"Family means nobody gets left behind, or forgotten". This is my effort to collect and share stories from our family that will help us appreciate the service and sacrifice of our ancestors - and thereby increase our testimony and determination to stay faithful.

Great-great-great Grandmother Mary Byington Southworth - with joy, wend your way westward!
My maternal Great-great-great grandmother, Mary Byington Southworth. Just a short snippet from her crossing as a pioneer and coming into Salt Lake. I found it interesting they were told by an Apostle of the Lord to "laugh, dance and make merry to be able to make it to the valley"......good advise for us too. Men are that they might have joy - and with joy, wend your way. And in the end, get rebaptized to wash away the sins of our long and tedious journey. Now, we just take the sacrament each week.
