Apostles Erastus Snow and Wilford Woodmff were present at a conference held on March 23 and 24, 1878. At that time the Parowan Stake contained five wards-Parowan, two wards; Paragonah, one ward; Summit, one ward; and Cedar City, one ward. Kanarra had been added to the Washington Stake. The total population of these wards was about 1940 SO&, of which about 500 were children under the age of eight years. Wiiiiam H. Dame was sustained as President of the Stake with Jesse N. Smith and Henry Lunt as his Counselors. Apostle Erastus Snow stated that this organization was to "stop contention" and was subject to any change which they might see fit to make in the future.'
