Guest Book of John Young Home

Bob & Eileen Havens are neighbors of ours.  Eileen and her family used to live in the Large John Young home.  The home was built by John Young, President Brigham Young's Father.  Eileen's mother  kept a guest book of the many visitors who had stopped to see the home over the years. The book was passed to Eileen by her mother for safe keeping.  Bob and Eileen now live about a 1/2 mile south of here.  We visited them tonight and they showed us the book.  Although there were many pages, I will post only three.  These three pages show signatures of people most of you will recognize. The one above has a business card of Harold B. Lee when he was the president of the Eastern States Mission.

  This was signed by Elder and Sister Spencer W. Kimball.  Note the messages he added.

Elders N. Eldon Tanner, Richard L. Evans, and Marion D. Hanks signatures are at the top of this page.  There is such rich history in this area.
