This picture was taken in 1935
of the old John D. Lee home,
but no one seems to know just
where it was,
what happened to it,
if someone built on top of it,
or if this is really it.
Why do I want to know?
I wanted to add it
as a special interest story
to my book.
Lee was the only man
punished for the Mountain
Meadow Massacre and was
captured in Panguitch,
I want to be accurate.
Every story I've heard
seems not quite right.
That's what happens to History
as people speak from their
own memories and place in time
and so much contradicts
someone else's view.
I look for a date,
written information to
verify a story.
and try finding facts.
So I have a house...
Whose house?
Where did it go?
Does someone remember???

Dave says he doesn't know much but is willing. I'll call and give you his email. It is interesting to have a house disappear.
