On December 17, 1901, the first church in Orderville was dedicated by Apostle A. O. Woodruff of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This bell hung in the tower and was used each Sunday to call people to church. It was also used to warn people of fires until the building was torn down in 1956.

Located at 110 East State Street in Orderville, Utah at the D.U.P. Museum (see Old Rock Schoolhouse).

Battlefield Cross

The helmet and identification tags signify the fallen soldier, their name never to be forgotten. The inverted rifle with bayonet signals a time for prayer, a break in the action to pay tribute to our friend.

The combat boots, worn and dirty, represent the final march of the soldier’s last battle.

This is located in front of the Sandy City Hall in Sandy, Utah
