| Notes |
- My grandparents, John and Susan Stott were born in Soyland, Yorkshire, E n gland. My grandfather was born July 19, 1769 and his wife about 1777. T he y were baptized into the L.D.S. Church, about 1843 but never left Engl and . My father was born April 16, 1803 and my mother, Sarah Lees, Augus t 22 , 1800.
Mother died before we left, March 10, 1847 and was buried, in the Rishwo r th Chapel Ward, We left Liverpool the same summer. My father, William S to tt, my brother-in-law, his wife, my sister Hannah Lees, their child ab ou t one year old, named Sarah, my brother William Henry, my sister, Emm a an d myself, which totaled seven.
We sailed in a sail ship named "Berlin'!. When out at sea two weeks th e w ind ceased blowing and we were in a dead calm, Just at this time a di seas e struck us which was much like the Cholera and in twenty-one days , forty -three of the ships passen-gers died and were cast into the sea . The win d began to blow again and in six weeks and four days from the t ime we lef t Liver-pool we landed in New Orleans. In three days we were o n the mov e again going up the Mississippi River to Saint Louis where w e remained u ntil the next spring. My father obtained work as a mechani c for nine doll ars per week and I worked for two dollars a week.
The next spring we went up the Missouri to the state of Iowa, and locat e d about eight or ten miles south of Kanesville. Father bought two fin e co ws for $2.09 each. He also bought a fifteen-acre farm from which w e cut s ufficient wild hay to last until the next spring. Father and Will iam the n returned to St. Louis for employment, that they might get mone y enoug h to con-tinue our journey. They worked there until the spring o f 1852, a nd then returned home, in Iowa, Bringing with them two wag¬on s and five y oke of cattle and one team of horses and provisions that w e might continu e our journey. We sold our farm and left there with six y oke of cattle an d one team of horses. We crossed the river on a flat boa t a few miles bel ow the present city of Omaha, Nebraska. Where a compan y of forty wagons w as organized with a captain over the whole group an d a sub-captain over e ach ten wagons.
We were then in a wild country where we had to contend with the Indian s a nd the buffalo. We would travel from morning until in the afternoon , an d then camp early enough so we could heard our cattle and let them g e t a good feed before dark, for we would have to stake them with a shor t r ope within our circle of wagons at night, In the morning we would aga in l et them have a good feed before starting,
Shortly after we left Hyland Grove we crossed the Missouri River on a fl a t boat, The first day out from there one of the drivers did or said som et hing which displeased the captain so the captain would not let him g o wit h us and sent him back Ills wagon was with the first ten wa„:>ns o r in th e first sub-company and father's wagon was back in the third sub- compan y of ten. The captain came back and asked if I would drive this wa gon. Fa ther left it up to me and so I went and drove the wagon.
The next river we crossed was the Elk Horn and then the Lewfork, whic h w e crossed the same day, We continued our jour-ney over rough roads wh ic h the pioneers before us made and all the time we were guarding agains t I ndians and buffalo,
When we were about six or seven hundred miles on the way across the plai n s we divided into four companies--ten wagons in each company, and putti n g one day’s drive between each small company, In this way we travele d o n to Salt Lake City, and into Provo, The captain, whose name was Isaa c Bu llock, did not wish to stay in Salt Lake City, I was still driving h is te am and so went on with them and stayed with them for one week, expe ctin g my folks to come, They did not come so I returned to Salt Lake Cit y alo ne and on foot to find them. A mile or two on my way a man trottin g alon g with a light wagon and a horse team, asked me to ride with him w hic h I gladly did. We trotted along until sundown and arrived at Millcre ek o n the outskirts of Salt Lake City. A family of newly arrived immigra nts w hich was camped there asked me to stay with them over night and I d id. Af ter breakfast the next morning I resumed the task of finding my fo lks. Tr aveling on to what is now known as South Temple Street; I turne d west an d in a short distance met a man coming to the east. He stoppe d and aske d me if I was hunting my folks and I told him I was. He pointe d to the we st and said "Do you see those wagons yonder," I answered, "Ye s sir." He s aid, "You will find your folks there." I went to the wagon s and found the m just as he had said. My people knew nothing of him an d he had not bee n there. I would judge him to be a man from the spirit w orld.
In a few days we started south to a small town called Fillmore, a town 1 5 0 miles south of Salt Lake City. The next sum¬mer the Indian trouble be ga n. They began stealing cattle and killing men that were unprotected.
About this time a surveyor named Gunnison, with his party came in from t h e East. They were surveying for a railroad. They followed the main cour s e of the Sevier River down to Deseret which is a little town about for t y miles west of Fillmore. A short distance up the river from Deseret w a s a company of soldiers. These soldiers were under a captain named Morr is . Ten of these soldiers went with this surveying party as guards.
This party made their camp in the edge of some thick willows. At night t h e Indians came upon them silently and crawled up as close to the cam p a s they could without being heard. The soldiers and surveyors cooked b reak fast just at daylight and were all around the table eating when th e India ns broke in on them yelling and hooting and shooting at them wit h a few g uns which they owned and also their bows and arrows.
They took the party so much by surprise that they were confused and di d n ot know what to do. Their guns were not right at hand and consequentl y th e party was all killed excepting one man. He made his way back to Mo rris' s camp and told of the disaster which had come to these men. Morris , wit h his soldiers, went down next day and about night found their rema ins. H e was afraid to go back in the night for fear of Indians. Conseque ntly th ey stayed there all night and at day break started back to camp . Commande r Morris sent a rider to Salt Lake City to tell the Governor , Brigham You ng. Young then sent a message to Fillmore to Henry Standage , the captai n of the Militia, who in turn called a party of men to go t o the scene o f the massacre and gather up their remains and bury them . I was one of th e company called. Morris sent the soldiers with the com pany. He took me b y the hand and said "Good-by" for he never expected t o see me again. So w e went to the scene of the massacre and were immedia tely surrounded by th e Indians. They were armed with guns and bows and a rrows, ready for fight . We were also well armed. The Indians circled aro und us yelling and runn ing. This continued for a short time and then the y left us, very likely t hinking that our chances were about as great a s theirs. We continued gath ering up the remains and burying them.
We then turned our attention to farming but the Indian troubles grew gre a ter. All were stealing cattle and horses and were killing men at ever y op portunity. This condition lasted from 1854 until about 1864 when th e Indi an war chiefs began to die off and peace came at last.
At this time I met Sarah Jane Holder and we were married in 1863. She w a s born in Crofton, Wakefield, England, in 1846. Her folks, who left Eng la nd with her, were practically all killed by the terrible sickness call e d "mountain fever". The re¬mainder who stayed in England was frightene d b y this calamity; therefore they never came over to this country.
In 1864, I was called to go back to the Missouri River after Mormon immi g rants. Our company was composed of sixty wagons with eight heed of oxe n t o the wagon which made a total of four hundred eighty head of cattl e in t he company, My calling in the company with three others was the ni ght her ding of these cattle. It was a hard task and I slept but very lit tle nigh t or day for six weeks. It was also a year of unusual high water . Every c reek and river was flooded. We had to swim our cattle and wagon s in cross ing the South Platt River. When we were on our journey about s ix hundre d miles, we came to a sec¬tion of country of much rain at tha t season o f the year, We had rain and thunder storms every night for tw o weeks or m ore, We journeyed on and finally reached the Missouri River . The Mormon i mmigrates was there ready to be loaded.. We started back f or Utah but: th e Indiana were very troublesome. A small company of thre e wagons four mul es to each wagon bound for Oregon, traveled with us unt il we passed For t Leavenworth, then they left us as we were traveling to o slow for them . But in two days we came upon the place where the Indian s had killed the m all and set fire to their wagons and stolen their mule s. At this time t he country was being settled to some extent. Men were c oming out and taki ng up ranches and building homes. Indians were killin g them and setting f ire to their homes and stealing their belonging. A s we were traveling alo ng at night we could see the homes burning on th e horizon. About five hun dred and forty miles on our journey we camped a bout one half mile from so me freighters, forty wagons in all. They had b een to Denver, Colorado, wi th their loads and were on their way back. I n the night we heard yellin g and shooting. Presently we saw the fire sta rt burning. The Indians ha d set fire to all the wag¬ons and driven thei r cattle away and killed al l the men.
As night herders we had many narrow escapes from the Indians. But the bl e ssings of the Lord were upon us and we landed home in safety.
In 1865,I moved from Fillmore to Meadow, which is eight miles south. He r e I took up a farm and began farming and dairying.

CONTINUED BY HIS DAUGHTER -- M. E. S. BECKSTRAND
After arriving in Meadow, father was allotted twenty acres of farm lan d . Later, when he took up a larger farm of 160 acres for himself, the or ig inal 20 acres was taken from him.
When he came there were no streets except the main highway through tow n . My parents lived with Uncle William Stott's family in Fillmore unti l th ey got their own home built. I was born in Fillmore and my sister, S adie , was born in a log room which father erected as his first home in M eadow . Later in the same lot he erected an adobe house which is still st andin g on the corner west of Main Street and south of Center Street. Her e tw o of my brothers, Edwin and Raymond were born,
The old Meadow Creek followed the course of the Old Hollow until it reac h ed the lot where stands the home of Elizabeth Stewart and from there t h e stream turned southwest and well do I remember it flowing past my gra nd father's house, (where the Howard Bushnell home now stands.)
The men started working on roads to the canyons to get timber out fo r a s chool house. In 1867 one log room was com-pleted on the present Tit hing-y ard lot. Father was one of the first school teachers in Meadow, Lo gs wer e split and turned to use the flat part for the seat of the bench , then m aple pegs were driven in for legs and there were no back rests . Two year s later another room was added to the schoolhouse. This hous e was used fo r all ward activities. In the summertime loads of green bru sh were brough t down from the mountains and made into a bowery on the no rth side of th e building and here the dances were held.
