So shall it be with my father: he shall be called a prince over his posterity, holding the keys of the patriarchal priesthood over the kingdom of God on earth, even the Church of the Latter Day Saints, and he shall sit in the general assembly of patriarchs, even in council with the Ancient of Days when he shall sit and all the patriarchs with him and shall enjoy his right and authority under the direction of the Ancient of Days. |

Notes - Thomas George MacArthur traveled from Iowa to Oregon with his parents to Oregon in a covered wagon. There was three children all together including Thomas. Thomas lived in Oregon and went to college and to help earn money in the summer he would take his college books and herd sheep, study, and run for exercise everyday. He worked as a school teacher for 37 years and then later as state superintendant of Oregon schools. After the death of his first wife he moved to Richfield, Idaho. His wife had visited Idaho and loved it so much so he went there to live. He bought a farm and grubbed out a home stead. He said he could grub out with a double edged pick axe. He would take out sagebrush swinging forward and take out another when the swing was coming back the other way. He could walk to his farm from the homestead. He had crops and milk cows. He had a bull that he paid $800 for and his son Rae MacArthur and a neighbor went over and roped and killed this bill which broke Thomas financially. THis was during the depression and he was not able to pay the taxes so he lost the farm, homestead, and the hardwood forest in Oregon that he had. He was going to use the bull to take around to the farmers to earn money by greeding with their cattle. That was a lot of money in that day and age. Agatha had gone to Richfield to see a man that she was engaged to and when she found him to turn out to be worthless and lazy so she went back home. She went back to Mrs. Stanley who helped raise her in Twin Falls. She then went back to Richfield to see Thomas, whom she had met at a dance, and she told him 'Mr. MacArthur I have come to get away with you.' He went to see her where she was raised and they went to a dance and these two other guys got in an argument over her and Thomas grabbed them by the nap of the neck and took them outside. He was so strong that he butted both of their heads together and told them if they wanted to fight to do so outside. Gordon met with some of the family in Idaho in 1999 and he was told that Agatha was the prettiest woman in the valley. Gordon was also told the above story about the fight, by the family. Agatha lived with her family in Naf Idaho which is near a mine that her father and two uncles worked in. This was up in the mountains. Her sister Stella married Milas Robison and they came up in the middle of the night and took Agatha secretly out of the mountains when she was about 13 years old. They had stashed her trunk the day before so they could take it during the night. They took her to Twin Falls Idaho to Mrs. Stanley who raised her and sent her to school and cooking school. Mrs. Stanley was a relative of Milas Robison and Agatha always loved her. Stanley had been talked to ahead of time and had agreed to take Agatha. Agatha graduated from high school and then went to cooking school just for home cooking, not to become a cook. She was an excellent cook. Agatha's parents felt that they should receive a great big payment for someone marrying their daughters and Agatha was worried that her parents would offer her as a wife to the man with the best deal and she didn't want to marry some old man who made such a promise. They had tried to do that to Stella and Stella knew that Agatha was getting old enough for such a plan, so they helped Agatha to leave. Helen lived mostly in Richfield, Idaho (notes typed by Darcy Kennedy during visit from Aunt Della MacArthur Oct 2001
