History written by Pearl Snow«/b»
Andrew Jackson Blackett was born in Springville, Utah September 19, 1864. He was baptized a member of the church at 8 years. He moved from Springville with his parents to Monroe and from there to Nephi where he has lived since. He started school at age 10 under the direction of Jerusha Boswell for one year, then to Mrs. Schofield, Gus Henroid, Charlie Morris, and Lizzie Schofield, finishing the fifth grade. It was hard in those days for parents to give their children an education. He was compelled to stop school and help his father on the farm and work at what he could find. He worked on the Oregon Short Line doing grading work. He worked at odd jobs until about 1886 when he worked for the United States Coast and Judilic Service as a surveyor for 13 summers. During this time, he was camped on top of Mt. Nebo 12000 feet above sea level. He carried supplies from the bottom to the top, staying from May till August. He then did survey work on the Beaver Mountain, Ogden Mountains and also helped survey what is known as Church Island, the Elks Mountain in Colorado 14400 feet and in Nevada.

He was married to Sarah Jane Worthington December 27, 1888 at Nephi, Utah. They had seven children, 4 girls, 3 boys. He has been engaged in farming ever since his marriage. He has been an honest man all his life and would never cheat , not even as a child. He was always willing to help in time of need. He has been a good husband and father and has always worked for the interest of his wife and children both in education and financial ways.
