William F Re[y]nolds Anna Renolds Enis Renolds George W Renolds Levi B Renolds, 5 in family, 1 wagon, 4 cows.

The following are excerpts from Mt. Pleasant History by Hilda Madsen Longsdorf:


Fortunate were the pioneers in having among them so many fine musicians, who willingly contributed their talents toward the amusement of the colony. John Waldermar played the violin, flute,

and cornet. James Hansen, who prior to his coming to Mount Pleasant, had belonged to the Brass Band in Salt Lake City, also played the violin, flute and cornet. Lars Nielsen, known as Lars Fiddler, played by ear, became very popular and had many
invi­tations from other settlements to locate there. He, with John Waldermar and James Hansen, played for all the important gatherings held in Mount Pleasant during the first sixteen years.

Among other prominent pioneer musicians, who also contributed necessary pioneer music were Levi B. Reynolds, violinist; George Nielsen, tambourine; Orin Clark, the Jaw Bones of an Ox on a stick; Alma Staker, Bone Clapper; Rudolph Bennett, Triangle; Bent Hansen, Bass Fiddle; Soren Hansen, Clarinet; Andrew Bram­sted, Violin; and August Mynear, Violin.  p.63

November 21st, (1863) the 66th quorum of Seventies was organized at a meeting in the home of John Tidwell, Sr. The following were chosen as Presidents: Henry McArthur, P. M. Peel, N. Peter Madsen, Levi B. Reynolds, Orange Seeley and Nelson Tidwell.  p.82

During this year John Fredrick Fechser, William and Levi Reynolds erected a flour mill on Pleasant Creek, about midway between Main and First North on First East, just above the old fort, Pleasant Creek affording the water with which to operate the mill This' mill was known as the City Mill and was operated for a number of years by Mr. Fechser, who later sold to the Reynolds Brothers, and the mill became known as the Reynolds Mill. It was built on the north side of the stream with a spillway on the south side. The water, passing into a tunnel, furnished power to run a chopping mill, owned by August Lundberg, west of State Street. p133

In 1884, a group of jolly young people left Mt. Pleasant in five covered wagons, each carrying a bride and bridegroom to be, for they were all enroute to Salt Lake City to be married and had decided to make an outing of the trip. At Thistle station, where they camped the first night, they were caught in a heavy snow storm, and later in Salt Lake valley the drifted snow covered all traces of the road. They had to dig one wagon, not belonging but traveling with the group, out of the snowdrift. They camped the second night at Dunyons, and were three days on their trip to Salt Lake City, where, on the 14th day of February, they were married. The couples were: Wm. D. Candland and Annie Peel, Bert Rey­nolds and Emily Rosenlund, (This is the son of Levi Burt Reynolds) Edward Day and Maria Johnson, Silas McArthur and Stena Jensen, Richard H. Spencer and Annie Reynolds. Their return trip to Mt. Pleasant was made by way of Salt Creek Canyon. Returning home, they gave a wedding dance in the dance hall over the Co-op Store, to which almost everyone in Mt. Pleasant was invited. p 162


They proposed to get a church bell before the next year. A committee was appointed to get men and teams to level the north side of the church square, and to further beautify the grounds by planting suitable shade and pine trees. A committee was also appointed to supervise the painting of the fence." Note: The fence was built by Levi and William Reynolds, and was extra high. p164

Boyd Hafen "Dutch" 1927 Enn Ess Aitch Yearbook

Fergus Clifford Rosenlund Graveside Service ~ He died August 19, 2003

Female Relief Society March 6, 1876

Meeting held March 6th 1876.  Opened with singing  "O Saints Have You Seen On Your Mountain Tops".  Prayer by Sister Hemmit (Hemmert). Minutes of former meeting read and accepted, also reports of donations and disbursements.

Sister Morrison was pleased to meet with the Sisters and glad to see so many present, and that all wanted to unite together and take a lively interest in doing good in every possible way.

Also that the mothers would encourage their daughters to attend their meetings with punctuality that the older sisters might feel encouraged in striving to do them good.

Also that the sisters in going round would remember the emigration (fund) as it was the wish of Sister Young that the people should try and make an effort to help out the poor and the honest in heart, that they might have a chance to show what they could endure for the Gospel's sake. 

Sister Simpson was glad to meet with the sisters and be able to talk of the blessings we receive day to day; we had also great reason for  thankfulness that the servants of the Lord had been sent the everlasting gospel and bring us to the Kingdom, and rejoice in the blessings of the Last Days; prayed that te  Lord would help us to be faithful, that by putting all our mites together it would soon help to bring out the "honest in heart"; that this was the gathering dispensation and i was our duty to help gather them home before the Lord begins to pour out his vials of wrath upon the nations of the earth.

Sister Christensen felt well and hoped that the Lord would give her strength to go around and do all the good she could; she felt to sustain Sister Morrison and her counselor's and all that were placed in authority and prayed that the blessings of the Lord would be upon us Eternally.

Sister Hemmert bore her testimony and felt well and liked to come to Sister Meeting and was desirous to do all the good she could.

Sister Rasmussen also felt well.  She had been round visiting and said that the people generally felt well. 

Sister Peterson said it was now stormy and bad walking and now was the time to test our faith.  She was glad to be here and to e able to do a little every day; that if we do the will of our Father as far as we are able, it will amount to a good deal that the Lord had made manifest His will to us and it was our duty to work therein, if our hearts were right before Him, he would enable us to overcome every difficulty.

Sister Sorensen spoke in Danish.  Sister Johansen also felt well.  Sister Josephson bore her testimony, prayed that the Lord would bless us all in inasmuch as we wanted to serve in humility.  Sister Lovegreen felt glad to be present and thought the sisters would all enjoy a better spirit by attending the meetings.  She hoped the Lord would bless her husband and her children inasmuch as they tried to do His will and keep His commandments. 

Sister Frandsen said she felt it her duty to mingle her testimony with the rest of her sisters.  She had been round visiting and was well received and the people all felt well and was willing to assist in helping the poor.  She said if we could but keep the good spirit, even if we had trials to contend with, the Lord would help and bless us, for He had said He would have a "tried people", and we have no right to expect to be without trials.

Sister Rosenlund felt well and hoped that the people would donate freely to help the poor from the old country.  Sister Fitcher (Fescher) was glad to be present.  She rejoiced in the knowledge she had of the Gospel and thanked God for the blessings which were daily bestowed upon us.  Sister Nabilla (?) bore her testimony in the Danish language and Sister Jensen hoped the Lord would give her the strength to overcome the weakness of her nature; that we might try to do to others as we would like to be done unto.  She knew this was the kindness of God, or she would not have been here; prayed that the Lord would help brother Brigham and give him power over his enemies.

Meeting closed with singing "All Praise to Our Redeeming Lord".  Benediction by Sister Simpson
