TOMBSTONES OF MT. PLEASANT CEMETERY

We are helping Zane Zabriskie with his Eagle Scout Project.  He is taking pictures of all the stones and submitting them to Gen Web Tombstone Project.  His older brother, Sebastian,  started this project a few years back.  My roll is to enter the data on a form and send it to UTGENWEB ARCHIVES.  I am one of many who are helping with this wonderful project. It is a great opportunity for us all to benefit and use the pictures here on the blog.

The following are from the Page Family.  There are no Page families currently living in Mt. Pleasant that I know of.  However, from the History of Mt. Pleasant, the Page Family was very active and influential in Pioneer times. These seem all to be children.  In Family Search,  Deseret Page is listed as both the father and mother; obviously wrong.  Grandfather was Daniel Page. Daniel Page appears on the Mt. Pleasant Pioneer monument as one of the original pioneers. It makes me sad as I wonder about their living situation; as these children were born in the late 1800s and lived only a short while.
