  Diary and autobiography of Christopher Jones Arthur [microform] : c.1875-1915

  Manuscripts

  Microfilm of Christopher Arthur Jones' diary and autobiography, covering events from about 1859-1915. The diary is in multiple hands and is not always in chronological order. It begins with a brief account of Jones' birth and young adulthood, including the death of his father after being struck by lightening in 1859. It also recounts his arranged marriage to Caroline Haight, the daughter of Isaac C. Haight, and includes diary entries for 1860-1862. A section entitled "A Brief Sketch of my History for the year 1874" includes notes on his work with the United Order in Cedar City and lists of general births, marriages, and deaths. An added note lists Arthur's own death in 1915 (he may actually have died in 1918). Diary entries for 1877-1878 record Arthur's experiences in Beaver, Parowan, and Cedar City. A brief note from 1883 recounts his mission to Great Britain. Portions of the diary are very faint and partially illegible, but the rest of the volume appears to be Arthur's autobiography, focusing on his life in Cedar City and elsewhere in Iron County, Utah. Scattered throughout the volume are records of blessings, dreams, letters, accounts, copied notes such as "the History of King Arthur" and "Facts About the Bible," a list of account notes for the Cedar City Co-op (1889), and a list of volumes Arthur gave to the Cedar City Public Library in 1910.
