November 2017 Over six years of hard work and beautiful craftsmanship the restoration of the porch by the owner of the Hepworth house is finished. Makes me very grateful for the love, the patience by Alan Barnett in restoring great great grandfather Thomas Hepworth and Mary Fletcher's home.
My Thanksgiving thoughts today comes from a post on my facebook page very recently of the restoration of THE PORCH of my Great Great GrandParents. Really, when I saw the post I became very teary eyed and posted my comments as such, and stating that it is such an honor to my gg grandparents that their house is coming alive again. Alan Barnett purchased this home in Salt Lake City a number of years ago. Bit by bit he is restoring it. His answer to my post was this "Renée, I couldn't have done this without the photo you provided showing Mary Hepworth and some of the family standing in front of the house It was absolutely invaluable in recreating the details on the porch." (Referring to the top picture of this post)
My Thoughts: Everyone! SHARE what you have. It may be pictures, stories, or documents; share them by uploading them on Familysearch or Ancestry Tree, family reunions. It will bless someone's life that you never thought it would.
I am grateful to everyone that shows me support in doing FamilySearch of my family lines. I give Gratitude to all my family that has gone before me and to family and friends that are with me today.
