She was one of many Hannahs in her ancestral line. The family moved back to Utah when she was a child, and her mother died when Hannah was only twelve years old. Hannah went on to become very educated and was a school principal in Idaho. There she met Bishop Victor Hegsted, and for unclear reasons chose to become his plural wife in 1904, fourteen years after the Manifesto was issued. Living in Salt Lake as a single mother under the assumed name of Brown, Hannah had four children, including her daughter Hannah. After Victor's other wife Ada died, he moved to Utah and they became a legal family and lived under the Hegsted name. Source.

Class of 1901?* George B. Hendricks. ~ ~ ~ ~ HIS OBITUARY: George B. Hendricks, Professor of Economics in the Utah Agricultural College, was born in Lewiston, Utah, November 25, 1881, a son of Brigham A. and Mary Rebecca (Stoddard) Hendricks. His father was born in Salt Lake in 1858 and is a son of William D. Hendricks and a grandson of James Hendricks, who came to Utah with the Mormon Battalion of 1847: William D. Hendricks enlisted in the battalion and returned to Salt Lake in the fall of that year, where both he and his father followed farming. George B. Hendricks acquired his early education in the graded schools of Lewiston and was graduated from the Brigham Young high school with the Class of 1901 [in Logan?]. He afterward entered the Collegiate Department of the Brigham Young College in Logan, Utah, and in 1903 won the Bachelor of Arts degree. He afterward spent three years in the Graduate School of Harvard, where he won his Master of Arts (A. M.) degree in 1908. He was also for one quarter a student in the University of Chicago Law School and he has since devoted his life to the profession of teaching. For three years he was a member of the faculty of the Brigham Young College, Logan, Utah, and was then called to the faculty of the Utah Agricultural College, Logan, Utah, in which he is now Professor of Economics. He was at the head of the Department of Finance and Banking until 1917, when he was made the head of the School of Commerce and Business Administration. ln 1918 he spent about eight months with the Federal Land Bank at Berkeley, acting as appraiser of lands for the Federal Farm Loan Board at Washington, DC. He is at present one of the directors of the Thatcher Brothers Banking Company of Logan, Utah. ln 1912 Professor Hendricks was married to Miss Caroline Armeda McAuster, a daughter of John A. and Clarissa (Snow) McAlister. They have become parents of two children, George B. Hendricks Jr., and Harold Gordon Hendricks. Mr. and Mrs. Hendricks are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and he is a member of the Fortieth Quorum of Seventies. He was in training camp at the Presidio, San Francisco California, from July 18, 1918, until the 16th of September following, when he was commissioned second lieutenant of infantry in the United States Army, remaining in camp as Personnel Adjutant until December 30, 1918. He then resumed his duties at the Utah Agricultural College and is regarded as one of the able young educators of the State of Utah. Studying thoroughly and broadly along his chosen line, he has become a most efficient professor of economics, readily solving many intricate problems of this character. [Source: Utah Since Statehood, book.] ~ ~ ~ ~ *Question: Is George B. Hendricks a graduate of the Brigham Young College high school in Logan, Utah, or of the Brigham Young Academy high school in Provo, Utah? Preliminary indications are that he is not a graduate of the high school in Provo.

Magnitude and frequency (U.S. Geological Survey. Water-Supply Paper 771.) by Clarence Sylvester Jarvis (1936). ~ ~ ~ ~ The town of Ivins, Utah, came about because of the fulfilled dream of several men to bring water to the Santa Clara bench. This was not easy to accomplish. An eight-mile canal had to be built from the Santa Clara creek near the Shem smelter to the bench. This was not an easy undertaking, the route took them over steep mountain sides and deep ravines that needed to be syphoned or plumed. Work began in 1911 and the canal was completed in 1914. Ivins Reservoir was built to store the water in 1918. Civil Engineeers, Leo A. Snow and Clarence S. Jarvis, were the men who first conceived this idea in 1909. ~ ~ ~ ~
