Before she joined the Church she had taught in a seminary and sung at the La Scala Opera House in Milan, Italy. On joining the Church she not only lost her job, but she was asked to leave her home.51 It was this same Esther who later helped the original surveyors of Morgan Valley to lay out their grids and coordinates. She also showed the first farmers how to lay out their farms. In her honor, they named Francis Peak after her.52 As a mid-wife, she helped deliver many . . . babies under trying circumstances.53 In all, the presentation was as realistic as if the 1977 Saints had been transported back one hundred years. The final speaker was S. Dilworth Young ofthe First Quorum of Seventy, Elder Young had always felt a special affinity for the people of Morgan Valley, He had been, prior to the centennial celebration, involved closely with the Boy Scout program. In his address he said, "I'm wrapped up in the lives of your boys." Speaking of his involvement with Glen Thurston and the Boy Scouts he said, "We used to sit out here in the bottom lands around campfires, and talk scouting, talk history and talk Morgan. And my heart came into your valley and has stayed here. I didn't live here, but in all the travels I've made in scouting as I came along, Morgan was the one which I enjoyed coming to most."54 Elder Young continued, "I've always had a feeling that in Morgan County, of all places I've been, you have maintained over the years your pioneer heritage betterthanmost. . . .You've kept the feeling of your ancestors. "He continued, 'Your ancestors. . . didn't settle this valley to lose it to apostasy. They didn't come here and strive and suffer that their grandchildren might go the way of the world." He ended by telling those present to teach their children about the ideals and faith of their grandmothers and grandfathers. The evening ended with square dancing and song. Perhaps the greatest lesson learned from the occasion was a profound respect for the founders of Morgan Valley.55 Presidents of the Church While serving as president of the stake, President Utile had the opportunity to receive counsel from President Spencer W. Kimball. They spent nearly an hour together on one occasion. The problem for which President Little had gone to Salt Lake City seeking counsel was a particularly "trying" one. President Kimball counseled him and then said, "Now, president, go home and do your duty," then there was a pause and the prophet continued, "But make sure it's right!" President Kimball observed the tie President Uttle was wearing and commented on howwell it matched his suit and that he would love to have one like it. President Little explained that his wife had made it for him. The next time he visited President Kimball's office he gave him a hand made tie from his wife which the prophet graciously accepted. President Little also personally visited President Harold B. Lee. "He was just standing there on his front lawn waiting for us," says President Little. In 224
