Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biography of Myron Tanner The subject matter from which this sketch was taken was much of it given by Myron Tanner to his children, Sunday, June 14, 1896, at Provo City, Utah, where the family had gathered to celebrate the seventieth anniversary of his birth. The gathering, however, had been postponed a week in view of the enforced absence of some of the family. "I was born," he said, "on the 7th day of June, 1826, in the town of Bolton, Warren County, State of New York, where I lived until I was eight years old." This little town is located on a beautiful spot of earth near Lake George, It was here that John Tanner, the father of Myron Tanner, received the gospel. The father was a prosperous man in those days, and one of the leading farmers of the community in which he lived. Wishing to join the body of the Saints, with whose destiny he now became identified, he left Bolton, December 25, 1834, and arrived at Kirtland in March, 1835. The family remained in Kirtland for three years, where they were largely engaged in the erection of the Temple. The names of John Tanner and his older son Sidney Tanner, being honorably mentioned among those entitled to recognition for their devoted services in the erection of the house of God. John Tanner was himself an energetic and intelligent farmer, and his love for and cultivation of the soil characterized his labors at each stopping place in every exodus of the Saints. His old farm at Kirtland is still in the ownership and possession of one of his descendants. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
