2nd Annual Cemetery Tour

KAYSVILLE - FRUIT HEIGHTS - | Oct 24, 2020

2020 Marks our Second Annual Cemetery Tour

Our cemetery tour this year will be virtual due to the pandemic and wind damage.

 

1828-1891

Samuel Lane Jones

Samuel Lane Jones was born in Kidderminster, England on April 14, 1828.  He worked as an apprentice builder & stone mason before joining the LDS church and immigrating to Utah Territory in 1847.  He initially worked as a rough cut stone carver on the temple, but he soon found his passion carving headstones.  He began with war veteran headstones in Fort Douglass, and eventually was commissioned to create a tall sandstone monument to commemorate war veterans which stands in the center of the Fort Douglas Cemetery today.  He married Martha Simmons of Kay’s Ward and moved to Kaysville, where he made his life’s work carving headstones.  Many of his headstones may be found in the cemetery still to this day.
