Gifts from the past

The Knight family is well imbedded in the early history of the Church of which we are proud of, but the Sperry family (my Father's Mother's side) seems to have more family documentation, especially of the early settlement and rise of the Manti area. We are happy to be the custodians of many of these documents. Here are some of the documents and certificates from the Sperry family - priceless

Two tickets to the dedication of the Manti Temple May 22, 1888
