Mother Electa
Having just added Electa Beal Westover’s profile to the site we felt this was a good time as well to debut a video that can be shared about her.
Electa is a key individual in the story of several generations of 20th century Westovers.
Her sweeping tale is caught up in the migration of Latter-day Saints in the push west but more importantly her example of faith is compelling and inspiring. She may have come along a little too soon for photography but we still hold out hope of one day finding a image of her. If you know of any or of additional histories of Electa that have been written please share them with us.
