By HARTT WIXOM i Deseret News Staff Writer 'SKULL VALLEY, Tooele Will the memory of County losepa disappear with this Valievs , wind-blow- tumble n weed? That could happen with removal of the last easily visible remnants of the Cone (Coe Nay) Hoopiiaina ranch in northern Skull Valley. His hard-wohome and sheds are being removed even now by relatives, under a federal court order. Cone died last fall. The story of losepa (Yo Say Puh) began In 1889 when Joseph F. Smith, later sixth president of The Church of n Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y Saints, visited the Hawaiian Islands. He won numerous friends and converts there. to be ; Many of them, wanting - con-- ; near the then-undgtruction Salt Lake Temple, migrated to Utah. ; LITTLE OASIS After arriving, they colonized in Tooele Countys Skull Valley, its sagebrush hills bearing little resemblance to their islands. But, with incredibly rugged pionner zeal, they forged a community from the alkali a proud place with oil, neatly-rowe- d houses and ample fire hydrants. Soon the little oasis was of considered something t a palm treeless paradise. So much did the Hawaiians thLk of Joseph F. Smith that they named the community after him, losepa being Hawaiian for Joseph. Lands there were incorporated under the losepa Agricultural and semi-tropic- it on Sunday. He always headed on that day for the Grants-vill- e 2nd Ward chapel. The time came, without irrigated lands, when Cone was ordered to leave the land. A federal court Judge allowed him time to move. He was moving when he died. Then came the court order to remove the buildings and effects, or they would be razed. Cones brother, Pete, who lives In Murray, began moving the buildings recently. He is the only living Hawaiian remaining from the original losepa settlement, although many descendents now live in northern Utah. Assisting was Alfred Callis-te- r, a neighboring rancher and long-timfriend of Cone's. The two organized a pioneer celebration at losepa to remember the old days in 1965. With removal of Cones effects, there will be only two visible remnants of the losepa settlement They are the fire hydrants, not destroyed with the original buildings, and the e are leaving the cemetery as is. They would a welcome graveyard. By a quirk, the graveyard is barely on public land. It is reached across an old dirt road which crosses property owned by the Deseret Live- marker there near the rusting iron and crumbling wood. An road Is needed to provide access. Pete has a headstone for his b r o t h e rs now unmarked grave, but Wont try to get in there until the mud and snow are gone."

He liked Skull Valley and he stayed there, homesteading public land to the north. The lands around losepa were finally purchased by a large ranching company not under Hawaiian hands.
