Chapel Rises From Pig Project FundsjlnfBox Elder County PORKERS RAISE CHAPEL FUNDS It Requires Combined Effort Of All 287 Bothwell Ward People To Build ulations and final success of these wards should be told to the readers of our papers. It is indeed an interesting story.) For seven years there were pigs in the barns, pigs in the garages, pigs in the front yards, pigs running up and own the road of Bothwell, Utah, a small farming community five miles west of Tremonton. They were unusually fat even for pigs the result of buckets full of slop and grain poured into their troughs. They had been gorging themselves and oinking happily, oblivious of the fine part they were playing in helping a small group of 287 people build a beautiful new $76,000 chapel. In August 1941 the newly installed bishopric of the Bothwell ward consisting of Bishop J. Leo Stokes; Clarence Andersen and Roscoe Andersen, first and second counselors, respectively, and Leland Andersen, clerk, decided to take the pig by the tail and do something about the increasingly evident inadeuacy of the old church house. Building a new chapel by the small and ward was beyond the wildest dreams of the bishopric so they decided remodeling of the old building was the most practical solution to their problem. Fortunately the war interfered. The bishopric searched the valley for suckling pigs and with the money borrowed from a local bank bought 80 of the The suealing little "greasers. shoats were distributed among 65 families of the ward. Practically every family played host to at least one of them and many families took too to fatten for h market. The project was a growing success and gained momentum as friendly competition developed among the families of the ward to see whose pig would bring the biggest check when decided to postpone the remodeling project until after the war was over and construction work had settled back to normal. But the raising and selling of the pigs went merrily on and the wards bankroll continued gaining weight. The war finally ended and, through the persistence, work and devotion of the people in the ward and the unselfish cooperation of the pigs in eating everything they could get their morals on, a total of $13.(X)0 had been raised from the sale of 300 pigs. What had been only a dream conbefore suddenly became crete plans the bishopric decided to build the new chapel. They hired an architect and the chapel was designed. It was to cost $76,000, half of which had to be paid for by the members of the ward, and would consist of a chapel, a recreation a n lAaronic hall, priesthood room, a Relief saeiety room and kitchen, a bishops office, and six classrooms. The bishopric realized it was an extremely ambitious project for the small ward, even with the money that had been raised through sale of the pigs, but the type of cooperative effort that already had been exhibited by ward members there was doubt of its eventual construction. To close the gap between the amount of money in the bank and the amount needed to build the chapel, more pigs were raised, and several acres of beets were grown during the next two years. Ward members, as well as gave generous donations for the project, and finally on December 13, 1947, the whole male population of the ward as well as the women, turned out to lay the foundation. That winter iwas mild and the construction of the new building got off to a good start. Before planting time a total of 8500 working hours had been donated by ward members. Practically all that remained to be done was the finishing work. On December 19, 1948, after more than seven years of raising pigs and working on the building itself, the new chapel was dedicated by Elder Joseph F. Merrill of the Council of the Twelve. It was the culmination of what Bishop Stokes described as a deply inspiring and satisfying experience that would not have been accomplished without the blessings of the Lord.
