As my mother shared with me this week that she had found the grave sites of her relatives That came to Utah. She located their graves at: Elysian Burial Gardens in Murray Utah at 1075 E 4580 S, Millcreek, UT 84117.1075 E 4580 S, Millcreek, UT 84117. I will share some of the excerpts from this book on several post because it's the story of the Walton - Price family and the wagon train they came to Utah with.  

This book was compiled from several 
different resources. My intent is to give us, 
the posterity of incredible pioneers, a 
greater understanding of how our 
progenitors joined The Church of Jesus 
Christ of Latter-day Saints and how they 
traveled across the plains to the Salt Lake 
Valley. It has been quite enlightening for me 
as I have researched these people and the 
wagon train companies in which they 
traveled. 

As you view their pictures, many taken in 
their elderly years, contemplate their age 
when they crossed the plains. What were 
you doing at that same age? Would you have 
had the same level of stamina, fortitude and 
endurance? I hope you gain an appreciation 
for their devoted sacrifice that provides us 
with the comforts we not only enjoy today, 
but generally take for granted. How lucky 
we are to be the recipients of their hope for 
a better life. 

As I read about their sacrifices I couldn't 
help but wonder how many of them could 
have become doctors, nurses, professors, 
artist and, yes, even successful vocal 
performers had they been able to devote 
their time and talents to such. Instead their 
struggles have afforded us the privilege to 
seek greater aspirations. May we honor their 
sacrifice by pursuing noble achievements.
