This is a brick from the Redd Home in New Harmony, Utah. About five or six years ago I met a man named Gordon Pace while I was driving around New Harmony looking for the old Redd home and the Pioneer cemetery that was near it.  I saw Mr. Pace outside working in his yard and I stopped to ask if he knew where the old Redd home was.  He said "I sure do, I own it!"  The Redd farm was part of his land which he had inherited from his father.  He told me how to find the homesite and the old cemetery.  There was nothing left of the home and only two or three gravestones in the cemetary, none of them Redd's. About a year later he came to see me at my medical office in Cedar City and told me that he had been plowing the field where the Redd home and been and he dug up some bricks from the original house.  He asked if I wanted some. My wife, Diane, and I went and found several bricks and partial bricks which we saved.  I mounted them as you see in this photo and gave them to my family.  The plaque says "This brick is from the Lemuel H. Redd home in New Harmony, Utah.  The home was purchased from John D. Lee on September 17, 1870.  It was the Redd Home until 1905 when they left for Canada."                  Randal Gibb
