OF SANPETE’
Descendants of Bessey to be honored Anthony Wayne and Susan Matilda Lane Bessey and their descendants will be honored at the 33rd Annual Commemoration of the “Settlement of Sanpete,” Saturday, September 25, 2021. This event, held at Manti, Sanpete County’s first settlement, is sponsored by the Manti Camp of the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers. The public is invited to attend. The Besseys arrived in Manti, Utah, accompanied by Anthony’s recently widowed mother, Thankful Sterns Bessey, in 1857. Here Anthony carried on the rich tradition of his Pilgrim/Puritan Ancestry. He was very active in both civic and church affairs, which included being a captain of carvery in the Black Hawk War, Mayor of Manti, and a regular worker in the Manti Temple when it first opened in 1888 under the Presidency of Daniel Wells. The ”Besse” ancestor who immigrated to Massachusetts from England in 1655 was a “freeman” and part of the Plymouth Colony. Later generations participated in the War of Independence as minute-men in the storied Alarm at Lexington, April 1775.

Student brings museum collection to life Football is back again! Aspiring conservator I sifting forgeries from authentic artifacts
M
ove over, Indiana Jones. In her undergraduate work authenticating the Mesoamerican greenstone collection at BYU’s Museum of Peoples and Cultures, BYU anthropology student Chloe Burkey developed an eagle eye for the microscopic details that distinguish authentic artifacts from forged ones.
For example, the order of incisions on a sculpture. “With an Olmec figurine,” Burkey explained, “they would have drilled out the corners of the eyes and mouth first to make it easier to dig into the stone and then notched out the rest of CHRISTIE the features. But some of ALLEN the figurines I saw at the museum were notched out and then drilled afterward, or not even drilled in both corners, which told me something was off.” Burkey is an aspiring art conservator who has been fascinated with Mesoamerica since childhood, intrigued,
she said, by “an entire culture that developed separately from anywhere else in the world, where everything looks so different but is also very advanced.” So she jumped at the chance to work with her supervisor, anthropology postdoctoral fellow Marion Forest, in the first effort to systematically authenticate BYU’s Mesoamerican greenstone artifacts. Most of the 191 pieces Burkey and Forest examined came from private collectors and were donated before Mexico ratified an international treaty

Robert Taylor World 1938 – 2021
Early September 11th our Father in Heaven called home one of his greatest disciples. Robert Taylor World left his earthly journey to join his parents and siblings and begin the preparation for those yet to come. After a short, but hard-fought battle, he succumbed to the ravages of chemotherapy surrounded by his wife and children. Bob, as he was better known to all, was born on June 20, 1938, in Price, Utah. He was the third of three children of Harry and Dora World. Bob grew up in Price and excelled in school and sports and gained a love for cars at a very young age. He custom built several cars but tells the story of his most favorite, a 1956 Pontiac Star Chief. He claims that not only was it the most beautiful car in the area, with custom body work and paint, but was most likely one of the fastest. He would often tell stories of how fast he could make it from Price to Huntington, sometimes in 15 minutes. He met the love of his life, Patricia Sitterud (daughter of Carl and Revella Sitterud), through his uncle Bruce and was determined to make her his wife. He joined the Air force in 1959 and was married to his best friend Patricia shortly after. He then was stationed in France where his wife joined him a few months later. They had many wonderful adventures in France, learned the language well, of which they are both were still able to speak today. Their first son was born in France while they continued their adventure. Upon returning to Utah, Bob started work at Sperry where he stayed for 35 years as Material Manager. He loved his work there and continued to build his family in Bountiful by adding two more sons and a daughter. After retirement in 1995 he and his beautiful wife moved to Mt Pleasant so they could get out of the city and be closer to their cabin by Electric Lake. He was well known in town as he worked in the local hardware store and helped many people with his skills and knowledge of building and home repair. He and his family built their family cabin by hand, and it has been the source of tremendous amounts of memories for many years. Bob loved lapidary and woodwork. His wood creations were stunning and coveted by all. The amazing shop he created to fulfill his passion for woodwork was the
envy of everyone who saw it. He also loved to fish, hunt, camp and take road trips, especially to Bryce Canyon, Capital Reef, and the Hopi reservation. He loved to drive to Ferron for a burger and would drive anywhere for a Pepsi! Bob loved to go to lunch with his friends for their birthdays. He enjoyed serving in the Manti Temple for many years and was proud that he could memorize every word. He always put others first and would always tell you he was fine even in incredibly painful moments just so no one would worry. He never said a mean word or a disparaging comment. All he wanted was for everyone to be kind and cherish each other. Bob lived life to the fullest and was an inspiration to all who knew him. He truly understood what it meant to be an emissary of Christ, the sacrifices it required and the love it would bring. He is now working diligently with Christ and is waiting patiently for his family to join him. He was preceded in death by his parents Harry and Dora World, his siblings Ron and Larae. Surviving family members include: wife Pat. Son Robert Taylor World Jr., wife Kim, sons Robert Taylor World 111, Mitchell Maki World. Son Stewart David World, wife Heidi, daughters Alexis Jenna Grant (husband Riley), Karissa Danielle World. Son Troy D World, wife Stephanie, children Caitlynn Loise Jackson (husband Taylor), Baylee Marie World, Kylee Ann Dobitz (husband Conrad), Devan Michael Courtney. Daughter Nichole Lynn Eagar, husband Brad, children Tanner G. Valerio, Breauna Lynn Beckstead, Keaton Scott Beckstead and Kenedee Nichole Beckstead. Funeral Service will be held at Mt Pleasant 2nd ward chapel (295 south, state st) on September 18, 2021 at 11:00 am with a visitation from 10:00 10:30 a.m. with interment at Orangeville cemetery.

HURRICANE IDA
LDS Church sends volunteers to help cleanup BY GENELLE PUGMIRE
The Pyramid
The devastation from Hurricane Ida has been felt from everywhere Louisiana to New York and beyond. People are suffering from lack of water, power, food, losing their homes and belongings. Now they are seeing the army of Helping Hands volunteers, recognizable by their familiar yellow vests and shirts, coming to give aid and assist in the clean-up effort. When Hurricane Ida came ashore Aug. 29, in Louisiana, it brought sustained winds up to 150 mph, downing trees, crushing homes and causing power outages for more than a million people. Yet, by week’s end, thousands of volunteers from throughout the region, including Helping Hands from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, were in place and helping with the recovery and restoration. “I went to bed about 10:30 or
11 p.m. … realized we still had power. I’m not hearing anything. Maybe this is over,” said Rev. Drew Sutton, leader of the 600-member First United Methodist Church in Hammond, Louisiana. He and his young family had temporarily relocated to Baton Rouge. “When I got on [Facebook] at 4 a.m., I just saw people posting everywhere like this is the worst night of our lives.” Within days, volunteers in yellow shirts brought in chainsaws, rakes and track loaders to begin clearing the grounds of his church. Joining with their Methodist friends, many hands made quick work. “The way people are showing up and responding, knowing the need is great, it’s been phenomenal … seeing that level of commitment just reflects the life of the church and the belief that God is in the midst of this storm, no matter how bad it has gotten and how bad it looks,” Rev. Sutton said.

that in Pensacola. They came and helped us. We had these command centers in Pensacola, and then we come here.” Regional LDS Church leaders anticipate the need each year somewhere along the U.S. Gulf Coast. Crews have set up three command centers near the southern Louisiana coast in Hammond, Gonzales and Slidell. More than 2,200 volunteers were expected this past weekend, with volunteers needed for the next five or six weekends. Emergency relief supplies, including water and food from LDS Church storehouses in the southeastern United States, have been delivered to church meetinghouses for distribution in the disaster area. This first weekend, there
are plenty of work orders to address tree limbs, branches and stumps uprooted from the strong winds. However, a lack of electricity and hot temperatures made conditions for workers and victims challenging. The Helping Hands perspective is “many hands make light work,” so thousands will continue over the weeks to come to make sure the burden is shared. Josh and Sierra Kennedy live in Houma, Louisiana, with their two girls. Sierra and the girls evacuated to her mother’s home, and Josh was away working, recalling what he saw upon his return. “You walk in, and the smell is really what you [notice] first Please see VOLUNTEERS, Page A5

none of our methods is innovative,” Forest said. “The originality of our work is that we looked at the whole collection and did so many different tests. We had just the right settings at BYU for this experiment: full access to a collection, all the different necessary instruments, specialists across many different departments and labs to train us. After our project, hopefully other museums can adapt our protocol to their collections and resources.” Much of the work required sorting the artifacts based on patterns that indicated likely forgery or authenticity. The researchers performed water displacement tests to determine artifacts’ density, analyzed each object’s chemical makeup using a handheld tool called an X-ray fluorescence gun and studied every item’s iconography to see if the artifacts matched that of known, similar Mesoamerican artifacts. The next step was to examine each artifact under a stereomicroscope — much less expensive and easier to use than an SEM — for tool marks, telltale scratches, polishing techniques, anything to reveal how the objects were made or used. For instance, a figurine with a geometric cut, with many faceted edges, would be a good sign of forgery as it indicates the use of modern tools. “This project really helped prepare me for art conservation because I got to actually use so many different tools and methods I had learned about in my coursework. We incorporated chemistry, geology and mathematics
as well as art history, which brought a more scientific approach to my studies,” said Burkey. From their analyses, the researchers suspect that a significant portion of the collection is forgeries. They’ll soon know for sure — once they had divided the collection into likely fakes and likely authentic pieces, Forest and Burkey put each artifact into BYU’s SEM and then sent the SEM data to their collaborator Melgar Tizoc. With his help, they will confirm their predictions early this winter, which will tell them both which artifacts in the collection are imitations and how well their less-expensive methods worked. Perhaps surprisingly, neither the museum director nor the researchers find the prospect of forgeries alarming. From an anthropological point of view, the fact that an object is a fake simply means it has a different story. “Forgery or copying things is not a new concept; it goes back to antiquity,” explained Museum of Peoples and Cultures director Paul Stavast. “There’s still value, research and teaching potential, in forgeries because they say something about human behavior, humans’ interpretation of and desire for these artifacts.” Burkey agreed, noting how surprised she was by how much she came to appreciate forgers’ grasp of prehistoric techniques and art forms. “I think we need to talk more about forgeries and not sweep it under the rug, because it’s a part of history and archaeology,” she said.

and just how bad it smelled. When we [left] Houston [to return to our home last night], that was the last time we had a hot meal. Somebody came into [Sierra’s] mom’s apartment complex, and they had spaghetti and nachos, red beans and rice, and cold drinks.
It’s just rough,” Josh said. With a collapsed carport, a caved-in roof and ruined furniture, many of their belongings were moved to their front lawn, thanks to the aid of Helping Hands volunteers from the Beaumont, Texas, area. “Driving through the devastation is really hard to see how many people are affected,” said Ty Coates, a

missionary serving in Texas. “Back home [in Smithfield, Utah], when disasters happen, it’s usually to the one and so the whole community can just gather around them. Whereas here it’s widespread and it’s kind of awesome because everybody helps everybody, even though they’re all hurting.” LDS Church member homes were impacted, some with significant

flooding, but fortunately no loss of life has been reported among church members. Still, the cleanup is just beginning. All missionaries were relocated from the storm’s path in advance of the storm, and many are now working as part of the cleanup. Quinn Millington, a regional LDS Church leader, brought heavy equip-
ment from Montgomery, Alabama. “It’s overwhelming when [residents] come back and they look at their house and there’s trees down and there’s no power and there’s standing water, and they’re wondering, ‘What has happened to my home?’” he said. “It’s nice that we can walk in and eliminate at least one or two of their concerns and offer some love acting like the Savior.”
