Show Volume XVIII Issue I The Ogden Valley news Page June 15, 2010 Memories of Huntsville and Its People Note: This is the seventeenth and last, in a multi-series of articles that is from the above titled compilation. Peter C. Geertsen Nephi H. Nielsen It is being reprinted by permission of the McKay family. The information was initially printed in 1960. I must digress now for a moment. I think the organization of Weber County into a stake has already been mentioned, but only in a casual way. Here are more details: The old Weber Stake was organized on January 26, 1851, with Lorin Farr as President. L.W. Shurtliff followed him as President with C.F. Middleton and N.C. Flygare as his Counselors. The Ogden Stake was created on July 19, 1908, with Thomas B. Evans as President and Hyrum Belnap and Thomas E. McKay as his Counselors. F.A. Hammond was the first bishop of the Huntsville ward. Uncle David McKay, who followed him as Bishop, was ordained by Apostle F.D. Richards soon after he returned from a mission on April 30, 1885. He had left on April 7, 1883. He was released from the post on September 10, 1905. His counselors had been Soren L. Peterson and Christian F. Schade. Uncle David McKay was born in Scotland on May 3, 1844, and was baptized by William McKay in 1855. He was ordained a Seventy March 28, 1869 by Apostle F.D. Richards. A.P. Renstrom succeeded Bishop McKay on September 10, 1906. His counselors were Charles S. Wood and John Halls. The following are the name of the boys and girls who served in the various branches of the armed forces from our town (Huntsville) in World War II. I wonder if you and I fully grasp what they endured, what they sacrificed, and what some of them paid to serve us. If we were to offer and give, in civil life, an equal amount of labor and sacrifice that they give in military service, I imagine the world would be a very much better place in which to live. I suspect we do not even remember them, much less love and revere them, for the lives they offered. Pauline L.

The wonderful progress accomplished during his regime, in all parts of the world, is something that thrills the hearts of every member of the Church. There is another service in the same field that the town can be proud of, and that is the missionary work. Since the town was founded a hundred years ago to the present time, there have been more than two hundred men and women serve on missions. This does not include so-called “home missions.” The time they spent amounts to more than five hundred forty-five years, and at their own expense. Their names, the year, and the name of the mission follows: Francis A. Hammond Hawaii 1859 United States 1869 Mary Jane Hammond Hawaii 1859 James Hawkins Hawaii 1869 Elizabeth Hawkins Hawaii 1869 C.
