After spending a few hours at Jace and Sheldon's gravesite, we wandered around the cemetery looking at some of the markers. The SLC Cemetery is where the most pioneers are buried west of the Mississippi. It is also the final resting spot of many latter-day prophets. We saw the markers for Joseph Fielding Smith, Joseph F. Smith, Wilford Woodruff, David O'McKay, Howard W. Hunter, and Gordon B. Hinckley. I also found out that Steve's grandpa, Joseph Henry Dean, is buried in the SLC Cemetery. A few blocks from the SLC Cemetery is the Mormon Pioneer Memorial. This is the final resting spot for Brigham Young as well as some of his family. I can only imagine how glorious the resurrection will be at this cemetery!

| The Mormon Pioneer Memorial is beautifully landscapped. It is a peaceful place where the Mormon pioneer heritage is proclaimed and honored. |
 |
| Brigham Young is buried here not far from the SLC Cemetery. |

| I think this is supposed to be Brigham Young reading to one of his children. I had fun posing with him as I remembered his great legacy. |
