Elder Uchtdorf's Family has had long presence in Northern Utah


           The graves for Elder Uchtdorf's parents are in the Kaysville Cemetery.

KAYSVILLE AND THE UCHTDORF FAMILY -- Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf has been a General Authority in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints since 1994. He’s now an Apostle. Elder Uchtdorf’s parent’s graves are actually located in the Kaysville, Utah City Cemetery.
If a source at Kaysville City is correct, the Uchtdorf family has had a long presence in Utah. His Mother may have lived with a married daughter and son-in-law in Kaysville for many years. So, she was buried there and her husband’s casket must have also been later transported from Germany and reburied next to her. (Elder Uchtdorf currently lives in Bountiful.)
The gravestone looks almost brand new, so it must have replaced an earlier monument.

-If you are ever in the Kaysville Cemetery and want to find the grave – enter the main gate; turn right (east); turn left on the second-to-the-last road going north. The grave is clearly visible on the right-hand (east) side of the road just over halfway to the north end of the cemetery.

                                         The monument faces west.
