FAMILY HISTORY DRAMA : Unbelievable True Stories

From the life and times of Heber Jesse Meeks.

Whether its devotion to spouse, love of family, or commitment to country, God, and small town traditions, Heber Jesse Meeks lived it to the fullest.

Ep 4 Orville Sutherland Cox: Chief Walkara 🪶 the Blizzard❄️ and Nikki🐍

Send us a text

The Journey from Nebraska to the Territory of Deseret was an adventurously long one. And in the early days of settling the Wild West, there was never a destination. The only place you could permanently call home was your final resting place. From Conestogas to Cavalry, from rivers to mountains, from Chiefs to Governors, from freezing winters to striking summers, from Sasquatch attacks to buried Mummies, from hidden treasure to Egyptian hieroglyphs, and from settling the Sanpete area to sipping sop with snakes. You wont want to miss this tale. Too true to be believed.

Life without structure leads to trouble. How many times will we be told to “choose our friends wisely”? Bub Meeks lived hard and fast, and paid the price for it. Life in the late 1800’s was tempting for folks who didnt have the patience for working and saving. So they took balloon withdrawals anytime they were low on cash.

For example...The bottom part of the lot we lived on would sometimes be planted in alfalfa or sometimes beets, but in the fall we would turn the cows in to graze. The neighbor that lived right across the street from us on the south got so after nightfall he would turn his milk cows into
