Anthony Paxton helped finance Nadsaid [?sp] Store used for store and post office.

Henry Whatcott, son of Isobel Paxton Whatcott and Alfred Whatcott was born in Middlesboro, York, England, Sept. 26, 1857. His parents joined the church and early in the Spring of 1863, they set sail for the United States. Upon arrival, the family traveled by train as far west as Florence Nebraska. There they met ox teams sent from Utah to meet the immigrants. Henry walked part of the distance across the plains.

The family arrived in Utah the fall of 1863 and went to a sheep ranch at Parowan, then on to Panguitch where Henry's father was drowned. His mother and family, three boys and a girl, next moved to Kanosh. From then on Henry worked wherever he could find a job to help support the family, as soon as he was old enough he helped build a home for his mother. He married Louisa Manhard and had one daughter and six sons.

Henry was a freighter and mason by trade and many of the homes he helped build in Kanosh are still standing today. [The person who copied this used some shorthand. Since I can't read it I will put ... where the shorthand is.] He ... mason... his eyesight failed him, and finally, in 1927, he ... wife and daughter. Both died in 1936, and since that time he has made his home with a son in Lynndyl. His son Irvin's wife, is a most kind and gracious lady to Bro. Whatcott. Henry is proud of the fact that he had four grandsons on missions at the same time, 2 of them in Scotland. Henry Whatcott did most of the mason work on the following houses built in Kanosh, most of which are still standing. [see p. 363-364]
