Benjamin Franklin Lewis was my 3rd great grandfather on my father's side. He was only 35 years old when he was killed and buried in the well at Hawn's Mill. He had 6 small children when he was massacred ranging in age from 11 years to a baby. I always think of how scared they must have been.

Thank you for the tender focus of your photos and words! That site is such a relevant part of our family history. And it makes me ponder more about the positions of the Anti-Nephi-Lehi's...people of Ammon...and how our dear relatives moved forward after that hideous attack.
Thank you. We so appreciate our time with you in China.
