"Aunt Polly," as she was famil-trl- y known, was born August 4, 860, in West Ham, Essex, Eng-andaughter of James William and Sarah Lee Waight. She had a desire to come to America to visit her sister's family (the John Green family of Northcreek) so she sailed from England to Australia in the early part of 1900 and here worked for enough money to come to America. She landed in Vancouver, B. C, May 4, 1909. Five days later she arrived in Beaver, and became converted to the L D S gospel here. She married Patriarch Geo. Mnii ford on March 7, 1911, in the L S temple. Survivors include, besides her McShane Tel-luri- - Pet. Pioneer Daughters i In Beaver dead 16 17 Lo. The Anderson Indeed. He was a great story teller and his stories and his testimony coupled together made a great impression on all who heard him. Again in 1931 I attended the Leadership Week at the B. Y. U. Among the speakers who were to be there and speak were the Governor of Utah, a Senator of the United States and many of the State's best educators. Each of these in their turn drew a good audience of those attending the week's exercises. But when President Grant was announced as a speaker, people came in the morning and brought their lunch that they might have a seat so they could hear him. Such was the great esteem in which the people held their leader. Each year has added to the prestige that he has built for himself prestige that has come to him for living as he has taught, of doing unto others as he would be done by. In short, a prestige that has come about by living the laws of the gospel of Christ. No greater sermon could have been preached than he has done by his life. President Grant was born In Salt Lake City November 22, 1856. He became a member of the Quorum of Twelve Apostles Oct. 16, 1882. He became President of the Church Nov. 23, 1918. He died at 6:35 p. m. Monday, May 14, 1945. He was loved and honored by all who knew him. He was respected by all who had anything to do with him, even those who thought and taught differently than he did. He will be mised and mourned by many. His words and stories will always remain as pearls of great worth, and his advice when taken will lead to a brighter and happier life and world.
