Does anyone know who has the following original documents (or even a good photocopy) that we could scan and share with everyone in the family?
Isaac Brough Law - Death Certificate (12 Jun 1910, Bear Lake County, Idaho)
Susan Juchau Price Law - Death Certificate (18 Jun 1939, Bear Lake County, Idaho)
Isaac & Susan's marriage certificate (17 Sep 1885, Cache County, Utah)
These basic documents would make great additions to this research blog or to our MyFamily.com Law and Price family websites.

Isaac Brough Law in the 1870 Census
Isaac is found with his siblings, mother, and step-father, John Humphries in Paris, Rich county, Utah in the 1870 census. At the time this census was taken, it was believed that Paris (and all the other LDS Bear Lake settlements) was in Utah. Shortly thereafter it was determined by surveyors that these were actually in Idaho.

Bocock Sisters Wanted!
Here is an interesting item from the Salt Lake Tribune (6 Jul 1887). The Bocock sisters apparently inherited something (presumably a small amount of money) and the Solicitors in England took out this article in the Salt Lake Tribune in an attempt to locate them 20 years after they had immigrated to the United States.
Does anyone know the outcome of this? What was inherited and from whom did they inherit it?
