Painting: St. George Temple dedication 1877

The LDS Church's Conference Center in Salt Lake City has numerous paintings on display, one of which is a piece entitled St. George Temple Groundbreaking:

If one inspects the above photo closely, a man to the far left of the painting appears similar to Edward Lloyd Parry:

Regardless of whether it is Edward Lloyd Parry or not, we know that he was the master stonemason of the St. George Temple and was present at its dedication. We also know that he knew President Brigham Young personally and was in frequent contact with him regarding the St. George Temple's construction.

The plaque to the side of the painting reads as follows:

St. George Temple Groundbreaking

J. Roman Andrus, (1907-1993)
Oil on canvas, 1942

Brigham Young broke ground for the St. George Temple in southern Utah in 1871 and presided over its dedication shortly before he died in 1877. The first completed in the American West, this temple was built of local materials by the commitment and sacrifice of Latter-day Saints who were struggling to survive on the raw frontier. The artist taught painting and printmaking at Brigham Young University for many years. 

Incidentally, Roman Andrus is my father's first cousin. Both are grandchildren of George Brooks, whom Edward Lloyd Parry adopted when he (George) was an 11-year-old pioneer orphan in 1856. With Andrus' connection to ELP, it seems likely that he would have included him in the painting.
