CEDAR CITY — One hundred thirty-seven years after his death, Mormon pioneer Isaac C. Haight is finally coming home.
Family researcher Lane Peterson, one of Haight's descendants, is spearheading an effort to have his great-great-great grandfather's body exhumed from Thatcher, Arizona, and transported to Cedar City Cemetery to be reinterred alongside the grave of his first wife, Eliza Ann Snyder Haight.
Immediately to the other side of Eliza Ann Snyder Haight's grave marker are the burial locations of two other of Haight's wives, Annabella Sinclair MacFarlane Haight and Elizabeth Summers Haight. A number of other Haight descendants are also buried nearby.
A public ceremony dedicated to Isaac Haight's memory, including historical messages, is scheduled to take place at Cedar City's Old Rock Church building, 75 E. Center Street, on Sept. 16 at 1:30 p.m., followed by the burial at Cedar City Cemetery at 3:30, Peterson said.
