For the past two years, my father and I have spent hundreds of hours researching the life of Edward Lloyd Parry. We have visited museums, libraries, scoured the Internet, taken photos in St. George and Manti, and met up with numerous descendants in our efforts to gather information on this remarkable man. We have written a book that attempts to unite every possible picture, document, and fact we can find on him.
Here are some fascinating questions the book answers:
- Which temples did he help build?
- Which of his daughters was the first white baby girl born in St. George, Utah?
- Which of his wives did he baptize?
- How was it possible that one of his fathers-in-law was also his uncle?
- How many wives did he really have?
- How did he save the Salt Lake Temple from falling apart?
- How many patriarchal blessings did he receive?
- For which of the Three Witnesses did he make a tombstone?
- Who told him to take a second wife?
- How old was he when his last child was born?
- What dream did he have that saved the lives of temple construction workers?
- Who sealed him to his first and second wives?
- Which LDS leaders did he know personally?
- Which church leader helped him buy tobacco?
- Which temple treasure boxes did he help place?
- To which LDS Apostle was he sealed?
- What was his personality like?
Specifications of the book:
Size: 6” x 9”
Number of pages: about 200
Page color: black and white (nothing was in color back then anyway)
Binding: hard cover
We anticipate the price of the book to be $30 per copy.

I would like at least one copy of your beautiful book. I am now residing in and living in a home I have been told numerous times, and which Manti City's "Walking Tour" brochure also describes, as having been built by Edward Lloyd Parry. It's on the southwest corner of the original pioneer fort . . . I look out the windows of the parlor, which I call the Reception Room, as it's where I greet the guests who come to stay and enjoy the spirit, beauty, elegance, and peaceful ambience of what is now The Yardley Inn and Spa, and imagine in 1895 when this home was completed Indian wicki-ups as far as the eye could see . . .
ReplyDeleteAs I've been immersed tonight, since finally learning the elusive first name of the "Parry Home", in researching this remarkable, faithful man, my heart is drawn full out. I'm sitting in the northwest corner of his beautiful house, which is now my office. These walls are saturated with love, faith, consecration, laughter, and loving. Countless couples have come here to celebrate their eternal marriages. Many remark on the peaceful, beautiful culture and spirit they enjoy while here. I feel so honored to have been asked to steward this home almost three years ago; I had no idea what it's history was and the former owner could only tell me it's history since she came into it. So, Parry descendants, I feel like a part of your family! Can I be adopted in? ;) I'd like to come to your reunion, and I'd be honored if you who are coming in from out of town book a room here and enjoy the spirit of this special place! I need books as I'm going to share the legacy of faith it's builder imbued in these very walls! Contact me Elephant Navel, please :)
Love and light ~
