description: At first, this area was under the supervision of Sanpete Stake, or at least its resident apostle Orson Hyde. Some later sources say that William Morrison, who Brigham Young had charged with directing the resettling of the area after the Black Hawk War, claimed the title of Stake President for a short time in 1870-1871, but this was not authorized. Joseph A. Young was originally called in 1872 to preside over the country between Gunnison and Kanab, sometimes called the "Sevier District," but was not officially called the stake president until 1874. When the stake was first organized in 1874, only one counselor and 8 high councilmen were called, and wards were not reorganized. When Young died in 1875, his counselor A.K. Thurber and Richfield Bishop William Seegmiller acted in his stead until 1877, so the stake was only partially organized for a time (and seldom if ever called a "stake" during this time.
