Ward E. Pack, oldest son of John Pack and Julia Ives Pack, born at Watertown, New York, April 17 1834, died at Vernal, Utah, November 16, 1907.
His parents joined the Church and moved to Far West when he was a child; they were victims of the mobbing at Far West and moved to Nauvoo, Ill., with the saints. When the pioneers were chosen, his father was one of those selected. He came west, leaving his family and Ward, who was then 14 years old, at Winter Quarters. The family came to Salt Lake in the following year and settled in the Seventeenth Ward. In 1850 Ward Pack was called on a mission to the Sandwich Islands with President Smith and others who made up the second company of missionaries to reach those islands. Mr. Pack remained in the islands until the missionaries were recalled by President Young in 1857.
In 1869 he performed a year's mission with his father and mother, their work being among friends and relations. Upon returning the family took its residence up at Kamas in Summit county where the family home has been since located. When the Summit stake was organized, Mr. Pack was chosen second counselor to President W. W. Cluff, a position he held until the reorganization of the stake when he was ordained a patriarch. He subsequently filled two more missions to the Sandwich Islands, presiding over the missions both times in 1876 and 1890.
Not only to his church, but to the territory was Ward Pack a faithful servant. He acted in the capacities of selectman, probate judge, member of the territorial legislature and sat in two territorial conventions which asked for statehood. Of his mother's family, five brothers and two sisters survived him. He was the father of twenty-one children, fourteen of whom are still living. Forty grandchildren survived him also.
