Clifford LeRoy Menzies 

Clifford LeRoy Menzies is another uncle  of mine. He was born Aug. 9 1925 at Coal Canyon, Carbon County but grew up in Mt. Pleasant and always called it his home. He died June 16, 1993, he is buried by his brother Bob in Mt. Pleasant. He was in the 2nd world war, in the navy and on the USS Iowa. It was a new design that made the Iowa class the most powerful ship in the world at that time. it earned 9 battle stars in the 2nd world war plus other decorations. It served our country for 50 yrs. It was designated the worlds Navel ship because of their big guns, they could also shoot nuclear shells.The Iowa, New Jersey, Wisconsin and Missouri were all this class.

Kathy and Peter: 

My dad was born and he died in Mt. Pleasant, he had good jobs , but he was always thinking of home. You could see him when he was working some where else, look at the mountains and know he was not happy no matter how much he was being paid. His job he liked most was herding sheep, and he worked for some real good people and they were all happy to have him. He was also a 2nd world war vet. this one is my dad, my brother Cork and me.

I was and am proud of my dad.  I am proud to have grown up in Mt. Pleasant.

Les Seely and other family members were in Mt. Pleasant this past month for a dedication of a memorial bench in the cemetery honoring two handcart pioneers who did not make it here.  It was a grand event and many came to the Relic Home as part of the activity.   

Les said he would send these articles and  pictures  of his Uncle Les Menzies to us.  We are proud  of Les Menzies  and all our soldiers who have served in all branches of the military.   

If anyone has photos of relatives and newspaper articles that you want to share please do so .  We believe that this is one way to  preserve Mt. Pleasant history through this blog for future generations.   Our email is: pandk@cut.net
