MORMONS SHOULDN'T DRINK, SO WHY CALL A GRAVEYARD "VINE BLUFF"?

In Nephi, Utah, America, there are two cemeteries, one of which is called Vinebluff. If you ask locals, most have no idea why it is called that, and if they think about it, they need a drink, so this local yokel will make a partially educated guess. The Word of Wisdom was added to the doctrines of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints after it was legally founded by Joseph Smith in 1830, although various aspects of it were established about a decade before. Some folks say the wife of Joseph-Emma(via "No Man Knows My History by Fawn Brodie") wanted a change in the Church Doctrine as she was the one who had to be the janitor to clean up the sputum where she was the janitor and sick and tired being the only one to clean up their tobacy chewin and spittin. Others say that when Joseph came back in to the room, he was  disgusted by all of the cigarette smoke he encountered (From the book "The Restored Church by Wm. Edwin Berrett). The Word of Wisdom became a revelation in 1833, which means no drinking coffee or tea for Mormons and no wine or cigarettes. For the brethren back then, that was a difficult challenge, especially when so many men used each of em including Porter Rockwell, the bodyguard of Joseph and Brigham. There are folks who maintain it was not a commandment, but a suggestion for good health, and non-Mormons say that all things should be in moderation. So, it may be up to the reader for the correct interpretation, but according to D&C Section 89, that may cover even hot chocolate and Apostle Le Grand Richards maintained it included any drink with caffeine, and thus BYU got rid of its Coca-Cola(but now returned). At any rate when Brigham Young lead the Mormon pioneers West to the City of Salt, it is interesting he invited a lot of beer and wine makers to Utah. I recall talking to Sexton Rex Carter of the Vinebluff cemetery in the 1960's, telling me that locals had a vineyard there, with waster coming down from Monument Springs above Reese's Flat, which remains owed by Nephi City. That shut down when they found the hard water ruined the headstones, and about the same time is when wine and beer was interpreted to be against the Word of Wisdom, so they called it "Vine Bluff". According to a real "local" guy and to the Utah Historical Society, some of the best beer makers came from Germany and they also had a variety of money making Business' throughout Europe. We have photos from the Utah State Historical Society to back some of that up below. Even non drinkin Alexander Schreiner became famous as the Tabernacle Organist. Other non drinking Mormons came to Utah from Germany including the Auerbach brothers; miner-Arie Pinedo, who founded Mercur. John Beck not only made Beer, but Beck's Hot Springs; Saratoga Springs in Lehi. German-born Simon Bamberger was the future Governor of State of Utah and served from 1917-1921, and gee whiz, even a Jew and Democrat. Utah's Capitol was designed by German Richard Kletting. Good cheese was developed by Ed Gossner of Switzerland. I wonder which wine goes good with his cheese! German Karl Maser was considered the founder of BYU. Second photo is Vinebuff cemetery. Don't look for wine as it is just a bluff.
