from reciting others poems to writing
poetry himself, when we find him

Pioneers set to music at the recent
semi-centennial celebration. He is to-

speakers, has written the history o
Utah, and has filled the honored posi-

Young reminds me of his sad death,

academy at Annapolis because he had
/ such a strong premonitiOn that he
was to be buried at sea that it made
