after the last shower.
Mr. Squire was born here October 9, 1856, a son of John P. and Adelia DeMill Squire. He married Elizabeth Walker in Perry, who died some years later. Two children were born to them, one of whom survives: Mrs. Leona Pruhs, Magna.
His third wife. Mrs. Christena Kenney Peterson Squire, survives, with a son and daughter: Mrs. Cannie Thorpe and Loren Squire.
-Salt Lake Tribune, Aug 26, 1932, transcribed by Rhonda Holton
John Prichard Squire Tombstone,
Manti Cemetery
John P. Squire married Anna Jones Ferre on 12 December 1888 in Manti, Utah.  They were the parents of four children, with only two surviving childhood, Leona and Gilbert.  It is my understanding from my grandfather's written history and my father's memory that my great-grandmother, Kanney, moved in with the family as a caretaker for the children and then later married John on 8 January 1897 in Manti.  At the time of their marriage John was 40 years old and Kanney was one month shy of being 19 years old (only ten years older than John's oldest child from his previous marriage.  

John and Kanney Christene had three children, Loren DeLance (my grandpa), Canny Mary, and Adrien Axel.  John and Kanney Christene were divorced by 1920 as Kanney Christene shows as the head of household in the 1920 U.S. Census in Manti, Utah. I could not find John P. Squire in the 1920 Census.   Kanney Christine married Frederick Peterson in 1922.  It is listed in Ancestry.com that John married Elizabeth Walker, but I do not know if that was his first or third marriage.  

Rhonda Holton who transcribed and submitted the above obituary to FindAGrave wrote the following:

John Prichard Squire is the son of Adelia DeMille and John Prichard Squire Sr.
He married Anna Kathryn Ferre December 12, 1888 in Manti, Utah.
They had five children: Ruth Squire, Leona Anna Squire, Ludwig Gilbert Squire, Gilbert Squire and John Leslie Squire. Anna died in 1895.
John married second Kanny Christene Kenny January 8, 1897 in Manti, Utah. They had three children: Loren Delance Squire, Canny Squire and Adrien Axel Squire.
He married J. Elizabeth Walker
Anna and John only had four children, Ludwig Gilbert and Gilbert was the same person. 

Here is a picture of the Manti Cemetery where John Prichard Squire is buried.  I hope to visit this cemetery soon!
