Jonathan Heaton and His Fifteen Sons

AMERICA 143 the Lord did bring Mulek into the land north" (Hel. 6:10). The "land north" is still especially known by that glorious name, which, in a broader sense, coven, as on Mercator's map, two great continents. And thus, that name, in its modern form, America, is an omnipresent, unimpeachable witness for the truth of the Book of Mormon. JONATHAN HEATON AND HIS FIFTEEN SONS It is doubtful whether anywhere in the country, except among the Lat- ter-day Saints, a picture such as the above can be produced. It is a photo of Jonathan Heaton and his fifteen sons, taken in 1905-6. Mr. Heaton is a resident of Moccasin, located in the Arizona strip. The names, commencing with the father, who stands at the head, to the right are: Jonathan Heaton, William H., Jonathan B., Israel H., Charles C, Ira H., Fred C, Junius, Christopher C, Edward C. Front: Daniel H., Lynn, Sterling, Harold, Gil- bert and Tomiltz, H. Tomiltz died about three years ago, that is, in 1917, as the result of a horse falling on him, and William H. was killed while cut- ting wheat two years ago. One remarkable characteristic of the whole family is that not one of them has tasted tea, coffee, tobacco or liquor of any kind. A number of them have filled missions and some of them are counselors to stake presi- dents and bishops, and all are workers in the stakes and wards of the Church, in the places where they live. All of them, except Tomiltz, were registered in the last world war.
