Joshua R. Clark and Mary Louisa Woolley Clark extracts of diaries and records

Manuscripts

This typescript includes meeting minutes from the Grantsville School of the Prophet and Theological Class, in Grantsville, Utah. Minutes were recorded on a bi-weekly basis from September 11, 1871 to May 6, 1872, with additional entries from December 1872 and February 1873. Primarily focuses on matters of school policy and finance, but also includes references to marriage, testimony from the Sandwich Islands, and discussion of possible westward travel. Includes a list of names of school brethren from 1871-1873. Minutes were kept by J.R. Clark, secretary. Although entitled "Diaries and Records of Joshua R. Clark and Mary Louis Woolley Clark, 1840-1938," there seems to be nothing here written by Mary Clark, and it appears that portions of the original document are not included.
