At the age of 13 he became the organist of St. Peter's Church, Denver. In 1908 David McKinley Williams went to New York to serve as the organist of Grace Church Chapel. He moved to Paris in 1911 for study with some of the best known French organists of the time. Upon his return, he served as organist of the Church of the Holy Communion in New York. He served in the Royal Canadian Artillery in World War I and returned to his New York position in 1920. After only six months, he was appointed organist and choirmaster of St. Bartholomew's Church, New York. He held this position until his retirement in 1947.

Hey, pastor at Leina, near Gotha, was born at Leina, March 26, 1789. He studied at the Universities of Jena and Göttingen, became in 1811 licentiate in theology, and, after varied tutorial work, was appointed in 1818 pastor at Töttelstadt, near Gotha. In 1827 he became court preacher at Gotha, where his preaching attracted large audiences, but being regarded as a Pietist, was in 1832 appointed superintendent of Ichtershausen. He died at Ichtershausen, May 19, 1854 (Koch, vii. 262-266; Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie, xii. 344-345; MS. from Pfarrer Ortlob of Leina). Hey's poems were mostly written for children. The best known are his Fabeln für Kinder, with illustrations by Otto Speckter, of which the first fifty appeared at Hamburg, 1833, the second fifty in 1837. Since then they have passed through a large number of editions in German, and have been several times translated into English. At the end of each series is a "Serious Appendix," containing religious and moral songs. The whole of these two Appendices have been translated into English as Hymns and Poems for Little Children. Translated from the German. London, 1853. Also in the Fifty Fables, 1867, and Other Fifty Fables, 1869, translated by Sophie Klingemann, and published by F. A. Perthes at Gotha.

Thomas Davenport

1815 - 1888 Author of "Zion to praise the Lamb" Thomas Davenport was born April 1, 1815 in Brampton, Derby, England. He was baptized April 21, 1847 while his wife, Sarah Burrows Davenport, was baptized a few weeks later on June 8, 1847. His obituary states that “he was set apart as a traveling elder to preach the gospel, Nov. 16, 1847” and he continued in that capacity for 12 more years. His obituary states, “He (Thomas worked six days each week at his trade of potter and traveled and preached on Sunday.” Through his efforts in Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire, he founded several branches of the church, including Bolsover and Derbyshire. He traveled on foot, an estimated 1,849 miles, and helped bring 50 persons into the church, his family history states. Some time in 1849, Thomas made the decision to come to America and join members of the LDS Church in Utah. Arriving in New Orleans on Dec 24, 1849, he began keeping a journal. He notes that his ship continued sailed north up the Mississippi River on Dec. 30, arriving in St. Louis, Missouri on Jan. 11, 1850. He then continued west to Pottawatomie, Iowa, residing in Key Creek during the winter of 1851. On June 20, 1852, his family left Key Creek to join up with a 16th company of Saints led by Captain Uriah Curtis, which consisted of 365 church members, according to the family history. Thomas’s family and members of the 16th company arrived in the Salt Lake Valley on Oct. 8, 1852. Thomas then records that he was counseled to head south to Iron County and start a pottery trade. Despite having just traveled 1,500 miles across the Great Plains, Thomas and his family then traveled another 250 miles to the Little Salt Lake Valley, arriving in Parowan on Nov. 4, 1852. Parowan was first settled on Jan. 13, 1851 by a group of pioneers headed by LDS apostle George A. Smith, according to The History of Iron County Mission Parowan, Utah, compiled by Luella Adams Dalton. In Parowan, the Davenports moved into a house owned by a Brother Moss. After 16 days, “they moved into an adobe house acquired in trade from a Brother Glispy for the three steers and wagon Thomas had brought across the plains. Later he traded for a log cabin and ten shares of land. The land he farmed while getting established in his pottery business,” the Davenport history states. Eventually, Davenport’s pottery wares “could be seen in every home all thru the southern settlements,” and his pottery came to be called “Davenportware. Each piece could be identified as his thumbprint was placed in the workable clay before it was fired,” the family history states. Davenport was also involved with farming, in addition to the pottery business. In the 1860s, he was also involved in an effort to mine coal in Summit, though the venture was less than successful. At the time of his arrival in Parowan, Davenport’s family consisted of his wife, children, William, 15, John, almost 8, Sarah Ann, 5, and James, 1. Sarah gave birth to another son on Feb. 14, 1854, named Orson Valentine, but the child died from flu on Aug. 26, 1854. “Family activities centered around gardening, soap making, selling pottery and music,” the family history states. Davenport also became heavily involved in helping to raise funds for building the Rock Church in Parowan. He also is believed to have served as a director of the Parowan Branch of the United Order, and as alderman, city councilor, and treasurer of Parowan City. The United Order in Parowan lasted only from March 9, 1875 to 1876 since most of the city residents did not enter into the communal organization. Meanwhile, Davenport’s church career was spent doing missionary work and doing temple ordinance work for deceased family ancestors. He served as a counselor to two ward bishops and 10 years as a member of the Parowan Stake High Council. He also sang in the ward choir “rarely missing a practice or meeting,” the Davenport history states. “Genealogy and temple work also occupied his time with ordinance work being conducted on behalf of his kindred dead first in Salt Lake at the Endowment House and later at the dedicated St. George Temple,” the family history states. Thomas died Jan. 22, 1888 in Parowan while his wife, Sarah Davenport died May 20, 1882 in Parowan, according to a Feb. 2, 1888 Deseret Evening News obituary. --www.kcsg.com/view/full_story/22047201/article-SOUTHERN-UTAH-MEMORIES (excerpts)
