The Indian question has occupied much of the time, attention and means of the nation since its first settlement by the white people, brought about in the majority" of cases by their avarice and injustice. In 1 864 there was a war with the Cheyennes; in 1873 the Modoc War occurred; in 1876 the memorable war with the Sioux Indians took place, when General Custer and nearly' all of his command were slain by Sitting Bull and his followers, and in 1877 a war occurred between Nez Perces Indians and the United States. Of . coarse the latter army being so much more powerful were conquerors, and the savages were driven from their legal "property ancj made more savage in feelings than before. Trouble began to arise between employers and employ-ees- a strike of railroad employees commenced in .'June, 1877, on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad and soon spread to most of the roads in the northern States, interrupting traffic for several years.

One of the most importaut events in President Hayes' administration was the Civil Service Refoim law, one essential feature" being that no government officer should be allowed to take part in any political campaign. : . g , .

They crossed the plains by ox team and endured all the hardships incident to such journeyings, arriving in Salt Lake City, Oct. 1853. In 1869 they settled in Ogden and have ever since made this city their home. She' joined the Fourth Ward Relief Society at its organization, which took place Jan. 17th, 1879, and was at tnat time called to be a teacher, a position which she faithfully filled until May 8th. 1883, when she was called to the office of second counselor; here again she labored with diligence until June 27th, 188S, at which time she was chosen first counselor which position she also honorably and faithfully filled until our Heavenly Father in His infinite wisdom called her hence, to a more exalted place. She was a noble woman and greatly endeared to all who were acquainted with her, but it was" in her own home that her life shone out with all the glory of true motherhood, and her death has left an aching void that can never be filled.
