  • Notes 
    • Paul Cardon from Utah Since Statehood Volume IV
      Paul Cardon, one of the pioneers of Cache county and a most highly res pected citizen, was born December 28, 1839, at Prarustin, Italy, a so n of Phillip and Marie (Tourn) Cardon. A contemporary historian has sa id: "The Cardon's found a place of refuge in the Italian Alps during t he awful days of persecution that cost the lives of tens of thousand s of noble souls who maintained that every person had the right to wor ship God as he chose. Many of the Cardons were numbered among the mart yrs. They were of the Waldenses and the second family in Italy to acce pt the restored gospel of Jesus Christ as taught by the Latter-day Sai nts, under the direction of the late President Lorenzo Snow. This nota ble event in their lives took place in the year 1852." In February 185 4, Phillip Cardon with his family of four sons and two daughters lef t his native land to join the Latter-day Saints who had colonized in U tah. They had already endured persecution for their belief and they di d not dread facing the hardships that must await them after reaching t he west. They arrived at their destination October 29, 1854, with th e Robert Campbell company, settling in Weber county, where they remain ed until 1858, when the move southward was made. Paul Cardon was stati oned as a guard to set fire to the homes and grain if it was necessar y to do so. He was also one of the guards in Echo canyon and endured t he hardships incident to the development of that section. The previou s year he married Susannah Goudin, who crossed the plains with a han d cart company, arriving iUtah,September 26, 1856. They became parent s of six sons and five daughters, of whom two sons and a daughter hav e passed away. In December, 1869, he married Magdalene Beus, who had c ome to Utah as a child with the Ellsworth handcart company, and to thi s marriage were born nine children, six of whom survive the father . A fter the return from the south the Cardon family settled at Marriot t , Weber county, and in 1859 Paul Cardon, with his father and brothe r Phillip, came to Logan, which was then a tiny hamlet containing onl y a few families. They became active factors in the development of th e new settlement and its protection against the Indians. Paul Cardon a ided in building the first log house in Logan and he afterward partici pated in the defense of the settlers against several Indian attacks, m any times risking his own life in defending others. He became prominen tly identified with the religious, military, social and civil organiza tions of Logan and the Cache valley in the early days. In a military c apacity he became first lieutenant of cavalry, receiving his commissio n from the president of the United States. As a local civil officer h e served as the first treasurer of Logan and for many years as marshal . He had charge of the Temple Mill in Logan canyon, which furnished th e lumber for the Logan Temple, and he assisted in surveying and buildi ng the Logan Canyon road. His activities in behalf of material advance ment and moral progress in his community were most pronounced and valu able. One said of him: "It is impossible for the present generation t o fully appreciate what you and your good wife have done for the deve lopment of Cache valley." Paul Cardon remained a resident of Logan unt il 1892, when he removed to Benson ward, securing a large farm. He the re became one of the(Image notshown) Caption: Paul Cardon and Family b ishopric of the ward, and he and his wives were greatly loved and hono red there because of their many good deeds and their sacrifice for th e benefit of others. Desiring to spend their last days among their chi ldren, they returned to Logan during the year 1912, taking up their a bode in the seventh ecclesiastical ward. Paul Cardon was the father o f twenty children, fourteen of whom survived at the time of his death , was the grandfather of seventy-three and the great-grandfather of se venteen. One of the local papers said of him: "In the passing of Pau l Cardon, another of the old faithful pioneers goes to his well earne d rest and leaves in his large posterity and multitude of friends th e richest legacy that can come to any mortal. He is the last member o f the second generation of Cardons to pass to the great beyond. Of hi m it can be truthfully said: 'He was one of God's noblemen, an hones t man--devoted to good works.
