Frank Shumway, first counsellor: Burton R. Smith, Bishop: J. Morris Richards, second counsellor: and Albert M. Shumway, ward clerk. Bishop LeGrand Richards The planning, construction, and completion of the Winslow Ward chapel, as it is dedicated at this time, is the work of many people. Ward members have contributed cash and labor-more than $50,000 worth-many of them at quite a sacrifice, to make the enlarged ward building a reality. First plans were discussed as early as 1940 at an estimated total cost of $22,000.00. World War II arrived, bringing with it a scarcity of materials, and eventually, much to the dismay of the people of Winslow Ward, postponement of their building. After the War ended planning began once more and with approved plans, and an increased estimated cost of $32,000.00, actual construction began early in 1947, with H. V. Overson as contractor. Much of the early labor on the building was donated by members. Then for a time skilled w01kers were employed to get the structure erected to the point it could be used. Bishop Joseph L. Wirthlin B1shop Thorpe B. Isaacson This pag e SJ)0II S0red by R. JI. Brn chman and Son The building was essentially completed, according to approved plans, by the summer of 1950. Also completed was the project of enlarging the Chapel by extending it southward and creating a small assembly room for the Junior Sunday School on the ground floor and a choir loft and speaker's stand on the main floor.

Later Francisco Coronado, in his exploration in search of the Seven Cities of Cibola, called the river the "Rio de Lino," or River of Flax, because of the wild flax that grew along its course at certain points. Still later it took the Spanish name of Colorado Chiquito, meaning small red river. Espejo is assumed to h ave passed the site of present day Winslow on his return from the silver mines north of Prescott to Zuni in 1583. Possibly the Spanish governor Onate on his trip westward through the Hopi Villages toward the South Sea (Pacific Ocean) in 1604 passed near here. Capt. L. Sitgreaves and a surveying party crossed this way in 1851, and in 1853-54 Lt. A. W. Whipple was in charge of the Pacific Railway survey which is essentially the present route of the Santa Fe railway. Past the present site of Winslow also tra·,,eled Gov. John N. Goodwin, first of Arizona's territorial governo::-s, a few days after he had organized the territ orial government on December 29, 1863, at Navajo Springs. T he Mormons arrived in the Winslow area to settle along the Little Colorado, in March of 1876, stopping first at Sunset, about three miles east and nor th of the present Winslow. Within a few days Ballinger's camp, renamed B righ am City in 1878, was established west of Sunset and about a mile north A modern Winslow. This community was pract ically abandoned as a permanent settlement in 1881, becau se crops would not grow well in t he alkaline soil. Sunset lin gered for a few more years bu t was not as prosperou s as other settlem ents fa r ther up the river and its trib utaries. With t h e coming of t h e Atlan tic and Pacific Railroad in to nor thern Arizona in the autum n of 1881, a town grew u p on the present site of Win slow, receiving its name fr9m Gen E. F . Winslow, president of the St. L ou is and San Francisco Railway Company, a subsidiary of t he S an ta F e. By 1882 Winslow had a postoffice and had begun its car eer. In 1900 it became incorp orated under the laws of Arizona, and since that time has steadily progressed, principally as the h eadThis Page Six pag e sponsorecl by Lorenzo Hubbell Company ARCH B. CAMPBELL, first bishop of Winslow Ward, was born on February 29, 1896. He was the son of Frank Campbell and Annie Frost. He attended public school in Snowflake and then the Snowflake Stake Academy. He was married to Katie Morris of Safford following his church mission in New Zealand. He worked with his father in running livestock in the Snowflake area, and then moved io Holbrook where he opened a market. Later he moved to Wins low and engaged in the market business. Before he left Winslow for Phoenix in 1935, he had left the market business and was farming on the old Daze ranch just north of the city. quarters of t he Albuquerq ue Division of the Santa Fe Railway, but also as a center of livestock r a ising and more recently of lum ber man ufactu re .

He grew up at Jcseph City, Arizona, where his £<'.other was bishop for many years, and attended high school in Snc,wflake . He married Ruth Campkin Fuller on August 18, 1909, and went on a mission to the Southern States in 1916, reiurning in 1918. For a time he ~ngaged in cotton, farming near Mesa, but re:lurned to operate a farm <'ii Joseph City. He moved to Winslow to assist in the cpsration of the Daze Ranch which had been acquired by A. B. Campbell, Burton R. Smith and Dr. Alma Beck. Later he purchased the land known as Bushman Acres from Babbitts, and subdivided it, sold lots, and brought water to it from Chevalon Canyon. He moved to Provo. Utah in November 1939, to give his family the c,p-; icrtunity to attend the chur'ch university. ways and railroad because of its convenient location in relation to the famous Canyon Diablo, Meteor Crater and the Navajo and Hopi Indian country, The few members of the L,D,S. Church in Winslow at that time were either employed by the railroad or were in business serving the railroad employees . A Sunday School organizatio n had been <!ffected as early as February 10, 1924, as a branch of the Joseph City Ward Sunday School. Ezra R. Hatch was superinten dent and Burton R. Smith was his assistant, LEROY ARTHUR PALMER, third bishop of Winslow Ward, was born at St. Johns, Arizona. on August 3, 1911. the son of Arthur Palmer and Evaline Augusta Gibbons. He was married on June 12, 1939 in the Salt Lake City temple to Lucile Thomas. He moved to Winslow from the family home in Taylor to operate the Service Dairy. which occupation he was following when he became bishop on November 17, 1939. He served until he moved back to Taylor on June 29, 1941. where he has been engaged in dairying and farming since that time. He is now second counsellor to Pres. Jesse M. Smith in the Snowflake Stake Presidency. Meetings were held in Dr. Vernon Price's office in the old Elks Building. Relief Society was organized there on February 14, 1926, with Jessie Ballard Smith as president. Eliza M. Wakefield was first counsellor and Katie M. Campbell was second counsellor. Frances Bostwick was secretary. Bishop John L. Westover of the Joseph City Ward; his wife Adele B. W estover, president of the Joseph City Ward Relief Society; and Alof Larson of the Snowflake Stake Presidency were in attendance . As the membersh ip of the branch continued to increase, it became necessary to find a larger meeting place, and so the Community Hall in the Elks· Building (over the Central Drug store) was obtained. By the summer of 1927 it became apparent that a ward should be organized, with its own administra tive officers and auxiliary organizatio ns. The organizatio n took place in a building owned by J . C. Lathrop on Second Street about where the Chief Theatre is located in 1951. Stake missionarie s were responsible for the organizatio n, with Alonzo E. Bushman of Joseph City in charge. With him were other missionarie s, John R. Marquess, Fred Tanner, J. Virgil Bushman and Joseph L. Petersen, all of Joseph City. On August 26, therefore, in the Communit y Hall, Arch B. Campbell was set apart as bishop of the new ward, with Dr. Alma Beck as first counsellor and J. Virgil Bushman as second counsellor. Joseph Richey was named Ward Clerk. Later in 1924, with the growing membersh ip of the Sunday School, the Winslow Branch of the Joseph City Ward was organized, with Archibald B. Campbell as presiding elder. The organizatio n was effected by George F. Richards of the Council of the Twelve of the L.D.S. Church, with Stake President Samuel F. Smith and his counsellors in attendance .

He was a grandson of Loi Smiih, early Mormon pioneer of ihe Liiile Colorado valley, who was in charge of Sunsei colony near Winslow much of ihe iime ii was in exisience. Burien was engaged in livesiock raising as soon as he finished his schooling in Snowflake, having the ' responsibility o-f running the ranch after his father died w hen he was sixteen. He m arried Jessie Ballard in the Salt Lak e Temple June 10, 1915, and stayed on the ranch until 1921, when he moved io moved io Holbrook io assist in operating a markei. He became a special officer for the Sania Fe Railway on June 9, 1923, became chief special officer for the Albuquerque Division on July 5, 1940, which position he still holds. Formation of the ward brought an almost immediate realization of the need for a building of its own. A building committee was named and plans were started for a chapel building. Bishop Campbell and his two cousellors, and Burton R. Smith, Fred Willis and Arch P. Jensen were named to the committee to supervise the building project, including plans and other details. Ground for the building was obtained at the corner of Maple Street and Berry Avenue, and on February 26, 1928 ground was broken for the new structure. Pres. Samuel F. Smith of the Snowflake Stake dedicated the site for the erection of a ward chapel. Construction was under contract with Jack Hummel and the brick building was completed and dedicated on November 8. The dedicatory prayer was given by Rudger Clawson, of the Council of Twelve Apostles. Approximate cost of the chapel was $14,500. By January _l, 1928 there were 61 members in the ward, and $203.91 was paid in tithing by members during the first quarter of 1928. Reports indicated there were no poor members of the ward needing help from fast offering funds at that time.

Virgil Bushman was chairman, with Cecil Carmack, Frances Bostwick and Martha Hunt as members. Growth was rapid those first years. January 1, 1929 found a ward membership of 121, or a gain of 60 during the year. During the third quarter of 1929 Dr. Beck was released from the bishopric. J. V. Bushman was made first ~ounsellor to Bishop Campbell and Horace Hansen was set apart as second counsellor. Membership on January 1, 1930 had reached 189. On March 26, 1930, the ward clerk, Joseph B. Richey died following a long illness in the Veterans Hospital at Whipple (Prescott) . Garland F. Bushman succeeded him to the position of Ward Clerk on May 28. The basement windows of the building were screened during 1930 and petitions were signed to have the streets on the south and west paved. These were submitted to the City Council. Thi s pag e spo11sored by 1Vin s lrnr Tirnb er Coinpany Pag e Eleve n Reports for the f irst half of 1932 indic:ate that :many member s of the Ward were obtaining homes and land in Bushman Acres, a tract of land east of the city, op ened by J. V. Bushman. By January 1, 1933 the ward membership stood at 242, and activities were numerous on the part of auxiliary organization members. Markers were erected at the old Sunset and Brigham City cemeteries during the year, marking the resting places of those who died in the original Mormon settlements near here. The one at Sunset was placed with appropriate ceremonies on May 30, and the one at Brigham City on August 27 . Late in 1933 the Winslow Ward had begun holding services once each month at the Civilian Conservation Corps camp at Hart Canyon, south of here. In August 1934 a metal placque was placed on the marker at the Brigham City cemetery, with appropriate ceremonies, with Elder George Albert Smith and pi:rty from Salt Lake City in attendance.

P uge Th i rt een J. Virgil Bushman became bishop of Winslow Ward on May Bishop Campbell had accepted employment in Phoenix 1935. 19, and he and his family left Winslow after a farewell party attended by friends and church members from many northern Arizona communities . Horace Hansen became first counsellor to Bishop Bushman and Cecil Carmack was chosen second counsellor. A. M. Shumway continued as ward clerk. Late in 1935 the ward purchased a bus to be . used in traveling to and from union meetings at Snowflake. Early in 1937 the Ward undertook a security project-hon ey production in 10 hives of honey bees. Members assembled the hives and purchased the colonies oi bees. The Elders of the Ward installed a water line to the Church building in early 1937, also, and planted a number of Chinese elms for shade trees. Later in the same year members joined in purchasing half a carload of flour so that each family might have a year's supply on hand. Pressure cookers and canning equipment for canning of fruits and vegetables also were acquired by the Ward. It was during Bishop Bushman's administratio n that the Ward first considered the need for remodeling of the church house. During this administratio n, too, the members of the Elders' Quorum constructed a home for a widow in Bushman Acres for which she purchased the materials and the elders did all of' the labor. LeRoy A. Palmer was ordained as bishop of the Winslow Ward on November 17, 1939, when Bishop Bushman left Winslow for Provo, Utah. Bishop Palmer gave impetus to the proposed enlargement of the ward meeting house, and with his counsellors A. Frank Shumway and Clyde V. Rhoton, began raising funds for the project. During 1940 the plan to enlarge the church building received approval from the Presiding Bishop's Office and work was started by the architect on plans and specifications . These were just well underway when Bishop Palmer moved to Taylor and a new bishopric organized. Burton R. Smith was sustained as bishop of the Winslow Ward on June 29, 1941, but was r..o t set apart for the position until August 24, 1941, when Elder Harold B. Lee visited the stake for quarterly conference. Frank Shumway and Mason Bushman were chos~m as counsellors to Bishop Smith. Immediately the new bishopric took up the task of raising the estimated $22,000 that would be needed to enlarge and remodel the church building. However, just as the plans and specification s This pag(' sponsored b!J Parr l<'ou rf('e11 P('1111('11's were approved, World War II came and put ,a stop to all building of this nature. During the War years the Ward operated well but no unusual projects were undertaken as all energies were concentrated on war activities. In 1947, however, with restrictions raised from building materials the building project was revived. Nearly $10,000 had been raised by that time and so in April the first excavations were made for foundations for the new recreation hall and accompanying facilities. Building costs had gone up with rising prices, however, and so the new estimate of cost was $32,000 for the same building that had been approved more than six years earlier. Work proceeded with mostly volunteer labor from ward members, under the direction of H. Victor Overson, contractor. Because members of the ward were busy with their own work much of the time the amount of donated labor lagged at times and this caused the 'progress to be slowed on the whole project. At one place in construction the bishopric decided to hire some carpenters and helpers so that the roof could be placed on the structure and much of the cabinet work completed in order that parts of the new building could be used for church activities. The work continued for more than two years, with gradual progress made toward completion until by the first week in January of 1949 the ward was using the recreation hall, several classrooms, Relief Society rooms and heating plant. It had been decided to extend the chapel to accommodat e the growing ward, and as 1949 came in work was well under way on this addition. On Christmas Day 1949 the first meetings were held in the remodeled chapel. Priesthood meeting was the first session in the newly completed and decorated room. Sunday School, with 187 in attendance, held a special Christmas program. In the evening sacrament meeting the Bishopric gave Christmas messages to the members and the Ladies Chorus furnished Christmas musical numbers. As the new building approached completion and as plans were being made for its· dedication, Bishop Burton R. Smith paid a special tribute to his first counsellor, A. Frank Shumway. "Had it not been for the untiring efforts of Brother Shumway, being ready continually, week after week, to devote his spare hours to the construction of our building, and working long hours, often into the night, on all phases of the building from the foundations to the finishing touches, I sometimes fear we would not have had our beautiful building." This page sponsored b!J Winsloic Furniture Company Page Fifteen Josephine Pruett has acted as treasurer for the building fund since it was started, and Bishop Smith expressed appreciation for her fine work in keeping up-to-date records of all cash contributions. The bishop also expressed appreciation for the generous cash contributions and donated labor of the many members of the ward and friends of members, which made the building possible and cleared it of indebtedness so that dedication plans could go forward. During the past three or four years there has been an increasing interest in the Gospel by Indians in the Winslow area, and enough of them joined the church and became members of the Winslow Ward that a Relief Society was organized for them and other Indian women who were interested in such activities. Hortense Bowler was chosen to be president of the society, which operated for many months. Upon release of Sister Bowler from the presidency, Judith Chamema, a Hopi Indian, was made president, with Marian Atokuku as assistant. This organization filled a real need for a time, until the Indian members expressed the desire to meet with the regular Ward Relief Society. Production of hogs by members of the ward for the Church Welfare Program featured the years of 1949 and 1950. In 1951 the ward operated a small farm near Joseph City, where J. Delbert Hansen contributed the use of land and water. Corn and melons were raised and resulted in a considerable income for the Ward Welfare fund. During October and November of 1951 the Bishopric made many contacts in the ward and among the businessmen of Winslow to raise the necessary funds to pay all indebtedness on the building so it could be dedicated. They reached their goal and plans went forward with the Stake Presidency and the General Authorities of the Church for dedication on December 8, 1951. The total cost of the building, as it is being dedicated, since the remodeling and enlarging began, is $103,000, half of which has been paid in cash or labor by ward members and friends. The rest was paid from general Church funds . First Superintendent of the Winslow L.D.S. Sunday School when it was organized February IO, 1924. Ezra R. Hatch Sunday School As is often the case when a few L.D.S. families live in a community where employment has taken them from among fellow church members, the Sunday School was the first church organization to be formed in Winslow to bring an opportunity for these members to meet, partake of the Sacrament, and to study the Gospel. By February 10, 1924, there were enough church members living in Winslow to form a small Sunday School. Stake missionaries from Joseph City were primarily responsible for effecting the organization on that date. Ezra R. Hatch, formerly bishop at Holbrook, was made the first superintendent of the Sunday School, with Burton R. Smith as his assistant. These two served until after the branch was organized and even after it became a ward.

The Mutual Improvement Association w as organized as a joint organization of Young Men and Young Ladies in 1926, with J. Virgil Bushman as president, Letty A. Patterson as first counsellor, and Fred Willis as second counsellor. This arrangement was adopted because of the scarcity of available persons in the branch for officers, and because the membership was small. By the autumn of 1927 it was felt that the Young Ladies' M. I.A. and the Young Men's M.I.A. should be separated according to the church plan, and at that time Burton R. Smith was made president of the Young Men's M.I.A. with Arch P. Jensen as first counsellor and Ben L. Warner as second counsellor.

Mrs. Shumway is ward organ• ist, Mrs. Richards ward chorister and directer of the Ladies Mrs. Olmstead Chcrus, and assis:!:ant ward chorister and director of the Junior Chorus. Winslow Ward Ladies Chorus 1951 Ml1sic Activi ties Music has always played an important part in Winslow Ward, being a part of the program in all the auxiliary organizations , in the priesthood sessions and in Sacrament and Fast Meetings. History of musical activity in the ward, however, is rather scarce. Shortly after the Branch was organized, a project to raise money for a piano was started, with food sales being held in Arch B. Campbell's food market. Enid Haynes was the first organist for the Branch before the Ward was organized, while Mabel R. Shumway was the first Ward Organist, a position she has held ever since. Then du~ing the past three years a ladies chorus, starting with_ the Relief Society Singing Mothers, has furnished music for ~pecial_ occa_sions. This chorus sang for quarterly stake conference, m conJunct10n with the Joseph City chorus, February 27, 1949 at Snowflake, and has sung at Ward conferences on November 13, 1949, and September 10, 1950. It gave a recital in thf: ward chapel on May 12, 1951, and a few days later at Joseph City ward. The chorus, with Aloa D. Richards as director and Mabel R. Shumway as accompanist, is furnishing the music for the dedicatory services. Ward Choristers, in the order in which they have served, have been Cecil Carmack, Garland Bushman, V. Paul Richards, Cecil Carmack, Elizabeth Phelps White, Clair Slosser, Lee Lamoreaux and Aloa D. Richards. The latter two have served as chairmen of the Ward Music Committee, which was first organized July 20, 1947 with Lee Lamoreaux, chairman, Aloa D. Richards and Mabel R. Shumway as members. When Brother Lamoreaux moved from Winslow in 1949 Aloa Richards was made chairman with Mabel R. Shumway and Ila P. Olmsted as members. The records show that Aloa Richards was sustained as ward chorister in 1948 at Ward Conference, with Mabel Shumway continuing as ward organist. Ila Olmstead has acted as ward chorister during the past two years. During the time Clair Slosser was chorister, an excellent ward choir was developed.

D. S. church buildings . In many ways she has been one of the outstandi ng members of the Winslow Ward since its beginning . She was one of the first to take interest in genealogical work and motivate others to work in that direction. She served as a Stake Missiona ry and was responsib le for bringing a knowledg e of the Church and Gospel to many people, children as well as oldEffie Carmack er folks. She conducte d a Primary in her own home for children not members of the Church. In every situation , social or religious or cultural, she was a leader and teacher. For all of these qualities the Winslow Ward owes its. appreciation to her, but especially for "The Fisherma n" which will always be a constant reminder of her worth and work.

Virgil Bushman was bishop a plan was put into effect whereby members of the ward desiring to do so could join a burial fund for the purpose of having available sufficient money to take care of funeral expenses should a member die. Each family belonging to the burial fund paid $2.50 into the fund at the start, and then upon the death of any member, the total amount of the fund was immediat ely made available to the family of the bereaved with which to meet immediat e and emergency needs. Followin g the death of any member of the fund, e ach again paid $2.50 into a new fund to be held until another death occurred among members contribut ing to the plan. This fund continues to the present time, although there is now a reserve fund of equal size to provide for situations in which two deaths occur about the same time. During the years since 1941 , it has been paid out on account of deaths on at least six occasions . There are 40 members at the present time This Page Thirty-F01 1r page sp onsored by Starr J eic elers, E. E. Sturr and Glada Starr Thi s pagP SJ)OllSOred by .<;prousP-R Pit Z Compan _ lj. In c.

(Psalms I 17 l Praise Him for men, farsighted, true, who, having a dream, carried it through, purchased land, planned, dreamed, worked at what might have seemed a hopeless task . Praise Him for men, who catching sight of the dream, worked with courage, might, shoveled dirt, laid pipes and then, losing weariness, came back again to make that dream come true. Praise God for each non-member, friends, who, with generosity and devotion, lend a hand, encourage, support with labor, money, all sorts of loving gifts. Praise Him for men, who with their mates, work for the Lord and dedicate their time, their money, means to the fulfillment of that dream a chapel to God's glory. Praise Him for that Chapel, lovely, serene, where man may worship, glean wisdom, faith, fulfillment, joy, education for each girl and boy, and rest from worldly cares. Praise Him for the opportunity, the chance for providing sports, drama, d·ance, developing talents and skills, teaching how the Gospel fulfills to our precious youth. Praise Him for that youth, hope of Zion, future leaders with their eye on higher goals - learning, growing, building testimonies, and knowing that God lives. Help us Lord, who sin each passing day, to live our lives in such a way that we may pass to others this feast of blessings - this joy - this peace Peace that passeth understanding. -Rosemary Kutch Harold B.

Page Nine HISTORY - The organization of the Winslow Ward was not the beginning of the history of the Latter-Day Saints in Winslow. Their history dates back to 1875 when Brigham Young sent exploring parties to start new settlements in Arizona. Lot Smith, along with his party, settled across the Little Colorado River, naming the place Sunset. Another settlement was started just north of Winslow by Jesse Ballinger and was called Brigham City. Their stay was shortlived as crops were poor and a flood came destroying the dam. The community was abandoned in 1881. Sunset lingered a few more years; then, the pioneers, being discouraged, moved elsewhere to make their homes. A little cemetery and monument marks the spot across the river. About fifty years later during the latter part of 1922, a number of Latter-Day Saint families came to Winslow to accept employment with the Santa Fe Railroad Company. It soon became apparent that there was a need for religious training for their children and on February I 0, 1924 a Sunday School was organized by Stake Missionaries from Joseph City. Ezra R. Hatch was chosen as superintendent with Burton R. Smith as his assistant. The meetings were held on East Sec· ond Street in the 200 block. As the membership grew, the Winslow Branch of the Joseph City Ward was organized late in 1924, with Arch B. Campbell as presiding Elder. As the members increased, they moved into the community hall over the Central Drug Store. It was in this hall that the Winslow Ward was organized in August 26, 1927 by Elder George F. Richards. Arch 8. Campbell was sustained as Bishop, with Dr. Alma Beck as first counselor· and J. Virgil Bushman as second counselor. Joseph B. Richey was set apart as Ward Clerk. The growth of the church soon required a meeting house, a place of their own dedicated unto the Lord. In February, This page sponsored by Hunt's Feed & Supply Page Ten 1928 ground was broken for the erection of a new chapel on the corner of Maple Street and Berry Avenue. It was dedicated on November 8, 1928 by Apostle Rudger Clauson. The approximcJte cost of the building was $14,000.00. There were sixty-one members at this time. In 1932, Ward Clerk Joseph 8. Richey died and was replaced by Garland F. Bushman. He soon moved away and was succeeded by J. Morris Richards who later in the same year moved also. On August 14, 1932 Albert M. Shumway was sustained to this position and served as Clerk for some twenty six years. Early in May, 1935, Bishop Campbell and his family moved to Phoenix; he was succeeded by J. Virgil Bushman, for whom Bushman Acres was named. Horace and Cecil Carmack were sustained as his counselors. Four years later on November 17, 1939, LeRoy A. Palmer was set apart as Bishop with Frank A. Shumway and Clyde V. Rhoton as his ocunselors. Manson Bushman later replaced Clyde Rhoton. The membership of the ward had increased considerably and it was during this time that Bishop Palmer began raising funds to enlarge the present churchhouse. -Continued on next page Burton R. Smith was sustained as Bishop on June 29, 1941, with Frank A. Shumway and Manson Bushman as counselors. The ward building was enlarged and completely remodeled and dedicated during this period. From September 1952-1962, the Winslow Ward enjoyed the leadership of three different Bishops: J. Morris Richards, serving three years; Cecil Allen, two years; and Joseph D. Richards, five years, assisted by their counselors, A. Frank Shumway, Ralph Lee, Charley W. Hardy, Joseph D. Richards, and Jerry Graham, respectively. In these years the seminary program got in full swing. The Lamanite Branch was organized, and a new wing was put on the chapel. Foreseeing the growth of the church, four acres located on Warren Avenue was purchased for a future chapel. On September 23, 1956, Flagstaff Stake came into existence, after there had been several preliminary meetings with the communities which would comprise the new area. Members of the Winslow Ward were given the opportunity to join the Flagstaff Stake or stay in the Snowflake Stake. Their decision was to become part of the Flagstaff Stake. January 5, 1958 Albert M. Shumway Continued was released as ward clerk and Harry James Fuller was sustained. He held this office until Sept.e mber 24, 1961 and: was replaced by Joy T. Rencher. Bishop Richards and his counselors were released on September 9, 1962. Harry Gibbons Hancock was sustained as Bishop, with Thomas A. Whipple and Vaughn L. Brimhall as his counselors. They were set apart by Elder Joseph Fielding Smith, now president of the church. Thomas A. Whipple was released a little over two years later to become president of the Lamanite Branch, and Vaughn L. Brimhall was sustained as first counselor and Hubert R. McHood as second counselor May 3, 1964. Sadness came to the ward on March I st 1969 at the death of one of their leaders, Hubert R. McHood . Bert Sorensen was chosen to replace him on March 16, 1969. On September 20, 1970, the Winslow Ward was divided into two wards, making a first and a third ward. The dividing line was Berry Avenue, all East of there belonging to the First Ward. Those chosen to lead the First Ward were: Harry G. Hancock, Bishop; Pe"rcy E. Hancock, first counselor; Me·rwin DeWitt, second counselor; Larry Smith, Ward Clerk and Norman Pruett, Financial Secretary. On November 22, 1970 the Holbrook Stake was organized comprising Holbrook, Joseph City, Woodruff, Win,slow, Greasewood, and Indian Wells. The first conference of the Holbrook Stake being held this day, March 7, 1971 in the new Winslow Chapel. There is much more to the history of Winslow Ward than the changing of officers. Many welfare projects have been completed; seminary classes are held five days a week, missionaries have gone to all parts of the world, the auxiliary organizations, the priesthood quorums, home teaching, genealogy and the family night -Continued on next page This page sponsored by Central Drug Page Eleven HISTORY - Continued programs keep the members busy and spiritually uplifted. All has not come easy to the Winslow Ward. It has come a long way from the first sixty·one members. It has increased from the little congregation on Second Street to what Bishop Hancock lovingly refers to his fold as the "Garden of Eden." A membership of over seven-hundred WINSLOW THIRD WARD EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Saints. The congregation having grown so large that it filled the chapel to overflowing. In 1962 it became apparent that it was time to think about building the new chapel on the four acres on Warren Avenue. After several years of hard work and money making projects the starting fund of $72,000 was raised. On April 12, 1970 the ground-breakin g ceremonies were held.

The purpose, to make the mem~ers aware of the financial status of our building fund. It was reported that $50,000 was needed by the 24th of February, just three days away. The faith and devotion of these leaders touched the hearts of the members and This page sponsored by Culllgan Soft Water-Cal Parson Page Twelve through their love for God and their inspired leaders the money was given by the designated time,. "Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or What shall we drink? or Wherewithal shall we be clothed? - But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his right.e ousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Matt. 7:31-33. Eleven months after the groundbreaking the building is completed and dedicated unto the Lord. The dream has become a reality. Instead of one ward there are two wards to enjoy this beautiful chapel. The Lord has blessed us.

Everyone has the right to be well trained so he can return to his Father in Heaven and receive his birthright-which is to share in the glory of his Father's kingdom. Teaching is no mere job. It is a sacred calling, a trust of the Lord Himself under the divine injunction, Feed my sheep (John 21: 15). For the teacher who has caught a glimpse of her real responsibility, there is no indifferences or feeling of unconcern about the wellfare of her pupils between lessons.

We believe that the rendering of useful service is the common duty of mankind and that only in the purifying of the fire of sacrifice is selfishness consumed and the greatness of the human soul set free; that the individual's highest fulfillment, greatest happiness an widest usefulness are to be found in living in harmony with His will. In September 1842, the Prophet Joseph Smith emphasized to the church at large the importance of being accurate and precise in recording information relating to vicarious tem· pie work. After specifying the manner in which this accuracy was to be achieved he wrote: I D&C 128: 5-71 "You may think this order of things to be very particular; but let me tell you that it is only to answer the will of God, by conforming to the ordained and prepared before the foundation of the world, for the salvation of the dead who should die without a knowledge of the gospel." "And further, I want you to remember that John the Revelator was contemplating this very subject in relation to the dead, when he declared, as you will find recorded in Revelation 20: 12. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works."

"NOW LET US REJOICE" Now let us rejoice in the day of salvation. No longer as strangers on earth need we roam. Good tidings are sounding to us and each nation, And shortly the hour of redemption will come, When all that was promised, the Saints will be given, And none will molest them from morn until Ev'n, And earth will appear as the garden of Eden, And Jesus will say to all Israel, "Come Home." We'll love one another and never dissemble, But cease to do evil and ever be one. And when the ungodly are fearing and tremble, We'll watch for the day when the Savior will come, When all that was promised, the Saints will be given, And none will molest them from morn until Ev'n, And earth will appear as the garden of Eden, And Jesus will say to all Israel, "Come Home."

Then all that was promised, the Saints will be given, And they will be crowned with the angels of heav'n, And earth will appear as the garden of Eden, And Christ, and His people will ever be one.

The latter-day glory begins to come forth; The visions and blessings of old are returning, And angels are coming to visit the earth. "For Zion must increase in beauty and in holines s ; her borders must be enlarged; her stakes must be strengthened, yea, verily I say unto you, Zion must arise and put on her beautiful garments." D&C Refrain: We'll Sing and we'll shout with the armies of heav,e n, Hosanna, hosanna to God and the Lamb! Let glory to them in the highest be given, Henceforth and forever; Amen and amen! The Lord is extending the Saints' understanding, Restoring their judges and all as at first. The knowledge and power of God are expanding, The veil o'er the earth is beginning to burst. Refrain: We'll call in our solemn assemblies in spirit, To spread forth the kingdom of heaven abroad That we through our faith may begin to inherit The visions and blessings and glories of God. Refrain: How blessed the day when the lamb and the lion Shall lie down together without any ire, And Ephraim be crowned with his blessing in Zion, As Jesus decends with his chariot of fire! Refrain: 1llrhtrattuu Let us now, with earnest hearts and with exalted faith and hope, solemnly consecrate this building to its high and holy purpose. May those for generations to come gather in this place and receive instruction in the knowledge of God and His ways. May they find here every condition necessary to help them find the truth conducive to an exalted life. Especially, may those who have been chosen to lead and to teach b~examples in character, seekers after goodness and truth, lovers of their fellowmen, and enthusiasts in the development of the human soul. May they have the spirit of the Gospel and be powerful in the testimony of the truth that they might implant a love for thee and thy works in the hearts of all whom they instruct. May these rooms always be kept sacred, having the reverence necessary for the spirit of our Lord. May no person pass from these doors without having been made more thoughtful, more courageous, more virtuous, and in every way more capable of living a more Christlike life. To this end, may the blessings of God be upon child and parents, upon pupil and teacher, upon every leader , and upon everyone whose influence will in any degree affect the work of our Heavenly Father as it shall be conducted within these walls. -Monreve Hardy This page sponsored by Bob's Welding, R.
