    Emma Bennion, daughter of Samuel and Mary Bushell Bennion, was born at Taylorsville, Salt Lake county, Utah, Nov. 8, 1851. Her childhood and early girlhood life was spent on her father's farm, taking part in all the duties of the  house hold and out-door work incident to farm life in those early pioneer days. She attended the local district school, such as there was, both as to time and facilities. The record of her home life and public service, however, indicated that her education came mostly through the school of experience where she developed a wonderful character of sterling worth and integrity, notwithstanding her modesty and retiring disposition. At the age of fourteen she spent the summer in Vernon doing cooking and the housework for the men folks who were with the livestock which belonged to the family. As she grew to young womanhood she was a teacher in the Sunday school of Taylorsville and later a worker  in the Relief Society, of which she acted as president for six years. She also served as a board member of the Granite Stake Relief Society and later held the same position in the Cottonwood Stake. At the age of eighteen she was married to Jos. S. Lindsy in the Endowment House, Salt Lake City, Dec. 6, 1869. Wm. H. Haigh and Mary Ann Harker were married the same day. The first year of their married life was spent on the George Moses farm in  Cottonwood where these two young married couples lived in the same house and worked the farm together.

     Lindsay, Joseph Shanks, a president of the 115th quorum of Seventy, and a faithful Church worker in the Taylorsville Ward, Salt Lake county, Utah, was born March 31, 1849, in Liverpool, England, the son of John Lindsay and Elizabeth Shanks. He emigrated to America with his parents in 1851 and located temporarily in St. Louis, Mo., where his mother  died and where his father presided over a branch of the Church until 1859, when the family migrated to Utah, crossing the plains in a freight train. His father died the same year soon after reaching the Valley.  Joseph S. Lindsay lived with Brother John R. Winder the first year and later went to the home of Wm. and Mary Parker in Taylorsville. Joseph was baptized in the fall of 1859 and ordained an Elder Dec. 6, 1869. On this date he married Emma Bennion (daughter of Samuel Bennion and Mary Bushel), who was born Nov. 8, 1851, at Taylorsville.          In 1867,at the age of eighteen, he was called to join the Blackhawk War to protect the people in Sanpete and adjoining counties from the Indians. This he did and was honorably discharged and at the date of his death on Feb. 2, 1918, was a member of the Blackhawk Veterans. Four years after being discharged from the service he was called by the President of the Church, with a number of others to go to  Arizona as an intended colonization settler in 1873. He left his wife, Emma, and two children at home and went on this mission, but on account of the drouth the company was forced to return some months later. On his return he homesteaded the farm which is now known as the Lindsay  home and built a one room log house on the west border of the farm. At this time this place was the farthest house west on what was then known as the prairie. Here Cora was born. As to the two older children, Mayr E. was born in Cottonwood and Joseph Jr., at the home of Mrs. Lindays father, Samuel Bennion, where they went to live for a short time after the death of Mary Bushell Bennion, Emma Lindsay's mother. Later they built a two room log house on the east border of the farm, where the home now stands and where the remainder of the eleven children of the family were born. Joseph S. later filled also filled two missions for the Church to England. In 1891-1893 he filled a mission to Great Britain, laboring in Ireland. Prior to this he was ordained a Seventy, and after his return from his mission he became a president in the 115th quorum of Seventy. He filled a second mission to Great Britain in 1906-8, laboring in the Liverpool conference and presided over the Blackburn branch seven months. He returned home in charge of a company of emigrating Saints. Elder Lindsay was by occupation a farmer, but served his fellow-citizens as constable, justice of the peace, etc. He contributed of his time and means most liberally in the interests of the Church. Bro. Lindsay died at Taylorsville Feb. 2, 1918. He was the father of eleven children, three boys and eight girls. Eight of his children are still alive and all faithful members of the Church.
