FROM: The family record of Beverly Brown

Lillian Elizabeth McIntosh
Lillian Elizabeth McIntosh was born 11 January 1863 in St John, Tooele County, Utah and died 21 May 1943 in Tremonton, Box Elder County, Utah at the age of 80. She is buried in Oakley Cemetery, Oakley, Cassia County, Idaho.

 She married Heber Kimball McBride on 9 October 1882 in Salt Lake City, Salt Lake County, Utah at the age of 19. Heber McBride was born 16 May 1857 in Grantsville, Tooele County, Utah and died 14 October 1919 in Burley, Cassia County, Idaho at the age of 62. He was the son of James McBride and Olive Mahitable Cheney.

 She is the daughter of William McIntosh and Maria Caldwell. William was born 16 September 1819 in Bridgeton, Barony Parish, Lanark, Scotland and died 4 May 1899 in Mt Pleasant, Sanpete County, Utah at the age of 80. He was the son of John McIntosh and Girsey Rankin. He married Maria Caldwell 7 September 1841 in Lanark, Ontario, Canada. He was 22 and she was 17. Maria Caldwell was born 17 February 1824 in Lanark, Upper Canada (now Ontario) and died 27 July 1897 in Mt Pleasant, Sanpete County, Utah at the age of 73.

  Lillian’s father kept a diary. It is not as complete as we would like but it gives some insight into how they lived. He mentions his children only briefly.

 The McIntoshes and Caldwell’s came to Canada from Scotland on the same boat and settled in Canada together. They then left Canada about the same time and settled in Utah together. It took William and Maria 10 years to travel the Mormon Trail to Utah. They had to stop periodically to earn and save money for the next part of each journey. They arrived in Salt Lake City, Utah on 9 September 1851.

They settled in St John, Tooele County, Utah where Lillian Elizabeth was born in 1863. She was the ninth of eleven children. William states in his diary that he had been sick and “I was hardly able to be out of my bed when Maria my wife was put to bed and on Sunday, January 11, 1863. She bore to me a daughter.” He doesn’t mention the child’s name but we know from other records that it was Lillian Elizabeth.

In 1865 William received a request from Brigham Young to go to southern Utah on a mission to help “locate the valleys.” He moved his family to Panaca, Washington County, Utah. When Nevada became a state the boundaries changed and William found he was living in Panaca, Lincoln County, Nevada. He and his family returned to St John, Utah in 1872. Lillian is now 9 years old. 

We are then left to imagine Lillian and Heber meeting and marrying 10 years later in 1882. Their first child Maria was born 1 August 1883 in Grantsville, Tooele County, Utah. Their other seven children were all born in Oakley, Cassia County, Idaho. 

William next mentions Lillian in his diary on 27 June 1893. “We had a letter from Lillian McBride. She is our daughter. She lives in Idaho. They are well.”

 Lillian’s mother died 27 July 1897. William was very upset. On 2 September 1897 he wrote “I left Mt Pleasant and went to City Creek Junction, Piute County to visit W.H. and Mary McIntosh. He is my son and Mary is his wife.” On 4 September he wrote “While I was there my daughter Mrs. McBride came from Idaho came to Mt Pleasant my home. She came to take me home with her. She sent a message after me and I came to Mt Pleasant and I went with her to Idaho and stayed six months. A distance of about three hundred miles from Mt Pleasant.”

 William mentions Lillian one more time. April 25, 1898 he wrote “ In April 1897 my daughter Lillian came for me. She lives in Idaho and I went with her to stay the winter. Before she came, I had gone to stay awhile with W.H. and Mary McIntosh but she sent for me and I went with her to Idaho. Her and me left Mt Pleasant April 8, 1897. I stayed all winter with her and Heber McBride.” William got confused with dates. He died 4 May 1899.

 Lillian and Heber’s children are:
 Maria born 1 Aug 1883 in Grantsville, Utah. Married Arthur Marion Sanford 29 Apr 1909. She died 17 Feb 1967.
James William born 1 Aug 1885 in Oakley, Cassia, Idaho. Married Julia Mariah Smith on 29 April 1909 in Salt Lake City, Utah. He married Clarinda Chloe Beecher on 11 July 1942. He died 1 Dec 1960 in Tremonton, Box Elder County, Utah
 Olive Marion born 10 April 1888 in Oakley, Cassia, Idaho. She died 9 May 1900 in Oakley, Cassia, Idaho.
 Ephraim Heber born 25 Aug 1890 in Oakley, Cassia, Idaho. He married Lydia Campbell on 10 Dec 1911 in Oakley, Cassia, Idaho. He married Estella May Bates 1 Apr 1945 in Richmond, California. He married Bessie Henrietta Hansen 6 July 1956 in Oakland, California.
 Lillian Alice born 15 Nov 1892 in Oakley, Cassia, Idaho. Married Moroni William Ward 12 Nov 1914 in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Edward Vaughn born 9 May 1895 in Oakley, Cassia, Idaho. He died 20 Mar 1905 in Oakley, Cassia, Idaho.
 Kathryn Jane born 9 May 1898 in Oakley, Cassia, Idaho. She married Leonard Campbell Livingston 7 June 1916 in Salt Lake City, Utah. She married James Squire 3 July 1941.
 Dorcas Leah born 25 Jan 1904 in Oakley, Cassia, Idaho. She married Karl Warren Collett 7 June 1927 in Salt Lake City, Utah.
 Heber died 14 October 1919. So Lillian was alone for 24 years before she died 21 May 1943. She died in Tremonton, Box Elder County, Utah. She may have been living with her son James William who also died in Tremonton. Lillian was buried with her husband in Oakley Cemetery, Oakley, Cassia County, Idaho.

7 CONTINUED FROM NOTES OF THOMAS DUSTON.

This made him one of the Propietors or Commoners, and he soon became prominent in their affairs. Oct. 24, 1709, he was chosen with John Whittier to get the lowest price for Mr. Rolfe's house and land in Haverhill, and, if possible, to secure it for the town "for the use of the ministry." They reported on December 5 and were authorized to make the purchase. On Jan. 5, 1710, the town raised one hundred and six pounds for the transaction. April 4, 1710, he was added to the committee appointed on March 7, to run lines and settle bounds between "particular men's land and the common land in this Town." Dec. 4, 1710, the Proprietors voted "to sell and set out" to Thomas Duston, for thirty pounds, "a parcel of land in the pine or hemlock swamp, so called, containing fifteen acres, more or less,' bounded by Simons land, the river, and the commons. "The said Duston is to find himself a way to said land." April 3, 1711, at a Commoners' (Proprietors') meeting, Thomas Duston and others requested that the "cow common be fenced in from the Pond Bridge & so by Ephraim Guile's and as far as the ruver runs by Ephraim Roberts sawmill, and so to Tho: Duston's", and permission was granted, among the gates provided being one at Thomas Duston's. He and Lieut. John Haseltine were also appointed to lay out land granted to James Ayer by the town and make return for entry in the Town Book. June 22, 1713, he was chosen on a committee to agree with some man or men "to build and finish the schoolhouses before September. By a special order, dated June 27, 1713, and signed by Col. Richard Saltonstall, Justice of the Peace for Essex County, the Proprietors were required to hold their meetings separate from the town meetings and to have a clerk to keep their records in a separate book. Since Thomas was very active in their affairs, the extracts from their records will follow the extracts from records of the town meetings. Sept. 21, 1714, payment of his claim of three shillings was allowed, and he was authorized "on the Town's cost" to secure "good white pine clapboards without sap" and "to clapboard the Parsonage house as soon as may be conveniently." Sept 18, 171, "Thomas Duston, Sen." was chosen on a committee to "esquire after" the town's old day book of grants and orders. Since the death of the Rev. Mr. Gardner on March 21, 1715, the pulpit had been supplied by various ministers, including Mr. Jonathan Cushing and Mr. Robert Stanton. A majority of the church members favored the former, while Mr. Stanton's adherents were definitely opposed to Mr. Cushing. Oct. 17, 1716, "Thomas Duston, Sen." was chosen on a committee to consider "what the town should offer Mr. Jonathan Cushing to serve as minister." They decided to offer "the same as the Rev. Mr. Gardner had" and "Thomas Duston, Sen." was on the committee to advise Mr. Cushing of the town's action and report to the town. The opposition stirred up such a commotion that a special town meeting was called on Nov. 28, 1716, to hear the committee's report, and "Thomas Duston, Sen." was placed on a committee to hear arguments against Mr. Cushing's selection. No more attempts were made to secure Mr. Cushing. As a result of the inability of the two groups to reach an agreement, on Dec. 29, 1716, "Thomas Duston, Senior" was chosen on a committee to wait on Rev. Mr. Leverett and Rev. Mr. Brattle at Cambridge, "to be advised what method next to take in order to settling a gospel minister among us." They advised the choice of Mr. Fiske, who had preached in the town several times, and on Jan. 1, 1717. Thomas Duston was chosen on a committee "to treat with Mr. Fiske if he come among us," etc. Many were opposed to Mr. Fiske, so Mr. Leverett and Mr. Brattle were again consulted. Their advice was heard on Jan. 22, 1717, and the same committee, including Thomas Duston, Sen., was appointed to invite ten ministers who had preached in the town "to keep a day of humiliation" with the town in selecting a minister, the town agreeing to accept their advice. this day was held on Feb. 6, 1717, and Rev. Mr. Parsons of Lebanon was chosen. March 5, 1717, Andrew Mitchell and Thomas Duston were chosen "to view the Town's books." they reported the next day at the adjournment that they had "attended said sevice, and find in the Books of Grants 189 leaves and said book of records hath 283 leaves in said book, and there is some leaves gone out of said book of records." May 28, 1717, it was voted 65 to 48 that Mr. Joseph Parsons of Lebanon be inited "to settle with us in this town in the work of the ministry." In spite of vigorous opposition to the stating of a salary for Mr. Parsons at this meeting, an offer of one hundred pounds a year was voted, and Thomas Duston, Deacon John White, and Deacon Haseltine were chosen a committee to acquaint Mr. parsons with the same. Thomas Duston was moderator. The dissatisfied minority immediately circultaed a petition calling for a special town metting on August 13, on which date all the acts of the May 28 meeting were revoked,. September 3, a committee was chosen to provide a minister "until the town take further care'" October 30, Ephraim Roverts, the moderator, proposed to those present "that they would signify their desires for peace and love towards one another and for the sending for a minister to preach with us, by their drawing out and moving to the east end of the meeting house. They all moved to the east end of the meeting house excepting three or four persons and thereby signigied their desire of peace." No other action was taken. Nov. 18, 1717, Joseph Peasly and Thomas Duston were chosen "to go and see the Widow Elizabeth Graly that is sick at Ephraim Roberds and make report to the town what condition she is in." November 26, the town voted to appropriate funds for her care. At this meeting it was also proposed that a new committee, made up of members from both parties, be chosen to provide the town with a minister. The new committee, but not Thomas Duston. This new committee reported in Fevruary, 1718, and Samuel Chickley was chosen "for a present supply." April 23 he was giben a call, but refused the offer on August 15. September 2, Mr. Brown of Cambridge was invited as minister for two months. October 28, he was given a call and accepted. This matter was at last settled. This meeting also approved several claims against the town, including one "To Thomas Duston for his clapboarding the Parsonage house, finding clapboards and nails to do it with in 1717, 8--01--06." March 4, 1719, Andrew Mitchell and Thomas Duston again reported upon the condition of the Town Books. As has been stated, the Proprietors, prior to 1713, did most of their business at the reqular town meetings and kept their records in the "Town Books." During this period, after he became a Proprietor, Thomas Duston was on the committee to lay out lots and "to run lines between the Town Common and particular men's lands." After 1713, he continured on the committee until 1723, and laid out a majority of the lots sold or divided by the Proprietors, the last lot laid out by him being that of Joseph Peasly on Feb. 12, 1723. After they began to meet separately, the Proprietors decided taht steps must be taken to protect the common land, for the non-Proprietors were continually trespassing theron. Therefore, on April 6, 1714, a committee of five, including Thomas Duston, was chosen to draw up a plan for preventing the "great strip of waste made on ye commons" and to prevent fencing in of any of the common lands or encroachments thereon. This committee reported in great detail on April 13; their recommendations were adopted and Col. Richard Saltonstall, homas Duston, and Ensign Richard Hazzon were empowered to enforce them and to prosecute trespassers. On Sept. 26, 1715, Thomas Duston was chosen moderator of the Proprietors' meeting, and was moderator of nearly every Proprietors' meeting after this date until jan. 15, 1722, his successor being Cornet James Pecker. He is mentioned in the records of every Proprietors' meeting between the above dates and occasionally thereafter until 1726. Previous to 1719, these references to Thomas Duston in the Proprietors' records are as a lot layer or moderator. By 1719, however, the non-commoners, who felt that they had rights in the common lands, were becoming rather incensed at what they considered the unfeeling attitude of the the Proprietors in refusing to agree to this. Consequently, at the June 25, 1719, town meeting it was voted to dismiss all committees chosen "before this day" in Haverhill. Thomas Duston was one of ten dissenters. At the May 24, 1720, town meeting, Thomas Duston and others dissented against "any vote being passed concerning any altering or disposing of the twelve rod way at the east end of Town." One June 10, 1720, the non-commoners took desperate measures. The Proprietors were refused the key of the meeting house for their meeting. They sent to the home of Samuel Smith, where it was usually kept, but were informed that "Ephraim Roberts had taken ye said key and carried it away." (He was moderator of the town meetings.) "Where-upon there was one or two messengers sent to ye Tavern to ye said Roberts to desire ye said key of him, that so ye said Proprietors might go on with their meeting at ye place appointed, which was ye usual place they use to meet in. Answer was returned that ye said Roberts refused to deliver ye said key, whereon after some considerable time waiting, it being late in ye day, ye Proprietors at ye said meeting-house door made choice of Thomas Duston for their Moderator. Who, on consideration of ye day being far spent ad that they were prevented of meeting in ye Meeting-house, did adjourn ye said meeting to Friday, ye 17th of June, instant at one of ye clock in ye afternoon at ye home of Conret James Pecker, innholder in Haverhill." On this date, Thomas Duston Richard Hazzon, and James Pecker wre chosen to prosecute trespassers on the common. March 14, 1721, the non-commoners presented at the Proprietors' meeting a claim to part of the Commons. it was voted to consider this and snsawer as soon as convenient. March 21, 1722, the Proprietors chose a committee to lay out tho cow common lands, "Mr. Samuel Danford of Billerica, ye Surveyor, Capt. Richard Kimball of Bradford and Elder Samuel Tenny of Bradford." On April 9, 1722, a committee of five, including Thomas Duston, was chosen to supervise the above committee, and on April 23, this five-man committee was authorized to lay out highways on the "Cow Comons." On June 8, 1723, the powers of Thomas Duston, Richard Hazzon, and James Pecker "in protecting the common lands against trespass", etc., and "in bringing suit in the courts", were strengthened and enlarged by the Proprietors. On Sept 2, 1723, the Proprietors chose a committee, on which was Thomas Duston, to treat with a committee of the town "about ye common lands." Evidently he was very ill during the next winter, for he made his will on April 15, 1724, and is only mentioned twice in the records of the Proprietors after that date, when on Jan. 5, 1725, Nathan Webster petitioned the Proprietors to renew the bounds to a peice of land, "the bounds not being recorded in the Town Book,.....as shall appear by ye evidence of substantial, honest men viz., Mr. Thomas Duston and Quarter-master Daniel Lad and others." and on Feb. 16, 1726, the committee appointed to renew these bounds reported that they had viewed the land, "ye bounds of which were showed us by Thomas Duston, who was anciently acquainted with ye same." Every other mention of Thomas Duston in either town or Proprietors' records is in connection with the purchase of or a grant of land. may 4, 1719, Thomas Duston petitioned the Proprietors for the purchase of "an acre or two fo common land, more or less, adjoining on the northeast side of his irchard, betwixt ye land that his son Timothy had of ye Commoners and ye Fishing River." The petition was granted at the rate of five pounds per acre, and the report of the lot laying out committee was returned July 26, 1719.May 29, 1721, Thomas Duston, Matthew Herriman, Jun., Richard and Abner Herriman proposed to buy a lot of land in the "Pine or Hemlock Swamp". One and three quarters acres less three rods at four pounds per acre was set off to Thomas Duston " if he pay 6.18.06 to Commoners' Clerk." Nov. 20, 1721, the lots in the fifth division were drawn.The Fourteenth lot, containing four hundred and fifty acres was laid out to the rights of Stephen Kent.Fourty acres went to Thomas Duston.
Dec. 18, 1721, Thomas Duston petitioned the Proprietors "to sell him about six or eight acres of land" lying on "ye north or northeast of ye road that leads from William Johnson's over to Bradley's farm by Jonathan Eastman's between ye Sawmill River and Joseph Emerson's land which said Emerson now lives on." The petition was granted and the committee laid out six acresto him on Jan.29, 1722
July 12, 1722 , the committee chosen for laying out the cow commons laid out various lots of land , many times refering to "the way from the meeting house to Thomas Duston's". On this date twelve acres in the cow commons were laid out to the right of Stephen Kent " at ye desire of Thomas Duston, who claims ye same".
Feb. 12, 1723, Thomas Duston and John Clements petitioned the Proprietors for the purchase of two adjoining parcels of land. May 13, the return of the committee appointed to lay out this land was accepted.Thomas Duston was sold two acres on the side of his land next to Joseph Emerson's land, three rods for a highway being left between Duston's and Emerson's land.
On Feb. 12 1723, also, the committee " formerly chosen to setttle bounds betwixt any man's property and ye common lands in Haverhill are dismissed, viz. Thomas Duston, Deacon John Haseltine, and Lieut. Richard Hazzon,Deacon John Marsh, and Deacon James Ayer.
May 3, 1729 the land laid out to Thomas Duston in 1723, at his request, was granted and confirmed to him, " the said Duston having already paid the Proprirtors' Treasury the full sum mentioned in said return therefor". This is the last mention of Thomas Duston in either town or Proprietor's records.
All of his real estate was deeded to his sons before his death .June 10, 1717, he deeded to Nathaniel Duston, "in consideration of yt love I bear my sons", twenty acres of upland and meadow land , "bring ye one-half of my living I formerly lived on on ye West side of ye Saw Mill River and ye Easterly Part thereof." (Essex Deeds 32/57)
Dec. 6, 1717, he sold to Thomas Duston, Jun., one half of the land purchased the year before in the "Pine or Hemlock Swamp." (Essex Deed, 34/165)
Nov 19, 1722, he deeded to Timothy Duston, "in consideration of that Parentall Love and affection which I have and do bear towards my son Timothy Dustin ...yeoman and that he may not be in doubt or suspicion of my after alteration of mind and giving away to another what he may hope for Expect deserve and depend upon out of my estate now belonging unto me and for his Encouragement in his Labour..... my Dwelling or Mansion house and Barn and Gristmill now standing on the Fishing River in such care as they shall be in at my death", also half his homestead or house lot,containing about twelve acres,part having been purchased from William Starlin and about two acres from the Proprietors, also a parcel of land in the Pine Swamp, reserving a life interest in the entire property.(Essex Deeds, 43/107)
The same day he also deeded to Timothy the six acres bought of the Proprietors on Jan. 29, 1722, reserving a life interest in the same.(Essex Deeds, 43/108)
March,20,1724, he deeded to his son Jonathan Duston, "in Consideration of that Parental Love and natural affection which I have and do bear towards my beloved Son", the fifteen acre lot " whereon the said Jonathan now dwells", also fourty acres of land , "being all my right in the Fifth Division" lying in the lot laid out to Stephen Kent's rights, reserving a life interest in the same. (Essex Deeds 51/206)
During the sickness in the winter of 1723-24 , Thomas wrote a letter on Jan. 19, 1724, expressing his desire to be admitted a member of the church and was received on March 1 of that year.
On April 15, 1724, as has been previously stated , Thomas Duston made his will. To Hannah he left " all my stock of cattle, of all sorts both neat cattle ,horses,sheep and swine, etc. and all my household goods and Provisions of all sorts.Being all my personal estate after mt depts and Funeral charges are paid, the said goods and chattels to be hers for her own use, benefit and comfortable Maintenance and if any of it be left and not expended by her in her lifetime -I will that she shall dispose of it to amongst my daughters as she shall think best." Having provided for his sons from his real estate by deeds of former date he left also to Thomas " my Great coat,Boots,carbine, 37 pounds in money I let him have to pay for the Harriman Lot", to Nathaniel "my Drogat wastcoat and breetches, Musquet, 1Draught Chain"; to Timothy "1 Timber Chain, 1Draught Chain and plow and my part of the cart and wheals." To each of his five daughters he left sixteen shillings. The residue of the estate was left to Hannah,who was made executrix.
That he was very ill at the time of making his will is shown by the fact that he made his mark while signing, for his signature to many other documents attests his ability to write.
Essex County, Ipswich, Nov. 27, 1732, "Richard Hazzen swore to the will of Thomas Duston, Lately deceased" (Essex County Probate, Vol. 319, pp. 348-349)
The inventory was made on Nov. 29, 1732, sworn to by Hannah on Dec.6, 1732, and accepted, Jan. 1, 1733, "the Executrix was not able to travel". It amounted to one hundred and sixty-seven pounds thirteen shillings.
Hannah's will was dated Sept. 19,1733, and left to her four living daughters each one fifth of her estate and the other one fifth to the children of her deceased daughter, Abigail. Her daughters ,Hannah Cheney and Elizabeth Emerson, were named executrices. Samuel, Joseph ,and Daniel Little were her witnesses.
The will was proved at Ipswich on March on March 10, 1736. (Vol.325, pp. 478-479, Essex County Probate) The inventory was filed on march 10,1738, the estate amounting to one hundred and seventy-three pounds five shillings.
The fame of Hannah's exploit has, through the centuries, more or less overshadowed the work done by her husband , who not only saved his children from the Indians and furnished them with a substantial competence, but brought them up to be good citizens and neighbors like himself. He was truly, as Nathan Webster decribed him in 1725, a "substantial, honest man". 		Family: F00025

10 Excerpts from
My Parents Daniel Newel and Mary Jane Cheney Drake
By Pearl Drake Haynes, Interview recorded by Ortell Drake Wilson, niece
September 28, 1982
Transcribed to Word file by Jaclyn Haynes Day, great-granddaughter
 
Note from Jaclyn Day: Pearl was born in 1894 to Daniel Newel Drake and Mary Jane Cheney Drake. Mary Jane Cheney was the daughter of Ezekiel Wells Cheney and Lucy Elzada Hardy, pioneers. This interview took place when Pearl was 88 and still very independent. She lived to be 99 ½ and I knew her well.
 
“…My Grandmother Cheney [Lucy Elzada Hardy Cheney] lived with us a lot. My mother is Mary Jane Cheney. That’s where you get the Marys. (This to Mary Kaye, Pearl’s daughter.)
My mother never lived polygamy, she said that is one thing she couldn’t do. Grandpa Cheney died young and my Grandma never remarried. She had her first child on the plains. The pioneers had hard times, I’ll tell you. When she had the baby she was laying on barrels of flour. The captain said they should put the flour in bags to make a softer bed, which they did. I was about fourteen or fifteen years old when she came to visit and she told me this. 
…One evening we got a telephone call from Idaho that my Grandma Cheney had passed away and so Mother and Aunt Olive got ready and left the next morning for Idaho. She said the weather was terribly cold, blizzardy, and they didn’t know just how they could take her. One of the grandsons said, “We can get the white top out and make a bed and lay her in that.”  They dressed her for burial. Mother said she wasn’t dressed properly when they got up there, so they got her all ready for burial. They took her to this graveyard they had and she said it was heart-breaking to see her Mother laid away in such a lonely place. They only stayed overnight and came back because it was such cold weather.
Now I’ll tell you a little bit about my Grandmother Cheney. The night that Grandma Cheney died, that day she got all her nice blouses out and ironed them all up. She used to have some beautiful blouses and she loved to iron them. Her granddaughter asked why she was ironing her blouses and she said, “I’m going to a wedding tonight. You’ll see.” My grandmother was a great dancer and she loved to dance. That evening she told her grandchildren or great-grandchildren, I guess, to all line up on the over-stuffed and she would dance for them because she was going to this wedding and she would dance before she left. So she did and she said, “Well, I’m getting kind of tired. Move over some of you, and let me sit down.” She sat down and passed away on the sofa. She was a great entertainer. At a ward old folks’ party, they had my grandmother and her oldest daughter dance for them. They gave a dance recital. She was honored for being the oldest at this party.
Mother said they traveled so much when she was young. I don’t know how many towns in Utah they lived in. Grandpa [Ezekiel Wells Cheney] didn’t get work; it was hard to get work and they were very poor. Mother said they used to take their lunch to school in little tin buckets. One day they didn’t have anything to take but bread and milk. She and her two sisters sat in a circle with the other children to eat. She opened the bucket and it looked so good! Thick cream on the top and it looked delicious. All at once the other kids got up and danced around and said, “Bread and milk for dinner, bread and milk for dinner…” She and her sisters got up and threw their bread and milk out and went without. The kids made fun of them. 
Mother was quite proud. Grandma used to buy bolts of material for their dresses and dressed them all alike. Mother didn’t want to look like the rest of them. She’d tell Grandma, “I don’t want a dress. I’ll go without mine.” She used to work out a little and help what she could on little jobs. She’d save enough money to buy material to make her a different kind of a dress. She loved to sew; she was a great seamstress. She made all of our clothes.
Grandpa Cheney made all their shoes. They could only have two pair a year. Mother and her sister had to herd sheep when they were small. She said their feet would get so sore they could hardly walk.

23 Thursday the 25th of December 1846, her husband was requested to go home and get his wife to assist in the female department at the Nauvoo temple. She, also, continued to labor there until the work was done. January 22nd at 7:00 P.M., Harrison and wife receivd the ordinance of Sealing by President Brigham Young. The next morning at ten o'clock, they received the Ordinance of the Second Annointment, by President Heber C. Kimball.

Harrison Burgess wrote: "After receiving our blessing in the Temple, myself and family made all preparation for our wilderness journey and crossed the Mississippi River on the last day of May 1846. We had a prosperous journey, over took the camp at Council Bluffs, crossed the Missouri River in July and in concert with the Spirit of the Camps, made preparations for Winter Quarters.
"My wife, Sophia, was sick most of the ensuing winter, but through the mercy of the good Lord, her life was spared - her disease was scurvy. Quite a number had died with it. At the organization of the camp, I was appointed a captain of fifty in Brother Kimball's division, but in consequence of sickness in my family, I could not obtain the necessary outfit to go on in the Spring Company. Accordingly, I spent the spring in putting a crop in. July 4th, I left home and went into the State of Missouri with my wife and father and two of my brothers and spent the summer in making shingles.

"We left Winter Quarters the 20th of May, 1848, had a good journey to the river and crossed over it in safety. The people who were going to perform the journey had been gathering there for some time and forming an encampent, awaiting the arrival of the balance who were to go along."

The 3rd of June, Harrison left his family to make their way to Utah Valley with his best preparations having been made for them while he served a mission to England and Scotland.
A daughter Mary was born after Harrison left to sister wife Amanda Hammond. All were reunited in the Salt Lake Valley January 1, 1851.

"Broken Balls

The Gun Club met Monday evening and had an interesting shoot. Owing to the fact that the balls were thrown from the trap in a different direction, and in such a way as to make the breaking of them more difficult, the score is not up to the usual average. The boys were probably a little nervous, too, it being the first competition for the prizes since the gold medal came. J. A. Steinmetz was compelled to surrender the medal to John Rife, and F.L. Crotzer willingly passed over the "leather joker" to Will White, who honestly earned it by soring a full nest of goose eggs. A resolution prevalled that the person scoring the best record three times in succession should own the gold medal. The "leather joker" should have received the same condemnation. We desire to say to the citizens of Lena - both ladies and gentlemen that the Club extends a co dial invitation to you to come and witness their exhibitions, Seats will be provided, and everything done to make it pleasant for you. They begin shooting at half-past four o'clock p.m. and when the evenings are pleasant it is a nice walk or drive out to the range.

This house at 1317 7th Street is significant for its association with Lewis C. and Laura Allison, longest term owners and residents of the house. Lewis was the grandson of Lewis Cheney, founder of the First National Bank in 1877. Allison worked at the bank for over 33 years.

The house at 1317 7th Street sits on the south 50 feet of Lots 1 and 2, block 1, Buena Vista Heights subdivision. In 1902, Buena Vista Heights was platted. In 1904, Albert Snyder purchased lots 1 and 2 and in 1905, sold them to James Adolph Warren, who probably built the houses at 1317 7th Street and 648 University. "Dolph" Warren, a contractor, builder and brick layer, worked on the Hotel Boulderado and built many private homes, including buildings at 1061 9th Street, where he resided from 1903-1904, and 648 University, where he resided from 1906-1908. Warren came to Boulder County at the age of eleven with his mother and step-father, John Kinsey. The family settled at Springdale in Left Hand Canyon, where Kinsey operated a general store. After completing high school at the State Preparatory School, Dolph married Bessie Boyington of Boulder and spent a number of years as a bricklayer and building contractor. In 1915, Warren was appointed secretary of the Colorado Industrial Commission, but left that job after the outbreak of World War I to serve overseas with the Young Men's Christian Association. After the war, he took a job with Kenney-Coastal Oil Company of Denver and became president of the firm in the late 1930's. Warren died in Boulder in 1958.

In 1918, Lewis C. and Laura Allison purchased the house at 1317 7th Street, becoming the first owners to reside there; the Allisons lived in the house for over fifty years.

This house is bungalow in style. It is a one and a half story dwelling that has a side gable roof with overhanging eaves, decorative beams and exposed rafters. The gable ends feature stucco and half-timberling. The walls are a combination of bricks and stucco. The house has two chimneys and a shed roofed enclosure at the rear.

Columbia Cemetery was reported as "a disgrace to Boulder" in the June 4, 1909 issue of the Daily Camera. The Park Cemetery Association was incorporated on May 20, 1910 in an attempt to improve the conditions at Columbia. The seven trustees that first year included William H. Allison, Maud Gardiner Odell, Frank B. Kohler, Jennie H. Baker, Anna F. Adams, Mary F. Pine and James P. Maxwell. In April of 1912, the Daily Camera reported that, " Columbia Cemetery is rapidly being transformed into a place of burial, which for beauty, will soon equal that of any in Colorado outside Denver. It is to be made modern as far as money can make it, and will be enclosed with a pretty hedge or iron fence to take the place of the present barbed wire contrivance. The work is being done under the able direction of W.W. Parce, the landscape architect who is also in charge of the improvements at the Chautauqua, at Green Mountain Cemetery and at the University of Colorado."

Boulder Bank President Killed in Auto Accident

Care Turns Turtle on Mountain Road, Thirty-five Miles Northwest of this City - Judge Garrigues and Dr. Queal Escape With Cuts and Bruises

Party Was En Route to North Park

--Death came at 6:35 this morning to W. H. Allison, president of the First National bank of Boulder, as a result of an automobile accident that occurred at noon Sunday, on the Virginia Dale road, about 35 miles northwest of this city. Judge Garrigues of Greeley, and Dr. E.B. Queal of Boulder, were in the car with him and both received bruises and cuts, which, however, did not prove serious. The three were in a party of five, bound for North park, the others being Judge Gamble and G. H. Bedard, a Boulder drug clerk, who were in Judge Gamble's automobile, behind the Allison car.
Mr. Allison was at the wheel. While going along a dangerous section of the road, about a mile and a quarter south of the Bush ranch, the wheels began the slide and Mr. Allison was unable to regain control of the skidding car. Before the occupants could get out, the car turned turtle. Judge Garrigues and Dr. Queal rolled clear of the car, but Mr. Allison was caught under it.
When his two companions got up they found a portion of Allison's body protruding from under the car. By the time Judge Gamble's car had arrived and together, the four men raised the overturned car sufficiently to bring forth Mr. Allison, who was apparently dead.
A Denver automobile party, on the way to Laramie, reached the scene soon after and its members assisted in conveying the unconscious man to the Bush ranch. The nearest telephone was at Logan's store and it was necessary to break into the house to call surgeons from Fort Collins, as there was no one at home. Drs. Kickland and Sadler were at the scene in their automobiles in about two hours and, after temporary attention was given Mr. Allison, he was brought to Forth Collins in Judge Gamble's car, reaching here about 7 o'clock last night.
Mrs. Allison, her son Lewis P. and a daughter came up from Boulder and when they saw the injured man, he had re-covered consciousness and was believed to have a chance for recovery. Later in the night, however, it became evident that he was sinking and Dr. Kickland remained with him for some hours.
His family remained at the Northern hotel during the night, as they had received assurances on retiring that the patient's condition was favorable. This morning, just as Mrs. Allison was starting for the hospital, she received word of her husband's death.
The body will be taken to Boulder for burial, after an official inquiry by Coroner Hollowell, in whose jurisdicition the accident occurred.
Judge Garrigues and Dr. Queal are both able to be about, though sore from the bruises they received. The opening of the term of court in Jackson county, which was taking the two district judges to North park, has been temporarily postponed, because of the sad ending of the journey. Mr. Allison, Dr. Queal and Mr. Bedard expected to open some days in fishing at North park. The party desired to reach the Boswell ranch on the Laramie river last night and proceed form there this morning for Walden.
Mr. Allison was 63 years of age and one of the leading citizens of Boulder, where he had resided many years. Mrs. Allison and her daughter returned to Boulder on the 8 o'clock train this morning, while Lewis P. Allison remained, to look after the body of his father.

Special to the Courier.

Boulder July 11. - The death of W.H. Allison, president of the First National bank, as a result of an automobile accident near Fort Collins, has cast a gloom over the entire community. Mr. Allison came here in 1878 with his father-in-law, Mr. Chaney, who established the bank. Mr. Allison was made cashier and he remained in that position until two years ago, at the death of Mr. Mackey, when he was elected to the presidency. He leaves a wife and three children. His son, Lewis, is assistant cashier of the bank.

34 Biography of Janetta Mae Alvord and Francis John Craig

By John Schultze,

Janetta Mae Alvord was born September 11, 1892 in Luverne, Kossuth, IA to Charles Julian Alvord and Olive Leona Hudson.  Nettie, as she was nicknamed, grew up on a farm in Burnside, Webster, IA. She excelled in a little one-room schoolroom and upon her graduation was asked to teach. She was shortly under the spell of young Frank Craig. He was from a mining family (and she a farming family), and each family considered themselves “above” the other. On June 26, 1912, however, they were married at Nettie’s home. They lived in a one-room house in Kalo when a daughter, Eva Leona Craig, was born on February 11, 1913 (you do the math). The baby died of crib death on the 25th of that month. On January 14, 1914 Laurence Alvord Craig was born. Frank had worked as a miner, but moved near Nettie’s parents in Burnside to try his hand at farming, working as a hand and leasing a small farm. Aileen Janetta was born there on February 8, 1916 and Charles Francis was born on March 18, 1919.
While Nettie was pregnant with their third child, they moved to Mankato, Blue Earth, MN, mortgaging a farm there. Olive Rosena Craig was born there on December 20, 1920. The mortgage holder turned out to be a crook, and they lost the farm within two years. They moved to Lundgren (near Burnside), where Lois Mae was born on April 23, 1922, and then back to Kalo. A daughter, Evelyn Jean Craig (still living) was born there.
When Nettie’s parents retired and decided to travel, the Craig family was invited to stay and tend the Burnside farm. Upon the Alvord’s return in 1933, they moved a few miles north to Ft. Dodge, where a new mining company had opened. Frank and son Larry began working the mines. Then, in November 1935 there was a split. Frank left the family for the gold mines of Alaska. He didn’t like the loneliness and made good money, so he wrote enticing letters and sent curious articles to Iowa, such as a green tinted rabbit pelt and a mosquito with a five-inch wingspan. Nettie gave in and in October 1936. They duplicated the trip in the movie “Grapes of Wrath” four years before the movie came out, similarly loading up the Plymouth, only driving over the primitive roads of the Rocky and Cascade ranges to reach Seattle. Nettie, her two sons, and three youngest daughters made the 1700 miles in four days and three nights.
They reunited in Fairbanks, Alaska and remained there until the outbreak of World War II, when the Russians threatened to overrun the Alaskan countryside. Arriving in Seattle, Frank and Nettie (Rosie the Riveter) both got a job with Boeing Airplane Company. After the war and until retirement, Frank provided maintenance for the County City Building in Seattle, and Nettie was a clerk for the Navy. Even in retirement, Frank did cement work and remodeled houses. They traveled extensively for the rest of their lives. Frank passed away on January 31, 1971 in Yuma, Yuma, AZ and Nettie died in Sumner, Pierce, WA on July 18, 1977.

41 Autobiography of Mary Brown Pulsipher
1799 - 1886

My grandfather and grandmother Brown, I knew little about;they died when my father was quite young. They had three sons;Joseph, John and Jonathan.

My grandfather and grandmother Fairchild, I well remember.Grandmother died when I was four years old, in Connecticut.Grandfather then went to Pennsylvania and died there. I think theyhad five sons and two girls. The names that I can remember areSamuel, Sherman, Stephan, Eunice and Sarah. Grandfather's name wasStephen, and Grandmother's name was Eunice.

My father, John Brown, born Feb. 25, 1770. Their childrenwere: Juda Brown, born 2 Nov 1793; John Brown, born 24 Aug 1795;Eunice Brown, born in August of 1797; Mary Brown, b. 2 Mar 1799.Thirsa Brown, born 11 Jul 1802; Sally Brown, born 27 Feb 1805;Catherine Brown, b. 13 Aug 1808; Loring G. Brown, b. 17 Aug 1811.They were all born in Connecticut, but Catherine and Loring whowere born in Pennsylvania.

My father moved from Connecticut to Pennsylvania when I wassix years old. My father's home was a home for the MethodistPreachers and all other preachers when they came. I joined theMethodist church when I was 13 years old. I lived in Pennsylvaniauntil I was married in 1815 to Zerah Pulsipher. My oldest child wasborn 30 May 1816.

We lived in Pennsylvania, seven years. Did a great deal ofhard work there; then left and moved to New York State in OneadagoCounty. There we heard the gospel preached for the first time bythe Latter-day Saints. We went forth and were baptized in the year1832 by Jared Carter. He baptized about 20 in that place. Thenordained my husband, Zerah Pulsipher, and left him to preside overthe Church. He baptized more. We stayed there about two years, thenmoved 20 miles to Fabious; lived with a Doctor Newcome one-and-a-half years. Then we all went to Kirtland, Ohio, together. Stayedthere four years. Zerah was ordained there one of the First SevenPresidents by the hands of Joseph Smith, the Prophet.

He helped build the Temple. Got his endownment in it, then wewere driven form that place with the rest of the Saints. We startedin July (15th) with a large camp for Missouri. We all got there inthe fall and went to Davies County. My husband was one of theCouncil that led the camp. We stayed in that place one month; thenwe were driven from there by the mob. Then we went to Far West andstayed there through the winter. Then we had to go again. Westarted in March for Illinois. We stopped 25 miles from Nauvoo, inBear Creek Woods.

The winter we were in the far western part of Missouri, we hadto part with our good old Mother Pulsipher. She was sick one week,and then died. The day before she died, she lay looking up. I said,"Mother, what do you see?" She said, "Oh, don't you see thatlight?" I looked, but could not see any. The next day she saw it again over her bed. She said, "That is a light to light me throughthe dark valley of death." Then she fell asleep without a struggleor groan. I think she was 85 years old.

We stayed in Bear Creek Woods nearly two years. Then the FirstPresidency had gotten out of prison and out of Missouri. The Saintshad begun to settle Nauvoo. They sent for us to move there. We wentthere and stayed, I think, five years. My youngest child, Fidelia,was born there. She was a very smart, promising child, but we couldnot keep her only four years and three months. We buried her there.We helped build the Temple there — got our endowments in it — thenwe started with the rest of the Church west to find some placewhere we could live in peace. We were two years, not forty, ingoing to Salt Lake. We helped cultivate the bare desert and make it"Blossom like the Rose." My husband was one of the City Councilmost of the time we were there.

Then we were called to go south three hundred miles and helpcultivate another barren desert. We have lived 10 years in thisplace, Hebron. We have enjoyed great blessings, lived in peace,none to molest or make afraid, although we have had to part withsome of our dear friends here. Almira, my daughter, died in March,1868, and John's wife, Rosilla, and little boy, William Lewis,died. We lived here, enjoyed ourselves well with our children andgrand children all around us until my husband was called away bydeath, in January 1872. He lived to a good age, and then went downto the grave like a shock of corn, fully ripe. I am spared yet. Ihope to do a little good before I die.

I used to say when my children were small if I could live tosee my children grow up and be honorable men and women, it would beall I could ask for. I have lived to see them all settled with goodfamilies, all trying to do what good they can to build up theKingdom of God. I feel very thankful and much pleased with mychildren. I hope they will live and do much good; be united and beagreeable, and try to help each other and carry out the counciltheir father and mother have given them. I write this after I am 72years old, for my children to look at. It is written very poorly.Perhaps you cannot read it.

Testimony of Mary Brown Pulsipher
May God Bless You All!

By request I write a little more history and experiences.Eight years have passed away since I wrote the little sketches. Iam still here. I will begin by my first experiences in theMethodist church. My parents taught me to be honest, industrious,and to keep the Sabbath Day. They were very strict Methodists. WhenI was about 13 years old I thought I ought to join the MethodistChurch. It was the only church I knew much about. The preacherscame every week to preach at father's house. I told him I wanted tojoin the church and he said I could. I did not know but they wouldcall on me to relate a great experience when I was converted, butI could not have told them. All they did was to put my name on theclass paper for six month's trial. When six months was out thepreachers said, "Here is Sister Mary. She is a good, faithful,worthy Sister. I motion that she be taken in full fellowship." Iwas voted in. Perhaps one year passed — not a word was said aboutbaptism. I said to the preacher, "Do you believe baptism to bea duty for us to obey?" He said baptism was not a saving ordinance.Just to answer a good conscience, I said, "I see by reading the NewTestament, I consider it a duty — a command." He said, "What say?"I said there was only one way that looked to be right — to beimmersed and buried in the water. He said, "the Savior set theexample and He was not immersed. He went out into the water andknelt down and had some water poured on his head." He said he hadseen it in history. He went to the water. He sang and prayed, thentook me by the hand and led me to the water, saying, "Step in andkneel." I did. He dipped a little water, said over the ceremony,and poured it on my head, while he stood on the bank — did not wethis feet. I thought if baptism was to answer a good conscience, Iwas not satisfied. It looked like mockery to me, but I had done myduty.

I write this to let my children see the darkness and ignorancethe world was then in. Surely the Prophet could say darkness andsin had covered the earth, and gross darkness, the people. Irejoice that we live in a day that the true light and true gospelwas shining.

I think I was in the Methodist church about 20 years before Iheard the true gospel. We happened to see the Book of Mormon. Weborrowed it, read it, and believed it, but did not know anythingmore about it. We were very anxious to know more about it. It wasnot long before a Mormon preacher came. We had a great manyquestions to ask. He told us how the Book was found and translated.He said baptism by immersion was the only right way. It was for theremission of sins. I thought that looked right.

In a short time some were ready to be baptized. I wanted to beat the first opportunity, but satan thought he would hinder it. Thenight before baptism, I was taken very lame with rheumatism orsomething. I was so sick I could not get around much. As they werefixing to go, Brother Carter said to me, "Sister Pulsipher, if youwill do your duty, you shall be healed." I took a cane and hobbledto the water and went in. It was a very cold day, but I came outwell, left my cane, and went away rejoicing.

I was very ignorant, I had not heard anything about beingconfirmed, or receiving the Holy Ghost. The next evening went tomeeting and the six that were baptized were there. When he put hishands on my head, he said, "Sister Pulsipher, by the authority ofthe Holy Priesthood and in the name of Jesus, I lay my hands onyour head to bless you and to confirm you a member of the Church ofJesus, I lay my hands on your head to bless you and to confirm youa member of the Church of Jesus Christ. I say unto you, receivethe Holy Ghost." He promised great blessings if I would befaithful. The Spirit of the Lord was there. We sang, prayed, andpraised God together. It was not long before the news went aroundthat Brother and Sister Pulsipher were Mormons. Some would notbelieve it until they came to see us. We had plenty of visitors. Some came to try to convince us that it was all delusion. Theythought they could reclaim us, but went away disconsolate. Otherscame to inquire. They said if we had got something better, theywanted to know it. They would be baptised and go home rejoicing.

I will mention one that came to see me. My brother-in-law,Joseph (Joe) Childister. he lived four miles from me; he was goingto move away, but could not go without seeing me. I had belonged tothe same church he did. He was a preacher. He said I was the lastone he thought of as being led away with such hearsay and elusions,as he thought it was. "Well", I said, "If this is what the worldcalls hearsay, to worship my God," said I, "I know in whom Ibelieve." He said, "I think in about six months you will see yourerror. I think Mormonism will be all down flat in that time." Isaid, "Joseph, I have not the least idea that it will. It willstand. But if it does come down I never could go to the Methodistor another church that I know of. It would be going right intodarkness." He said, "I see I cannot convince you, but I have donemy duty." He cried and bid me farewell. I said, "I thank you forthe kind feelings you have for me. Do not worry about me." I neversaw him after that. He moved away, lived a few years and died verysuddenly with heart disease. He had an appointment to preach theday he was buried. His wife, my sister, died soon after. I thinkthey have heard the gospel preached before this time. Zerah andJoseph were great friends. He had not read the Book of Mormon norheard a sermon preached. He judged before he heard — like so manyothers. If they would hear and heed, without prejudice, there wouldnot be half so many among hearsay, delusion, and false prophets.

Well, I began to gather with the Church. Went to Kirtland,there had my blessings from the first Patriarch in this Church,Father Joseph Smith. He said I should have my friends with me inthis church, and that I would be the means of saving and redeemingthem. I believe every word, but did not understand how it couldcome to pass. I never heard nor thought of being baptised for thedead. He said I had left all for the gospel, I should have ahundred fold in this world and in the world to come, lifeeverlasting, with many more good blessings if I would be faithful.

I am almost 81 years old, have lived and enjoyed myself wellwith my children a long time; I expect the time will come when Imust leave them. I have watched over them, tried to comfort themand instruct them right. I pray that they may live in peace, beunited, and keep all the commandments of God. If riches increase,set not your hearts on them, but lay up treasures in Heaven. It isthe only safe place that we can lay up riches.

I would like to have my children live near together to helpand comfort one another. May God bless you all!

Mary Brown Pulsipher
Hebron, March, 1880.


Memories of my Mother, Mary Brown Pulsipher
by her son John

I, John, take the liberty to write a little in this book, asmother has passed away from mortal life.

She died on the 7th of May 1886, in the midst of friends andabout as near ready as mortals ever get. So I record a little moreof her history in this book.

As she lived to such advanced age, her children well desiredher to give up housekeeping and live with some of us. Then we wouldknow if she needed anything and could help her so much better thanif she was alone in her little house. So she did close her houseand had a good time. She went to St. George and visited herdaughters, Sarah and Eliza, and their children and friends forseveral months. She then returned to Hebron and had pleasant happytime with us at Hebron for about two years.

Truly we did have an enjoyable time talking of early life,incidents of history in Connecticut, and the USA and therestoration of the Gospel and the rise of the Church in this age ofthe world.

When she died, we buried her by the side of father in HebronCemetery. Here is some of Mother's own loose papers that I willrecord in this book.

March 2, 1879 - "When I went to the Relief Society Meeting Iexpected to see 10 or 12 sisters and 3 or 4 of the brothers there -the Bishop told me he was going. When I opened the door, the firstI saw was long tables loaded with pies, cakes, cheese and thecomforts of life. I looked around and saw about every family intown seated there, about 90 percent besides the babies. I was sosurprised it almost overcome me. I said, 'What does all this mean?I came to a meeting but it looks more like a feast.' I then took myseat. The Bishop then arose and said, 'This is in honor of MotherPulsipher. This is her 80th birthday.' I then began to cry, I wasso overcome. The food was then blessed and all enjoyed it to theirfill until all had enough. I was then called on to preside over themeeting. After singing, I asked my oldest son, John, to open themeeting with prayer. Another hymn was sung, then I walked onto thestand and said, 'I don't know as I can say much, but I think thesepeople can keep a secret, for I knew nothing of this feast until Iwas right here and opened the door. I feel very unworthy to have somuch honor and respect shown me. I thank you all. I ask my HeavenlyFather to bless you all. I suppose I am the oldest person here — 80years old today. I have been in the Church over 47 years; havepassed through persecutions, mobings and driving with the Saintssince the days of Kirtland. I rejoice that I am worthy to have aname and place with these people.

"I left all my friends but my own family. Father Smith, thefirst Patriarch in the Church, laid his hands on my head andblessed me. He said I should have my friends in his church, wouldstand on Mt. Zion, help save and redeem them. He said I had leftall to obey the Gospel and that I should in this world have ahundred fold. That is fulfilling very fast. I have 56 grandchildrenand 75 great grandchildren. So you see there is upwards of ahundred fold now and increasing at a wonderful rate. I beg you all,the sisters of the Relief Society, to be faithful, do all the goodyou can, be united, put your faith in God, and you need not haveany fears."

Mary Brown Pulsipher's Farewell Address to Hebron
(These are a few lines mother wrote on Oct 16, 1883, before going to St. George to live awhile.)

I have been in Hebron from the beginning. I located with myboys as they were herding cattle at Shoal Creek when the main partof this country was a desert and sage plain. I have worked hard tomake this a beautiful happy home. With the help of my boys, I builtthe first house out of the fort. Have lived in it about 15 years,and enjoyed myself wonderfully well in it. Have had much joy andconfort in it. Have seen the place grow and flourish, but the timedraws near when I expect to leave it, perhaps never to return, butI leave it with the best of feelings. I never expect to find anyplace I like as well. If I should die away from here I want to bebrought back and buried here with my friends that are waiting forme behind the veil.

I have been in this Church 52 years; passed the persecutionswith the Saints, but never felt to complain, but that all would bewell. I pray my Father in Heaven to bless Hebron, bless the people.May Lord bless the land, the water, the cattle, and all; may it bea healthy delightful place. I bid you all farewell!

Farewell, dear Hebron, we love so well,
Farewell, dear Saints, that in it dwell
May you all be true, keep covenants well
That we may all in Glory dwell.
