Through them he began to study the gospel and after he was seventy-five years old, he went through the Salt Lake Temple. He was spry and lively and at the age of ninety- six, he was staying with his daughter.

Her parents were David Albert Sanders (Little David) and Lucy Grover Sanders. They had been sent there by Brigham Young to colonize it. They found flies, mosquitoes, and heat.

Stories from their fellow- countrymen in the New World, who had found relief from oppression, and freedom to worship God as they pleased, must have fired their imagination. They had three young children at the time, for whom they wanted a more wholesome environment. So courageously making the decision which was to change the whole course of their lives, they bade good-bye to their homeland, and started on their adventure. We next find them in the little pioneer village of Quincy, in Franklin County, Pennsylvania. Their new home was located in one of the choice sections of the Pennsylvania-Dutch area, in a beautiful valley in the southern part of the state, between the Susquehanna and Potomac Rivers. That little town was vastly different from the historic old city of Frankfurt, but they soon made adjustments, and took advantage of every opportunity to make a better life for their growing family. Among other changes which they made in their way of life, it is not surprising that they soon simplified the spelling of their name; so before many years, Johan Jakob Schmidt, the humble German immigrant, became John Jacob Smith, the progressive Pennsylvania- Dutch American, who fought for his country during
