Since Alice is still alive, a daughter has requested that the marker be removed until her death. Instead of removing it we are showing just Grant's half.

Grant R. Dalton was born on January 8, 1925, in Salt Lake City, Utah, to Patrick Daly and Ora Victoria Johnson Dalton. He grew up in Arizona. He died on October 16, 1999, in Salt Lake City, Utah, due to complications following surgery.

He married Alice Beth Brasher on November 21,

1951, in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. They are the parents of Kathleen (David) Woodbury, Debra (Gerald) Larsen, Marilee (Galen) McQuarrie of Washington, David (Carla), and Robert (Patricia) of Illinois. They are also the grandparents of 20 grandchildren.

He served in the United States Air Force from 1943 to 1945. After World War II, he served an LDS Mission in the British Isles with President Selvoy Boyer. He was always an active membe Church. He received a bachelors degree in History, then a masters degree in Educational Psychology, and finally an Educational Specialist degree in Educational Administration, all from the University of Utah.

He worked most of his life as a secondary school educator and counselor. He taught at Valley Junior High School, then worked as a counselor at Kearns Junior High School, and later Granger High School. As an administrator, he helped open Kearns High School and Cottonwood High School, and he finished out his career at Olympus High School. He loved working with young people.

He also loved history, especially Utah history. He participated in Sons of the Utah Pioneers and in the Mormon Battalion. He enjoyed sitting on the porch of the general store in Old Deseret at Pioneer Trails State Park, woodcarving and telling stories from Utah history.

He was preceded in death by his parents and his sister Mary Ellen "Patsy", and he is survived by his wife; five children, their spouses, and their children; brothers, Pat (Lela), currently serving an LDS Mission in Hawaii; Lynn (Davida) of Oregon; sister, Lynnette (Werner) Verhaaren of Texas, and their families.
