      Harvey M. Rawlins, Jr., deceased, was a public-spirited citizen of Utah whose loyalt y to the general welfare was manifest in active cooperation in many plans and measures for the public good. For a long period he made his home at Lewiston but was born at Big Cottonwood , Utah, December 13, 1851, his parents being Harvey M. and Margaret (Frost) Rawlins. The father was born in Greene county, Illinois, February 14, 1825, and was a son of James Rawlins, who served in the War of 1812 and who in turn was a son of Charles Rawlins, one of the Revolutionary war heroes. The family came originally from North Carolina and Harvey M. Rawlins was numbered among the pioneer settlers of Utah. The mother, Margaret (Frost) Rawlins, was born in Fremont county, Iowa, April 28, 1830. Harvey M. Rawlins, Jr., was reared under the parental roof and in early life engaged in freighting. In 1870 he and his father took up land in Lewiston, where they made their home and he was identified with various lines of business. He became active in the promotion and building of the Cub River canal, which has been the main feature leading to the development of Lewiston, this canal irrigating a large area. Mr. Rawlins was also accredited with donating a considerable tract of land to this work for building purposes. On the 28th of December, 1877, Mr. Rawlins was married to Miss Rebecca Lewis, a daughter of William Hendricks and Martha N. (Petty) Lewis, who were married at Fort Harriman, Utah, in 1856. Her father was born in Macoupin county, Illinois, October 14, 1837, and came to Utah in 1851. The mother was born in Tennessee in November, 1837, and arrived in Utah in 1850 . She was a daughter of Robert C. Petty and Margaret (Wells) Petty, the former born in Dickson county, Tennessee, November 21, 1812, while the latter was born at Edgecomb, North Carolina , March 2, 1806. On coming to Utah they settled near Salt Lake City and Mr. Petty was called to fill a mission to the Indian Territory, where he passed away, his grave being made on th e banks of the Arkansas river. He had been sheriff in his home county in Tennessee and was called upon to arrest David Patten and Warren Parrish, who were preaching the Mormon doctrine . When he took them in charge, instead of locking them up, he took them to his home and so earnestly did they present their plea that he was converted to the Mormon faith. William H. Lew is, the father of Mrs. Harvey M. Rawlins, was the first bishop of Lewiston and was president of the Benson stake at the time of his death. He was prominently identified with public enterprises and with the work of the church and was among the first to locate in the Cache valle y in 1859, settling at Richmond.

      To Mr. and Mrs. Rawlins were born six children: William Harvey, who was born October 1 3, 1878; Linna Dean, who has passed away; Clement Lewis, born August 12, 1885; Verda Fern, Ma y 20, 1889; Lorenzo Kimball, born September 4, 1896; and Elmina, born July 12, 1898. The deat h of Mr. Rawlins occurred January 17, 1916. His activity in canal building, in business circl es and along other lines had made him a valued and highly respected citizen of the community in which he resided and his sterling worth was recognized by all who knew him.
