Autumn Visions kit by Creative Victorian Designs
In response to the Heritage Challenge on http://www.creativevictorian.com I created this layout of my Great Great Grandfather. He fathered 15 children that we know of. And probably had more than one wife that we have yet to find. He was an LDS (Mormon) pioneer, as were many of my ancestors.
Alfred Fisk Stout
Birth: 9 MAR 1851
Kannesville,Pottawatomi,Iowa
Death: 20 NOV 1925
Hurricane,Washington Co.,Utah
I remember when we had one of these clocks hanging on our wall. Until my mom and step-dad got married. The maid of honor and best man came and redecorated our house; pouring 5 lbs of rice in their bed, t.p.'d the entire house, put pots n pans in the frig, and turned the clock upside down, among other things (my room was safe though..whew). The clock kept time after that, but her tail and eyes remained still :(

Hi, my name is Natalie and my third great uncle is Alfred Fisk Stout. I know we're talking about the same one because of his birth and death info. The following is from his nephew's book:
Alfred was born March 9, 1851 at Kanesville, Pottawattamie County, Iowa, near Council Bluffs; married Mary Emma Langston March 7, 1872. Mary was the daughter of John and Clarinda Phillips Langston, born February 15, 1859 at Alpine, Utah. Mary died February 2, 1938 at Hurricane and was buried in Rockville.
Fifteen children came from this union: Mary Clarinda, born September 12, 1873 in Rockville, (where all the children were born.) Mary married Henry Hirschi February 20, 1890. Henry Hirschi was killed in an auto accident January 9, 1944. Martha, born November 21, 1875; died November 29, 1875. Alfred Fisk, born November 1, 1876; married Dora M. Hall March 24, 1898. Dora died July 1, 1940. Alfred married Annie Webb Wilkinson March 19, 1942. Louisa Melvina, born August 28, 1879; died October 15, 1879. Annie Laura, born April 14, 1881 ; married Philetus Jones December 23, 1898. Minerva, born March 16, 1884 ; died October 22, 1886. Lionel Langston, born June 22, 1886; killed July 28, 1908. Elmer, born March 27, 1889; married Carrie Johnson January 25, 1917. Carrie died February 5, 1920. Elmer married Abigail Walker McAllister (born May 16, 1898 in St. George) November 30, 1922. Four children were born to this couple. Sylvia, born January 11, 1892; married Richard R. Carey August 15, 1912. Six children
were born to them. Ernest Franklin, born July 24, 1894;
married Clothiel Free June 2, 1912. One girl was born before
they were divorced in 1919. Ernest married Ida English April
5, 1925. They had one son, Victor, born December 27,1896; died January 13, 1899. Clinton Tracy, born February 27, 1898; married Leah Jones January 12, 1918. They
had six children. Homer Bryon, born January 29, 1901; married Ada Baker July 19, 1922. Hosea Afton, born November 7, 1903 ; married Druzella Madsen September 26, 1923.
Alfred was a fine product of Mormonism. Born in times of adversity, Alfred's life illustrates how character is purified by adversities. He was a farmer, lumberman and expert frontiersman. He could be called "Utah's Daniel Boone." He died as he had lived, a genuine Mormon, who knew how to live his religion. The end came November 20, 1925, in Hurricane; he was buried in Rockville.

P.S. The picture you have is of Allen Joseph Stout, Alfred's father.
