and traveled on the next morning. We arrived in Salt Lake City on September 25,1855. It had taken eighty- seven days to cross the plains. "A brass band welcomed us and we marched behind it into the city. We went to the Union Square, a camp ground. It was Sunday. In the afternoon we all went to the meeting and heard President Brigham Young and Heber C. Kimball preach. They directed all their talk to the newcomers and blessed us and encouraged us all they could." The Salt Lake Valley had been settled only seven years when they arrived. Upon their arrival they stayed in Salt Lake City one year, "living in a dugout without a floor." The family was extremely poor. Most all of their money had been used to afford transportation to Utah. On one occasion James sent his children John and Ann to Heber C. Kimball's home for some flour. He gave them some in a sack and when they returned home with the flour, everyone was so happy they all joined hands and danced around the sack. They moved with the Saints from place to place as James was called upon. In April of 1862, they moved to East Weber (Morgan City), Utah, at the suggestion of Brigham Young. Their first home consisted of a little one-room log cabin. For extra space, a wagon cover was stretched over some poles that leaned with one end on a fence and the other end on the ground. This cabin belonged to John Arthurs. Later, James hired a man for $3.00 to help build a home. On November 18, 1863, James (age forty-two) took a young woman, Maria Dallimore, (age sixteen) in a polygamous marriage. One year later, on November 23, 1864, a son was born. They named Morgan Pioneer History Binds Us Together him William Albion Worlton. Maria had also come from Bath, England. Maria worked in the potato field adjacent to the Union Pacific Railroad and, while working in the field, was noticed by a Mr. George Roberts. He worked for the railroad and disapproved of her working so hard. Maria married Mr. Roberts and moved to Henefer, Utah some thirty miles or so up the canyon from Morgan. It is reported that she never saw her son again as he was raised by Elizabeth and his father. James lived the last twenty years of his life in Morgan where he farmed. He also owned a small shoe shop where he made leather vests, leggings and covered saddles. He had his own tannery and tanned all the leather he used. Later, he and James Tucker, and James Stuart of South Morgan went into business together to make and repair shoes. When the Morgan Co-op was opened, they went in with them. Their place of business was called the Co-op Shoe Store, Here he worked as long as his health permitted. He remained active in the L.D.S. Church. He served as a Sunday School teacher and later the Superintendent of the Sunday School for many years. He also belonged to the 35th Quorum of Seventies. He was later set apart as one of the seven presidents of the Quorum. Two years before his death he wrote a will leaving the sum of $10.00 to each of his children. He died on February 6, 1885, at the age of sixty-four. His wife Elizabeth stayed on in Morgan with her "adopted" son, William, while he ran the farm. She died on March 10,1901, and was laid to rest beside her husband in the Morgan Cemetery. L.D.S. Sunday School in Morgan, Utah, circa 1910-1912.
