Great Register of 1879 (Apache County at Springerville)
(Copied from the “Criminal and Civil Docket of E.C. Bunch J.P.)

Becker Family Papers - Arizona Historical Society

This register was compiled (hand written) in late April through early May (the 12th), 1879 to be used for the first election in the County, June 2, 1879.

(This document is extremely important in that it shows the names of the first Mormon settlers in the valley in early 1879.  The majority of the Mormons arrived in 1880.   See the Federal Census of 1880.)
