“John Rowe Moyle”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

Moyle was born in Cornwall, England, to James and Elizabeth Rowe Moyle.^[1]^[2]^[5]^[6] In his youth he worked in the tin mines of Cornwall, and later became a stonemason, learning the trade from his father.^[1]^[7] He and his family converted to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) in 1851. Moyle travelled to Utah Territory with the first handcart company in 1856, settling in Alpine two years later.^[1]^[7]

Both a farmer and a stonemason, Moyle traveled to Salt Lake City frequently to serve on the temple construction.^[4] Moyle installed the Temple's circular staircase and carved the inscription "Holiness to the Lord" on the east side of the Temple.^[1]^[4] In 1863, Moyle built a chapel in Alpine. He also built an Indian fort to protect his family during the invasion of Salt Lake City by federal troops.^[8]

Moyle suffered a compound fracture of the leg when he was kicked by a cow, necessitating the leg's amputation by his family and friends. Moyle subsequently carved a wooden leg for himself and learned how to use it. After the accident, he would again walk to Salt Lake City and work on the temple.^[1]^[3]^[4]

Moyle was married to Phillippa Beer, who was born in Devonshire, England,^[1]^[9] and (polygamously) to Mary Ann Williams.^[1]^[4] Moyle's son, James Moyle, became foreman of the builders and stone-cutters on the Temple Block in 1875 and general superintendent of the temple in 1886.^[10] Moyle was the grandfather of James Henry Moyle, a prominent Utah politician, and the great-grandfather of Henry D. Moyle, an apostle of the LDS Church.^[7]^[11]
