TILL MADSEN CARTER AND BYRON CARTER ~~~ (From our archives)

 

Posted September 21, 2012

I found this photo amongst Johanna's collection last night.

~~~

I sent the following photo to Dave Gunderson last night at 9:00 p.m., knowing it was a couple of his relatives; Til Madsen Carter and Byron Carter.  Both Til and Byron were originally from Mt. Pleasant. 

This morning I received the restored photo below and this message:

Dear Peter and Kathy,

I appreciate getting the picture of Uncle Byron and Aunt Till.

They were wonderful people. I think that Uncle Byron was the Bishop of Helper for 20 or 30 years.

I have worked on the picture and will attach both the original and the restored picture

for what ever you want to use them.

I appreciate all that you do and hope that you will continue to send pictures and articles as they come to you.

Thanks

David R. Gunderson

We genuinely appreciate Dave and all he does for us.  I think this is such a wonderful photo depicting a style used at the time of the photograph.

But also notice the photographer on the bottom:

  J.M. Boyden, Photographer, Mt. Pleasant, Utah.

This is one photographer I had not noticed before.

Even more amazing:

  Yesterday at the Relic Home, we had  some young girls come in looking for some history of their grandmother's home.  As it turned out, the home was built by 

J.M. Boyden

Most of this generation know this house as the Hans and Lois Poulsen home on 5th west.  

While the granddaughters were at the Relic Home, they told us that J.M. Boyden was the depot agent and he built it to somewhat match the depot which was just a half block away.  A lot of the gingerbread features were removed some time later.  

Any history on J.M. Boyden you can give us would be much appreciated. Did he

do his photography at the depot?  Was he the first Depot Agent? Did any of his 

children stay in the Mt. Pleasant area? Are there descendants living here or 

nearby now? 

Both Tudy and I know there are angels sitting on our shoulders as well as angels living on earth today

wanting to do all they can to support our efforts in preserving the history of Mt. Pleasant. 

Thank You All both on earth and in Heaven above !!!

DO THEY MISS ME AT HOME ~~~ Written by Mary Magaret Farquhar Cruickshank Morrison

 

This is one of Mary Margaret Farquhar Cruickshank Morrison Poems. She joined the LDS Church in Scotland and came to the United States with her husband, William; knowing she would never be able to return to her homeland and parents again.

Do they miss me at home, do they miss me?
It would be an assurance most dear
To know at this moment, some loved ones
Were saying, "I wish she were here."
To know that the group at the fireside
Were thinking of me as I roam.
Oh Yes t'would be a joy beyond measure
To know that they miss me at home.

When the twilight approaches the season
That ever is sacred to song
Does someone repeat my name over
And say that I tarry too long.
Or is there a chord in the music
That is missed when my voice away.

THE PIONEER by C.N. Lund

What faith he had, the Pioneer,
Who planted civilization here!

And how he wrought
And bravely fought

To chase the desert's frown away,
And make for us a better day!

What price he paid
That he might aid

Fair freedom and a home to win
And make a state worth living in.

We honor him,
Let nothing dim

The mem'ry of the Pioneer,
Unto the last we'll it dear!
