A Century In Meadow Valley - Book Two - James Allen and Lois Stewart Wadsworth - # 2

In the winter of 2012, I was contacted by Linda O'Connor
Lee, a cousin from Panaca, asking me if I would write an
article about my parents for the second Meadow Valley
book.  The first one was published in Panaca in 1964 to
celebrate Panaca's 100th birthday.

Panaca will be celebrating it's 150th birthday in 2014 and
the town is planning a spectacular celebration to be held in
conjunction with their famous 24th of July celebration
which recognizes the arrival of the Mormon Pioneers to the
Salt Lake Valley.  This book will be an important part of the
celebration, a continuation of the story of the descendants
of the first Mormon Pioneer settlers to Meadow Valley.
The settlement was named Panaca.

It will also feature other families that have since become
an important part of Panaca's history.

The previous post is the article I wrote about my wonderful
parents, James Allen and Lois Stewart Wadsworth.  James
was born in Panaca and after he and Lois were married,
this beautiful little town became their home for the rest of
their lives.  All seven of their children were raised there
and loved it as dearly as their parents did.

The pictures with this post will appear in the book with
the article about them.                                                                                 

Following is the information on the pictures in the order
they were posted:
