Sylvester's land holdings to which he acquired title from his brother, Steven lay south of Mill Creek and below the road west of his home. The log house by the creek on this area in the old home of William Perry, the younger of his two sons. Proceeding east from Mr. Perry's home, the home of the Casey family, early arrivals to settle here, was located on the bank of Mill Creek east of the corner by Val Lowther's. The old home, as the writer remembers before it was torn down, was rather a long adobe building with the entrance facing south, and a porch extending full length along the south side. Mrs. Casey, one of those faithful, good, old, Latter-Day Saint mothers was a leader in Relief Society and other Church organizations in the Ward. Lot Darney, a pioneer of 1857 settled with his family on a small farm on which the home of Amelia Holley is located. Mr. Darney built the older part of Mrs. Holley's home in which he reared his family. (See Fig. 3-30). Members of this family like those of most of the early settlers, were dyed in the faith and engaged energetically in religious and ward activities. Hannah, mother of the first family of Mr. Darney, contributed much to the advancement of the Relief Society and other church organizations. Katherine (Kitty) the second wife of the old gentleman and her family were likewise faithful Church workers. The mother was an influencial leader and held such important positions as president for many years of the Y.W.M.I.A.a worker in Relief Society, religion class and teacher in other organizations. In the distribution of the Darney estate after the old gentleman's death, his land holdings were finally purchased by three individuals: Arch Stanger, William Marriott of Marriott Settlement, and John Robert Ekins of Slaterville. Mr. Ekins, son of John Ekins, Sr. and son-in-law to Thomas Casey, lived in the house now occupied by the Storrer family located in the southwest corner of the farm that formally belonged to Mr. Casey at 300 N. 2400 W. South of the Darney home and at the west end of the road leading into Marriott settlement, the old home of George Stanger which now belongs to George Amidan is located. (See Fig. 3-31). Mr. Stanger, a faithful, devout Saint arrived with the early settlers and located with his family on this spot. He lived at first in small cabin which was replaced in later years by the brick home now belonging to Mr. Amidan. John Hudman, a pioneer of 1856, lived at the south end of the road dividing our settlement. (See Fig. 3-32). He acquired title to a sizable farm at this location from Steven W. Perry, to which in later years, his two sons, Alvin and Heber became co-owners with him. The low roomy adobe house the family lived in stood a little below and north of his son, Heber's house, the present home of Albert Cowan. (See Fig. 3-33). Alvin, the older son, built and lived in the house which is the present home of the Gallup family. (See Fig. 3-34). Mr. Hudman and sons noted for the neat appearance of home surroundings, were among the most successful farmers in the community and were faithful Church members particularly the old Gentleman and Alvin. Turning to the south section of the west half of Slaterville, the first home was that belonging to Alfred Stevens located north of the road leading west from Mr. Hudman's place.
