Pioneer Monument at Temple Square

In Temple Square at Salt Lake City, Utah is a monument that reads “The names of the pioneers who arrived in this valley, 24 July 1847.” There were 148 pioneer founders of Utah: 143 men, three women and two children. The first name of the 148 is “Brigham YOUNG.” In the next to the last column of the monument’s names is “Lewis BARNEY,” brother of my husband’s Utah pioneer ancestor who arrived later to the Utah Territories. Included were three “colored servants” - “Green FLAKE, Hark LAY, and Oscar CROSBY.”
