Dawn Guerdon Bean in Joseph Stoker Thurgood's Picture Album
My husband's father, Joseph Stoker Thurgood was serving an LDS mission in Toronto, Canada 1919-1921. The mission headquarters were in Rochester, New York. He and many other missionaries were traveling together to a mission conference at the mission headquarters in Rochester, New York when they stopped on their way at the Smith Farm in Palmyra, NY on their way. Dad put three pictures on one page of his photo album of his trip to Palmyra, this one of Dawn Guerdon Bean in the arms of Joseph Stoker Thurgood, one of his mother Sister Rebecca Bean with Willard's daughter Phyllis Dee Beam from Willard's first marriage and one of the Sacred Grove where young Joseph Smith Jr. prayed and received a visitation from Heavenly Father and his Son Jesus Christ. It was such a delight to realize that our Daddy was one of the many missionaries who stopped at the home of Willard and Rebecca Bean on the Smith Family Farm in Palmyra, New York, although they stayed in a hotel in Palmyra. Their lives of service, sacrifice and Faith combine throughout time... touching our own.
