returning the third time for his cattle and wagon. Every night my father had cooking to do over the camp fire, and took his turn standing guard. They arrived in Salt Lake City in September, 1853. My father said he arrived in the valley with an old wagon, two faithful oxen, a sick loving wife, two sick children, three biscuits, and a penny. But very thankful that they had been spared to enter the valley alive and not left along on the plains for the wolves, perhaps to devour. The first morning after their arrival, the baby died, and three days later, the boy passed away, and Mother was sick for fifteen months after their arrival. She was taken care of by a faithful sister, Penelope Goodridge. They moved to Ogden City in 1855. While there, my sister, Sarah Ann Bertoch, was born in 1858. They were living in Riverdale in a dugout. While living there, my brother, Alma Pascoe, was born, who lost his life while preaching the gospel in the Southern States. While living there, bread was very scarce, but pig weeds were plentiful and were cooked three times daily. Some of the people were without flour, but mother was a believer in economy and would cook six small cakes for each meal and prolonged her flour until better times. Many a time my mother has walked from Riverdale into Ogden, sometimes carrying both of the children and wash all day for Loren Farr's family, getting her dinner and sometimes a loaf of bread or piece of meat to take home with her. They moved to Morgan in the spring of 1860 and for a time farmed on shares for Col. J.C. Little. While living there, one more little girl was bom to them. My father took up a farm in Littleton and afterwards Morgan Pioneer History Binds Us Together purchased it from the Union Pacific Railroad Company. He built a log house with a dirt roof, and when the storms came, it ran down the walls and caked nearly all over. My mother did her own sewing, knitting, spinning, made all her soap and candles, would gather hops and sell or trade for something, raised lots of geese, ducks and chickens. My father cut the hay with a scythe and mother raked it. The grain was cut with the cradle and mother raked it into bundles and assisted in binding it. She worked shoulder to shoulder with my father in the field, helped milk the cows; all the fruit she had for her family was dried wild currants and service berries. During the summer months, there was no sale for butter. My mother made cheese and when curd, it was cut into pieces and pounded into a jar and sold readily during the construction of the Union Pacific Railroad. This was called potted cheese. My father kept a bunch of sheep. The wool was washed and picked by hand and done mostly by my mother's hand. Such was pioneer life in Morgan. Many a time she had traveled to Salt Lake City in a lumber wagon with a board for a seat and drawn by an oxen team, taking their wool and dried hops or whatever they had to trade for something else. In the course of years, they discarded the log house and built a comfortable home where for a few years, she enjoyed herself. She was a sociable person and loved to visit among her friends and receive them in return. At the age of sixty, her health failed and she was an invalid for ten years. She had to be assisted from the bed to a chair. She was a devoted wife, a loving mother, and a faithful Latter-day Saint. She died in June 1896. ©9 Robert Park Richardson and Elizabeth Robson Richardson Robert Park Richardson, son of Robert Richardson and Upion Stevenson Richardson, was born on December 24, 1822, in Northumberland, England. During his youth he was taught the trade of bricklaying and masonry. He married Elizabeth Robson, daughter of Thomas Robson and Ann Paley Robson. Together they left Liverpool for America on April 22, 1861, on the ship Undenvriter. Mr. Roberts was the captain and Homer Duncan was the president of their company. They were six weeks on the ocean arriving at New York City in June 1861. They continued their journey to Florence, Nebraska, where they remained for one month. At this time they started for Utah in Milo Andrews' Company. When about half way to Utah, they joined Homer Duncan's Company and arrived in Salt Lake City, Utah, on September 13,1861. They came to Morgan in February 1862. They lived in Morgan for quite a number of years, then moved to Bear Lake for a short time. Later they came back to Ogden where Mr. Richardson labored at his adopted commonwealth.
