Three sisters from the Apostolic United Brethren walked along tables displaying the Jessop family tree — it looks more like a game of Tetris — and some black-and-white photos of their ancestors.
And the reunion’s organizer, Terry Jessop, whose family stuck with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints all those years ago, greeted everybody with a handshake and a big smile.
The Jessop reunion at a city park here Saturday was an only-in-Utah event five or six decades in the making. Terry Jessop says it’s the first time the whole family has gotten together since the middle of the 20th century, when some Jessops decided to be polygamists or practice so-called Mormon fundamentalism and leave Cache County.
