FINAL UPDATE: Adolphus Renny Whitehead Heastone Project

AUGUST 26, 2013 - Leslie V. Cook has announced that the headstones are done!  He sent some photos to show the finished product:

Back of Headstones

I would just like to express my gratitude to everyone who participated in this project, but especially give a shout-out to Leslie Cook who started it all, and did so much work to coordinate funds and order the headstones, etc.  Now we can, for generations to come, be able to have a tangible reminder of the courage and sacrifice of this beloved pioneer ancestor.

We're hoping to plan a small reunion  in St. George sometime soon so that we can dedicate these memorials and have a chance to meet each other.  I will pass on this info to you as soon as I know the date, etc.

To all the Descendants of Adolpus Rennie Whitehead

I am always uncomfortable when it comes to asking for money, no matter how worthy the cause, so please know that I wouldn't post this if I didn't think it was important!

My dad forwarded this email to me the other day, from a cousin, Leslie V. Cook:

LESLIE V.  COOK

Obviously, it is entirely up to you to decide if you'd like to participate.  I think it's important that we try to preserve as much as we can for our future generations, and am therefore going to help out.  You can contact Leslie V. Cook at cookles@yahoo.com
