Mormon Tabernacle Choir Makes Special Stop in Our Area

Wednesday, June 19th, 2013 -- 8:46 AM

-The Mormon Tabernacle Choir will make a special stop on its Upper Midwest Tour today to honor the Mormon pioneer loggers whose remarkable labor built a city central to the history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

A commemorative historical marker paid for and donated by the members of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir will be erected at the Field of Honor Park in Black River Falls and near the sawmills where the Latter-day Saint loggers milled the timber that was harvested mainly on three streams in the Neillsville area.

In recognition of the pioneers? hard work and ingenuity, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir will perform specially prepared musical numbers for members of the community.

Black River Falls Mayor Ron Danielson will conduct the recognition event, which will begin at 10:00 a.m. at the Field of Honor Park. Signage for parking will be posted throughout the city.

Church members in Neillsville and surrounding areas have kept their forebears? memories alive for over a century. ?They came here to honor God,? says Mary Jurgaitis, a Latter-day Saint who lives a half a block from an early Mormon logging site.
