Thanks to the impressive work of our board member Michael Farr (CEO of Farr Ice Cream) we have a re done statute of our famed ancestor Lorin Farr which faces East (and will not burn out as it did facing West) It is located in the Civic Center in a prime spot on Washington Blvd. in Ogden. Also thanks to you who have contributed to the completion of this noteworthy project. The statue was first dedicated by Lorin's grandson President George Albert Smith in 1947 and redone by our WFO in 1998.

Currently I’m nearly halfway done verifying the Winslow Farr Sr. 10 Generation Chart. The Olive Hovey Freeman half of the chart is about done and the other half left to do is the Winslow Farr Sr. side. I can’t even remember when we started to verify the chart but it was a while ago.
I'm working on the Crosby lines now and then will be finished soon with the Olive Hovey Freeman half of the chart. I have been un-sharing ordinances with the temple occasionally and doing them myself or with friends in the ward. If anyone one wants ordinances to do, please contact me at [email protected] and I will share them with you by email through family search. 13 ordinances were submitted to the temple system and numerous ordinances were completed during this time. I think more ordinances were completed during this time than any other two month period. On a side note, the Salt Lake Tribune did an article about our new ward building (Lisa was interviewed for it) being built in Colorado City. It's the first Ward building to be built in what was once exclusively FLDS territory. Everyone from Apple Valley, Hildale, Colorado City, Cane Beds, and Centennial Park will be part of this ward. We have over 700 members in our ward now. This is historic and the church is growing fast here. Some of the ancestors of prominent FLDS (previous) members have ancestors in common with our lines such as the Barlow line. Barlow is a common name in this area. |
