Biographical History
Juanita Brooks was born in 1898 in the Mormon village of Bunkerville, Nevada. She married Ernest Pulsipher on 10 October 1919 in St. George, Utah. He died of cancer fifteen months later, leaving Juanita a widow with a four-month-old son. Following the death of her husband, Juanita decided to go to college. She was employed in several capacities as she worked her way through school, first at Dixie Junior College in St. George, Utah, and then at Brigham Young University. Following graduation, she returned to St. George to take a teaching position at Dixie College. While at Dixie, Juanita was offered a year's sabbatical leave to continue her education. Taking advantage of the offer, she traveled to New York where she obtained a master's degree from Columbia University. Returning to St. George, Brooks was appointed dean of women for the college. She married Will Brooks of St. George and embarked on a career of research and writing under the Works Progress Administration programs. In 1934, Brooks' "A Close-Up of Polygamy" was published in Harper's Monthly Magazine, the first of over forty articles and fifteen books published during her career. Brooks has become known as one of the major historians of Utah history and particularly of the history of southern Utah.
Mormon educator, historian, and author.
Juanita Brooks was a noted Utah historian and an American historian.
George Orin Pitkin was born in Far West, Missouri, on August 19, 1837. Much of his childhood was spent avoiding perscutions against Mormons in Illinois and Missouri before his family moved to Utah in 1848. By 1860 he was living in Millville, and in November 1860 married his cousin Maria Laverna Wood. He was named bishop of Millville in 1863, and held the position until 1896. He then served as first counsellor to William C. Parkinson, the president of the Cache Valley Stake. Pitkin moved to Logan, Utah, in 1906, where he did temple work. He died on January 27, 1910, and is buried in Millville.
