Pioneer Day ... we naturally think of those early days following the arrival of those first pioneers who settled in the Great Salt Lake Valley. Beginning with an open valley with little more than sage brush and willows along its Twenty-Fo- urth streams. Beginning with few tools for building, it is amazing the things they accomplished in just a few years. One of the names that has long been associated with building of this Western Empire is that of Truman 0. Angell, Sr. In our profiles from the past today, we will become better acquainted with this man whose patriarchal blessing given by John Smith in Nauvoo in May 13, 1845 told him . . . Thy calling is more particularly to labor in assisting the Saints to build cities and than travelling temples abroad to preach the pel. gos- THE LIFE OF Truman 0. Sr., as an architect Angell, and builder of temples, public buildings and homes, was lived in fulfillment of the prophetic words as quoted above. He had, however, considered a good preacher, and when he was just twenty-tw-o years of age, with his themselves. The industry of the honey bee was used as an example to them and the bee hive became an emblem to the people. We learn that Mr. Angell made the plans for the ami Lion Houses among the many other buildings he designed. From the book, One Who Was Valiant, we quote . . . The Lion House, in which lived the greater number of my fathers families, was built in 1856. It was so named from the carved stone lion which rests above the main entrance. The architect was Truman 0. Angell. Bee-Hiv-e . THE STORY IS told that when Pres. Young was learning the carpenter trade in his youth, he was greatly impressed by a large New England hone distinguished from its neighbors by a carved stone lion. Because of this early memory, he ordered a similar decoration to be placed on his first large family home. Telling of the Beehive House . . . Clarissa Young Spencer and Mabel Harmer said, Atop the house, is the IN THE SAME account, we read about the Eagle Gate which is such a landmark. The entire estate of Brigham Young was sur- rounded by a cobblestone wall nine feet high with gates placed at convenient intervals. Father had a three fold purpose in having his wall constructed. In the first place it was built as a protection against floods. The stream from nearby City Creek Canyon at times swept down the street and was capable of doing some real damage to the garden and of flooding the basements of the houses. The second reason was that employment might be furnished for the emigrants until permanent work was found for them, and finally, the wall was used as a protection against the Indians. The main entrance to the estate was the Eagle Gate, so named from the large wooden eagle which stood guard on its pinnacle. The eagle was designed by Truman Angell and carved by Ralph Ramsay from five blocks of wood . . . one for the body, another for the neck, two for the wings, and the fifth for the beehive upon which it was mounted. The whole was held together by pieces of iron. TRUMAN O. ANGELL. Sr. was the third son of a family of ten children. He was bom June 5, 1810 in North Providence. Rhode Island and his first progenitor in America, Thomas Angell, came in the ship, Lion" along with Roger Williams. Truman was very limited in his education, but at the age of 17 learned the carpenter and joiner's trade. At the age of 21 he was married to Polly Johnson, in New York State, joined the Church a year later, and in 1835 gathered with the saints in Kirtland, Ohio. He worked on the Kirtland Temple until its completion. He had the supervision of finishing the second or middle wall of the temple, including the stands, according to his journal. Mr. Angell finally settled in Nauvoo. and helped build that city. William Weeks was the architect of the Nauvoo Temple, but left before it was completed. Angell records that . . . This left me to bring out the design and finishing of the Lower Hall, which was fully in my charge from then on to its comple- to carry out the architect's designs, which gained me the good will of the breth- ren." Angell was one chosen to come west with that first company of pioneers. He was Brigham Youngs brother-in-laMary Ann Angell having married the pioneer leader in Kirtland. Ohio. He wrote in his autobiography . . . "Soon after my arrival. I was chosen architect for the Church, the former architect William Weeks, having deserted and left for the east. After I was called to be architect of the Church, buildings of almost every description throughout the territory and especially Salt Lake, were placed in my people. The State House in Fillmore, the wall built around Temple Square. He was called to be the architect of all Public Works and as his journal goes on it is apparent that he had far more work than good for any man. Mention is made of the Baptismal Fount, the tabernacle, and .the temple. He mentioned the Historians Office. Ft. Harmony, Cove Fort. Summit Creek Fort, and many others. Mr. Ridges also mentions Mr. Angell's name in connection with the expert advice he received in designing the famous organ for temple square. charge." Years after the tabernacle was completed . . . There came to light in the office of He mentions the Salt Lake Temple and the one at St. George . . .
