Long Records None of the first group of Temple workers are now living, so far as known, but residing in St. George are at least three individuals in-dividuals who have known long service in this Temple. Manomas L. Andrus. now nearing 97 years of age, who. though never an official of-ficial ordinance worker has devoted de-voted many years of her life to this religious service. Though blind for many years, she has found great joy in participating regularly in this "ritual. So far as can be learned, she is now the eldest woman wo-man in the church who is still taking active part in Temple work, and has officiated for thousands of the dead, both ot her own kindred and of others. Jane T. Bleak, who will soon be 93, was appointed as one of the earliest cooks in the St. George Temple, when meals used to be served to the workers, and annual dinners in the Temple dining room commemorated the first opening of the Temple. After serving for some time in this capacity she was made an ordinance worker, and in all gave more than 60 years of her life to this work. Charles W. Seegmiller. who on January 2. will celebrate his 96 anniversary, was for nearly 12 vears, from November. 1911. to June. 1923. an official ordinance worker at the St. George Temple, and speaks of this as the happiest 12 years of his life in many respects. re-spects. Like most of those who are employed at this work, the time is given freely as a missionary' mis-sionary' service, and this tends to increase the joy of those who labor there, feeling that they have actually actu-ally rendered a service to their fellowmen. |
