A placque downtown has some of the relatives names on it such as Pectol, etc. Grand Father is burried there next to the general authority of the time, Hancock. Grand Father was the first Bishop there and was sent to grow cotton. (He had in his ward, a person who was later the only person executed for the Mountain Meadows Massacure. The man was stood up against his casket, shot, and then fell in and buried right at the massacure sight.)

Upstairs a nice arrangements of pictures of early legislatures of early Utah. Brigham Young is in the middle with Grand Father William Hickman handsomely dressed, right next to the Prophet. I never did care for his beard until I saw him in this picture. He looked very distinguished.
