An Enduring Legacy, Volume Three, p. 111 ~ Addison Everett, one of the original pioneers of Utah, was the Eighth Ward's first bishop. He was born October 10, 1805, in Walkil, Orange County, New York, a son of Ephraim and Deborah Carwin Everett. He became a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1837 and was said to have been the first man to be baptized in the New York Branch. He gathered with a number of the Saints in Nauvoo where he worked as a carpenter on the temple. Although his formal education was limited, he was respected for his practical and logical reasoning. His first call to leadership came when he was made bishop of the Twenty-first Ward, Camp of Israel, at Winter Quarters.
Addison was a pioneer of 1847, coming as a member of the first company that arrived in the Salt Lake Valley. He drove one of President Young's ox teams and traveled in J. Grant's company. After arriving in the Valley, Mr. Everett returned the same season to meet his family, whom he expected to find at Winter Quarters. When he left them, they had had no team with which to travel, but he met them at Sweetwater on their way to the Valley. Through the mercies of God, an ox team was found astride the tongue of their wagon one morning. They never found out where this team came from. His wife took this as a sign that she should follow her husband and they were only a few weeks' journey behind the first company.
Having served as bishop of the Eighth Ward for a number of years, he was called to the Southern Utah Mission and arrived at St. George, Utah, on December 15, 1861. He lived there until his death January 12, 1885, having spent most of his life and means working to further the cause of his Church and helping to build his community and state. — Milton Moody
Our Pioneer Heritage, Vol. 2, p. 511 ~ Another member of this group trained along the lines of carpentry, which trade so many times proved useful in repairing the wagons along the route, was Addison Everett who had been a ship carpenter in his native state. He was born in Wallkill, Orange county, New York, October 10, 1805, to Ephraim and Deborah Carwin Everett, and was among the first Latter-day Saint Church converts in that area. He was baptized by Elijah Fordham and confirmed by Elder Parley P. Pratt, later becoming president of that branch of the church.
Mr. Everett gathered with other Saints in Nauvoo in 1844, and after the exodus of his co-religionists from that city, he was chosen by President Young as one of the pioneer company. He started back to Winter Quarters that same season, but met his wife, Orpha Maria Redfield, and family near the Sweetwater and brought them into the valley in the fall. He served as bishop of the Eighth Ward for a number of years, then, in 1861, was called to the Dixie Mission, where he did much toward the settlement and growth of that part of the territory. He assisted in building Fort Supply and was always considered an honored friend of the Indians. He worked on the St. George Temple and after its completion, labored just as diligently in doing the work for his kindred dead. He died in St. George, 2 January 1885. — Milton Moody
