Morgan Pioneer History Binds Us Together His outfit in crossing the plains consisted of a wagon, three oxen and a cow. After reaching Salt Lake City, they lived in the Old Fort for some time, after which they took up their abode in the first house build in the Fifteenth ward, between Third and Fourth West on Third Street. Both he and his wife sang in a choir and he played in both Captain Pitt's and Ballo's bands. Every week he and his family went to the dance in the Ballo Hall, in which he owned a share. He was Brigham Young's gunsmith and built the first gunsmith shop on Main Street where the old Constitution Building now stands. This gunsmith shop was the rendezvous for the red men of this in- termountain country and gained him many friends among them. They even paid him visits after he moved to Morgan. In 1860 he with others were called to settle in the Weber Valley by President Brigham Young. He took up several areas of land and engaged in cattle and sheep raising at which he was quite successful. During the building of the Union Pacific railroad, he sold livestock and hay to the commissary department, receiving as high as $100.00 per ton for the hay. The first house he built was on his farm on East Canyon Creek, just across the creek east of Littleton. This was a large one-room log house with a large stone fireplace at one end. The first door was a buffalo robe hung over the entrance. Daniel Bull held many positions of trust in Morgan having been both a city councilman and school trustee. On August 30,1878, he was chosen first councilor to the president of the high priest's quorum. When the United Order was established in Morgan County, he was one of the first to join. He was one of the founders of the Z.C.M.I. of Morgan, and continued as director and treasurer until his death on November 11,1885. The day of his funeral, the brass band, of which he was captain, came to the house and escorted the funeral cortege to the meeting house and cemetery playing the funeral march. Grandfather Bull was a deeply religious man and very sympathetic towards those in distress. President Fry once said of him to my cousin, Mrs. Eliza B. Smith, "No one but he and I know of the vast amount of money he gave to the poor." He was cheerful and jovial and had a great love in his heart for little children. Sister Harriet Nash Welch once said of him, "No one knew how to cheer one up more than he," and that when she was sick and downhearted she always sent for Brother Bull to come and administer to her. That through his administration and his cheery words, he always left her feeling much better. He possessed the gift of healing and was always glad to exercise his faith in behalf of those afflicted. His love for the Gospel was so intense that nothing but sickness could keep him from the line of his duty. At one time his shoes had given completely out and it was Sunday; but instead of staying away from the meeting, he washed his feet nice and clean and went in his bare feet. The next day a man came with two pair of shoes and offered them to him if he would mend his gun. Grandfather Bull had his trials. His sister Sarah Bull Round died on the way from New Orleans in 1850 and left a husband and several children. One of these children, Jane, was cared for by him from the time she was seven until she married. His mother, Sarah Bullock, died in the summer of 1850 on her way to join her son in Utah and lies buried in Nebraska. Two of his babies, Joseph and Eliza, lie buried in unknown graves in Quincy, Illinois, and one, Winona Jane, on the banks of the Sweetwater in Wyoming. One little boy, Daniel, lies in the old cemetery at Salt Lake City. His remaining son, Charles, died while still a young man, leaving a widow and seven small daughters to be cared for. These he took to his heart as though they were his own children and cared for them tenderly. Grandfather Bull lies buried in the old section of the cemetery at Morgan looking toward the city which he strove so hard to make prosperous. ©19 • :&gt
