to California. His pay was stolen from him, then after he had earned enough money to take back to Utah, he became ill and spent his funds for medicine and doctors. On the third try, he made it. On 7 October 1851, he married Alice Stowell. In june of 1853 William married as his second wife, Alice's sister, Juliette. Juliette was mother of Mary Rhoby Perry, the eldest of 10 children and author of the Indian story. Juliette was born, 19 November 1835, in Westfield, New York. Her parents were Oliver A. and Mary Holmes Stowell. The two Perry families suffered through the 'grasshopper war' and William Howard was called to travel east and assist an emigrant train across the plains. Later, along with several others, he was called by the Church to the Salmon River Mission in Idaho. This must have been before 1960, but there is no date available. He took his wife, Alice, and her two children with him, leaving Juliette and two children with her parents. When Johnston's Army threatened the peace of the Saints in Utah the families were called to return to the Great Salt Lake Valley. Mary Rhoby Perry tells the story of the Indian war she watched while living in Huntsville: "It was during the first summer we lived in Huntsville and I was about nine years old when I saw the Indian battle. One day a band of Shoshoni Indians came from the south, apparently from Weber Valley (Mountain Green area), and camped on the south side of the River." Mary goes on to describe the battle between the Shoshonis and a band of Cheyennes who also traveled from the south. The battle raged with the Indians using guns, but mostly spears and tomahawks. It ended with the death of the Cheyenne Chief, who was mounted on a fine horse and had a war bonnet that was fully five feet long. Mary grew to womanhood and married Edward Jessop, 17 November 1871. They were parents of ten children, including a set of twins. The first three children were, born in Lynne (Five Points) and the family is presumed to have then moved to Mount¬ain Green. The next three children were born in Huntsville where William Edward raised livestock. In 1868 William sold his Huntsville farm and filed in a homestead near Millville in Cache County. Here four children were born. William Howard Perry died, 5 December 1904, in Vernal, Utah. Juliette Stowell Perry died, 16 July 1931, in Vernal, Mary Rhoby Perry, author of the Indian story, died, 9 March 1926, in Ogden. 139
