Bishop of Cedar Valley Ward from 1861 to 1881- Died in 1881

CEDAR VALLEY WARD, Lehi Stake, Utah Co, Utah consists of the Latter-Day Saints residing in the north end of Cedar Valley, which is a fine but poorly watered valley extending north and south for 22 miles; it is 7 miles wide. Cedar Valley comprises the west part of Utah County and is separated from the Utah Valley proper on the east by a low range of mountains, and from Rush Valley in Tooele County on the west by another low range of mountains. Cedar Fort and Fairfield are the only settlements in the valley and they are both small. As water is very scarce, dry farming has been tried quite successfully. Cedar Fort is situated in the north end of the valley, 40 miles by nearest road southwest of Salt Lake City and 15 miles southwest of Lehi. Most of the people in the north end of Cedar Valley reside in Cedar Fort.
Cedar Valley was first settled by Latter-Day Saints in October, 1852, when Alfred Bell and others located a settlement in the north end of the valley, which was called Cedar Fort. In 1853 other settlers moved in and on April 3, 1853, the saints who had located at Cedar Fort were organized into a ward called Cedar Fort Ward, with Allen Weeks as Bishop. Because of Indian troubles, the settlement was temporarily broken up three times, but a stone fort, 133 feet square, with walls ten feet high and four feet thick, was built in 1855. At that time the Church membership of the little settlement was 115 souls. Through scarcity of water the settlers in Cedar Valley have had a hard struggle to live, but the settlement nevertheless has survived all difficulties. Bishop Weeks presided until 1876, when he was succeeded by Henry F. Cook, who in 1882 was succeeded by Eli Bennett, who in 1906 was suceeded by William Cook, who in 1911 was suceeded by James E Garn, who in 1917 was suceeded by Orson E. Hacking, who in 1922 was suceeded by Jacob L. Hales, who presided Dec. 31, 1930; on that date the ward had 179 members, including 35 children.

1741 From the local newspaper:
FLIER VISITS LAGO ON FURLOUGH
Lago, Bannock County, Idaho
T/Sgt. Dallas Hansen, son of Mr and Mrs Alfred Hansen, arrived home Wednesday for a 3--day furlough.
He participated in the D-Day invasion flights and completed 33 (actually 38) missions over Berlin and Hamburg (and many other cities in Germany and France)in a B-17 named "Coral Princess"
Dallas, enginer-gunner, was decorated with the distinguished flying cross and air medal with three oak leaf clusters. Last winter he returned from Alaska and the Aleutian islands
He married Arlene Thomas of Paul Saturday. He will be stationed somewhere in the states following his furlough.

Bud remembers:
It was he and Dallas's job to mow the lawn and cut the suckers around the trees. This was no easy task because the lawn was about 75 feet long and 50 feet wide. They had to use a push mower. Finally they each got a pet lamb and tied them out on the front lawn which cut down on the chore.

Dallas was always very social and outgoing. If there was a school play Dallas was always in it, and mostly in the lead.

He and Bud had a telegraph they built. They sent each other messages in Morse code. They built a tree house in the back yard and would sleep out there sometimes in the summer time.

Dallas never did like to milk the cows so it was his job to feed the calves and seperate the milk while Bud milked.
During the depression the crops were affected and there was not so much to do.

Bud and Dallas went to SLC to visit Aunt Lois Gattrel and Uncle Cryus. Uncle Cyrus was the Librarian at the state capital so they visited the capital building . Bud and Dallas went up into the dome and could see all over the town of SLC. This was about 1934 and the town was not too big. They went all over on the streetcars- to the temple and tabernacle and Saltaire, but they didn't go swimming.

In 1936 the boys had again saved their money for a trip and got to visit Aunt Clara in Los Angeles. They went at Christmas time. Uncle Lee took them on a ride through Hollywood so they could see the homes of the stars. They went and saw the Naval yards. That was the year they were installing escalators so they had to try that out at Macys. They attended the Rose Bowl parade. Lee and Clara showed them a wonderful time.

Bud and Dallas helped with the sheep drives. Everyone in the valley who had sheep would put them together and drive them to Lanes Creek (a pasture owned by Leon Swensen) a distance of about 45 to 50 miles. They walked and rode horses. It took about 2 weeks to make the trip. Bud says this was in the early 30's. The boys helped herd the lambs for sale. When the buyer purchased the lambs he offered to take the family to dinner. That was the boy's first experience in "eating in a cafe".

Dallas saw the Army as a way to further his education, so he joined in 1939. He was sent to California for basic training. He had transfered by the time Bud got there in 1940.

On the 13 of February, 1942 Dallas was on a troop train that went thru Soda Springs. Unbeknowns to him, his mother, Adelia Dubois Hansen was having major surgery and passed away that day.

From Mary Ann Hildreth Hansen


Obituitary:

Dallas Alfred Hansen, 77, passed away on Thursday, April 17, 1997 at the Sunshine terrace (Logan, Utah)
He was born 25 April 1919 in Lago Idaho to Adelia Dubois and Alfred P. Hansen.

Dallas graduated from Thatcher High School in Idaho in 1937. He joined the Army Air Corps in 1939 and received an honorable discharge in 1945. He married Arlene Thomas and had twin sons. They were later divorced. He married Alta "Pat" Mathers, they had a daughter and a son, they were later divorced. He married Thelma Rasmussen (Bassett) in 1962 and became the "adopted" father of Thelma's five children. Their marriage was later solomized in the Logan LDS temple.

Dallas was very proud to have served his country as a "gunner" in the Air Corps in world war 11. He recieved numerous medals and displayed them on the many hats he wore throughout his life.

He worked for Utah Power & Light Co. for over 40 years. He was an operator at the Grace, Idaho and Salt Lake City plants and was superintendent at the Oneida Station in Idaho for several years before his retirement in 1981.

He was an active member of the Logan Eagles and Lion's Club for many years.

1742 Joseph Knight, one of the earliest members of the Church, was an American by birth, though the exact place and date of birth is not known. He was well advanced in years when the work of the Lord in these last days began to come forth . From the journal of his son, Newel Knight, it is learned that Joseph Knight Sen., married Polly Peck; that he moved into the State of New York in 1809, and settled on the Susquehanna river, near the great Bend, in the township of Bainbridge, Chenango county. Two years later he moved to Colesville, Broome county, NY, where he remained nineteen years. "My father," says Newel Knight in his journal owned a farm, a grist mill and carder machine. He was not rich, yet he possessed enough of this world's goods to secure to himself and family, not only the necessities, but also for the comforts of life. His family, consisting of my mother, three sons and four daughters, he reared in a genteel and respectable manner and gave his children a good common school education. My father was a sober, honest man, generally respectedd and beloved by his neighbors and acquaintances . He did not belong to any religious sect, but was a believer in the universalian doctrine." The business in which Joseph Knight, sen., engaged made it necessary at times for him to hire men, and the Prophet Joseph was occasionally employed by him. To the Knight family, who were greatly attached to him, the young prophet related many of the things God had revealed respecting the Book of Mormon, then as yet to come forth, So far at least was the elder Knight taken in to the Prophet's confidence that he purposely so arranged his affairs as to be at the Smith family residence near Manchester, at the time the plates of the Book of Mormon were given into Joseph's possession. Mr. Knight had driven to the Smith residence with a horse and carriage, and in this conveyance, according to the statement of both Lucy Smith, mother of the Prophet (see Lucy Smith's History of the Prophet Joseph Smith, chapter 23), and Joseph Knight sen., Joseph in company with his wife Emma drove away very early-- before daylight--on the morning of Sept. 22nd, 1827-- it is presumed, of course the Prophet drove to the hill Cumorah and there received from Moroni the plates of the Book of Mormon, etc. Mr. Knight remained at the Smith residence at Manchester, several days and was there the day Joseph brought home the plates, and in company with Joseph Smith, sen., and Mr. Stoal-- who was also present at the Smith residence in company with Mr. Knight-- went in search of those men who had assailed the Prophet while on his way home with the plates, but they did not find them. Joseph Smith in his history of Aug. 22, 1842, refers to Joseph Knight in the following endearing terms: "I am now recording in the Book of Law of the Lord, of such as have stood by me every hour of peril, for instance, my aged and beloved brother, Joseph Knight, sen., who was among the number of the first to administer to my necessities, while I was laboring in the commencement of the bringing forth of the work of the Lord and of laying the foundation of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter -day Saints. For fifteen years he has been faithful and true, and even-handed, and exemplary, and virturous, and kind , never deviating to the right hand or to the left. Behold he is a righteous man; may God Almighty lengthen out the old man's days; and may his trembling, tortured and broken body be renewed and the viggo of health turn upon him, if it be thy will, consistently, O God; and it shall be said of him by the sons of Zion, while there is one of them remaining, that this man was a faithful man in Israel, therefore his name shall never be forgotten. There are his sons , Newel Knight and Joseph Knight, jun., whose names I record in the Book of the Law of the Lord with unspeakable delight, for they are my friends."
("Mill. Star" 19:756.)

1743 Lars and Maria were born in Denmark -April 23, 1831 and 10 Nov 1838 his profession was a tailor. They were the parents of four children, three boys and one girl. Peter was the oldest and then came the twins Martha and Christen, and Julius was the youngest. They joined the Mormon church and wanted to come to America, but thry didn't have the money to all come together. They sent their oldest son Peter and their daughter Martha first. Peter was twelve and Martha was ten. They came to Mantua, Utah where they worked for their living. Peter herded sheep and Martha worked as a servant. Maria and the two younger boys came next. When Mr Hansen arrived they made their home in Odgen. Mr Hansen and the boys made their living by going to the canyon and cutting firewood. They hauled it to what was called the tie yard. This was located where the First National Bank now stands in Odgen. They sold the wood, thus making their living. Later they moved to Mantua where they made their living by herding milk cows, taking them out in the morning and bringing them home at night. They were paid accorded to the distance they had to travel; so much for the first canyon, more for the second canyon and so on. When the Jens Swensens and the Christen Mickelsens came to Gentile Valley, now Lago, in the fall of 1878, the Hansen's joined them on the journey. They homesteaded 40 acres of the place now owned by Jack Hubbard. Mr Hansen passed away 2 August 1898 and Mrs Hansen sold the farm to her son Julius. Her daughter Martha, married Neils Peterson and moved to Swan Valley. Mrs Hansen passed away 2 August 1918. She was buried in the Lago cemetary next to her Husband.

1744 Lars Peter Hansen was born in Halenslev, Denmark, the eldest child of Lars and Maria Larsen Hansen. He and his family joined the L.D.S. Church when he was very young. His father was the village tailor so they must not have had too much money. Nevertheless, he determined that his family would come to Zion. They all ended up in Mantua where they went into business herding milk cows for the community. They took them to the canyons north of Mantua. One day while herding the cattle Peter told of watching a wagon caravan crossing the canyon. They were laden with a baptismal font and the four oxen to hold it up. These were on their way to the new temple in Logan. Shortly after this they joined a wagon train heading for Idaho. It was no doubt at that time he first set eyes upon the small daughter of Christen and Maren Mickelsen. These two families and the Jens Swensens all settled in Gentile Valley. It was here years later that Peter began courting Taya Mickelsen and married her March 1, 1894.

Bud and Dorothy remember how good Grandpa Hansen was to them. At Christmas there was a little purse with 100 pennies. Dorothy remembers she and Phil sitting on his lap and learning to play pinochle. Grandpa told Dorothy she had to bid to win and we still see her bid on every hand. She remembers her and Phil staying with Grandma one time when they got into an argument and Phil was cut. Una and Grandma were so angry Dorothy and Phil ran away. Dorothy remembers Grandpa coming after them and buying them an ice cream cone to smooth things over. Bud remembers driving the header box for Grandpa and Grandpa bought him his first Stetson hat. They remeber Grandpa always loving and caring for them and givng them little treats. (From Bud and Mary Ann Hansen)

Dorthea (Taya) Mickelsen was born 21 November 1872 in Huntsville, Utah. the second child of Christen and Maren Anderson Mickelsen. They were one of the couples sent by Brigham Young to settle Huntsville. One of her first recollections of any thing of importance was when a neighbor came rushing to the door in tears with the news that "Brother Brigham is dead". She remembered her mother snatching up her baby sister Helmar, and rushing to the next neighbor with the news with a frightened Taya holding on to her skirts for dear life. Brigham Young was dead and the news spread like wildfire around the settlement. The cabins were built around a square at the center of Huntsville. Shortly after this, Taya, along with her family and others, moved to Idaho where they settled in Gentile Valley on what is now the Louis Bitton ranch. This was about 1878.
As soon as Taya was old enough she began working for other families who need help. By doing this she learned early the value of a dollar and hard work.

She was married to Lars Peter Hansen on 1 March 1894 at Lago. They had eight children: twins who died shortly after birth, two sons and four daughters, Alfred Peter, Emil Martin , Clara Molene, Ella Leona, Mary Edna, and Una May. Alfred was the oldest and Emil the youngest.
Pete bought the farm owned by Pete Lund and built a cabin there for his bride. The cabin was moved from another spot along the creek north of the present home in Lago. The logs were numbered on the cabin before it was dismantled, after which it was moved to the site prepared for it. It was then assembled again using the numbers on the logs to get the right ones in the right place. It still stands on the farm in Lago.

Six children were born in that cabin which had two rooms. Pete and Taya decided they needed more room so they built another home about a block straight east of the little cabin on the the site where the present Hansen home stands now. The two youngest children were born in the new home.
Pete and Taya worked hard to build up their farm. Coyotes were abundant and preyed on their sheep and cattle. Squirrels swarmed over their crops. Taya tells of battling squirrels with poison and she said they seemed to flourish rather than die out. Two growing boys who were sharpshooters with rifles soon made the coyotes keep their distance and along with the poison, soon made a dent in the squirrel population. Things soon began to get better and a bit easier and their perservance paid off.

Pete suffered a stroke and passed away at the age of 75. He was buried in the Lago cemetary.
Taya lived on another eighteen years to continue being the family focal point. She died November 23, 1958 at the age of 86. She was buried at her husband's side in the Lago cementery. Gems of Our Valley 1977 pg 391-392.

1747 Lutie Marette was born Aug. 1877 at Cedar Fort, Utah, now kmown as Cedar Valley. She was born in the home of her grandfather, Bishop Henry Freeman Cook. Brigham Young had sent H.F. Cook from SLC to serve as bishop, which he did from 1861 to 1881.
Her father William H. Bassett was sent there to manage a store for Z.C.M.I. It was here that he met the twin daughters of Bishop Cook, Janette and Marette. He courted Marette and married her Oct.7, 1876. Lutie is the oldest of their 7 children.

In those days there were many Indian scares. A rock fort was built for protection of the saints. It was about a half-acre square and the wall was wide enough for a steer to walk on top. The church was inside and provisions were stored and kept replentished for emergency use. She doesn't remember having to go there for protection herself but remembers her mother telling of being snatched up on the middle of the night and carried into the fort after the town had been warned the Indians were on the war-path.

When she was about four years old, her father and his brothers started operating a stage and freight line from Beaver Canyon (near Spencer, Idaho) to Yellowstone Park and other places. Summers were spend in the Park and winters in Cedar Fort.

The Bassett brothers homesteaded land in Lago, Idaho. When she was seven, her father moved his family to Lago and they spent a few more summers in the Park and winters in Lago. In the spring, Lutie's father along with others would round up their horses, which were around sixty head, and take their families and travel to Yellowstone for the summer. Their home in Beaver Canyon was so near the railroad tracks that the house would shake and rumble when a train went by.

Indians were also present in the Park, but they were not hostile. Lutie remembers one evening when her father was away and her mother was watching the children play, they looked up and was an Indian with his face pressed against the window pane. They looked at their mother but she showed not a sign of fear so they went on about their play as if nothing had happened. They had been taught to do this and when their mother seemed unafraid they thought there was nothing to be afraid of. However, experiences with the Indians in Cedar Fort had made them apprehensive and she remembers her mother always kept a pistol hearby and slept with it under her pillow when her father was away.

When wash day came along, they would take their clothes and tubs and soap to the hot springs to wash. The children went swimming in the warm pools while the folks did the washing in the varied degrees of water from warm to boiling. While the clothes were drying, the families sat in the shade of trees and ate their lunch.

Horse back riding was a pleasant pastime. She remembers her father and mother galloping down the road lined with stately pines. What a striking couple they were, mounted on beautiful horses - mother in fancy riding habit riding side saddle.

When it came time for school days, the family remained in Lago. Summers were spend attending the "Winn Elliott School" located on Whiskey Creek. With her two cousins, Don and Hattie Bassett, she walked three miles to school - occasionally the three rode Don's old black horse, Billy. Don took delight in tormenting the girls by going up the steepest banks and down the steepest hills. One day Billy surprised Don by putting his head down and they all went tumbling off head first.

As Lutie grew older and anyone needed help, they would call on Lutie. She spent two summers in Bear Lake helping her mother's sister, Aunt Hannah Quayle, cook for haymen. In those days they had a large crew of men for all three meals.

When she was sixteen, she went to Salt Lake City and helped her Aund Nett with her large family and attended school two winters. She passed the entrance exams to the University of Utah. All arrangements were made to enter when word came from her father that her mother was ill and she was needed at home. She came home by train to Franklin where a railroad stopped. She was met there by her father with a team and wagon.

The next year Lutie, Don and Hattie attended the A.C. at Logan. Lutie studied teacher training and received her certificate.

Again someone needed help so she packed her clothes and was off to Pocatello to help Aunt Holly with her newly born twin boys, Red and Willis.

Now it is 1899 and Lutie is a school teacher. she taught in Lago four years, Grace one year, and Cleveland two years. When she was teaching in Cleveland, her future husband came for her every Friday night with a fancy high-spirited team and a little black topped buggy. As they forded the river going to and from Cleveland, she recalls water running in the bottom of the buggy and they lifted their feet to keep them dry. The salary was thirty-five dollars a month. Twelve went for board and room. One year she received fort-five dollars per month and she made the down payment on her father's first white-topped buggy. She also bought a rocking chair for her mother shich is in her possions today. About this time, she homesteaded a place which is now the Ziegler place.

Her parents decided to wait until she was old enough to make up her own mind about joining the church. Therefore she was twenty years old when she was baptized in Trout Creek by Willard Hubbard and Jonathon Gibbs. Soon after this, she started work in the MIA. She was president for twelve years. She also worked on the Stake board. They traveled as far as Ivans with team and buggy to make their stake visits.

What a beautiful and happy bride Lutie made. She and Hiram Swenson were married at the home of the bride's parents, by the bride's father who was Justice of the Peace, on the 23rd day of April, 1901. Her mother made her wedding dress. It was a heavy brocaded silk with basque waist, leg-o'-mutton sleeves and a high collar trimmed with ruching.

The first year they lived at Joe Swensen's where on July 24, twins, a boy and a girl, were born prematurely and died. Later they lived on the corner where Oleorenshaws lived. They then built their own home over the hill on Whiskey Creek. It was a four room home built by Barnes Redeback, an uncle of Lutie's. Three children were born there, Nola Jenkins, Lorette Hansen, and Raymond Swensen.

When their oldest daughter was old enough to go to school they would put her on the old white horse and send her up over the hill to school three miles away. What a relief it was to Lutie when sh would finally see the horse's ears come up over the hill in the afternoom bringing her daughter home from school.

Around 1911 they bought the Lusher place and moved over on the east side of the hill. After a few years in the Lusher house, they decided to move the home from whickey creek over the hill. THis was accomplished with hard wood rollers on a track pulled by one horse on a stump puller. On the steeper places of the hill, they applied brakes by tieing wagon loads of rocks to the house. Then the house was on top of the ill everyone was invited to a very enjoyable party. They accomplished the task of moving the house without breaking a window or even cracking the plaster. Hitt Rodeback, son of the man who build the house, was the instigator of the moving plan.

When Lorette was ready for high school, Lutie moved to Logan with her three children. In the summer of 1924, she renewed her teachers certificate and taught school in Lago for two years. In 1929, her father died and Lutie and her husband took over the store and post office which her father had run for a long time. Her husband was appointed postmaster and she assistant postmistress. Over the years, her father had collected many many things which were stored in the basement of the store. The following spring they held a gigantic sale. What a sale it was! People came from all over the country and were not disappointed. There were hundreds of yards of materials - laces, bolts of ribbon, shoes, socks, underwear, and barrels of dishes of all kinds.

March 17, 1932 was a day of sorrow for her family because her husband passed away. He died on Thursday and was buried on Sunday. Then it seemed as if fate had more hardship in store for because her home burned down on Monday. All that was saved were the clothes they had on, a cedar chest, and her father's rocking chair. Then she moved into part of her parent's old home,which was now her sister Adelia's home. She lived there two years then built a new home where the old one had been. She and Raymond and his family lived here. She also build a small post office and moved everything up near her home.

As time went on, happy days were again Lutie's. On November 20, 1942, she married Alfred Hansen. She sold the store to Raymond and moved the postoffice back to Alfred's house. She and Alfred ran the post office. She retired in 1947, then Alfred became postmaster until the Lago office was discontinued.

She had six children, three now living; thirteen grandchidren, ten great grandchildren, five step-children and thirteen step-grandchildren.

What a beautiful life, all the ideals of womanhood have been so beautifully exemplified.


(This article was written by Lutie as her life history in order to be placed in a book of rememberance - She did not know at the time that the real purpose her daughter had in mind was for a M.I.A. program "This Is Your Life". The article was placed in the Grace Herald Thurdsay, March 1, 1956. Lutie passed away March 11, 1957.)
