The following appeared in the Genesee County, Michigan newspaper marriage
notices, 1850-1867:

Flora McRae - a descendant of Samuel and Roxalana Newton CarpenterMount Helix Park Foundation
http://www.mthelixpark.org/
The Mt. Helix Park and Nature Theatre was built in 1925 as a memorial to Mary Carpenter Yawkey. In 1929 the Park was placed in the private Yawkey Trust (“Trust”) and dedicated for public use and enjoyment. The Trust states that the property should be used “to promote knowledge and culture, to relieve the distressed in body, mind and/or spirit, to cultivate a love for the beautiful in art and nature, to foster an interest in and love of music and the drama, and to promote all things which tend to elevate and refine mankind.”
Mt. Helix Park Foundation is the non-profit organization responsible for preserving and enhancing the Park, amphitheater and cross memorial on top of Mt. Helix. The Foundation was formed in 1999. This was after a ACLU lawsuit that tried to remove the cross from the top of Mount Helix. Provisions in the private trust provided by the Yawkey family to the County of San Diego was invoked and a non-profit organization was set up. A cross has been a top of Mount Helix since at least 1917.http://www.mthelixpark.org/page/1mau3/About_Us.html
History
Mt. Helix Park, the "Crown Jewel of East County," is truly a unique and historic site. Built as a memorial to Mary Carpenter Yawkey, Mt. Helix Park with its huge outdoor Amphitheatre nestled into the hillside below the magnificent 35-foot-tall Christian Cross crowning this 1,370 foot mountain peak, is one of the most recognized landmarks in San Diego County.
Inspiration for the Park
Mt. Helix Park was built in memory of Mary Carpenter Yawkey by her two children, Mary Yawkey White and Cyrus Carpenter Yawkey. Following her marriage to Fred White, Mary and her husband eventually moved to San Diego.
In the early 1900's Mary Carpenter Yawkey, who lived in Saginaw, Michigan, started visiting her daughter in San Diego and then lived with her during the last few years of her life. At that time Mt. Helix was barren, void of trees, and completely undeveloped, but according to Cyrus, his mother "loved to ascend to the summit and look upon the beautiful panorama of mesa, hills and sea spread out before her. It was her favorite drive, and frequently, in her later years, with a reverent and true love of nature, she came up the steep, winding trail where she might see the sunset in all its glory from the high summit."http://www.altlaw.org/v1/cases/456666
The Mount Helix Cross
In the mid-1920's, Cyrus Carpenter Yawkey and Mary Yawkey White placed a 36-foot Latin cross on the summit of Mount Helix on privately owned land. The cross was erected as a memorial to Mary Carpenter Yawkey. Mt. Helix is one of the highest hills in San Diego County, and the cross is visible from a substantial distance. The cross also serves pilots as a navigational aid.
In 1929, Yawkey conveyed about 3.2 acres, including the cross and an amphitheatre, to San Diego County for uses and purposes specified in the deed. This county park is known as the Mt. Helix Nature Theatre. The conveyance obligates the County to maintain the cross, allows no other monuments to be erected in the park, and requires that "annually, on each and every Easter Sunday forever, religious services of a strictly non-sectarian character and appropriately suitable for commemorating the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, as taught by the Christian churches of the world, shall be held at Sunrise" at the park. Although an Easter sunrise service has been held in the park every year since, the County stresses that it never enforced this provision against an applicant desiring to use the park for an alternative purpose on Easter morning.
The deed also established a trust fund, with the County as trustee, to maintain the cross and to contribute towards the Easter celebration. County employees administer the trust fund. Public funds contribute to the maintenance of the Nature Theatre as a whole.
The deed further requires that "[t]he Cross on the summit of Mount Helix shall be lighted" on several specific nights each year, including Christmas Eve and the evening before Easter. The County illuminates the cross every night of the year; the trust fund currently pays for the lighting, but county funds had been used for this purpose in the past.
Subsequent to the filing of this case, the County Board of Supervisors designated the Mt. Helix Nature Theatre and the cross within it as a historical landmark.MORE: Info on park and construction

Mary White was responsible for constructing Mount Helix Park (south of Interstate 8, between Bancroft Drive and Avocado Boulevard, 619-588-4901; mthelixpark. org) in the 1920s. At the top of the 1,370 foot-high summit, there’s a Christian cross and a memorial to her mother, Mary Carpenter Yawkey. When the sun rises, it starts with a tiny beam on the horizon before illuminating the whole city, a magnificent sight to see.
