People from all over the Country come to Santaquin to visit the Chieftain Museum. One reason are the settlers of Santaquin. Benjamin Fanklin Johnson one of the settler was a member of one of the largest families in the LDS church. There are many descendants of the Johnson Family who are interested in seeing the history of Santaquin. Benjamin was a son of Ezekiel and Julia Hills Johnson.

George was in the Mormon Battalion and joined the family in Utah. George married Martha Ann Risto in Santaquin and moved on to raise a large family in Nevada and Southern Utah.

Happy June Birthday to the following Seniors:

I received this from a good friend, Elmo Keck, and thought it was so interesting I wanted to share it with everyone. I have always loved to hear the Taps played at the cemetery. It gives me cold chills. About the first time I ever remember it being played was for my father in law when he died in 1966 and I ll never forget the feeling it gave me. This little story explains the meaning of it. I hope you get a new understanding and appreciation for the Taps that is played.
