disease which was very much like typhoid. One night, Mother had sponged me off and fixed my bed on the spring seat of the wagon when an Indian squaw came up to me, placed her hand on my stomach and said, "seek, seek." The squaw left and returned with a weed and gave mother instructions to make a tea of the leaves and place the leaves upon my stomach. I began to recover immediately. We arrived in Salt Lake in September, 1869.1 remember at this time the first train engine to come through and the crowds that gathered for miles around. From Salt Lake we went to Coalville for a few weeks before returning to our home in Peterson. John Boyden was called on a mission to England and I returned to Coalville to stay with his wife and family. I remained in Coalville four years returning then to Peterson. (John Boyden was her father's son, by his first wife, Sarah Corns.) I went to Ogden to learn to sew. Returning, I sewed for various people in Peterson. Father died in 1888 at Peterson. I was married to Frank Whittier of Milton, June 28,1893, in the Salt Lake Temple, the year the temple Morgan Pioneer History Rinds Us Together was dedicated. We came to Peterson and took up father's farm, where we remained to rear our family. My husband was active in civic affairs, serving on the Bishopric of the Peterson Ward. Eight years after our marriage, my husband died of typhoid fever leaving me with three boys, the oldest, Charles, was six years old; my daughter, Mary, being born five months after her father died. (The other two sons were Frank and Robert.) I remained at Peterson on the farm with my family and mother, leasing the farm until the boys were old enough to farm. Mother died in 1904.1 went to Logan with my family during the school year 1912- 13 while my boys attended the Agricultural College. I intended to stay until the boys completed their college course but was forced to return after one year on account of illness. I worked as counselor in the first Primary organized in Coalville. I was president of the Peterson Relief Society ten years. I am a charter member of the Daughters of the Pioneers of Peterson, the Alice Whittier Camp being named in my honor. (Sarah Alice died December 9,1932.) ©9- Daniel Williams In the fall of 1861, there came to Morgan County, a man named Daniel Williams. He had left his home in Monmouthshire, Wales, the previous year and with his wife and five small children had ventured into this new land following his adopted faith. At Scranton, Pennsylvania, he had suffered the loss of his wife, Eliza Ames Williams, and shortly thereafter had proceeded westward with a younger sister in charge of the little motherless family. Perhaps it was the dire necessity of caring for so many which drove him with relentless ambition. Upon his arrival in the valley he took up squatters claim on the site which later became Morgan City. He was the first settler north of the Weber River. The family lived in a dug-out shelter in the hillside for a short time, enduring severe hardship from cold and lack of food and clothing. During this time, the father Daniel, began clearing his land, preparatory to farming. Also, in these first months, he found time to court and marry Harriet Thurston, one of the first school teachers in the county, again providing his family with a very fine mother. Fortune smiled on Daniel and his affairs, when, early in his venture, he discovered a good deposit of lime rock on his property and with an eye for business, constructed a kiln to process it. He undoubtedly realized considerable profit from the sale of lime and in a short time built a large, two Story lime and concrete building which became his home and a further source of livelihood. (Remnants of this original kiln can still be seen near the freeway exit from Henefer behind the Hitching Post Cafe.) There is some question as to the date of this building, but 1865-67 would be approximately right. The northwest end of the lower story was a tavern. Daniel J. William
