Vance told about his great-great grandpa who was
at Haystack Butte where Johnston's scouts counted
Mormon Soldiers all day (by telescope). They would
change horses, hats and clothing. Riding single file,
double file or in groups and go around the southeast
face of Haystack again. They did this all day while
being counted by Johnston's Army.















Brother Hollingshead talked about his ancestor
who built a lumber mill so people around the
area could build houses. He also assisted in
building a temple from this lumber mill.
