Church History helped me to appreciate the Prophet Joseph Smith and the other Church leaders who helped restore the Gospel. MY GRANDMOTHERS In 1995 I was pleased to submit information on my grandmothers, Teresa (Trezer) Southwick Marriott, and Madeleine Malan Farley, to be included in the Daughters of Utah Pioneers' Centennial Project of documenting Utah women who crossed the plains as L.D.S.

While waiting for the plane from New York City to Salt Lake City, we had the opportunity to meet and speak with President and Sister Ezra Taft Benson who were returning from Italy where he had just created the first stake in that country.
