Lewiston Landscape View from Homestead

We created this site to help researchers of our heritage learn of the lives and struggles of their progenitors. We gain brief glimpses in to the lives of our family members and appreciate immensely the legacy they have left in this life. This is also a place of ongoing collaboration, where we can share stories and provide feedback. Refer to our Rawlins History and Genealogy site for insights on how these stories and histories relate to family groups.

I need some help with this one as well. Who is the person in the wheel chair, and the one in the gray suit standing next to her? I can see Julia in the back, next to Reed and Ethel. Also, can someone comment on when this was taken and the event?

Who is this Missionary?

Can anyone help identify who this missionary is, standing next to Lindsay & Julia while they were on their mission?

Cemetery Records

Cemetery records are good for establishing death dates and even somewhat accurate birth dates. There may also be interesting tidbits of information written on the tombstone or even in records kept by the cemetery. If you know where your ancestors died you should be able to find a cemetery where they are buried.

Harvey McGalyard Rawlins

From "Glimpses" Compiled by Lyle Rawlins

I am giving a sketch of my early experience of the Church. I first joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints about the middle of June, 1844. On the 27th of the same month and of the same year our Prophet Joseph and Hyrum Smith were murdered at C myself and Bro. Isaac Stuart went to the jail and saw them hauling the dead bodies of our Prophet and Patriarchs Hyrum, and wounded John Taylor and the blood on the ground where they set Joseph against the well curb.
