"I am going like a lamb to the slaughter, but I am calm as a
summer's morning. I have a conscience void of offense toward God
and toward all men. If they take my life, I shall die an
innocent man, and my blood shall cry from the ground for
vengeance, and it shall be said of me, 'He was murdered in cold
blood.'"

Issues Extermination Order Against Mormons, Oct 27, 1838

"Headquarters
of the Militia,
City of Jefferson, Oct. 27, 1838.
General John B. Clark:
Sir Since the order of this morning to you, directing
you to cause four hundred mounted men to be raised
within your division, I have received by Amos Reese,
Esq., of Ray county, and Wiley C. Williams, Esq., one of
my aids, information of the most appalling character,
which entirely changes the face of things, and places
the Mormons in the attitude of an open and avowed
defiance of the laws, and of having made war upon the
people of this state. Your orders are, therefore, to
hasten your operation with all possible speed. The
Mormons must be treated as enemies, and must be
exterminated or driven from the state if necessary for
the public peace--their outrages are beyond all
description. If you can increase your force, you are
authorized to do so to any extent you may consider
necessary. I have just issued orders to Maj. Gen.
Willock, of Marion county, to raise five hundred men,
and to march them to the northern part of Daviess, and
there unite with Gen. Doniphan, of Clay, who has been
ordered with five hundred men to proceed to the same
point for the purpose of intercepting the retreat of the
Mormons to the north. They have been directed to
communicate with you by express, you can also
communicate with them if you find it necessary. Instead
therefore of proceeding as at first directed to
reinstate the citizens of Daviess in their homes, you
will proceed immediately to Richmond and then operate
against the Mormons. Brig. Gen. Parks of Ray, has been
ordered to have four hundred of his brigade in readiness
to join you at Richmond. The whole force will be placed
under your command.
I am very respectfully,
your ob't serv't,
L.
W. Boggs,
Commander-in-Chief.

The Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints or the Mormon Church
was founded by a young man named Joseph Smith, Jr. in April
1830. Church members were severely persecuted and driven
from New York, Ohio, Missouri, and ultimately Illinois.
After Joseph Smith's murder in 1844, the Latter Day Saints
or Mormons abandoned their homes in Nauvoo, Illinois in fear
that mobs would soon come to destroy them.
The Mormons fled from Nauvoo on February 4, 1846 for fear of
attack. The journey was bitter cold and miserable. It took
them approximately four months to cross Iowa, due to severe
weather and axle-deep mud. Ultimately, they crossed the
Missouri River and settled an area on the Nebraska side,
which they called Winter Quarters. Some of the pioneers
stayed there for the winter of 1846, while others stopped at
temporary camps outside of Winter Quarters. By the spring of
1847, almost 400 lives had been lost, largely due to
inadequate provisions and exposure.
Having
learned many lessons from the previous years hardships,
Brigham Young led a vanguard group west from Winter Quarters
on April 5, 1847. The first group numbered 148. However,
16,000 Mormons were to follow that year. After traversing
over 1,000 miles across Nebraska, Wyoming, and Utah the
first group arrived in the Valley of the Great Salt Lake on
July 24, 1847.

The Mormon Trail
Janet,
Elizabeth, Robert and Margaret Russell (children of
Robert Russell and Agnes Adam) were Mormons
living in Chapel Hall, Bothwell, Lanarkshire. The three sisters
would emigrate from Scotland to the USA...
Two valiant sons of Scotland, Elders Samuel Mulliner and
Alexander Wright, who had embraced the gospel in Canada and had
in 1839 both received mission calls, were called to introduce
the gospel in Scotland. They arrived in Glasgow on December 20,
1839, and left the following day for Edinburgh, where they were
welcomed by Elder Mulliner’s parents. Elder Mulliner stayed with
his parents in Edinburgh for a few days; then he began
systematic missionary
work at
Bishopton, near Paisley. On January 10, 1840, in a small meeting
room that had been procured for the purpose, he first proclaimed
the gospel in public meeting in Scotland. Four days later
Alexander Hay and his wife, Jessie, were baptized in the River
Clyde, near Bishopton.
- from History of the Church in Great Britain, Ensign Magazine,
Sept, 1971
Through Parley P. Pratt’s classic missionary pamphlet
(A Voice of Warning),
the first seeds of testimony began to grow in that austere land.
From this very small beginning, nearly ten thousand Scots would
join the Church within twenty years, and more than seven
thousand would emigrate to the new Zion in Utah. Scotland soon
became one of the fertile mission fields of the Restoration, and
her own children made it so. The first two elders who broke the
ground for those to follow were Scots themselves. One of them
was Alexander Wright.

"EMIGRATION. -- The fine ship Norfolk, Captain Elliot, sailed
from this port on the 19th September, under very favorable
circumstances, at a quarter past three p.m., having on board
about 143 souls put on by us. We rejoice to see so practical an
illustration of the faith of the Saints being unshaken by the
late tragical events in the West, and that the Saints are not
living according to the precepts of men, but the word of the
Lord. Any anxious to emigrate about the 12th instant, can have
an opportunity of doing so, by making early application. Early
in January next we expect to charter a ship, and should be glad
to receive notice as soon as possible of all who intend to go at
that time."

Elizabeth Russell Wardrobe probably
met John Gray, farmer, in or near Nauvoo, and they may have been part
of the 1846-1847 exodus with Brigham Young.
Nauvoo Temple c 1846
Nauvoo c 1846
In all of Church history, perhaps nothing symbolizes the
pragmatic nature of Latter-day Saint religion as does the city
of Nauvoo. On the very hem of the western frontier, the
Latter-day Saints drained the swamps, wrote an ambitious city
charter, established a university, mounted a city militia, and
built a temple.
To Nauvoo and its vicinity came the great majority of all
Latter-day Saint converts for the next seven years, swelling the
population to about 20,000 by 1846. At its height it rivaled
Chicago as the largest city in the state. A vibrant, culturally
eclectic place, it came to be known as "Nauvoo, the Beautiful."
Painting of the Exodus from
Nauvoo
On 4
February 1846, in the heart of a Midwestern winter so cold and
bitter the Mississippi River froze over, the Latter-day Saints
were driven from their homes and lands
(in Nauvoo)
down a street which came to be known as the "Street of Tears"
and into the unknown mystery of the western frontier...
"For Brigham Young and his associates, the 1846 exodus from
Nauvoo, far from being a disaster imposed by enemies, was
foretold and foreordained—a key to understanding LDS history and
a necessary prelude for greater things to come. From a later
perspective too, scholars of the Mormon experience have come to
see the exodus and colonization of the Great Basin as the single
most important influence in molding the Latter-day Saints into a
distinctive people". (Reed C.
Durham Jr., "Westward Migration, Planning and Prophecy," in
Daniel H. Ludlow, ed., Encyclopedia
of Mormonism, 5
vols. [1992], 4:1563).
- from Nauvoo, Illinois, 1839-1846
"In every part of the city scenes
of destitution, misery and woe met the eye. Families were
hurrying away from their homes,
without a shelter, — without means of conveyance, — without
tents, money, or a day's provision, with as much of their
household stuff as they could carry in their hands. Sick men and
women were carried upon their beds — weary mothers, with
helpless babes dying in their arms, hurried away — all fleeing,
they scarcely knew or cared whither, so it was from their
enemies, whom they feared more than the waves of the
Mississippi, or the heat, and hunger and lingering life and
dreaded death of the prairies on which they were about to be
cast. The ferry boats were crowded, and the river bank was lined
with anxious fugitives, sadly awaiting their turn to pass over
and take up their solitary march to the wilderness."
- from Nauvoo Guide, 1939
No odyssey in Mormon history
surpasses the tragedy and triumph of the Mormon exodus (February
to June 1846) from Nauvoo, Illinois, to Winter Quarters,
Nebraska. Deaths and other tragedies were varied and numerous,
resulting from such terrors as “black scurvy,” cholera morbus,
typhoid fever, “quick consumption” (tuberculosis), and maternal
deaths, not to mention the weaknesses of human beings under
stress. The triumph derived from the successful emigration of
thousands of men, women, children, and livestock under such
abominable conditions.

Evidence from land and Church
records indicates that
Elizabeth Russell and John Gray along with Elizabeth's son
Andrew Wardrobe and their infant daughter Isabel (born in
Missouri in 1846) travelled (with "unidentified companies") to Utah in
1847-1848.
In the
winter of 1848, Mormon Scots again began to cross the
Atlantic. One group came on the Carnatic, which had about
120 Mormon emigrants on board, half of whom were from
Scotland. These Scottish Saints arrived in the Salt Lake
Valley in the fall of 1848, following a rough ocean
crossing. The following year, Frederic Gardner noted on the
voyage of the James Pennell, “I believe altogether there are
about 250 souls, probably one hundred or more of whom are
from Scotland. But all are filled with the spirit of the
gospel, and working in harmony with each other.” John Penman
remembered, “Myself, wife, and three children bid adieu to
dear old Scotland and cast our lot with the Mormons and to
make a home with that peculiar people in the desert wilds of
North America.” During the latter half of the nineteenth
century, the Scots gathered as individuals and families by
the hundreds and thousands to make a desert blossom as a
rose. - from

The
Mexican-American War: The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo sealed
the American victory in 1848. In return for $15 million and
the assumption of Mexican debts to Americans, Mexico gave up
its hold over New Mexico and California. The enormous
territory included present-day California, Nevada, Utah, and
parts of Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Colorado and
Wyoming. Mexico also agreed to finally relinquish all of
Texas, including the disputed area along the border. The
U.S. Congress approved the treaty on March 10.

The Mexican American War
The
Compromise of 1850 made Utah a U.S. territory. Brigham Young
was appointed its s first territorial governor in 1850 and
re-appointed in 1854, but conflict soon developed between
his theocracy and several non-Mormon officials who had been
sent to the territory by the federal government. Those
officials levied accusations of intimidation and the
destruction of government documents against Young. From the
beginnings of his presidency, James Buchanan judged it
necessary to use force to assert federal supremacy in Utah.
In the spring of 1857 he declared the territory in
"rebellion," and soldiers amounting to 20 percent of the
entire American army began to march west that summer. For
the Mormons, this approaching force raised the specter of
past "extermination orders" and state-sanctioned violence
against them, and Young's followers prepared for war. In
August, the Mormon leader declared himself in defiance of
all "Governments, but especially ours ... I will fight them
and I will fight all hell." - from

Elizabeth Russell
married John Gray (born about 1818 in Scotland) sometime before 1850,
and probably in Nauvoo, Illinois.
Apparently John "was a
harness maker and had learned his trade in Scotland. His family
disowned him because he joined the early LDS church and immigrated".
They had eleven children: Elizabeth (1869-1878); Charles Henry
(1872-1959); William Russell (1874-1906); Isaac Sherwood
(1876-1956); Maude May (1880-1967); Ida Delilah (1881-1967);
Margaret "Dewie" Cadella (1884-1972); Isabelle Alvera (1886-1958);

We beg to inform
the Saints intending to emigrate that we are now prepared to
receive their applications for berths. Every application should
be accompanied by the names, age, occupation, country where
born, and £1 deposit for each one named, except for children
under one year old. Although children under one year old have
their passage free to New Orleans, their names and ages are
required by us equally as much as other passengers’. The dietary
scale may be expected in our next. Passengers must furnish their
own beds and bedding, their cooking utensils, provision boxes,
&c. Every person applying for a berth or berths should be
careful to give their address very distinct, in order to insure
the delivery of our answer to them by letter carriers.
By reference to
STAR no. 32, it will be seen that £10 each was named as the
lowest sum upon which single persons or families could be
encouraged by us to emigrate from Liverpool to Great Salt Lake
City; therefore persons not having that amount should apply for
passage to New Orleans, as we do not purpose to ship any Saints
but those who are prepared to go through to the Valley without
detention.
Our first vessel
will sail in the fore part of January 1853; and as soon as our
arrangements are complete, the passengers for that ship will be
notified when to be in Liverpool, and receive all further
necessary information; the same routine will be observed in
reference to the succeeding ship. Deposits may be forwarded
until the close of the year, or later, as may hereafter be
noticed.

Saturday 12th of March I got notification to be in Liverpool to
sail with the Falcon on the 28th of March. Sailing vessels were
very scarce that year as the "gold fever" had broken out in
Australia and all were going there. On Saturday 19th, I left
Glasgow with about 100 Saints to sail on the same vessel. I was
a little sick on the way to Liverpool. I watched the luggage at
night on the steamer. On the 20th we arrived in Liverpool where
I found lodgings at Mrs. Gellian's. On March 21st we removed our
luggage to sheds on the Bramly [Bramley] Moor Dock. I watched
the luggage part of the night. That same day I went to the
office and paid the other four pounds for my passage. We watched
our luggage by turns until Monday the 28th of March when we
sailed out of Liverpool. It was a fine day but cold.

Latter-Day Saints. I was ordained a teacher by Elder
Robert Baird in the year 1850, and I was also
ordained a Priest by Elder James Letham in the year
1851. In the spring of 1853 it was considered wise
for me to emigrate to Zion. My brother Charles
assumed the care of the family and on March 15th I
sailed from Glasgow, and on the 28th left Liverpool
on the good ship Falcon, via New Orleans. We were
nine weeks and two days on the sea.

Tuesday
29th. This morning I got up about 6 o'clock for prayers but
after getting my clothes almost on I felt very sick and had
to return to my bed again. I vomited considerable and being
at the fore end of the ship [p. 47] I was brought down to
about the center to sleep with Brother [James] Livingston
for convenience of him waiting on me, and where the ship did
not heave so much. I continued sick all that day and dept
vomiting now & then. I understood that there was two
marriages this day but I was unable to attend them.
Wednesday 30th. I continued sick all this day and could eat
nothing but drank water & vomited it up again. Weather was
still very tame.
Thursday 31st. I was still sick. I could take no meat. This
day a child died aged 11 months. In the evening the wind
began to rise & about 7 o'clock all in a sudden the ship
commenced [p. 48] to rock & dart at such a rate and the tins
tumbling back & forward, and also the boxes, for there was
few of them tied for we was not looking for a storm, & when
the chests began to tumble, them that was not in bed nor
prepared for had to rush into bed clothes & all. Brother
Livingston came running into the bed beside me while I lay
sick. Shoes & all on, & Sister Widdison had went to her bed
in the same way, the hoses was put on and left us all in the
dark while the chests continued to dash from one side of the
ship to the other in great fury. In the waves was dashing
over the ship & was running in at the seams of the boat at a
[p. 49] considerable rate which terrified some of the women
& children. It continued in this way till about morning when
it got a little tamer. - From the Diary

"We
went up the Mississippi River to Keokuk a few miles
below Nauvoo, the outfitting place for the
emigration across the plains. We stopped at this
place several weeks, breaking cattle and organizing
companies for the great journey to the rocky
Mountains. At this place I was detailed to guard and
herd cattle as they were brought from the outfitting
trains. While herding stock nearly opposite Nauvoo
on the Iowa side of the river in company with R.W.
Attwood, I had the pleasure of visiting the Mansion
House at Nauvoo and spent the night there with Emma
Smith and her children by Major Biddaman the man to
whom she was married after the death of the Prophet.
Our stay there was made a very pleasant one through
the kindness of Major Biddaman who took us in his
carriage to view the home of Brigham Young, and
several of the twelve apostles including the home of
Joseph Smith. The Temple had been burned but part of
the walls were standing, and we were much interested
even in the ruins.

"During
the westward journey we traveled in Appleton
Harmon's company and he was a faithful Captain. He
appointed my father as hunter for the company.
Father would go ahead of the wagon train and when he
could find buffalo close to the road, he would shoot
one down and wait for the wagon train to divide it
up. The Cholera was in the wagon train in front of
us, and the one behind us, and the Captain advised
that we use as little meat as possible.

"The
Indians were on the war path. Once we were stopped
by them. It seemed to me there were a thousand of
them. They could easily have killed us, but the men
gave them provisions, robbing themselves, and we all
suffered through dividing with them. There were
seven deaths in our company... The buffalo were so
numerous we had to stop for them to pass. There was
no going till they crossed the road. We children had
to walk most of the way.

"We
traveled up the Platte River, where I first saw wild
Indians, the Potterwotamu tribe. One day about noon
we saw four or five hundred very wild-looking
Indians running across the prairie toward us. They
came to a halt in front of our wagon, threw spears
and tomohawks, drew their bows, threatening to shoot
if we did not stop. They presented a dreadful sight,
painted red and black, and their warwhoops were
shreikingly fearful. They demanded the oxen, ten
sacks of flour and five sacks of sugar to let us
pass, but our Captain made signs on his fingers
denoting one ox, one sack of sugar and one sack of
flour. They finally consented. I will never forget
how savage and wild they looked as we passed through
their ranks. We had no further trouble with the
Indians until we reached the Sioux country, where we
had to make a second donation. But our Captain said
that President Brigham Young told him it was better
to feed the Indians than to fight them.
Now we
traveled along the bank of the Platte River and
passed many Indian camps. In one camp I saw a white
girl about twelve years of age. She was dressed
well, but could not speak English. No doubt she had
been taken captive from some wagon train they had
burned and destroyed and from people whom they had
massacred.
We
passed many lonely graves by the roadside with
Buffalo heads as markers, the inscription having
been made with black paint on the white skull. This
was a source of grief and pity to me. There was a
man by the mane of Savin with the company. He had a
light wagon and a pair of horses and could, and did,
travel miles ahead of the wagon train. Mr. Savin was
a geologist and liked to pick up curious specimen of
rock which he would find along the roadside. He
seemed not to sense the danger but one day, sad to
relate, we found him lying by the road, scalped and
with a half dozen arrows in his body. He was dead,
his horse was gone and his wagon had been burned. I
shall never forget that sight.

A Sketch in the Life of the

Elizabeth Russell
Wardrobe and her son Andrew had emigrated from Scotland to Salt Lake
City, Utah, in 1848. Elizabeth probably met John Gray in Nauvoo,
Illinois.
Nine months after arrival in Salt
Lake, Agnes Widdison (daughter of Janet Russell and Thomas
Widdison) married a young man that she had probably known
since her childhood. James Campbell Livingston was born in
the same town as Agnes, in Shotts, Lanark, Scotland.
He went to the same branch of the church as Agnes, and they
came to America on the same ship. James indicated that they
were nine weeks and two days on the sea and then went up the
Mississippi River to Keokuk, a few miles below Nauvoo for
outfitting to cross the plains. Agnes and James were married
at the ages of 23 and 20 respectively, on June 7, 1854 by
Bishop John Lytle of the Seventh Ward. Three years later, on
March 13, 1857, they were both endowed and then sealed for
time and eternity in the New Endowment House. - from

On May 17, 1855, Orson Hyde, apostle of The Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints, prominent Mormon colonizer and
newly appointed Probate Judge of Carson County, Utah Territory,
left Salt Lake City for Carson Valley. His company included
George F. Stiles (also Styles), judge of the Third Federal
District Court that included Carson Valley; United States
Marshal Joseph L. Heywood; and 36 Mormon colonizers who had been
"called to strengthen the number of Mormon residents in Carson
Valley. - From

The 1862 Nevada Territorial Census lists a John
Gray in the Ormsby
Militia, but the full
census shows a John Grey, 26, so this may not be "our" John
Gray. The full census also lists an Orren Clemens. This would be
Samuel Clemens brother Orion who had been appointed by Abraham
Lincoln as Secretary of Nevada Territory. Also listed on the
full census are a number of "characters" from Mark Twain's
"Irish Brigade" from Roughing
It, including John and Thomas Nye.
In 1859, a stone quarry was established at the mouth of the
canyon on the north side of the creek to provide granite for the
construction of the Salt Lake Temple. The quarry operated
intermittently from 1860 to 1870, when James C. Livingston was
sent to the quarry to establish a permanent operation. In 1874,
the Church quarrymen moved one and one half miles further into
the canyon following the route of the newly constructed railroad
to its terminus at Fairfield Flat to a site where the stones
were large and numerous and seemed to be of a higher grade
material than those at the mouth of the canyon. The town of
Wasatch was established at the terminus site not far from the
quarry. The town grew from 13 people in 1874 to 300 people in
1883. The town flourished until the quarry discontinued
operation in 1893 when the temple was completed. However, the
remains of Wasatch continues today as Wasatch Resort, with
several summer homes as well as some year around homes dotting
the landscape. - from

The Black Hawk War
1865-1872
Growing frictions
over land and resources led to Utah's most intense Mormon-Indian
conflict, the Black Hawk War. The Utes and their allies killed
around 75 Anglos; the Mormons in return killed many Indians.
Both sides committed atrocities and killed many innocents before
it was over. On April 9, 1865, a group of Utes and Mormon
settlers met near Manti to resolve a quarrel. The Utes had
stolen and eaten some of the Mormons' cattle. During the talk,
one of the settlers grabbed the one of the Indians and threw him
down off his horse. This angered the Utes, including a young man
named Black Hawk. This was the start of the Black Hawk War...

Chief Burt was shot and killed while investigating a
report of a man shooting a gun. The suspect was upset about
not getting a job at a local store and started to menace the
owner with a pistol. As Chief Burt and another officer
responded the man went to another location and obtained a
.45 caliber Springfield rifle. When the Chief approached the
man at 2nd South and Main Street the man shot Chief Burt in
the chest. The suspect then shot and wounded the second
officer before being taken into custody. An angry crowd
gathered at the jail, forcibly removed the man, and then
lynched him. Chief Burt had been in law enforcement for 24
years and was survived by his wife. -

The Black Hawk
Indian War was the longest and most destructive conflict between
pioneer immigrants and Native Americans in Utah History. The
traditional date of the war's commencement is 9 April 1865 but
tensions had been mounting for years. On that date bad feelings
were transformed into violence when a handful of Utes and Mormon
frontiersmen met in Manti, Sanpete County, to settle a dispute
over some cattle killed and consumed by starving Indians. An
irritated (and apparently inebriated) Mormon lost his temper and
violently jerked a young chieftain from his horse. The insulted
Indian delegation, which included a dynamic young Ute named
Black Hawk, abruptly left, promising retaliation. The threats
were not idle - for over the course of the next few days Black
Hawk and other Utes killed five Mormons and escaped to the
mountains with hundreds of stolen cattle. Naturally, scores of
hungry warriors and their families flocked to eat "Mormon beef"
and to support Black Hawk, who was suddenly hailed as a war
chief...
The years 1865
to 1867 were by far the most intense of the conflict. Latter-day
Saints considered themselves in a state of open warfare. They
built scores of forts and deserted dozens of settlements while
hundreds of Mormon militiamen chased their illusive adversaries
through the wilderness with little success. Requests for federal
troops went unheeded for eight years. Unable to distinguish
"guilty" from "friendly" tribesmen, frustrated Mormons at times
indiscriminately killed Indians, including women and children.

James C.
Livingston became superintendent of the church quarries at the
mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon from which the granite for the
Salt Lake Temple was being quarried. This was about the year
1867. He continued to hold this position until the capstone of
the temple was laid in the year 1890... James C. Livingston
early made the acquaintance of Bishop John Sharp and they were
fast friends until the death of Bishop Sharp on December 23,
1891. They worked together in the quarries getting out stone for
the tabernacle and other buildings. These two men together with
Andrew Smith and other trusted and true men were body guards to

- from
A Sketch in the Life of the
Thomas Widdison Family of Scotland and England
In the early 80s
began the activities of the U. S. officers in the enforcement of
the anti-polygamy laws, accompanied by the well remembered raids
of the U. S. marshals in the arresting the men and women so
involved. During these trying times it became necessary for many
of the church authorities and leading brethren to remain in
retirement or in hiding at all times, and the church quarry and
vicinity often afforded a place of concealment for them. The
home of James A. Muir at Wasatch was a resting place many times
for those brethren who were brought there by Livingston for a
night's repose. There was a bridge spanning Little Cottonwood
creek from the boarding house to the south side where the summer
sleeping quarters of the men were located. On the south side
also was located the office of the superintendent of the quarry.
Livingston seldom slept at night when any of the brethren were
in the vicinity, particularly keeping watch at the bridge. No
officer seemed inclined to make the effort to cross the bridge
and it is said that he once forcibly ejected one who attempted
it. Among the church leaders who were there from time to time
were President John Taylor, President Woodruff, Joseph F. Smith,
Wm. H. Preston and others. J. W. McHenry was the teamster for
the President in those days with Richard James as assistant.
The following incident is reported to have taken place at the
office building on the south side of the creek: President John
Taylor and his counselor George Q. Cannon were in hiding at this
time and their arrest was very much desired by the officials who
were prosecuting the cases arising from plural marriage. These
two men were on a certain day with Brother Livingston in the
little two room office building before referred to. A horse and
buggy appeared on the road leading to the boarding house
situated on the north side of the creek. The buggy contained two
deputy marshals who were as usual looking for the men in hiding.
Brother Livingston recognized them, being well acquainted with
them, and as they approached he invited them into the office to
have a drink. In the meantime the two brethren mentioned just
retired to the rear room. The deputies were treated courteously
by Bro. Livingston in his hospitable Scotch manner, joining with
him in a social glass. After a while they took their leave. The
two men in the rear room whom the officers would have given a
great deal to apprehend at that particular time, no doubt
breathed a trifle easier owing to Livingston's quick initiative.
James C. Livingston once remarked that people say of me "That I
know no fear; but I am afraid at times though when called upon
to do things I will not shirk from my duty."

Livingston Family Residence in
Birch Creek, near Fountain Green, Utah c. 1887
House built in Birch Creek,
Sanpete, Utah, by James Campbell Livingston Sr. about 1887.
The house was was referred to as the finest in the valley
and very elegantly furnished. Peacocks roamed about the
yard, beautiful flowers bloomed and were well cared for.
There was a pond on the property, used to store water for
irrigating the crops, garden, shrubs, and trees. Ducks made
the pond their home, as did polliwogs, frogs, and
salamanders. In the winter, blocks of ice were cut from this
pond and stored in a small ice house. The ice would last
well into the summer. James is seated on the porch at the
right, with his left arm on the rail. His right arm having
been blown off by an accidental dynamite explosion while
cutting granite at the stone quarry in Little Cottonwood
Canyon to be used in the building of the Salt Lake Temple.

Cassia County was created in 1879
from the parent County of Owyhee and a Temporary County seat
was approved 20 Feb 1879. On April 7 1879 Marsh Basin was
appointed as temporary County seat. The County was divided into
seven precincts: Cassia Creek, Clear Creek, Goose Creek, Marsh
Basin, Oakley, Rock Creek and Sublett. On April 14 1879 two more
precincts were formed, Salmon Falls and Bonanza Bar. The county
seat was Albion until 13 Jan 1919 when it was moved to Burley.
There were many mixed feelings towards the County seat being
moved. County officers declared elected as County and Precinct
officers as of June 9 1879 were: Probate Judge James H. Chase;
Sheriff J.E. Harrington; Auditor and Recorder S.P. Weatherman;
Treasurer M.G. Robison; Assessor T.M. Gray; County Commissioners
C.M. Gray, R.A. Beecher and Sidney Kelly; Coroner J.D Burch;

Falls, M. O'Conner; Rock Creek, A.D. Norton and Lars Larson;
Oakley, James Chaplow; Goose Creek, J.E. Miller and W.D.
Robbins; Sublett, J. Galliger and Henry Powers; Bonanza
Bar, Tho. Henry; Clear Creek, H.A. Baker; Marsh Basin, Josiah

communities of Albion, Almo, Burley, Declo, Elba, Malta, Oakley
and Sublett. - Christine Storey

Laying the Capstone of the Great
Temple at Salt Lake City, April 6th, 1892
Multiple-family housing began to appear in the district
(Capitol Hill neighborhoods in Salt Lake City) in
the early 1890s. According to one report, in April of
1888, there was a "scarcity of rentable houses and a
great demand for them," particularly four-room cottages
for small families. This housing shortage may also
account for the number of boarders. Robert Widdison
(1844-1921), blacksmith, and his wife, Lois Thompson
(1849-1901), built a Victorian brick house on Pugsley
Court in 1894. After his wife's death, Widdison
converted the house to a duplex, and it has remained a
two-family dwelling since. - US Department of the

"I have always loved and
honored my parents and have lived in happy homes with them.
I have made mistakes many of them for which I cannot blame
my parents, their teachings and advise to their children
have always been the best. My mother had a quicker temper
than my father, she would some time use the rod, not so with
father, a word from him was sufficient. My mother had brown
eyes and dark hair. My father had blue eyes and dark hair.
My father average weight as I remember him was about 150 to
160 lbs. - height about 5'7" or 8". He was a good black
smith and repaired his own machinery and tools on the farm
and always did his work well. He was naturally religious and
I never remember when he did not have a firm testimony of
the gospel and the divinity of the Prophet Joseph Smith's
mission and his advise was always to obey the authority of
the priesthood and leaders of the church. He enjoyed a good
joke and always tried to look upon the bright side of life.
He was an interpretation of Bing Crosby's definition of
personality "When I met him I was looking down but when I
left him I was looking up." I never expect to be a better
man than was he and I shall be satisfied if I can live as
well and as good a life as he lived. He died at the age of
67 years and appreciated his family and many many friends.
He was born on St. Valentine's day Feb 14, 1858. I
have heard him sing "Flow Gently Sweet Afton" and "You'll
never miss the Water till the Well runs dry" and others. I
think his favorite song was "The cricket on the hearth"
which he often had his two oldest daughters Phebe and Minnie
sing after he had his evening meal and waiting for bed time.
Jesse resembles father in looks a great deal from pictures I
have seen of father when he was Jesse's age."

Elizabeth
Russell Gray died on Oct 4, 1904, in Genesee, Latah County,
Idaho, at the age of 90.
James Campbell
Livingston (husband of both Agnes and Hannah
Widdison) died on
Oct 17, 1909, in Fountain Green,
Utah, at the age of 75.
James C. Livingston
passed from this life on October 17, 1909. On the day of the funeral
just before the hour for the services, his wife Agnes directed his
son Thomas W. and I to go to the basement of the home and get the
box containing the remains of his right arm. It will be remembered
that he lost the arm by reason of a premature blast while working on
the Union Pacific Rail Road in Echo Canyon. He had kept the box
containing the arm in a box which was buried in the lost at his home
in the 20th ward for many years, taking it to Fountain Green with
him at the time of his removal there. I noted that it was at this
time in a new box. At the conclusion of the services and when the
body was laid in the grave the arm was placed at his right side
where it belonged. The burial was in the Fountain Green cemetery. In
the year 1910 the family erected a nice monument to his memory. It
may there be seen at any time.

FOUNTAIN
GREEN, Sanpete Co., Oct. 26. -- The funeral of
Patriarch James C. Livingston, who passed to the
great beyond Sunday, Oct. 17, at his residence in
Fountain Green, Utah, after an illness of over a
year, was held in the meetinghouse here Thursday,
Oct. 21. Bishop C. J. Christiansen presided, and the
ward choir furnished beautiful music. The speakers
were Bishop W. D. Kuhre of Sandy, Bishop Jas. A.
Muir of Granite, Patriarch John Smith and President
Anthon H. Lund of the first presidency, who all came
from the north to attend the funeral, all paying
high tribute to his noble character. The members of
his family were all present at the funeral except
two sons and a sister, who were not able to attend.
James C.
Livingston was born Dec. 2, 1833, at Shotts, near
Lanark, Lanarkshire, Scotland; became a member of
the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in
1849, and came to Salt Lake City Oct. 16, 1853. He
worked for a time and lived in the family of Brigham
Young, and soon after began work in the Red Butte
quarry under John Sharp. His skill in this work and
his natural power to lead men soon gained
recognition by President Young and others. When the
first railroads entered Utah he acted as foreman
over a large gang of men and superintended much of
the construction work of the Union Pacific and other
railroads. |
He was
offered a position as road master on the Southern
Pacific at a good salary, and was called to
superintended the temple quarry in Little
Cottonwood, Salt Lake county, and accepted the
latter, although at a great sacrifice, regarding the
call from the president of the Church as the thing
to be accepted first. He superintended the temple
quarry until the temple was completed.
He was a
captain in the military organization in the early
days of Utah, and was a member of most of the
exploring and Indian schirmishing parties in the
pioneer days. he was a member of the police force of
Salt Lake City for many years and was a most
efficient officer. He was a man of strong
personality, and no man met him without being
impressed with this fact. He moved to Fountain
Green, Sanpete county, about 25 years ago, where he
spent his last days. He was married three times and
was the father of 18 children, six of whom preceded
him to the other side. He was held in the highest
esteem wherever known for his unswerving integrity
and probity.

From

In 1909 the
legislature passed a law creating a Board of Commissioners of
Indian War Records. Their duties were to ascertain the names of
the persons who were members of any organization performing
military duties during Indian wars or expeditions against the
Indians during territorial years. Veterans completed affidavits
of service; two witnesses also completed affidavits supporting
the facts. The affidavits were then filed in the office of the
chairman of the board, the Adjutant General of the State.
Robert Russell
Widdison completed an "Affidavit Concerning Service In Indian
Wars Within The State of Utah and of Service Relating Thereto"
indicating that he had served under Captain William L. Binder
and "was in constant service. Made an expedition against the
Indians to Fort Gunnison". See
the affidavit.
Charles
Livingston's sister Jane also completed an affadavit on behalf
of her husband indicating that he had "marched 125 miles to
Moroni and was assigned to duty in the North part of Sanpete
County. Was in active service until released". See
the affidavit.
