Brigham Young decided to build a temple in St. George after work was stalled on the Salt Lake Temple. He wanted a temple to be completed before his death. Men from throughout Utah heeded the call from their leaders and spent months working on the temple. In kind tithing was sent to the area to feed the men and temporary housing was also built. The temple was dedicated in April 1877. Brigham young passed away the following August.
