should be in need. They came from Ogden and we were very glad to meet them because we were running out of food, and there was still further pleasure in meeting them because they were old friends that had left Rotheram for the Valley the same time that we didi, but had got through here first We finally reached Ogden all tired out by the long tedious journey. How that we had reached our future home, we set to work at once to earn the means to make that home. All we had to start with was a wagon and a yoke of oxen, and what little clothing we had left.
