Grandview ward was organized November 27, 1921. Prior to this time it was a branch and part of the Provo third ward, with Fred Buss as presiding elder. At the organization, M. E. 'Kartchner, Jr. was chosen bishop, with Ashted Taylor and C. L. Riding first and second counselors, respectively. cooperation and benevolent service to the community marked the unselfish work ol these brethren. The ward was reorganized in May, 1931, when the present bishopric was chosen. Under the leadership of brother Kartchner and his counselors, together with the cooperation of the ward membership, (whose confidence they always held) the fine new chapel shown above was . built at a cost of more than $23,000. The site upon which the building now stands was dedicated by President T. N. Taylor, February 22, 1923. Ground was broken the same day. The building was dedicated by President Heber J. Grant, Dec. 22, 1929. Grandview has a present membership of 362, and we feel sure that Bishop Stratton and ' his staff of workers enjoy the unqualified support of every member.
