Notater:

Lorenzo Hill Hatch was born at Lincoln, Addison County, Vermont, 4 January 1826. He assisted his parents on the farm. At the age of fourteen, he accepted the Gospel as taught by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- day Saints, and was baptized with his mother in February 1840 by Elder Sisson A. Chase. It was so cold on his baptism day that a saw had to be used to open a hole in the ice large enough to perform the ordinances. He emigrated with his father, Hezekiah, to Nauvoo, Illinois in 1843. In 1844, he went on a mission to his native state. He was there when he heard of the assassination of the Prophet Joseph Smith, and he returned home at once. With his brother, Jeremiah, he made arrangements to gather with the Latter-day Saints in Utah, since they were being forced to leave Nauvoo due to persecutions. He went with the early company of emigrants and became well accustomed to building bridges, making roads, and doing other pioneer work.
He married Hannah Fuller on 3 February 1846. He met Hannah at her father's home in New York in 1844 while on his first mission. The privations incident to pioneer life were more than she was able to bear. She died on August 1847, in Nebraska. Lorenzo was very ill at the time of her death and hardly knew when she died.
Early in the Spring of 1850, Lorenzo and his brother Abram left for the Rocky Mountains. They became part of a company consisting of fifty wagons, with David Evans as the appointed captain. They entered Great Salt Lake Valley by the way of Parley's Canyons 15 September 1850.
As a widower he married Sylvia Eastman on 27 February 1851. Their first home was in Lehi, Utah, where they were among the first settlers. Mr. Hatch's past experiences as a pioneer were valuable in building up this new town. He helped build the first grist mill near there in American Fork Canyon.
He entered plural marriage 11 November 1854, by taking Catherine Karren as a wife. Catherine was a beautiful woman, small in stature. She was five foot two inches tall and approximately 120 pounds. As was typical in her days she had very little formal schooling. This was limited to a brief period of night school in Lehi where she studied writing and also learned dancing. She was very literate and enjoyed extensive reading throughout her life.
Two years after he married Catherine, Lorenzo was called on a mission to England. He made some provisions for his two families, but Sylvia and Catherine had to maximize their pioneer thrift in order to provide for the growing family during their husband's absence.
Lorenzo was called on a mission to Europe in 1856 with about forty other Elders. He returned in 1858. During his absence his wives, who had been well supplied with food when he left them, suffered from the lack of necessities of life because they shared with less fortunate neighbors.
Upon Lorenzo’s return, he was elected Mayor of Lehi, and he served three terms in the Utah Legislature. On 2 January 1860, Lorenzo married Alice, the daughter of Thomas and Caroline (Barker) Hanson.
Catherine and Lorenzo were blessed with eleven children. One died as a child, but the other ten lived to adulthood and reared large families and they all remained faithful in the Church. Four of their children were born in Lehi, Utah; six in Franklin, Idaho; and the eleventh was born in Woodruff, Arizona. The building of the west and the development of the church made great demands on her husband, and Catherine was separated from Lorenzo about two-thirds of their married life because of his duties as a missionary (at least five missions), Bishop, Mayors Legislator, Counselor in two Stake presidencies and Patriarch.
In 1863, Lorenzo was called by the Church Authorities to Franklin, Idaho to preside as a bishop. Up to this time his three wives had lived in one home in harmony, but were now forced to separate. Alice with two small children accompanied him to Franklin. He later moved Catherine there and still later Sylvia went. He served there in the capacity of Bishop for 13 years and was the first Mayor of Franklin. He traveled extensively as a home missionary. In 1876, he was asked to visit the Saints in Arizona in company with Daniel H. Wells and others.
The Hatch family of Franklin had frequent contacts with Indians. These were generally peaceful but on one occasion there was a serious crisis. A drunken Indian accosted a young lady on the street of Franklin, and a man killed the Indian. The threat of an Indian uprising resulted. Lorenzo, who was serving as mayor was able to negotiate a peaceful settlement.
Lorenzo traveled extensively as a missionary and helped to found and organize settlements on both sides of the Mogollon Mountains. They settle in Woodruff, Arizona. He was Stake patriarch and 1st Counselor in the Stake presidency until January 1901 when he was honorably released. Then he and Catherine returned to Logan, Utah, where Sylvia was then living. Here they spent the last years of their lives in Temple work and other church activities. Catherine died 24 February 1910 and less than two months later, Lorenzo passed on. They were buried in Logan.
