I, Orson Nephi Bangerter, was born in a two-room adobe house with a dirt roof. About seventy yds south of the house was a large hollow and a large barn was built on the north side. Then, about 150 feet north was a irrigating ditch, which at times had fish in it. When I was five years old, I made a net of burlap sack with a hoop, catching about five dozen fish on my fifth birthday. Feb 1890, I with my parents, moved to Bountiful, also joined the different auxiliary organizations. I was baptized in the old Mill pond Mar 28, 1893 [by Heber Holbrook] and was confirmed the same day. In 1899 and 1900 I attended the LDS College in Salt Lake City, Utah. In 1903 I was ordained an Elder by Hyrum Sessions and joined the 2^nd Quorum of Elders in the Davis Stake in 1904. I worked in the Temple for the dead.

In Feb 1904 I received a call to go on a mission to Switzerland, leaving Feb 24, 1904 for Europe, where I was successful in learning the language of my mother tongue. After twenty eight months, I again returned home July 16, 1906. July 17, 1905, I went outsight [sic], seeing in different parts of Switzerland and Italy.
