Alexander and Jeanette, in Cache County, 1864-1869

The beautiful Cache Valley extends fifty miles from Paradise, Utah, north to Preston, Idaho. Alexander and Jeanette moved to Logan, Cache County, Utah about the time of their marriage in February 1864. He began at once to build a log cabin for his new bride where they were very happy in their humble home. They were both lovely singers and would sit and sing together by the light of the fireplace.³⁴ Alexander bought one of the first stoves in Logan for Janetta. She gladly shared it with her neighbors to bake bread.²

In 1865, priesthood leaders created the LDS Logan 5th ward. Members of the ward, including Alexander and the Izatt families, built a ward community center during the winter of 1865-66. Even school boys helped the men get logs from the canyon. The center consisted of one room sixteen by twenty feet. It served as a church meeting house, amusement hall and school. It was soon too small, so in 1868, they doubled it’s size.²

Jeanette gave birth twice in 1866. She had a baby boy in February who died at birth. Later that year on December 21, 1866 their first daughter, Agnes Izatt, was born. On November 4 1868, their son Alexander Williamson Izatt was born, but he died just two days later. Their second daughter, Ellen Spowart Izatt, was born on October 21, 1869.

Jeanette contracted tuberculosis and died on December 9, 1869. It was devastating for Alexander to lose his sweetheart, and the need to care for a new baby and a three-year-old child was overwhelming.

The Angel of Providence

William W. Low moved to Providence, Utah in 1868. He became the Postmaster there. Jane Angus moved to Providence with the Low Family.³⁶  There, she reacquainted with her old friends from Scotland, Little Sandy Izatt and Jeanette Williamson Izatt. They lived in Logan, just a few miles north.

When Jeanette died, Alexander’s health declined. He had heart problems, leaking heart valves, believed to be caused by the trauma of crossing the plains and working many years in the coal mines. It became so bad, he could not do a days work.⁵ Jane consoled and comforted him.

He told Jane he had to regain his health so he could take care of his two girls, and that he didn’t want to have his neighbors carry his responsibilities. He didn’t give up, and soon became strong enough to go back to work.⁵

Little Ellen Spowart Izatt was seven weeks old when her mother died. It was a constant struggle to find the proper foods for her. She would not eat and at one time they thought she had died. However, under Jane’s constant nursing and care she was restored to health and gradually grew stronger.⁵

Alexander Izatt and Jane Angus were married in Salt Lake City, on January 31, 1870. He told his family many, many times how grateful he was that Jane accepted him in his poverty, and the two small babies.^1,8

Alexander’s dream of the Logan Temple

In 1860, the population of Cache County was recorded at 2,605. More than 800 of those were children who were born in Utah.^35b Hundreds more children, who were living in the county, arrived in Utah with their parents between 1847 and 1860. Therefore, close to half the population of the valley at that time was under the age of 13.

During a visit by President Brigham Young, on August 22, 1863, Elder Wilford Woodruff spoke to the young people of the valley. He told them that “the day will come… when you will have the privilege of going into the towers of a glorious Temple built unto the name of the Most High, east of us upon the Logan bench, and from there “your eyes will survey this glorious valley filled with cities and villages, occupied by tens of thousands of Latter-day Saints”.³⁷

One day Alexander S. Izatt told his wife that he saw the Logan Temple in a dream “built on a sandhill”. He saw the plan of the structure and the brethern laying out the plans, many years before the temple was begun.⁸

Building the Cache Valley Tabernacle

In December 1864, Apostle Ezra T. Benson called a special meeting to discuss the proposed construction of a tabernacle. Benson pledged $1,200 himself, and others in attendance pledged $26,450. In 1865, the apostle authorized the project and work began on the 60 foot by 106 foot building. The basement was soon dug and a cobblestone foundation completed. Then, for reasons unknown, the project was suspended.^35a

When Logan was connected by the railways in 1873, Brigham Young believed it was time to resume work on the tabernacle. However, he wanted the foundation enlarged to 65 feet by 130 feet. He also wanted the railroad extended from Smithfield, Utah to the sandstone rock quarries in Franklin, Idaho.^35a

In the winter of 1873-74 teams and sleighs brought rock from Green Canyon, and the Utah Northern Pacific Railroad brought sandstone from Franklin. Work on the Tabernacle began again in 1874. They removed the old foundation and built a larger one.^35a

A mission to Saint George

Alexander was a master stone mason and church leaders called him on a service mission to build a temple in Southern, Utah. His group arrived in Saint George, Utah on November 23, 1874. The first thing they asked them when they arrived was: “Are there any masons along with you?”  They were happy to hear that there were quite a few stone masons in the company.

They worked for five months on the Saint George Temple. Alexander, in a letter to his wife Jane said he liked the work well, and that he believes it will be a beautiful building when completed. He liked the winter weather but thought it was not a good place to to live because of alkali soil, lack of water and poor water quality.

After he finished his assignment, he received $12 and a pair of half-soled shoes. When he arrived home, his clothes were worn out and his family was in need. He got some work and received for pay a large piece of cloth big enough to make him a coat.⁸

Working on the Cache Valley Tabernacle

They then asked Alexander to work on the tabernacle for pay of donation furniture or store script. One day he went for his pay and found there was nothing at the store for him. So, he did not return. Instead, he went to Logan Canyon to work on getting ties for the railroad. They soon offered to pay him if he would return to work on the tabernacle.⁸

They completed the basement and outer walls of the tabernacle in 1876. The tabernacle was excellent training for a larger project- building the temple.

In August 1878, before there were seats for the choir or in the balcony, the church held its first conference in the building. In 1881, the uncompleted tabernacle tower was roofed over and work ceased so work could go forward on the temple.^35a

The Logan Temple

The temple was the Church’s highest priority. Once the stone work of the tabernacle was finished, the temple excavation began May 28, 1877.

On September 17, 1877, they laid the cornerstones under the direction of President John Taylor.³⁸ Alexander S. Izatt played in the band for the cornerstone laying occasion.⁸

He worked with the masons until the temple was built up to a square. Brother Card then placed him in charge of building the temple annex and cook rooms. The names of masons who worked on the temple were placed on the cornerstone.⁸

When the temple was completed, it measured 171 feet long by 95 feet wide and 86 feet high at the square. The east tower was 170 feet tall, which was five feet taller than the west tower. True to the prophecy of 1863, it had four octagonal cornered “towers” crowned with battlements. The towers were 100 feet tall.^35c

The Logan Temple was an amazing pioneer achievement. The temple district made up of Cache Valley, Bear Lake, and Box Elder Stakes provided a work force of 144 men and 45 teams. This number included masons, carpenters, quarrymen, tenders, teamsters and lumbermen.

Most of these men were also farmers, who had to balance their immediate family survival with the promised riches of eternity. Some of their labor was donated, other times they received compensation in goods or wages.^35c

Numerous members of the Shoshone nation from Washakie, near the Utah-Idaho border, also helped build the temple. They worked in the rock quarry at Franklin, or with the Box Elder crews living in a camp near present day Romney Stadium.^35d

President John Taylor dedicated the temple on May 17, 1884.³⁸

Completing the tabernacle

After their work on the temple was completed, the skilled carpenters and wood craftsmen returned to finish the intricate and ornate interior of the tabernacle.

Brother Erastus and brother Cole built four steeples. The first one went on the courthouse, the next two went on the temple while the last one completed was placed on the tabernacle tower in 1886.

They then made dramatic changes to the exterior. The outside flights of stairs were removed and enclosed passages constructed. Twenty-six years after the first foundation was laid, the tabernacle was finally completed. President Wilford Woodruff dedicated the structure on November 1, 1891.^35e

Alexander “Big Sandy” Izatt, “The hardest thing I ever had to do”.

“Big Sandy” Izatt was also a stone mason who worked on the temple and tabernacle and many other projects.  When building didn’t provide enough work during the winter, he worked in the coal mines in Wyoming.

One winter, he had only been working in the mine for two days when he was strongly impressed to leave his work and go out of the mine. He stopped his work but then thought, “How foolish, I need this money to support my family.” He went back to his work. Once more a voice came to him and told him to leave the mine. “No, I cannot go!” he protested. The third time, it seemed he had no power to resist until he got out of the mine. He went to the cabin where he was staying. An explosion that night killed every man in the mine.³⁹

In 1886, there was an explosion at the Almy #4 mine in south-western Wyoming. The Deseret Evening News, very accurately describes the event Alexander told about to his family.

The night of January 12 about 25 minutes to 12, the people of the vicinity were startled by a loud report as of thunder, and for a few seconds the sky was illuminated for miles like a bright-yellow sunset. The noise and light, proceeding from the No. 4 mine, was caused by an explosion of gas, the force of which was so terrific as to blow all of the building’s above-ground into kindling wood, sending great timbers and rocks three-quarters of a mile. Miners’ houses were’ struck and pierced, but the people in them were not seriously injured. Two miners riding down the slope in a trip of empty cars had got down to the 3d level when the explosion broke the cars into fragments and shot them out as from a cannon. The two bodies were blown to pieces and were found a considerable distance from the portal. Eleven men and two boys were said to have been in the mine, and all were killed.⁴⁰

Alexander often said, “The hardest thing I ever had to do was to leave that mine”.³⁹

“This house was not built right!”

In addition to Big Alexander’s work on the temple and tabernacle, he worked on the old ZCMI, the First National Bank in Logan, the meeting house annex in Paradise, the McMurdy Dairy and various homes. He was also superintendent, for a while of the Green Canyon rock quarry.⁶

These projects kept him very busy and often took him away from Logan. It seemed to his wife Elizabeth that Alexander was always prompt enough when he worked on other people’s houses, but could never get around to build his own house. It was during one of these absences that Elizabeth lost her patience and had the house built.

Their grandson tells the story: “There were words, grandfather never got it out of his system. To his dying day there was nothing right about the stairway to the foundation, not to mention a few other things. Personally, I think he had some justice on his side too.”⁶

Cache Valley Square Dance

Elizabeth loved to dance. Alexander (big Sandy) didn’t dance, but that did not stop Elizabeth at all. They went to dances in the old rock school house, church, and community center. Alexander would have to carry one child on his back and one in his arms and Elizabeth would pack the baby.²⁷

Some dances started at sundown and lasted through the night. They opened and closed with prayer. A violin, an accordion and harmonicas struck up the music as the caller called out the square dance instructions.  The women served dinner at midnight and the left overs were put out for breakfast. Children slept through the din on benches lined against the walls. Christmas and New Years were always celebrated with a dance.²

Alexander and Elizabeth had ten children, 2 boys and 8 girls. They were Mary 1866, Grace 1868, William Boyle 1870, Elizabeth 1871, Jeanette 1873, Margaret 1875, Jane 1877, Annie 1879, Alexander George 1881, and Georgina 1883. The first two died in childhood.

Alexander Spowart Izatt, Sr.

Alexander Spowart Izatt, Jr. described his father as dark complexioned, wore a chin beard, medium height and weighed about 145 pounds. He was cheerful and jovial and people loved to have him at parties. Alexander and Jane were part of a group in the Fifth ward that had a party at each other’s house almost every week.⁵

In the 1870s, Bishop Hyde called him to be Sunday School Superintendent. He didn’t have any nice clothing, so he used money he was saving to buy a horse and bought a large piece of cloth to make a beautiful suit.⁸ He served in that calling for about twenty years.

Music was dear to his heart and he loved to sing. He had a beautiful voice and was often invited out in the community to sing and was very popular. His favorite church calling was leader of the ward choir.

One night he was not feeling well and stayed home to rest. Because of his absence, the bishop ask him to resign as choir leader. Alexander was hurt and offended and would not attend church for a while. Jane persuaded him to attend meetings at the tabernacle. Several other men tried to lead the choir but were not successful. Finally, the bishop came to Alexander and told him he was needed for the choir. He happily accepted the position.⁸

They taught their children to be industrious to obtain and enjoy the necessities of life. And to have a spiritual home, to keep the commandments of the Lord and to take an active part in church. They were also very civic minded. Alexander was elected to the city counsel for a while.⁵

Alexander “Little Sandy” Izatt returns to coal mining

In addition to his work on three temples and the Logan Tabernacle, Alexander S. Izatt helped build the rock mill at Franklin, Idaho and many concrete and rock homes in Cache Valley. He built his own home at 331 North, Fourth East for his growing family. It was made of the same stone as the temple.⁸ He often had to leave home for work during the winters to provide clothing and other needs for the family.¹

In November, 1883, he once again braved the dangers of coal mining in Rock Springs, Wyoming. In a letter to his wife he told her he had not seen daylight for a week. He said the work there was a sudden change “but all right if I can accomplish what I came here for, praying our Father in Heaven to preserve us all in good health, also from accident and danger.” He also advised her of his health condition, “My breast had not grumbled since I came here although the work is pretty hard for new comers.”⁴¹

At home in the winter

In the winter of 1883, Jane cared for the small children at home. Alex was 10, Jeanette 6, Margaret 5, and Catherine was a baby. They had a three room home and all the children slept in one room with chairs placed in front of a couch or sofa for part of a bed.¹

The three oldest girls had to arise early in the morning to help with the work before going to school. Agnes was 17, Ellen 14 and Mary 13. They would feed and care for the animals and chop wood in the cold, deep snow of Cache Valley winters. They washed and prepared the wool and took it to the carding mill so they could make their own fancy dresses and stockings. Ellen liked to knit, so her assignment was to knit stockings for the smaller children.

Nevertheless, it was a happy time when families worked together. They had parties in the homes to sew carpet rags, pop corn, make homemade molasses candy and play games. They had about one hour a day to skate or sleigh ride. Oh how happy they were when their father brought them a new, home made sleigh so they could coast down the hills with the other children.

All the children looked forward to Christmas and the night Santa Clause would come. They always hung up their stockings by the old chimney. In the morning, they found in them a nickel, an apple, an orange and a small bag of candy and nuts. Each of the girls also received one new dress and a new pair of shoes which had to last the entire year.¹

Sugar Cane production in Cache Valley

Alexander and Jane Izatt owned twenty acres and had a team of horses, a cow, chickens and other small animals. They had a huge garden with fine soil where they grew vegetables, berries and fruit trees.^5,8 They were blessed with good crops each year.¹

At planting time, the children would drop the seeds in the furrows while their father did the plowing. Then came the hoeing, weeding and watering. This was followed by the picking of cherries and berries and harvesting of the wheat. “Then the cutting of sugar cane and hauling the bundles to the mills for grinding into molasses.”¹

Sugar was scarce in Utah in the 1880s and molasses was the substitute. Many settlers had a small cane patch. They squeezed the juice from the sugar cane to make molasses.⁴² Samuel Clark, Sr. made hundreds of gallons of molasses in the Cache Valley every year.⁴³ His horse walked around and around to power the mill.⁴⁴ Fruit was dried or boiled and stored in five-gallon jars without sugar but sweetened with molasses.⁴³

Grandmother Williamson

Agnes Leatham Williamson Lawson owned a small notions store in Wellsville. Little Agnes and Ellen called her Grandmother Williamson. When Ellen was about thirteen, she went to live with her and help her in her store.

In the winter months, many men made her store their headquarters where they would gather around the warm stove, smoking and telling stories. They often left a mess which Ellen had to clean up. She asked her grandmother why she put up with such things. Grandmother Williamson told her that they bought candy and nuts and other things which helped her business. She said she preferred being independent and wanted no charity.¹

Children of Alexander and Jane Angus Izatt

Alexander and Jane Angus Izatt had nine children: Mary M. Izatt 21 November 1870, Alexander S. Izatt Jr. 16 March 1873, Jeanette W. Izatt 8 July 1877, Margaret A. Izatt 18 March 1878, John Izatt 2 September 1880 (died at birth), William R. Izatt 10 February 1882 (died at birth), George J. Izatt 17 April 1887 and Angus J. Izatt 6 January 1890.

When Angus Izatt was born Jane became very ill and was not expected to live. Alexander worried about her as he was trying to finish the home he started building for his family during the summer. It was bitter cold in the Cache Valley and he caught a cold. Jane recovered, but Alexander died two weeks later.⁸ He was 45 years old.

Jane outlived all her Scottish peers

William Izatt died in Logan in 1873 and his wife Grace lived with her son Alexander for a while. She died in 1890. Their daughter Janet and James B. Gallacher had marital problems. Judge Elis Snow granted Janet custody of the children in 1881. James Gallacher died in SLC in 1885. Janet Izatt Gallacher in Logan in 1895.

Grandma Agnes Leatham Williamson died in Wellsville, Cache Valley, Utah in 1888. She was 81.

Elizabeth Boyle Izatt, Alexander (Big Sandy’s) Izatt’s wife,  died in Logan December 20, 1887. Her eight children were between the ages of 4 and 19. Alexander raised the children by himself and they later wrote that he was a wonderful father and took good care of them.²⁷ He married Mary Legg in 1904. Alexander lived well into the twentieth century. He died in Logan on January 21, 1913 at age 69.

Jane lived for almost another quarter century.

The match maker

When her husband Alexander Spowart Izatt died in 1890, Jane was left to raise the young children by her self. Her oldest son, Alexander Jr, finished the house and she used her beautiful new home to take in students attending the Agricultural College as a source of income.

The home that A. S. Izatt built at 331 N. Fourth East⁴⁵ was a great match maker. Many students lived there with the family and studied in the Izatt home. Some of them married into the family.

One of her boarders, William Beers, married Jeanette Izatt in the home parler on Christmas in 1902. Catherine (Kate) Izatt, who was a singer and soloist like her father, married boarder David Edmond Stevens on June 9, 1906, and George Izatt married Charlotte Stevens, also a boarder and David’s cousin, on September 27, 1908.³⁰

When Jane was about sixty-five she returned to her native Scotland. She came back to Logan with names of her family, parents, brothers, sisters cousins, aunts and uncles. Unfortunately, she was unable to find many names in her direct ancestor line of her own family. For many years she enjoyed walking from her home up the hill to the temple. She served there regularly as long as her health would allow.³⁰

She was mindful of her community and served in numerous ways and was an assistant to Dr. Budge on many of his calls to the sick and assisted in the delivery of many babies.

Women could vote in Utah in 1870 and she always exercised her privilege. Even when she was blind at age 86 she found a way to vote. She requested her son George come from his work out of town to give her a ride to the voting place.³⁰

A tribute by her granddaughter

When her Aunt Mary was away. Eva Faye Izatt would often care for and read to her grandmother. The following was taken from a tribute written by Jane’s granddaughter, Eva Faye Izatt.

Jane Angus Izatt at 86 years old is a sweet, white haired woman whose countenance radiates the love, understanding, hardship, friendliness, and mirth that has accompanied her through the years. She is small in stature but stalwart of character, brave and valiant all the days of her life.

She now sits quietly, either knitting stitches into a sock for one of her grandchildren or just twiddling her fingers over the arm of her favorite old Morse chair. Her eye sight, now dimmed with cataracts, she needs a reader. She loves to have one of her family read from the Bible, and also certain sections of the daily news paper.

Those who know her can recall many pleasant hours spent listening to her deep and thoughtful philosophy, her rambling tales of old Scotland and her early girlhood, or best of all her love of the Gospel and the Bible. She speaks with a quick, concise, yet lilting Scottish brogue of her native land, delighting us all and we love her dearly.³⁰

Jane Angus Izatt died on January 17, 1937. She was 91-years-old.

James and Agnes Izatt Adams

Alexander and Jeanette’s oldest daughter Agnes married James Hugh Adams in Logan on January 7, 1885. His father James Adams and uncle Hugh Adams also joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Scotland before their trek to Utah.

Their children were: James I. Adams 1885-1955, Jeanette (Netty) Adams Williamson 1887-1962, Margaret (Gretta) Adams Christensen 1890-1966, Alexander I. Adams 1893-1910, Livonia Adams Barney 1898-1951, George L. Adams 1903-1973, Lyle I. Adams 1904-1968, Jessie I. Adams Ross 1907-1972, and Ernest I. Adams 1913-1977.

They build a home and raised their family at 603 E., 500 North in Logan one block from Agricultural College campus. Like Jane Izatt, they also boarded students in their home.

Archie and Livonia Adams Barney and the birth of Fay Barney

Archie F. Barney came to the Cache Valley to the Utah Agricultural College (now Utah State University). There he found board and room in the Adams home. He there met 18-year-old Livonia Adams. They were married in Logan on September 26,1917.

The great war was in progress in Europe and Archie Barney was enlisted and left for Camp Lewis, Washington on May 25, 1918. He was on his way to France on July 11, 1918 when their first daughter Agnes Fay Barney was born in the back bedroom of the Adams home in Logan.

The family cut a lock of the baby’s long black hair, tied it with a pink ribbon and sent it in the letter announcing the birth of his daughter. As he was sitting in a park reading the letter a young girl snatched the pretty pink ribbon off Archie’s knee before he had a chance to enjoy it.⁴⁶

Argonne offensive, September 26, 1918

It was Archie and Livonia’s first anniversary, the morning  of September 26, 1918. The great Argonne offensive in France had begun. A heavy artillery barrage had ousted the enemy from their trenches. Archie, with his comrades were waiting for the order to go “over the top”.

The order given, they scrambled out of their trenches through the barbed wire entanglements toward the enemy trenches. Their business was to locate and eliminate or drive back German machine gunners concealed in the trees and brush.

Thinking they could make better time, they entered a large opening in the brush and woods. The lieutenant with Barney and three others went a head. A gunner, hidden in the brush, opened fire. They immediately dropped to the ground for cover. There was little protection to be had, however, as the machine gun spit several hundred balls per minute toward them.

Only a moment on the ground and one slug hit Archie in the left side of his neck.  It coursed its way down between his spine and his lungs. It was quite an injury. He was stunned and completely paralyzed below his arms. The bullet remained inside below his right arm pit. “In an instant more, (he wrote) my throat and lungs started to rattle. My breathing came hard and I thought perhaps it was my turn to fertilize the poppies. Within a few moments more, however, I had overcome the first shock of my experience and had perfect confidence in a speedy recovery from my injuries”.⁴⁷

This assurance came to him as he lay helpless on the ground, still under fire from the machine gun. He distinctly remembers several balls striking the dirt near his head and of others cutting the blades of grass near by.

They were not held for long under this intense situation, however, before some of the Americans located and silenced the machine gun. Upon being relieved the boys of his company jumped up to continue their pursuit of the enemy.

He was injured at about 9 am and laid there on the muddy ground through the day. As he listened, he could hear the noise of battle receding into the distance as the Americans continued their advance. He laid there with the dead all night. The next day some medics collected the wounded together and covered them with blood-stained German garments to keep off the evening autumn chill. The following morning Archie was taken to a field hospital where he received excellent care from the doctors and nurses.⁴⁷

After being in several hospitals in France he sailed for the USA, debarking at Ellis Island on November 18, 1918. He was sent to a hospital in Cape May, New Jersey, where by February, 1919, he had recovered sufficiently to walk in the halls. After November 11, 1919 (Armistice Day) he was discharged from the Army.⁴⁷

Archie and Livonia Barney Family

Archie’s disability rating at the time of his discharge was 75% permanent disability. However, he persevered until he could walk with a cane and he was able to drive an automobile.

He returned to Logan and graduated from the Utah Agricultural College in the class of 1920. That autumn he moved with his family to Ithaca, New York and registered in the graduate school. He studied genetics, plant breeding, plant physiology and soil technology and received his Doctorate Degree from Cornell University.

They moved back to Utah and he got a job on May 1, 1925 as a field agronomist at American Smelter and Refining in Salt Lake City. It was satisfying work with a very good salary. He worked there for 30 years and retired in 1955.

Archie Barney was born on July 4, 1892. This year (2021) his grandchildren and their families will gather to continue the tradition of celebrating his fourth of July birthday, Granddad Barney’s 129th birthday.

Archie and Livonia had four children: Fay born in Logan, Utah, July 11, 1918; Ellen born at Ithaca, New York, October 4, 1921; Dean was born at Logan, Utah, on February 12, 1925; Carol born in Salt Lake City, Utah, January 11, 1928.
