Liberal Hall sees 144 years JON SWAPP

Updated by Ray LaFollette

Editor’s Note: Welcome to the Pioneer Association Archive, a look at some of the historical locations in Mt. Pleasant prior to the association’s annual luncheon to be held March 16, at the Mt. Pleasant North Stake Center of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 461 North 300 West. This year’s theme is “Looking Back in Time.” Doors open at 10:30 a.m., lunch at 12 noon. MT. PLEASANT — At 67 West Main Street, Mt. Pleasant, in Liberal Hall, Duncan James McMillan, a Presbyterian Minister and a school teacher, first opened the doors to Wasatch school, a private grade school on Monday, April 19, 1875. Duncan McMillan was born June 2, 1849, to Reverend Edward McMillan and Mary Ann Brown McMillan, in Tennessee. At the age of 15, he volunteered as a regimental orderly and drummer boy and went to war with his father, fighting for the North during the Civil War. Duncan later returned home to his mother when his father died from a fever. Later, he re-enlisted in the army, and didn’t return home again until he was 19 years old. Then, working as a salesman, farmhand and teacher, McMillan earned enough money for tuition to go to

The story might have ended there if it wasn’t for McMillan’s bravery, if he hadn’t rushed into a burning building to rescue three girls. Because of that rescue, he developed severe bronchial problems. Otherwise, Duncan may have never chosen to go west for his health. For three years after the fire, Reverend McMillan served as a minister to a congregation in Walnut Grove, IL; but his health finally forced him to decide that he should go west. While making final preparations to go west, the son of the youngest Elder in his church became ill and died unexpectedly. The little boy’s name was

Little George’s parents asked Reverend McMillan to stay for the funeral, after which they gave George’s unopened bank to McMillan, asking that its contents be used for God’s work. Reverend McMillan decided to come to central Utah because it wasn’t as cold as Montana or as hot as New Mexico. As one might expect in 1875, in Mt. Pleasant, Utah, a Presbyterian Minister would encounter

According to a paragraph taken from a letter that McMillan wrote in the late 1930s to Mrs. H.F. Wall (as recorded in the Mt. Pleasant Book 18591939, page 248), McMillan writes, “I arrived in Mt. Pleasant an entire stranger, not knowing even the name

of anyone in town.” A small group of people became interested in this stranger and engaged him as a school teacher. They had built a small building for social purposes and called it Liberal Hall, which was incomplete and in debt. “They offered to give me the building, subject to mortgage, Please see HALL, Page A6

Celebrate Valentine’s Day at Utah driver license offices SALT LAKE CITY — Utah is consistently one of the top five states with regard to the number of people who have registered as organ, eye and tissue donors. Over 99 percent of the people who registered as organ donors last year did so on their driver’s license or state ID card.

On Valentine’s Day, Thursday, Feb. 14, driver license employees throughout Utah will be sporting red t-shirts reminding people to consider registering as a donor. The option to register to be an organ, eye and tissue donor on their driver’s license or state ID makes the process easy.

People simply check a box on the application form. If customers have questions regarding donation, there are brochures available in driver license offices as well as pens that include a number to call with questions. Some driver license locations have a PowerPoint pre-

sentation on their queuing monitors with donation information that customers can watch as they wait. All these things help the public become better educated to make this lifesaving decision. To learn more about organ, eye and tissue donation, visit www.yesutah.org.

Happy Valentine’s Day Sanpete! Yep, today is the day. If you haven’t remembered to do something a little special for someone special in your life, it’s not too late. That “something a little special” might just be a homemade card with a sincere sentiment, together with a candy bar. I suggest that you don’t forget the candy bar. If the homemade card bombs, the candy bar will help make up for it. If you have time, you could arrange to get dinner and see a movie. That’s always fun – even if it’s a cheeseburger and then a movie on Netflix. Going to the theater and seeing something on the big screen demonstrates more “specialness” though, perhaps. We saw the movie “Green Book” at the show house last week. We liked it. Maybe I’ll see if I can count that as our Valentine’s “date.” We went to Wal-Mart after the show and spent $100. That should count for something. I don’t really remember what we bought, but it must have been something good. I was in a friend’s office the other day. This guy is a mature, native Sanpeter. By mature, I mean that he’s old enough to qualify for every senior discount that I know of. I only mention that to let you know that this guy has been around a while and witnessed how time has changed society, and not all for the good in his view. I studied the calendar on the wall in his office. Not meaning to provoke the normally mild mannered guy, I casually remarked, “It looks like Valentine’s Day is sneaking up on us. He straightened up in his chair, gave me a look of “now you’ve crossed the line,” and commenced to give me a little sermonette on the absurdity of Valentine’s Day. “They’ve taken a little kid, novelty holiday and turned it into a big deal where everyone is expected to give presents to each other. It’s another way they are trying to make money off us,” he complained. I’m not sure whom the “they” is that he blames. Personally, my theory is that he was referring to the possible unholy alliance of Hallmark Cards, the Shane Diamond Company, Sees Candy, Victoria’s Secret, FTD Florists, and Girl Scout Cookies. (I don’t really think the Girl Scouts are in on this particular conspiracy, but the addictiveness of the Samoa cookies makes me wonder.) Anyway, I calmed him down by agreeing that civilization and society has spiraled downward in recent years into a soul-less, selfish, money-grabbing, value-less, stench pot of a place. He took deeper breaths, and nodded to acknowledge that I was on the right side of this issue. I then said, “I hope you enjoy my Valentine’s present to you this year” and “I can’t wait to see what you’re giving me for Valentine’s Day!” I’ve noticed that gifts,

which are given on Valentine’s Day, have gone beyond cards, flowers and chocolate. For example, naming a star for a loved one has become “a thing.” There are several places that sell these naming rights. There are standard stars, extra bright starts, constellation stars, and binary stars available for starters. A twin, binary star is especially appropriate for a couple to share together. My research showed that getting the name for that is only $99.90, compared to a standard star at $39.90. I wanted to see what the International Astronomical Union, the recognized authority for naming celestial bodies, had to say about all of this. They don’t sell naming rights to any astronomical features, including stars. With millions of stars out there, they just designate stars by catalog number and coordinates. They say that companies who sell naming rights to stars can provide you with “an expensive piece of paper and a temporary feeling of happiness.” I guess that maybe an official looking certificate and a good, happy feeling for a while isn’t all bad. But, rather than naming a star, I’m thinking that I’d rather have the naming rights to a 16 ounce T-Bone steak on my dinner plate for Valentine’s Day. But that’s just me. I see that there is kind of an “Anti-Valentine” phenomenon going on this year for Valentine’s Day. It’s kind of in the same category as naming a star, except in this case; it’s naming a cockroach after your “Ex.” More than one zoo has picked up on this Valentine’s vengeance idea. The El Paso, Texas zoo has had such a huge response to its “Name a Roach” (“Quit Bugging Me”) Valentine’s Day promotion that they had to stop accepting names. The named roaches are fed to animals on Valentine’s Day. Meerkats and other animals will be dining on the specially named bugs. A live stream of the eating of the roaches will be available for watching. Names of the bugs will be posted online. Okayyy. I guess I’m old-fashioned. I’m hoping for dinner and a movie for Valentine’s Day. We did do dinner and a hockey game for Valentine’s Day years ago. That’s when the Olympics were going on in Salt Lake. Nothing says love like time at the hockey rink. I think we should remember that Valentine’s Day isn’t just a day solely for couples that consider themselves romantically, bonded lovers and soul mates. I believe that it’s a good time for friends and family to remember their love and devotion one for another. Let people in your life know that you love them on Valentines Day. Give them a little kid Valentine that reads, “Be Mine.” And additionally — don’t forget the candy bar. Enjoy the day!

Share Parents of Utah seeks volunteers ST. GEORGE — One-infour pregnancies ends in loss. Although many families experience infant death, how they are supported and their journey through grief usually varies. Share Parents of Utah has been supporting families through pregnancy and infant loss for 35 years, and that support expanded to central Utah hospitals in April of 2016. A peer-based support group, Share’s volunteers have experienced infant loss themselves and in turn support other families in similar situations. Stacey Fletcher, a former resident of Ephraim and Share volunteer, met with area hospitals to bring Share services to Central Valley Medical Center, Sanpete Valley Hospital, Gunnison Valley Hospital, and Sevier Valley Hospital. The Fletcher family lost two babies, one at 10 weeks gestation in 2005 and another baby in 2006 who was still born at full-term. After experiencing the grief and pain of infant death first hand, the Fletchers now seek to honor their babies by paying support services forward to other families experiencing similar losses by volunteering themselves. “When you lose a baby, you feel very isolated and alone… even when you are surrounded by many people wanting to help,” explained Stacey. “I felt like I could only take one moment at a time and focus on surviving. The grief was consuming and overwhelming. I think that talking to other parents who have experienced similar loss helped me realize that I could survive, that the pain would lessen, that I would eventually be able to function again.” “Now that I volunteer with Share Parents of Utah, I realize that my hospital experience could have been very different. I only held my son for a couple of hours. I have no pictures of anyone holding him. We did not include our boys in any memory making at the hospital. I did not dress or bathe my son, with the exception of dressing him for burial at the mortuary.

I realize now that we could have done so much more with him. That is why I volunteer now. I want to help other families and pay it forward for my angel children.” Share Parents of Utah provides several services in the event of a baby’s death. Once contacted by the hospital, volunteers visit with families to provide emotional support during their hospital stay. This peer-to-peer support is a unique form of comfort for grieving families because they are given the ability to speak with other families who have been in similar situations. When possible, Share volunteers create hand and feet molds and provide photography for the families. Babies are dressed in small hand-made diapers and hats and wrapped in blankets. Volunteers give families mementos and remembrances to help them memorialize their babies. In addition, Share Utah provides information about burial services, cremation, and parental rights. Volunteers help families create precious memories with their babies in the short time they are given with them. Zach and Ame Shumway lost their son Gage and delivered at Sanpete Valley Hospital. They were served by Share volunteers. “The experience was absolutely amazing,” noted Ame. “The comfort and the support that we received helped us in so many ways with the grieving process. It was amazing to have someone who had gone through the same thing, because they knew what it was like to have an angel baby. They helped us accept the loss, but they also helped us to remember and celebrate him. The pictures and the hand/feet molds that they made also helped in the grieving process. They gave us something of him to have forever.” Share Parents of Utah’s support continues for families once they leave the hospital with support meetings, on-line support groups, memorial events, and personal correspondence.

school he started at 67 West Main Street, Mt Pleasant, is still going strong over 144 years later. Liberal Hall served as a school and church until 1888, when other buildings were constructed for the school. The church continued to use the building until 1920, when there was a bad fire in the building and the church congregation determined to build a new First Presbyterian Church at 100 West 100 South. In 1926, the damaged building was sold to the Damascus Lodge No. 10 and remodeled into a Masonic Temple. In 1972, it was sold and became the home to the North Sanpete Senior Citizens. Mt.
