On September 11, 1857, in Utah Territory, 100-140 members of
a wagon train bound from Arkansas to California were killed in a cruel and
treacherous attack. On Tuesday, August 12, 2014, the members and guests at the
regular meeting of the La Porte County, Indiana Genealogical Society will learn
more about this strange episode in American history. Lester Chadwick, a
relative of some of the casualties, will present a program about the “Mountain
Meadows Massacre.”
The society meets the second Tuesday of every
month at the La Porte Parks Department Headquarters at 250 Pine Lake Avenue.
The meetings begin promptly at 7 PM, and the program follows. Applications for
this year’s residence awards closed on July 31.The award presentation is
scheduled for September 9, 2014. However, nominations for Genealogist of the
Year are accepted until September 30. Click on the links on our site, http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~inlcigs/,
