St John’s Rectory, Logan, Utah, 1913
Scope and Contents
Collection contains 79 images of various Utah locations, including Logan, Bear Lake and environs, Magna, Curlew, and Garfield. Also pictured are various buildings including St. John’s Episcopal Church and Rectory, All Saints Mission in Garfield, and Logan Temple. Also includes numerous photos of Boy Scouts engaged in activities: camping, hiking, fishing, fording, and swimming. Photos are very likely of Logan Troop 1 on their initial 12-day, 100-mile hike to Bear Lake in August 1913. A few photos of a wedding are very likely those of Reverend Paul Jones, the Scoutmaster of Troop 1 and pastor of St. John’s Episcopal Church from 1906 until 1914, who married Mary Elizabeth Ralch in June of 1913. No persons are undeniably identifiable, although contemporary newspaper accounts give some idea about who is in the photos. Copies of these newspaper clips have been included in the relevant folder for additional reference.
