Shadrach Roundy 

Painting  by Jordan Reasor Anjewierden, for 2017 First Annual Kirtland Art Gathering, works about residents of Kirtland in the 1830's, shown in Kirtland, Ohio LDS Visitors Center.

I was Jim's colleague at Nebraska when I learned of his extra credit opportunity. I moved on to the Univ. of Minnesota, and one day an advertising class student asked about extra credit. Without thinking, I offered identification of Shadrach Roundy.

A week later, they were perplexed. "Are you SURE Shadrach Roundy is related to advertising?" My response, "No.This a challenge to your effort and imagination."

A week later, no success and more grumbling. So I offered a clue, unlike Jim. Minneapolis is hundreds of miles from Fremont, not just 50. My clue: his name is on a monument in Fremont, NE.

On the due date, 4 students submitted correct response. Three, working independently, had taken the path I expected. Not finding a phone listing for a Freemont Historical Society, they found that Fremont is in Dodge County. They did find a listing for a Dodge County Historical Society, and each called to inquire. The perplexed person who answered took pity and identified Mr. Roundy.

The 4th student haunted the library, and one of the librarians made this her quest too. For 3 weeks, nothing. But a 2 days before the deadline, she told him she had a clue. Some historical account of an election identified "the Mormon, Shadrach Roundy" as a candidate's supporter . . but nothing further.

The student went to the [local Mormon Family History Libray] and asked to use their library. They agreed, but saw that he was not successful and asked who he was looking for. None were familiar with Shadrach Roundy. But one said there was a member, Paul Roundy, in St. Paul.

Once the student convinced him he was legit, the 3-times great-grandson of Shadrach Roundy provided the needed information. He knew a lot about his ancestor, but not about the monument in Freemont.

That night, I called Jim and told him the story. He volunteered to take some photos of the monument and send them for the student to take to Paul Roundy.

Dial forward 6 years, about 1985. I am back in the advertising business in Dallas. At some point I shared my Shadrach Roundy story with my employees. Dial forward again. One day the company librarian tells me she's getting calls from students and the U of Texas at Dallas, asking about Shadrach Roundy. One of my guys was teaching a course there. Someone had asked about extra credit.

Dial forward again, to 2010 . . eating a sandwich at my desk in Raleigh, and Shadrach came into my mind. In 15-seconds, I had everything about Shadrach Roundy on my computer monitor. Thanks Google. So, no more extra credit opportunities. 

But everyone in my family can tell you about this old Mormon. It is almost like he is a member of our family too.

"Grandfather Shadrach"

"Grandfather Shadrach", poem by Vilate R. McAllister.

 (This poem was given at the Roundy Family Reunion held July 22nd, 1947 in Salt Lake City)

Grandfather Shadrach One hundred years have rolled away,
Grandfather Shadrach, since that day
That you and the members of that brave band
First set your feet on this barren land.
You came in advance of Brigham Young.‘‘ere that famous phrase had rolled from his tongue,
And we learn you engaged in a plowing race!
How did you know “This was the place?”
How did you feel, when you first beheld
This desert valley, all sagebrush-filled?
And stretching out there in the summer sun, without even a tree-oh yes, just one!
Did it look like a haven, a promised land?
Did it fit with the future that you had planned for your sons and daughters, and theirs sons, too?
Or did that desolation that met your view,
Shake for a moment your new-found faith
In the Prophet you’d guarded before his death?
In the gospel message that you had heard?
In the leader, Brigham’s promised word?
I look in the eyes of your pictured face,
At the character lines that the wrinkles trace,
And I see there a vision and depth of soul
That could see past these things to a farther goal.
Courage and faith are written there,
And determination, and power to share
In the labor and hardships that must be made.
And I’m sure you were dauntless and unafraid.
They recognized your sterling worth,
Those leaders who gave our gospel birth:
Aid to the prophet, his body-guard, friend, he gave you his trust to the very end.
And proven and tried, Brigham honored you, too,
With responsibilities placed on you.
Captain of fifty, high council-man,
A leader among your fellowman,
A leader, a servant, a friend to all,
With valiance and courage you answered each call,
You plowed and planted, and builded and schemed,
And you served your fellows, and you prayed, and dreamed,
And you conquered the desert with sweat and toil,
And an Eden sprang from the barren soil
An Eden that most of us now call home,
And that beckons us back, where’er we may roam.
Grandfather Shadrach, could you be near,
And see your posterity gathered here,
As you looked us over, how would you feel?
I can’t help but wonder what thoughts would steal
Into your mind. Would you feel a joy
As you looked at each person, each girl and boy,
Each man and woman that are your seed?
I think you would. You’d rejoice, indeed,
To see this assemblage gathered here, To honor you, and your name revere.
And perhaps you’d say, “here is my reward
For my years of labor and toil so hard,
For my faith and courage, and vision true.”
Yes, Grandfather Shadrach, I think that you
Would be proud of us, as we are of you.

Roundy Farmed First to Keep Zion Growing

Roundy Farmed First to Keep Zion Growing 

written by Elizabeth Schoenfeld (staff writer), Deseret News, 28 June 1981 

          Shadrach Roundy plowed the soil and planted crops in Salt Lake Valley the day before Brigham Young and the rest of his company of pioneers entered “the place which God prepared.”
          At 11:30 a.m. on July 23, 1847, the advance party staked off a little farm. At noon, three plows were digging up the soil. At 2 p.m., a dam was constructed across City Creek.
          Potatoes, beans, corn, buckwheat and turnips were planted. There was not time to waste as July was late for these crops.
          Roundy was one of the oldest pioneers to come to the great Basin that summer. He was 58 years old and was older than the Prophet Joseph Smith, older than Brigham Young and most of the other Mormon leaders.
          From his baptism in the first year of the organization of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to his death in July 1872, he could be heard telling of his faith during the early days of persecution, the five times he crossed the plains and his role in the settlement of the West. Roundy had been a close friend of the Prophet and was mentioned more than 30 times in [Joseph] Smith’s personal diary.
          Roundy had been called a bishop by revelation and his name appears in the 124th Section of the Doctrine and Covenants.
          An historian described Roundy as “fully 6 feet tall, raw-boned and muscular, weighing slightly less than 200 pounds.” Another wrote, “He was exceptionally amiable and greatly enjoyed conversation. He had a vivid, active mind and an unusually good memory.”
          When he was 24 or 25, he married Betsy Quimby and they were the parents of 10 children.She had the qualifications of a New England lady — gentle, refined, intelligent, longsuffering, patient. “She endured hardships cheerfully,” a historian wrote.
          The Roundy family was generous with time, love and money.
          They followed their faith from Fayette, N.Y., to Kirtland, Ohio, to Nauvoo, Ill., and other areas where they were needed.
          On May 7, 1835, members of the church presidency laid their hands on the heads of 119 men who had consecrated their property and labor to build the Kirtland Temple. Roundy was the 33rd man to receive the blessing.
          On Jan. 29, 1839, when Brigham Young was leading the Saints from Missouri, many of the leaders entered into a covenant to stand by and assist one another and “never desert the poor who are worthy.” The Covenant was signed by 380 stalwarts and Shadrach Roundy was the ninth person to sign.
          Not only was Roundy a bodyguard for Joseph Smith, he was the Prophet’s guard and assistant aide-de-camp on his staff. On several occasions, Roundy accompanied him to Monmouth, Carthage and other towns in Illinois, while Joseph stood trial.
          Two days before leaving Nauvoo for Carthage, on May 24, 1844, the Prophet wrote in his journal: “I had a long talk with Edward Hunter, my brother Hyrum, Dr. Richards, William Marks, Almon W. Babbit, Shadrach Roundy, Edward Romney and other, and concluded not to keep out of the way of the officers any longer.”
          On special occasions in Nauvoo and Springfield, when parties had been held almost exclusively for church officials, Roundy and his wife were also invited, although Roundy did not hold a high church office.
          Among his accomplishments, Roundy became a captain of 50 on the trek west. He served as bishop of the Fifth Ward in Winter Quarters. In August 1847, he was assigned to head a

 Page 2 of 2 

company to return to Winter Quarters to bring another group of pioneers west. He became one of 12 men appointed to the first high council in Salt Lake City. During the latter part of his life he was a patriarch.
          Roundy was a merchant and instrumental, with others, in the establishment of ZCMI. He always considered Salt Lake City his home.
          While their own children were growing up and leaving, the Roundys opened their home to other children. Betsy Quimby raised two orphan boys. Then she took in several girls, of which two were her own motherless granddaughters.
          In 1859, orphaned Lydia Ann Wright, still a baby, was taken into the Roundy home. She lived with them until she was 16 years old and capable of earning her own living.
          At 16, she was presented with a sugar bowl, the only preserved possession of her mother.
          Shadrach died at 83, Betsy at 87. They are buried side by side in the Salt Lake City Cemetery.

Men in Modern Scripture - Shadrach Roundy

MEN IN MODERN SCRIPTURE

Shadrach Roundy

          In appointing the general officers of the Church after the Prophet Joseph Smith was released from Liberty Jail (Doctrine and Covenants, Section 124), the Lord designated Shadrach Roundy as a counselor to Vinson Knight "to preside over the bishopric." (Vs. 141).
          The Presiding Bishopric, Edward Partridge, had died in 1840, and in the same section, given in January, 1841, at Nauvoo, George Miller was appointed Presiding Bishopric (124:21).  He was sustained at the Oct. 7, 1844 conference of the Church, but was dropped at the conference of April, 1847.
          The appointment of the second bishopric, including Shadrach Roundy, differed from that of the Presiding Bishopric but what it's roll was is not recorded.
          Shadrach remained faithful throughout his life.  He heard of the gospel and in the winter of 1830-31, traveled on horseback from his home in Onondago County, New York, to Fayette, to see the Prophet Joseph.  Following the meeting, Shadrach was baptized.  His wife and 10 children - four sons and siz daughters - also joined the Church.
The Roundys moved to Kirtland, Ohio, and later went to Missouri where they suffered persecution.  In 1840, the family settled in Nauvoo, Shadrack was appointed captain of the police, and in times of danger, acted as a special bodyguard for Joseph Smith.  Sometimes he was on duty for days and nights continuously seeing the the Prophet and his family were protected.

           [Joined the Council of Fifty following after June 27, 1844, and under the leadership of                Brigham Young]

          [Shadrach served as Bishop of the 5th Ward at Winter Quarters.]
          Shadrach and his family traveled west with the Church when it was expelled from Nauvoo.  He was a member of the first Pioneer company into Salt lake Valley, and was a member of the committee organized to see that crops were planted immediately.  Historians differ as to who actually plowed the first furrow, but by noon of July 24, members of the advance party had plowed and planted about five acres of potatoes.  Shadrach Roundy, as a member of the committee, of course, took part.
          Later, he served as a member of the first high council in the Salt Lake Stake.  He was a member of the first high council in the Salt lake Stake. He was a member of the first territorial legislature, and served also as a captain in the "Silver Greys."
          Elder Roundy crossed the plains five times to aid emigrants to the valley.  He settled in the Sixteenth Ward, one of the original 19 wards, and was named bishop in 1849.  He served until 1856, and died in 1872, "atrue and faithful member of the Church."

FIFTY YEARS AGO TODAY,

SUNDAY, APRIL 25 1847.

Shadrach Roundy [pictured] 

(Thought to have been the eldest member of the Pioneer Band.  From a tin type loaned by his granddaughter , Mrs. Oliver Gallup.)

          A quiet Sunday was passed in the pioneer camp.  Services were held in the afternoon, and an address was delivered by  President Brigham Young, standing near the wagons.  in the course of his remarks he gave some further counsel upon the mode of traveling and the care to be taken in being prepared for danger each night.
          At night Thomas Woolsey, Thomas Brown, John Brown, Porter Rockwell, John S. Higbee and Joseph Matthews were named as the official buffalo hunters on the trip, as they had horses not attached to any teams.  the following were also maned as foot hunters: John Pack, Phineas H. Young, Tariton Lewis, Joseph Hancock, Edmund Ellsworth, Roswell Stevens, Edson Shipple, Barnabas Adams, Ben Streart and Jackson [can't read the reat of this line]...
          The hunters were named because the game was becoming plentiful, and it was the desire of the leaders to have killed only what was needed in the camp, and it was also their idea to prevent promiiscouous hunting by the whole party.  On sunday afternoon several antelope passed near the camp.

          Shadrach Roundy, whose portrait appears with this issue, was probably the eldest of the 143 Original pioneers of Utah.  He was born in Windham county, Vermont, on New Year's day, 1789, and died in Salt Lake July 4, 1872.  Although 58 years of age when the band made its march across the plains, yet he was always to the front in all the undertakings and adventures of the pioneers.  In the military organization of the band he was major on the staff of Lieut.-Gen. Brigham Young.  Mr. Roundy was also a captain of one of the companies of fifty. 

_____________________

          Nathaniel Thomas Brown was shot at Council Bluffs, Ia., in February, 1848, just as he was preparing to travel across the plains again to Utah.  He is among those of the original pioneers of Utah whose picture cannot be obtained.

          Jacob D. Burnham, another member of the band, died in California in 1850: /Carlos Murray was killed by the Indians on the Humboldt river in  1853, and George Mills did in salt Lake in 1854.  They were all prominently identified with all the doings of the pioneer train in its march to Utah.

GREAT SALT LAKE CITY, July 18, 1857.

Shadrach Roundy was one of the 'Original Pioneers' and at this time was Bishop of the 16th Ward in Great Salt Lake City.  

"The Sixteenth Ward was located between South Temple and Second North, and Ran from Second West on the East, to the Jordan River on the west.  A large part of the land was lowlands and covered with water, but after turning the three channels of City Creek into one channel in 1856, and conveying the water along North Temple Street directly to the Jordan River, nost of the lowland near the river was reclaimed and settled.  Originally, the middle channel of City Creek ran through the Sixteenth Ward.  That part of the ward lying west of Ninth West between North Temple and Second North was not inhabited.  Later it was known as 'Agricultural Park,' and still later it was designated as the State Fairgrounds...."

"...The organization of the ward dates from 1849.  Isaac Higbee was ordained bishop on February 22, 1849, but acted only for a few weeks.  On April 14, 1849 Shadrach Roundy was ordained bishop...."

"...The 16th Ward was the second ward to organize a Relief Society.  It was organized by Bishop Roundy on the tenth of June 1854, and was known as 'The Benevolent Society' (probably so-named in memory of the first Relief Society of the Church organized by the Prophet Joseph Smith.) until January 27, 1855, when the name was changed to the Relief society."

"Pattie Sessions was called to serve as the first president.  She was Utah's most famous midwife who safely delivered over two-thousand women in childbirth, having been set apart for this work by the Prophet Joseph Smith in Nauvoo...."  (Tales of a Triumphant People, A History of Salt Lake County, Utah 1847-1900.)

July 24, 1857

"Holiday traffic jams have a long Utah history. On July 23, 1857, the logging road leading to Silver Lake (now Brighton) in Big Cottonwood Canyon was crowded with guests invited to a celebration of the tenth anniversary of the arrival of the Mormon pioneers. By mid-afternoon, 2,587 people, riding in 464 carriages and wagons, with 1,360 horses, mules, and oxen to pull them, had passed up the canyon road.

Serenaded by brass bands from Salt Lake City, Springville, and Ogden, the people set up camp near the lake. Companies of the Nauvoo Legion (the Utah militia) paraded and drilled. At sunset, a bugle call summoned the people to prayer. Brigham Young spoke of the arrival of the pioneers, and how God had blessed them to create a garden in the desert. A prayer of thanksgiving was followed by an evening of dancing in three plank-floored boweries built for the party."

"Pioneer Day began with breakfast prepared over hundreds of small campfires. The American flag flew from treetops and from nearby rocky peaks. Just after 9:00, rounds were fired from a small brass cannon in honor of Mormon leaders, and again an hour later to salute a parade of 10- to 12-year-old boys. For the most part, the crowds relaxed in small groups, went swimming and boating, or played on swings suspended from tree limbs.

About noon, four dusty horsemen – Abraham O. Smoot, Judson Stoddard, Porter Rockwell, and Elias Smith – arrived in camp, bringing the news for which Pioneer Day, 1857, is best remembered: The displeasure of the federal government with what they believed were conditions of anarchy in Utah had reached the boiling point. A large portion of the United States Army, estimated at 2,500 men, were marching toward Utah, beginning what we know today as the Utah War...." 

"....Daniel H. Wells, a counselor to Brigham Young and future mayor of Salt Lake City, announced the news to the assembled campers. They recognized the gravity of the situation, but there was no panic, no angry speeches, and no dampening of the celebration. Soon enough the people of Utah would turn to defending their homes and families against what many considered to be an unlawful, unjustified mob invasion, but for the rest of that Pioneer Day they would celebrate the success of their ten years in the wilderness."

"The evening was spent in songs and toasts, 'after which,' according to reporter George D. Watt, 'dancing and general hilarity continued to a late hour.'

"Camp was broken early on the morning of July 25th, with a long and orderly train of wagons and carriages proceeding down the mountain and back to the city."  (By: Ardis E. Parshall - November 19, 2008)
