Charles F. Zitting
Charles F. Zitting — also recorded as Charles Frederick or Charles Fredrick Zitting — was born in Harrisville, Utah, in 1894 and died in 1954. He is named as the Salt Lake notary on the 1942 United Effort Plan declaration, and dated sermons of John Y. Barlow are located at the Charles F. Zitting Home.
The compiled volume Sermons of John Y. Barlow locates a number of dated Salt Lake talks at the Charles F. Zitting Home. One heading gives the address as 4118 S. 500 E. The unique talks published from the compilation that use that location are listed below. Additional compilation reports at the same house fall on dates already in the Salt Lake minute books and are not posted a second time.1
On the already published Declaration of Trust of the United Effort Plan, dated 9 November 1942, Charles F. Zitting, a notary public in Salt Lake City, acknowledged the signatures of the first trustees. He is not named as one of those trustees. The first trustees named in the instrument are John Y. Barlow, president; LeRoy S. Johnson, vice-president; Joseph W. Musser, secretary and treasurer; J. Marion Hammon; and Rulon T. Jeffs.2
Published compiled accounts give his name as Charles Frederick Zitting, born 30 March 1894 in Harrisville, Utah, and died 14 July 1954. Wikipedia gives the place of death as Fort Union, Utah, and names his parents as August Frederick Zitting and Susannah Van Etten. It also describes him as senior member of the Priesthood Council from 29 March 1954 until his death. Those dates and offices are from a compiled biography, not from a civil record seen for this page.3 A Find a Grave memorial spells the middle name Fredrick, gives the death as 14 July 1954 at Union, Salt Lake County, Utah, and the burial as 19 July 1954, and names the father August Frederick Zitting.4 A 2024 symposium biographical note names the father Carl August Zitting. This page records that variant.5
A Dialogue article on the 1940s Utah cases lists Charles F. Zitting among the men named in those cases.6 A later 1960 speaker on this site is labeled Edna Zitting. This page does not identify her as a particular member of that household.
