There . was ..t this time, guile a great excitement because Indian Tonab had Killed a San Pitch Indian. Indian Atapene buried in City Creek canyon His squa-true Indian style, with her horse and do,? as traveling companions, Ins was a new sight to us. By the advice of Father Morlev our president we moved our camp from the .ink ot the creek to a much more ad vanlageous piace, under the quarry, where the Temple now stands. esse V.

Again 111 1830, a genial spring opened finding us with poor teams, tedious and tiresome was the putting in of our limited seeJ, we experienced all tne inconveniences of great scarcity. We were reduced with the Indians to one common level, we weie all short of Oui base of supplies was provisions Salt Lake, the Indians where they could steal it. Indian Chief Walker wilh his men entered into a conspiracy to massa, cie the men, take our women and children and with our piovisiuns leave the field of their fiendish designs. Our feelings were dreadiuly harrowed up by these startling facts. Chiefs Arapene and Amou would consent to this inhumane massacre. A111011 who had lived with me through the winter, came the same evening of the proposed massacie kis-e- d the children, bade us good-byas ne expected before the dawn, the men would be massacred. Marvelously we were preserved. first Our harvest was badely frost bitten and extremelv scant, about five acres of grain was my result. With that indomitable courage so characteristic o Bro. Funk, he built a shingle null up the creek, and Bro. D. H. Wells bought all the first products of the null for the roof of the Council House in Salt Lake, they were delivered bv our teams to the Cuv some time in the year 1S50. To accomplish this trip it was necessary to take our own ferrv boats with us, I aJded to this load ol shingles m.ooo shingles I had split and shaved. Af or many escape? to man and teams we airived in Salt Lake and were rovally welcomed and entertained, nun ng home in Manti safely we left thankful for tne preservation vouchsafed, In the year 1851 prest. Brigham Young, and company made a tour of the Southern Country, the destination Barowan, Iron County, he came by way of Manti. By his request a number of men and teams prep, tied to accompany I left with the company for lire prest. Iron Comity. At Barowan we found Apostle (le 0. A. Smith wuh about ibirtv lamilres seeking new hurries. '1 Inee duvsof thorough exnl onti n gave to tue company me Knowledge of the cluef features of tlie inexhaustable ' wealth some dav to be developed- I returned with the companv by wav of Nephi, then called the Salt Creek ulcraent, or was about to be made , - e hair-breadt- h one, under ihe presidency of Elder Joseph I ley wood, Front tlieie I came to my home in Sanpete.

I remained there seven yeais and was deeply interested in all the means of wealth then so profuse! scattered in and around Nephi. Brother Jacob Bigler being called to succeed Bio. Heywood.l was again called to return to Sanpete, and by appointment to found a city on the San Bitch River, now known asMotoni City. Here I was called to preside, and under the hands of Apostle Geo. A. Smith and Bp. Warren S, Snow, 1 was set apart, for this to me another important illusion. In this double position, v iz. prest-- . dent and Bishop, 1 acted fur eighteen yeais, In the year 1S52, Mr. 1). Ham Itou and Dave Iotter, built a saw mill at, now. Mt.

The Gist chid lost bv death in Sin-pet- e, was the ch, Id of Nelson Higgins Sr. The next death was a son of Brother Shomaker, named Thecplnlus, aged eighteen years, lie requested to be baptised before he d.ed To do this, we cut a hole m the ice lit other Funk the ordinance. My son Jeiome was twenty yeais and nine months old when lie died, i le was a tluent speaker in the Indian language, he was a special favorite with them, both Indian and Whites joined 111 the procession as the corpse was conveyed This was the to the Manti cemetery. rust burial there; a modest stone marks his resting place. The fust woman that died in Manti was Sarah Petty Brown, the wife of Robert Brown. The first child born during the first winter was 111 the family ol Brother Washburn, by his Wife C Lanndia. In this liurned and perhaps impeifect sketch of some of the prominent incidents of my life. 1 may have omitted some details and also some dates, although 1 have tried to be careful 111 these details. J have omitted !? record some ot the scenes of the noted Indian War, under Chief Walker in the year 1854. From a quatiel over some . fish in Provo, the bieakmg ol a gun over the head ot an Indian named Showery Stockings, he being the aggressur, and whose skull was broke, Testified 111 the Indian A ar, causing forts to be built towns and villages to be abandoned, nulls burned and a general panic and stampede to ensue. Foi six yeais I was commander of the mili ary post at Nephi, tanking as Aiaioi. During my residence 111 Nephi, I was honoied bv my brethren with many proofs ol honor and esteem. For six jears 1 acted as Piobale Judge in Juab County.it was dining th s incumbency 1 assisted to procuie Nephris heretofore rtieiied to dinner, 1 Ins sketch would be incomplete, did I omit to mention tne heroines of this expedition. In the midst of unpaialeled privations, tile burden of childien, the scantiness of supplies, the necessity ol dri.mg teams, the linking ol Indians in lire willows through winch we stamped our way, removing wuh the axe the laiger ones. 1 am now leimnued ol one woman who drove the learn from Salt Lake to Manti holding one child in liei aims, the lines in another, while she held between her feet another scion ol this noble race f pionetr women. From her lips I learned ol her honor for herself and children as she drove over the luxuriant bottom of Canal creek, the eaitb swaying like one huge morass, fearing the wagon would sink in the yielding mass. The men were ever on the alert lot the skulking Indian, ever piesent, or 111 ambush, this anxiety was intensified bv tne anxious mothers pent up in the wagons as affording a good mark for the Indians. As the wagons were started down steep declivities, held back by strong ropes and strong arms, these brave women literally stated danger and death in the face, with all the discomforts of the positions, these women nevei murmered, while sharing a double portion o founding Manti, now a luxurious city, they nevei tailed. The purpose of this hurried sketclr impeded, is to give perhaps somewhatsome idea of the woik the youth of Zion of founding cities and homes in the 40s To rescue from oblivion some of the facts and names ol the pioneers of Sanpete Valley, the heioes of that time. Tnanks to our religion which made these hardships endurable, we enjoyed the dance, the one source of social gatherings, dimly lighted by the pine knot lire, the earth was the unwaxed Hour, the nta.deus were dressed, not m T he men were the style ol a A orth. dreased m buckskin, if lucky enough to have any, or. well and oft tepeated we weie patched, clothes, sometimes auxiliaries minus shoes, ai.d the many to a well ordeied now deemed mt 2.50 a year; $1.50 for 6 months, and $1 lor 3 months in advance.
