Margaret Stark is the daughter of Mary Donald and William James Stark. She married John Lazear October 9, 1873 in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Margaret Stark was born in 1857 in Pollockshaws, Fife, Scotland. In 1872 Margaret's widowed mother took the little Stark family to Denmark to board a ship for New York. They then crossed the country by train, arriving in Salt Lake City in Sept. 1872.
Lazear and Stark met in Salt Lake City and were married in 1873 in a little log church Lazear had helped build in Temple Square. The church sent the young couple to St. George, Utah with a group of missionaries to build the St. George Temple. While in St. George, they had four children, Mary Lazear, John Lazear, James Stark Lazear and Peter Lazear. Mary died and is buried there.
From St. George, the church sent the Lazears and others to Arizona Territory. On the journey, Margaret Stark Lazear's mother died and was buried at Sunset City, north of Winslow.
The Lazears and others continued to Mormon Lake and onto Nash Point, where the wagon boxes had to be lowered by ropes. Leading the oxen and horses down the Rim, the group arrived in Pine Valley in Oct. 1881. The cabin they built is now the Gingerbread House at the corner of Randall Drive and Highway 87 in Pine.
In Pine, John and Margaret Lazear had five more children: Annie Belle Lazear Hunt; William Stark Lazear; Agnes Lazear Ogilvie; Walter Lazear; George Lazear; and Joseph Lazear.
