Women Of The Navajo Calendar

Pieces of History: Part 1

Emery County Historical Society meeting recently covered the topic, "Going To My Grave, The Life And Disappearance Of The Mormon Scout, Levi Gregory Metcalf by Mark Blanchard."

Dottie Grimes gave a special award to someone who has helped preserve our history and heritage. She stated, "We like to honor someone every quarter. Carolyn Jorgensen is the recipient of the award this quarter. This Certificate of Appreciation is for her calendar of photos of Emery County historic buildings. Carolyn with this calendar has recognized and preserved a bit of our history," said Grimes.

Weston Allinson played for the group a musical number on his glittering blue saxophone. This turned out to be a brief enjoyable entertainment for the society members.

Blanchard was introduced as the fifth generation of Levi Gregory Metcalf. He is a graduate of Brigham Young University and the University of Pennsylvania. He lives in Springville. Blanchard and his mother Carole Oldroyd started research and writing in 2007 about his grandfather Levi Gregory Metcalf and the Elk Mountain Mission.

Oldroyd said she was happy to be here and to see so many people. Her husband Tim Oldroyd is related to Julie and Mack Huntington and they were in the audience. Oldroyd said, "Mark is going to tell about what happened in your area many years ago." She then displayed a picture which she said has hung in her home, in her mothers home and her grandmothers home, in the homes of aunts and uncles for 150 years. No one knew anything about this man Levi Gregory Metcalf. Oldroyd said, "This man is quite unique. I was told he was my great-grandfather and he was an interpreter, a scout and that he died when he was 27 years old. We don't know very much about him. In 2007 my brother and sister-in-law came to me and said we think it is time someone wrote the story of Levi Gregory Metcalf but we know nothing about him. Do you think your son Mark may be able to help with that? Mark was residing in California at the time. Mark pointed out all the obstacles of research.

"Undaunted we started work, we found stacks and stacks of information. We went through old diaries, old newspapers and old records in Springville. Then we began to learn what happened to this man. He only lived 27 years, he was born in Bingham, N.Y. in 1831. His family was Mormon and moved to Quincy, Ill. His father and mother got very ill with malaria and his mother died. A few months later his father died also.
