Family Record: Four Pages of Genealogy Relating to Joseph Angell Young

Description
Ephemera. Four pages of genealogy on two loose leaves [6 1/2 x 10 1/4"] which appear to have come from a family Bible. The pages are divided into columns with the following headings: Births; Deaths; Marriages. One page lists the births of Joseph A. Young's parents (Brigham Young and Mary Ann Angell). On the reverse, the marriages of Joseph A. Young and his family members are listed. The second page lists the children of Joseph A. Young and Mary Ann Ayres in the "Births" column. The days of the week, along with "G S L City," are listed next to their names and the dates of their births (often with the exact time listed as well). On the verso of this page, the "Deaths" of their children are listed (Mary Thornton Young, Elsie Vilate, Josephine Young, Alice Young, and others). Joseph Angell Young (1834-1875) was Brigham Young's eldest son. He was born October 14, 1834 in Kirtland, Ohio. He came to Utah in an early day and actively participated in the affairs of the new settlement as a frontiersman. He also played an important role in emigration affairs, and he is known for enduring bitter storms and biting frosts during one of the harshest winters in order to successfully rescue the belated hand-cart companies of that season. In addition, he built and was the first superintendent of the Ogden-Salt Lake line (the old Utah Central), and was among the promoters of the Utah Southern. In 1872, Young was appointed to preside over the Sevier district of the Church, spanning from Gunnison to Kanab. Two years later, the settlements on the Sevier were organized as the Sevier Stake of Zion, and Elder Young was appointed to preside over this Stake. He held this position until his death, taking a significantly active part that tended to build up and strengthen the new settlements, as well as introducing the United Order to the Saints on the Sevier. In Latter-day Saint Biographical Encyclopedia Volume I, Andrew Jenson cites a passage published by Deseret News following Young's death: "Elder Young was esteemed for his many estimable qualities of heart as well as head. He was a man of naturally keen intelligence, his mental qualities even reaching what might be termed brilliancy in some directions, while his generosity was proverbial, especially among the working classes, all who were ever in his employ holding him in esteem for his universally kind and fair treatment." Andrew Jenson also points out, that "On account of the persecutions of the 'Mormon' people, he [Joseph A. Young] was deprived of the advantage of an early education, but was a discriminating and passionate reader, and at the time of his death had, perhaps, the finest private library in the Territory." Two leaves from a Family Record which contain the genealogy of an important family, descending from Brigham Young, and significant to the history of Utah and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. - Information obtained from "Latter-day Saint Biographical Encyclopedia, Volume I," by Andrew Jenson.

London: Bloomsbury, 1999 First edition, first printing, second state with "J.K. Rowling" on copyright page instead of "Joanne Rowling." Publisher's red and purple pictorial paper-covered boards, with an illustration of Harry and Hermione riding Buckbeak, lettered in orange and green; in its matching dust jacket. Near fine book, with light soiling to rear board, a small nick to bottom edge of front board, and light spotting to top edge; near fine unclipped dust jacket, with some creasing to spine ends, and light staining and abrasion to jacket verso. Overall, a vibrant copy. Errington A7(aa). A pivotal novel in the series, The Prisoner of Azkaban was published before the series reached the level of popularity and cult following that it has today, but still managed to reach critical acclaim. In his third year at Hogwarts, Harry Potter and his friends search for the villainous outlaw Sirius Black after his escape from the wizard prison Azkaban. Unlike the first two books in the series, The Prisoner of Azkaban does not end with a cut-and-dry triumph over evil, but rather begins to pose the question of how media portals and popular perception affect whether someone is considered good or bad- a notion that will reoccur and becoming increasingly central to the story line as the series progresses.. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Dust Jacket Included.
