Another version, perhaps easier to read from the American Library

History of the Bringhurst Family with Notes on the Clarkson, De Peyster, and Boude Families By Josiah Granville Leach

I found the Bringhurst book online for those who may be interested. It has a history of the Bringhurst family from a couple of generations before they came to America down to when they came to Utah.

Yea for YAG Laser Capsulotomy

After my cataract surgery, my vision deteriorated till it was very annoying. The doctor said that I had posterior capsule clouding, a common complication of cataract surgery. They can never get all the old lens cells out and sometimes some of them start to grow on the back of the lens capsule that is left in place to help hold the new lens. The treatment is to zap the capsule with a laser to basically destroy the back part where the cells are growing. It takes about 2 minutes and is basically painless. They do it in the doctor's office and there is no recovery or drops, etc. In actuality, the eye is irritated because of a contact lens they stick on it with a gel during the procedure,

so it is uncomfortable and waters for some time afterward. Small price to pay for much improved vision. I can now see much better again.


I don't know how to insert a video from YOU-tube or if that is legal or possible but the next post has a link to one that shows the procedure for those interested.

Missionary Service

I found this information in Grandpa Wilkinson's book of remembrance. I didn't remember hearing about this short-term mission before. It is one of several missions he served for the Church.

Tis is the official Call letter from President Grant


At the time (Nov 16, 1925) Grandpa was about a month away from his 36th birthday. He was married and had 4 children ages 11, 8, 5, and 3 years old. I don't know what his occupation was at the time, but probably some sort of sales.

Elder S.R.W. Wilkinson
