Did you get any responses yet? I am sure that the book is at the Utah Genealogical Society in Salt Lake, and I plan to make a trip there in about 2 months. Thank you for tipping me off to the book. If you don't get a bite from Jefferson County, let me know, and I'll be happy to look it up when I next go to Salt Lake.
