Ross Nordell, (Former Sanpete County Deputy Sheriff ) Has passed On

Ross Nordell 

Ross Nordell

Manti, Utah

On the beautiful day of June 19, 2019, the Nordell family, Sanpete County and the world lost a father, a grandpa, a friend, a hero and a legend when Ross A. Nordell walked outside to hear Jesus and his beautiful bride Virginia call him home. He passed away at his home in Manti.

Ross was born May 30, 1930 to Alvin and Delores Swasey Nordell in Ferron Utah. He joined the US Army in 1945 at the age of 15 and served during World War II until 1947. He married his childhood friend and love of his life, Virginia A. Fredricksen on January 29, 1949 in Castle Dale, Utah. Together they had two sons, Larry and Lyle. Virginia preceded him in death October 24, 2017. He missed her dearly and looked forward to the day that they would once again be "Side by Side".

Ross served as a deputy sheriff with Sanpete County for 12 years while also serving with the Sanpete County Search and Rescue. He is known for loving his family, his country, our military, his poetry and love of Jesus. His walking sticks sit in the homes of all those he loved. He loved the outdoors and was riding his four wheeler up to the day he left us. His pride was his two son’s and their wives whom he called daughters.

He leaves his legacy behind to his two sons and daughters: Larry and Carolyn Nordell, Manti; Lyle and Arlene Nordell, Hurricane; grandchildren: William Nordell, Germany; Joette (Mark) Thompson, Sandy; Cody (Bonnie) Nordell, Manti; Brandon (Heather) Nordell, Texas; Ryan Nordell, Hurricane; Mickey (Jamie) Nordell, Payson; 25 great-grandchildren and 10 great-great-grandchildren; his sister-in-law, who visited him daily, Judy (Frank) Hallman, Manti; and many friends. Ross will be missed dearly by all who knew and loved him.

Preceded in death by his parents and all of his siblings: Dean, Buster, Dewey, Randy, Lavonne, Echo and Roma.

Cremation services have been held. Memorial services will be held Saturday, June 29, 2019 at 1:00 p.m. at Ross’s residence, 580 South 300 West, Manti. Friends may call prior to services after 12:00 Noon. Burial will be in the Manti City Cemetery with military honors by the Manti American Legion Post #31. Funeral Directors: Magleby Mortuary, Richfield, Salina and Manti.  

As Grandpa always said before we departed, "Pahtakay Vassum Witchakeen Kunoos" (I'll see you again Granddaughter and Grandson ).

RULES FOR TEACHERS 1872

Reverend Duncan McMillan Acknowledged Gratefully The Unfailing Kindness of the People of Mt. Pleasant

 Reverend Duncan McMillan Acknowledged Gratefully, The Unfailing Kindness of the People of Mt. Pleasant 

Utah in general was a safe environment for denominational emissaries. There were no Presbyterian martyrs. All ministers and teachers who died in Utah did so of natural causes rather than at the hands of hostile Mormons.88* It is also apparent that a few Presbyterian ministers sensationalized their experiences in order to attract public attention to missionary activities in Utah. Indeed, in the case with Duncan McMillan, it is possible to trace how descriptions of encounters with Mormons increased in detail and intensity as they passed from oral tradition to printed word. Tellingly, McMillan’s Presbyterian colleagues in Salt Lake City were so alarmed at his inflammatory rhetoric that they purchased and burned copies of The Rocky Mountain Presbyterian in which one of his sensational articles appeared.89** It took nearly three decades before McMillan clarified details about his oft-repeated Bible-and-revolver episode. In 1903, en route to a meeting in Los Angeles, McMillan visited Salt Lake City and reprised his dramatic story at the Presbyterian-related Salt Lake Collegiate Institute. Confronted by local reporters with eyewitness accounts that contradicted his version of the event, McMillan finally acknowledged an element of exaggeration in his account. “That remark is a metaphor,” he admitted. “I did not go into the pulpit with a drawn pistol, but I went armed. One of the officials of the Mormon Church told me that my life was in danger, and advised me to go armed. I knew that I was in peril, and at the time this friend spoke to me, I had already taken the precaution to provide myself with a pistol. I was determined I would not bite the dust first.”90*** Shortly before he died, McMillan wrote a narrative of his years in Mt. Pleasant that presented a different scenario than the one he offered during the early days of his ministry. While affirming that he faced opposition to his educational ministry in Mt. Pleasant, McMillan offered this revealing statement. “I cannot close this letter without acknowledging most gratefully the unfailing kindness of all the people of Mt. Pleasant. The threats and attempts upon my life were from authority high up in the church. Some of the local preachers in duty bound uttered threats and used scurrilous language about me, but they were always personally kind and were most courteous in their treatment of me, so that I have most pleasant recollections for all who live there.”91****While this, too, might be deemed an exaggeration of an old man, it does provide a caveat to published accounts of his encounters with Mormons in Mt. Pleasant.The Journal of Mormon History +++ 86San Pete Stake, Tabernacle Meeting Minutes, October 2, 1892.91Duncan J. McMillan, Letter to Mrs. H. F.

Joseph Friend Burton and Nancy Brooks Burton ~~~ Pioneers of the Month ~~~ August 2019

Joseph and Nancy Burton

Joseph Friend Burton was born in Yorkshire England, the son of Joseph  and Eliza Cusworth Burton on June 2, 1849. His father and mother embraced the Latter Day Saint Faith in England.  However, the father, Joseph died two months prior leaving for America.  Eliza, his mother then was left with two children, Joseph and Martha to travel alone. 

They came across the plains with the ill fated Martin Handcart Company and arrived in Salt Lake November 29, 1856.  

The Burton family started their 1,300-mile journey with the Martin handcart company in Iowa City in July. By the third week in October, the weather turned cold. Joseph told of reaching a spring and pitching camp. They had to use fry pans and tin plates to clean away some snow in order to pitch their tent, for they had no shovels. Before rescuers reached them, their rations dwindled to almost nothing.  

In Salt Lake City Eliza, Joseph and Martha were taken to the home of Isaac Laney where they were cared for and remained for a few weeks. Joseph’s foot was frozen and he lost two of his toes. The family was then taken to Pleasant Grove, where Eliza met Nathan Staker, a widower with several children. They were married February 18, 1857. Nathan was 23 years older than Eliza. They had a happy marriage and loved each other’s children. They had five more children together. In 1859, they moved to Mt. Pleasant, and helped to settle San Pete County.
