Biographical Sketch
Isaac Chauncey Haight (1813-1886) was an early convert to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). He traveled with the Mormons as a pioneer as they traveled to Utah. Brigham Young sent Haight on a three-year mission to England, where part of his duties included studying iron making. Upon his return Haight was made president of the "Iron Mission" in Cedar City. He served as the town's mayor and as an important church leader. His alleged involvement in the Mountain Meadows Massacre and his practice of polygamy forced him to flee from Federal officers and become an exile late in life. While a fugitive Haight assumed the name Horton (his mother's maiden surname) and freighted material for the construction of the St. George temple.
