Daniel H. Wells display - DUP Museum

LDS Apostle Daniel H. Wells (1814-1891) was a close associate of Edward Lloyd Parry. Their paths crossed numerous times throughout their lives, including the dedication of the Manti Temple in 1888.

Today my family and I were touring the Daughters of the Utah Pioneer Museum in Salt Lake City when we came upon a display case of Daniel H. Wells' belongings. We noticed two small stone carvings in the shape of books, one of which has ELP's name carved on it, and both of which came from Manti Temple rock. We wonder if this was perhaps some sort of gift from ELP to Brother Wells at the time of the Manti Temple's dedication. Here are the pictures:
