Journey of Faith Erick and Caroline Gunderson ~~~ by David R. Gunderson

With permission of David R. Gunderson, we include the following book to our blog.   I will do a few increments at a time, as I have done with the Andrew Madsen and James Monsen histories.  I will also paste the pages over to David's own blog page: http://davidrgunderson.blogspot.com/


This book will be of interest to not only the Gunderson Family but also to the BrothersonEricksenPeel,   Madsen, Larsen and more.

Moses Martin Sanders and wife Amanda Armstrong Fausett Family and Homestead built in Birdseye



You may remember the log cabin that sat by the pond on the west side of the road out in Birdseye.  I believe it was close to the boys home that was on the east side of the road.  

I was told years ago that it was built by my ancestor, Moses Martin Sanders and one of his sons.  Well, the following items match that story.  Moses Martin Sanders and wife Amanda Armstron Fausett Sanders did live in Mt. Pleasant for a short time and then decided to move to Fairview, and maybe a little further north.  He later moved to St. George to help build the temple there.  He died in St. George and is buried there.  I have visited his grave.  His wife, Amanda went further south to Arizona and is buried in an old pioneer cemetery  south of Payson Arizona.  I have also visited her grave there.  

The cabin in Birdseye suddenly disappeared and then I heard that it had been taken to Nauvoo and rebuilt there.  And below you can see  that it actually is there.  



My link to the Sanders Family is throug Emma Sanders Tidwell.  She married James Harvey Tidwell.

Thanks For All You’ve Done 

Happy Father’s Day, Dad. 
Thank you for all you have done. 
If there was an award for the best father ever, 
Then I’m sure you would have won. 
You’ve been my support 
Through good time and bad, 
I feel blessed indeed 
To have you as my dad!

My father was truly a very quiet loving gentleman.
