He was an English convert to the church who after living In Salt Lake City' for several years moved to Pleasant Grove and later moved his second wife and her children to Santaquin. He had been serving a term under the Edmunds-Tucker law and on being released wrote: I left to go home on the 9th of January 1889 and my family and friends were indeed pleased to see me. The Saints of Santaquin ward made two feasts to welcome me home, and the Sunday School children and the teachers came to the depot with songs to greet me. More love and respect could not be shown to me than was manifested by the people of the town. But in the midst of all the joy and gladness there-was a trial awaiting us, for on the 20th of January I was invited by Presl dent A. O. Smoot to go with him to American Fork. While on the way he asked me if I would ac cept the appointment of bishop of that place. I said "Yes," and I was presented to the Saints of American Fork and they voted to receive me and sustain me with all their hearts. It was quite a surprise both for me and for the Saints of Santaquin for we all loved each other and did not like to part. I immediately prepared to go to my new field of labor and on Saturday, Feb. 2, 1889, with President Smoot, President W. Woodruff and George Q. Cannon and others came and held a mefttagtAmertcaiiFoTk,'tcna they said all they could to cheer and strengthen me for my duties, as it was considered a very hard place to preside."
