      This is the complex story of the involvement of the Campbell family with a new religion, The Church of
      Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the Campbell’s struggle for survival that came with it. Therefore, to
      help readers understand what was taking place in the Campbell’s family life, regardless of their location,
      some related Church History and United States History has been included.
      1825, Aug 29, Solomon Leonard Campbell was born at Hornby, Steuben, New York, being the second 1
      son and third child of Benoni & Mary Leonard Campbell . Solomon was welcomed by an older sister 2
      Elizabeth, and a brother Matthew. His paternal grandparents being Jonathan & Phoebe Eunice Button
      Campbell, while his maternal grandparents were Solomon & Hulda Hodge/Orcutt Leonard.

      2 males ages 5-10 (Soloman & Matthew)
      1 male 30-40 (Benoni)
      1 female 5-10 (Elizabeth)
      1 female 25-30 (Mary)
      1830 Mar 26, The first printing of the Book of Mormon became available and missionaries traveling in
      pairs, met with the Campbell family who accepted the revealed Word of God in the newly formed Church
      of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
      1832 Father Benoni believed the Book of Mormon and joined the “Mormon” Church of Jesus Christ of
      Latter-day Saints, at the same time as Solomon’s grandparents, Jonathan & Phoebe Campbell. Newly
      converted Saints were asked to gather at Ohio.
      1833 The Campbell family moved to Kirtland, Ohio where the Saints were gathering. Peace and harmony
      around Kirtland lasted until the Lord told the Saints to build a temple.
      1833 July 23, The foundations stone for a temple was laid at Kirtland, and the interesting life of peace
      gradually disappeared. Father Benoni was a carpenter along with Solomon’s uncle William and together
      they labored to help build the temple. As a 8 year old boy, Solomon also could have helped by picking up
      small rocks, taking drinks to the workers, carrying for the horses and other various chores.
      1834 May 8, The Prophet, Joseph Smith left Kirtland, Ohio for Missouri, as the leader of Zions’s Camp
      to bring relief to Saints expelled from Jackson County, Missouri who were being severely persecuted
      because of their religious beliefs.
      1835 Aug 17, At a special conference held at Kirtland, Ohio, The Doctrine & Covenants, as a standard
      work of the Church, was approved.
      1835 Nov. Plastering on the Kirtland temple began.

      1836 Mar 27 , A great day for the Saints and surely the Campbell family as the Kirtland, Ohio temple was th
      dedicated. A wonderful event happened when the Savior appeared within the Kirtland Temple, 3 Apr 1836
      to accept it! However, peace did not last for very long, and soon they found themselves enduring
      hardships, privations, persecutions, mobbing, and finally, expulsion from Ohio, it was anything but easy for
      the Church or family.
      1837 July 19, Heber C Kimball and six others arrived in Liverpool, England on the first overseas mission
      where many would believe the teachings and join the church, immigrate to Zion in the USA.
      1838 Jan 16 , When bitter persecutions forced the prophet, Joseph Smith, to leave Kirtland, Benoni’s th
      family left for safety as they moved to Homer, Medina, Ohio, next to Benoni’s younger brother Joel, where
      it has been said they lived for one year before moving to either Commerce, Illinois or Holt county.
      1838 Oct Persecutions and battles escalated in Missouri against the Saints, mobs burned houses and crops,
      rustled cattle, detained prisoners and threatened the Saints with death. Governor Boggs refused to go to
      the area and see for himself, instead he ordered his militia to war, relying solely upon false reports of a
      Mormon insurrection. Therefore he stated, “The Mormons must be treated as enemies and must be
      exterminated or driven from the state, if necessary for the public good. Their outrages are beyond all
      description.” issuing an extermination order on 27 Oct 1838. This gave the mobs power to destroy, 4
      which they started just 3 days later.
      1838 Oct 30, A mob of 240 men descended upon the 20-30 families at Haun’s Mill, just 12 miles east of
      Farr West, who had not followed the council of Joseph Smith to leave their homes due to violence in the
      area. Those Saints who did not escape or hide in the hills were randomly shot, murdered, hacked to pieces,
      at least 17 were murdered, and many wounded. News spread sorrow and terror to the remaining Saints
      with the news of the Haun’s Mill Massacre.
      1838 Oct 31 The arrest and imprisonment of Joseph Smith in the Liberty Jail in Missouri, encouraged over
      8,000 Saints to cross from Missouri east into Quincy, Illinois in the cold fall months to escape the
      extermination order issued by Governor Boggs against any “Mormon” .5
      1839 Apr The Saints needed a safe place to gather as they were being forced from their homes. The arrival
      of Joseph Smith at Quincy, Illinois on April 22, 1839, from his imprisonment in Missouri, was a signal for
      action. Two days after Joseph’s arrival, he called a Council of the Church at which time Joseph Smith,
      Bishop Vinson Knight, and Alonzo Ripley were appointed to go to Iowa to select a place for the gathering
      of the exiled people. The Church Committee spent several days looking at different locations in Lee County,
      Iowa, and around Commerce, Hancock County, Illinois. 6
      By May the committee purchased 135 acres for $5,000 and in addition, a large farm for $9,000
      dollars in Commerce, Illinois for the Saints to build and dwell upon and give them a place to gather. 7
      Commerce was literally a wilderness; land mostly covered with trees and bushes, much of it so wet that it
      was impossible for teams to work. 8

      The first homes in Nauvoo were huts, tents and a few abandoned buildings. By June the first log
      house was built by the Saints and as time and capital allowed, frame homes were erected and later still, brick
      homes were built as the Saints continued to arrive and prosper. In five years they transformed a stretch
      of high prairie and wooded bluffs, a malarial river bottom swamp, and a fever and ague hamlet called
      Commerce, into the city of Zion, becoming the largest town in all of Illinois at that time. 9
      1840 Apr 21, The postmaster general of the US changed the name of Commerce, to Nauvoo, which now
      contained 250 houses and was increasing in population daily. 10
      (The 1840 census cannot be found for Benoni’s family in any of the eastern states).
      1841 Jan 15 , The First Presidency of the Church invited ‘the wealthy to remove to Nauvoo and....establish th
      and ...cultivate farms, that a permanent inheritance might be secured...for the gathering of the poor’.
      1841 April 6, The corner stones were laid for the Nauvoo
      Temple which when completed would cost the struggling Saints
      $1,000,000.
      1841 July The Saints continued to gather and many homes
      graced the city. Life was hard for the Saints as persecutions
      increased, regardless of where the Saints lived at the time.
      1844 Spring, Plans for colonizing in the West were initiated, an
      exploring party was organized to hunt out a good location
      somewhere in the mountains where the Saints could live their
      religion without persecution.
      1844 June 18, Due to persecution, Joseph Smith placed Nauvoo
      under Martial law
      1844 June 22, Governor Ford insisted Joseph and Hyrum Smith
      go to Carthage to answer false charges against them.
      1844 June 27 , Joseph Smith and his brother, Hyrum Smith were th
      martyred/assassinated while in the Carthage Jail at Carthage,
      Illinois, by a mob of about 200 men with darkened faces. 11
      Troubles immediately increased for the ‘Saints’ with
      Joseph’s death. The Saints prepared to leave their beloved city,
      trying to sell their homes and land. Valuable farms, beautiful
      homes were exchanged at great sacrifice for wagons, horses and
      cattle. Tents, wagon covers made out of anything fabric they happened to have. Iron brought into Nauvoo
      kept the blacksmiths working day and night. Life was in a turmoil, always fear dwelling in their hearts,
      along with love for the Lord, struggling to survive.
      1845 Oct. 1 The Saints were told to prepare for an exodus to the west, at General conference which was
      held in the partially finished Temple.12

      1846 Feb 2 , With persecution, threats and evidence the Illinois state militia intended to prevent the Saints nd
      from going West, the 12 Apostles agreed that it was imperative to start west immediately, and thus it began.
      1846, Feb 4, In the bitter cold of winter...evacuation of the city of Nauvoo, started as the first covered
      wagons crossed the Mississippi River on flatbeds or ferries, under the leadership of President Brigham
      Young. The Saints had to leave in such a hurry that they were not fully prepared, having little food, no
      homes but a wagon or tent, a very difficult time as they struggled to gather for safety, help each other and
      to survive.
      1846 Feb 14-19, It snowed 8 inches. Then one morning it was 12 degrees below zero and the Mississippi
      River froze over, making the Saints crossing quicker and easier as the teams and wagons could cross the
      frozen river into Missouri. Saints were only partially prepared for their hasty departure as they crossed
      the Mississippi River with fear and faith as they knew not where they were going. Many had no shelter,
      some only had tents and some of those were blown down by the northwest wind.
      1846 Apr 24, The Brigham Young vanguard company’s went 144 Miles west of Nauvoo and 122 miles
      east of Missouri River and helped make a permanent camp at Garden Grove, Iowa. To the pioneer,
      Garden Grove was like a haven in the wilderness. There the saints cleared 300 acres of land, planted crops,
      built log homes and cut rails for fencing, people worked together for the good of all, which would help
      other Saints who would be coming later. 13
      1846 Parley Pratt and a group of men went looking for the next permanent camp for the saints. Crossing
      a branch of the Grand River, using nothing but a compass, his exploring group rode through large and fertile
      prairies, land with groves of trees, uninhabited and wild. Crossing small streams daily, while some streams
      the group had to bridge due to overflowing caused by rain. Several days passed before Parley Pratt took
      his horse and rode off by himself, trying to find one of the main branches of the Grand River which they had
      expected to find for some time. After 3-4 miles of beautiful prairie he found tree groves, good timber
      country on rounded and sloping hills, several deer and wolves, bounded into the groves. To the west he
      could see a main branch of the Grand River. “This is Mount Pisgah!” he exclaimed. He returned to camp,
      with the report that he had found the long-sought river branch. Soon the group was camped in the beautiful
      groves of trees, where they awaited the arrival of the President and council. Mt. Pisgah was located on a
      branch of the Grand River on lands claimed by the Pottawattamie Indians, who were friendly with the
      pioneers. 14
      1846 May 27, The day the vanguard company of pioneers left Garden Grove, led by Brigham Young, word
      came that the United States was at war with Mexico.
      1846 June 1-26 The arrival of the United States troops caused panic among the Saints, when Captain
      James Allen arrived with three dragoons at Mt. Pisgah. After Capt. Allen visited with Pres. Young and
      explained what was needed with the US at War. It was at Mt. Pisgah & Council Bluffs where the recruiting
      sergeant soon raised four companies between July 13-14th, which came to nearly 600 souls. Solomon’s
      brother Samuel, just 2 years younger and his uncle, Jonathan, answered the call for five hundred volunteers
      to join the United States Forces in the war against Mexico, they belonged to Company ‘E’. This group
      became known as the Mormon Battalion. It was difficult for these men to leave their families behind,
      hoping that they would be cared for by others in their absence.

      1846 When the Campbell family arrived at Mt. Pisgah, the family was assigned to stay and grow crops
      for the coming Saints. Solomon was a resident at Mount Pisgah in LDS Church Branch Records (see footnote
      1).
      1846 Sep.15, Any Mormons left in Nauvoo began the last desperate exodus. Winter Quarters was
      established, at Florence, Nebraska as a place for the expelled Saints to gather. Located on the west side
      of the Missouri River, the temporary settlement was laid out by the people. Many built log houses covered
      with dirt and willows. Others dug caves in the side of a hill making relatively comfortable dwelling places.
      A grist mill would be build, also a council house in which to hold meetings. 15
      1846 Sep 17, All the ‘Poor’ Saints in Nauvoo had been removed, the city left to the mobs.
      1847-1850 Family states that the Campbell family worked in Council Bluffs (Kanesville, Pottawattamie,
      Iowa) and Holt Co, Missouri for four years to earn sufficient funds to take them on the westward journey
      with the Saints to SLC. Council Bluffs evolved from the council held Aug 3, 1804 between Lewis & Clark
      and the Oto and Winnebago Indians, and the bluffs that line the Missouri River in that location. 16
      1847 Apr 17 , The 1 Pioneer company left with Brigham Young from Winter Quarters, comprised of 148 th st
      people. They followed the north bank of the Platte Rivers on a trail first made by the Indians and used by
      explorers and trappers. The land was flat, having a few scattered farms along the way. The trail always
      dusty in good weather, turned to mud and muck whenever it rained. When they had traveled about 525
      miles, they arrived at Fort Laramie where the trail crossed to the South side of the North Platte River.
      There they followed the Oregon Trail to where the North Platte and the Sweetwater Rivers met - today
      Casper, Wyoming. They continued along the Sweetwater to the Continental Divide at South Pass, followed
      various small rivers for about one hundred miles to Fort Bridger, a distance of another 400 miles. At Fort
      Bridger they left the Oregon Trail after finding the barely visible Donner trail of 1846 they followed that.
      It led through Echo and East canyons, over the Big Mountain, on down Emigration Canyon and into the
      Great Salt Lake basin, the most difficult part of their entire journey.17
      1847 July 24 The pioneer trek from the Missouri River ended when Brigham Young entered the Salt Lake
      Valley. During the remainder of the year, ‘Ten Pioneer companies would cross the plains for a total of
      2,095 people coming to Utah’ . 18
      1847 Oct. 11-16, Returning Battalion men arrived in Salt Lake and here the Campbell’s liked what they saw
      in Weber area and planned to return with their families. Thus the Campbell’s, uncle Jonathan, siblings
      Solomon & Samuel would play an important role in the settling of North Ogden, Weber, Utah.
      The two Campbell Battalion Members returning East, found life had changed for them. Solomon’s
      uncle Jonathan Campbell, found that his wife, Charity, had died at Winter Quarters, his new daughter
      Charity, who was born just after he left, had also died. A daughter, Emma, who was 8 yrs old was taken
      in by the Philip Klingensmith family, while his 2 older children Aboil and Nephi were in other’s care.

      Samuel Joseph Campbell, single, stayed at Utah or returned in an unidentified company in 1848
      where he met Clarissa Rebecca Frances Hall. 19
      1847-1849 Either way, the two Campbell relatives: Jonathan and Samuel returned to the Weber area and
      set up tents and dreamed of building a settlement there.
      During these beginning years, the Shoshone Indian trouble increased through the killing of an Indian
      by a white man. The Indians in turn killed a mill wright employee on Farr’s Mill in Ogden. The Indians
      spirit of revenge ran so high that the new settlers were forced to retreat into Buenaventura Fort, later
      known as Brown’s Fort (until 1851).
      1848 Oct 9, The Saints were heart broken when they received word that the interior of the Nauvoo Temple
      was burned by an arsonist , all their sacrifices destroyed. 20
      Back in Missouri, prior and during this time, Solomon courted his cousin, Lavinia Campbell -
      daughter of Joel and Mercy Miranda (Hill) Campbell. He succeeded and won her heart.
      1848 Dec 13, State of Missouri, County of Holt, I David E. Holman a Justice of the Peace of the
      County aforesaid did on the 13th day of December 1848 join together in marriage Solomon L. Campbell
      and Lovina Campbell Dec. 23, 1848. David B. Holman J.P.
      21 22
      The new bride, Lovina Campbell, was born 26 June 1828, in the small community at Tioga County,
      N.Y., being the daughter of Joel Campbell and Mercy Miranda Hill. We know little of her early 23
      childhood. Her family had accepted the gospel of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and
      joined the Saints in Harrisville, near Kirtland, Ohio, in 1836. Lovina saw and heard the Prophet Joseph
      preach in the Kirtland Temple. She received a testimony of the Prophet Joseph Smith and the Book of
      Mormon that stayed with her throughout her lifetime.
      1849/50 Jan 16, It has been said that Solomon & Lovina remained for some time in Holt Co./Orange,
      Missouri until their first child, a son, Joel was born. (Wm Garrad says Joel was born in Orange Co Missouri
      ) . 24 25
      1849/50 At age 88 years, Lovina’s grandfather, Jonathan died, likely at Holt Missouri before the family
      moved to Council Bluffs or Mt Pisgah. Today the campsite at Mount Pisgah is marked by a cemetery that

      Weber Co.
      1850 Jan - Spring Solomon with his father, Benoni, fitted out teams and joined a company of Latter-Day
      Saints emigrating to Utah under the leadership of Stephen Markham.
      1850 May 27, A Tornado demolished three of the standing exterior walls of the Nauvoo Temple. 27
      1850 Jun 20-27 The Stephen Markham Company left Kanesville, Iowa (present day Council Bluffs) with
      50 wagons: Campbell’s listed in alphabetical order on the roster: Campbell, Benoni (50), Deborah (20),
      Elisha Leonard (9), Heber Kimball (5), Hulda Henrietta (23), Joel (infant), John Leonard (21), Joseph
      Hyrum (12), Mary (47), Mary Lovina (22), Solomon Leonard (25).
      The company organized in the usual manner with captains of hundreds, fifties and tens, with outriders
      on each side. Loose cattle and horses were driven behind. Where conditions would permit, they
      traveled three abreast, sometimes the cattle would stampede and it would be several days before they could
      go on again. Many individuals were not familiar with teaming, handling of ox teams of two and three yoke
      to a wagon, camping out, fording streams, swimming rivers and night herding. These experiences were not
      the most pleasant. As a means of protection, camp was formed by arranging the wagons in a circle making
      a corral, the tongues outside, the fore-wheel of one wagon locked into the hind-wheel of the one ahead.
      It was a policy of the captain to reach water each Saturday night, and to remain over Sunday and rest,
      however a few times it was necessary to travel all day Sunday and part of the night to reach water. All able
      travelers were forced to walk, it was a long, weary, tiresome journey walking day after day. Danger was
      ever present, however, as the Indians were none too friendly and large herds of buffalo were a menace to
      the cattle as they would stampede them. Although trials were many and night time found them tired and
      weary, they had times of rejoicing and recreation around the evening camp fires. Someone would bring out
      their violin and there would be singing and dancing, often the captain would give a short talk, the bugle
      would sound and all would retire to a hard bed and sleep. How they rejoiced to sing the songs of Zion,
      especially "Come, Come Ye Saints.”28
      1850 June 23rd, Was the day the Markham company, with which they were traveling, was stricken with
      the dreadful cholera, and in the next few days eleven of their number would die.
      1850 June 29, Solomon's brother, John, 22 years old (traveling with the company just ahead) was sent
      ahead to dig a grave for a woman in there company which was very sick and not expected to live. The
      unexpected happened and she did not die, but got better, John’s company continued on, leaving an open
      grave behind.
      1850 June 30 , Less than twenty-four hours later, Solomon’s mother, Mary, 48 years old, was buried in th
      the very grave, by Ashland, Nebraska, which her son John had helped dig for some other mother.
      1850 July, Solomon was baptized into the ‘Mormon’ Church by Thomas McKean . 29

      1850 July 4, Father Benoni, age 50, followed in death along the Ox-Bow Trail in Nebraska
      1850 July 9, Little brother, Heber K. Campbell just 5 years old, was buried along the Platte River Trail.
      With both parents deceased, Solomon & Lovina cared for, comforted and nurtured Solomon’s surviving
      younger brothers and sisters; Deborah, Hulda H, Joseph H, Elisha L. along with her own son for the
      remainder of the trip, and afterwards. The trek was long, hot and dusty, and everyone who could was
      expected to walk. Often the company stopped at streams to let the travelers cool and wash off the blood
      from their aching feet.

      1850 Sep, Congress approved the Territory of Utah. The
      original size of the Territory was about 225,000 square miles,
      being bounded by Oregon, east by the summit of the Rocky

      Mountains, south by the 37 Parallel, west by California. It has been much reduced to present day size. th 31
      At this point in the story, some background taken from North Ogden Ward History will help
      readers: In 1824 a wholesale fur merchant, Mr. Ashley, came West by way of South Pass & Green River,
      with over 150 Men. Upon arriving at Great Salt Lake Basin he divided his company into smaller groups
      and sent them to different directions to trap beaver, which abounded in large numbers in rivers and
      mountain streams. A Mr. Ogden was in charge of a group which pitched their tents on the soil to be known
      27 years later as “Ogden Hole”, Brownsville, and still later as North Ogden. Camping, trapping furs,
      trading with the many tribes of Indians that roamed the area in large numbers, through the abundance of
      game; including buffalo, bear, elk, deer, etc., they were afforded the pleasure of abundant hunting. After
      the departure of Mr. Ogden and his company, land was left for over 20 years with the roaming Indian’s in
      control. 32
      The Mormons soon branched out from Salt Lake City going into Weber County, starting with the
      purchase of Miles Goodyear’s claim for $1,950. The purchase, according to a letter written from John
      Smith to Brigham Young on March 6, 1848, was made on the advice of the Salt Lake Council by Captain
      James Brown, famous in the Mormon Battalion. James had just returned to Utah from California with
      $3,000 of Battalion pay, part of the pay was earned by the Pueblo Detachment, and part was earned by
      Brown. Captain James Brown received a deed of purchase on Nov. 13, 1847. Miles Goodyear turned over
      to Brown improvements and livestock, including 75 goats, 75 cattle, 12 sheep and 6 horses. Captain James
      Brown with his family, a brother Clinton Brown, a Mr. Myers and a Mr. Therlkill settled on the Goodyear
      claim. Captain Brown opened up the land to pioneers seeking homes and established a settlement called
      Brownsville. On January 25, 1850, Brigham Young laid out a plan for an enlarged community and renamed
      it Ogden. 33
      1850 Sept Again returning from Winter Quarters to Weber, Utah Jonathan brought his son, Aboil.
      Jonathan had married Lucinda Austin Shipman Callahan after her arrival in Oct 1848. Lucinda took over
      the care of his young children, including his other son, Nephi, who arrived with an unidentified company
      between 1847-1850 but in time for the 1850 census at Weber.
      1850 Oct 1-3, The Stephen Markham Co arrived in Salt Lake City where Solomon Campbell met with
      Jonathan & Samuel Campbell who had arrived previously.

      1851 March 4-10 In the spring, Jonathan and Samuel returned to North Ogden with 10 families including:
      Solomon Campbell, Thomas Dunn, Lemuel Mallony, Benjamin Cazier, Newton D. Hall, Newman J.
      Blodgett, Franklin G. Clifford, Enock Burns, David Garner, and Noah Brimhall being among them; Robert
      Montgomery soon followed and by fall of that year there were twenty families in North Ogden. Solomon,
      helped make a permanent settlement of North Ogden. Some of the first ‘homes’ were crudely 36
      constructed dugouts built in the sides of hills, or they dug holes in the ground like a cellar with
      perpendicular walls and then sheered up with rocks. Using rocks helped to stabilize the walls of the
      dugouts and also cleared the land for cultivation. Roofs were constructed of saplings laid close together
      over the dugout, which were then covered with reeds or grass, then 2-3 feet of earth. Cowhide was hung
      over the entrance as a doorway, stone fireplace provided heat and light and used for cooking. The dugouts
      often served as root cellars after the pioneers moved into log cabins. 37
      Solomon Campbell built the first log house in North Ogden, in 1851. They lived in the center of the
      present town of North Ogden just south of a natural spring of fine cold water, abt. 2550 N 528 E. 38
      Mormon women carried a heavier load than other western pioneer women because their husbands,
      father and brothers were frequently away on missions or other Church assignments, and the managing of
      the family resources fell to the women and the older children. All of this was in addition to their normal
      duties of cooking and canning, drying fruit, grinding wheat, washing, ironing, quilting, sewing, darning,
      spinning, weaving, making soap and sugar, preparing for weddings, attending funerals, maintaining and
      beautifying homes, raising children and attending to Church duties. Some helped the family survive
      economically, they sewed, took in laundry, made and sold butter, cheese, dried fruit, rag carpets, shoes,
      hats, yarn, cloth, candlewick, and candles. Others taught school or were midwives. The sisters cooperated
      with each other in the settlements, since few homes were totally self-sufficient.39
      1851 May 21 Always fearful for the safety of their family, the Mustering of Infantry or Nauvoo Legion
      was set up. The citizens in Utah, never rebelled against the constitution, but often did criticize officers of
      the government and sometimes severely. However, as they appealed for statehood each July 4 they
      celebrated Independence Day with intense patriotism. The Weber Infantry Rifle Company, Nauvoo Legion
      came into effect with Colonel Thomas Kane as a liaison between the Saints and the US government.
      Keeping ‘mustered up’ and ‘ready’ supplies being issued to the Campbell’s each year 1851-1857 were:
      Campbell, Samuel, May 21, 1851, 48 rounds of ammunition
      Campbell, John, May 21, 1851, on hand/given 1 musket

      There was little or no furniture so items were made of splitting logs, hewing the flat side smooth,
      boring holes and inserting pegs for legs, thus making benches and stools. A bed-stead was made by placing
      a post out from a corner and running a pole each way to the wall. Pegs were driven into the poles 12 or
      14 inches apart and rawhide thongs woven from them to the wall. A bed tick filled with grass, leaves, cornhusks
      or straw was placed there for a bed. Sometimes a bed was made by placing small poles across and
      placing pine boughs on them where buffalo hides or other animal skins were spread. Wood pins were
      placed in the walls of the house on which all kinds of articles were hung.
      Preparations were made for winter by hauling wood from the mountain, building corrals of poles
      or willows, cutting grass with scythes where possible for curing it for hay. Thus by industry and mutual
      help the people prepared for the rigors of winter. They helped each other with their work, and all worked
      together getting fuel and wood for building, outfitting many and building the necessary buildings for
      themselves and stock so when winter came they were ready for it. Lovina was a good seamstress and 41
      house-keeper so they soon had a good pioneer home. Lovina was long remembered for her pleasant and
      generous ways, regardless of her circumstances.
      Lovina's sister, Rosetta Clifford (Mrs Franklin Clifford), gave birth to a baby in 1850, which was
      the first white baby born in North Ogden, however their baby didn't live. Because of this, Lovina &
      Solomon were given credit for giving birth to the first living white child born in North Ogden. 42
      1851 Dec 15 , They had the honor of being the parents of twins, being the first surviving children to be th
      born in North Ogden. They named them: Solomon Benoni and Mary Lovina Campbell.43
      1852 During the year other families came and the new settlement made more rapid strides in improvement,
      besides the private building erected as family residences. The first public building, a one room log school
      house, was build by voluntary contributions, it was used for all kinds of public gatherings, school, church
      and dances. 44
      1852 April 12, Jonathan Campbell was court appointed ‘supervisor’ of the Ogden Hole (North Ogden)
      settlement. 45
      1852 Dec 22, The first branch of the LDS church was organized in North Ogden . Solomon and Lovina 46
      experienced the early Indian troubles and the grasshopper plague which made food scarce. The Indians
      were a constant menace, being camped in groups of from 3 to 10 wigwams up and down the water courses
      where there was forage for their ponies. They were persistent beggars; the squaws and papooses going

      from place to place asking for something to eat; and the men riding around pilfering and often demanding
      whatever they happened to see or want.
      1853 This year, the Indians under Chief Walker, waged war against the settlers in various parts of the valley
      and N. Ogden was no exception. Because of Indian troubles in different parts of the Territory, President
      Brigham Young issued instructions, "Each settlement should by all means build a good strong fort to
      include all the inhabitants and large enough to store all their grain therein; with strong corrals adjoining,
      to secure all their stock in case of trouble with the Indians. Therefore, be cautious, wise and energetic in
      the location and construction of your forts." 47
      In 1853 In compliance with Brigham Young’s instructions, a fort, “Fort Wall”, was begun in the town 48
      of North Ogden, Weber, Utah for protection from the Indians. Jonathan Campbell recorded that the fort
      blocks were 24 rods square, containing 8 lots 6 x 12 rods with streets 3 rods wide. This enclosure was 49
      five blocks long and two and one-half blocks wide, with a street running around the entire inside wall of
      the fort. Two hewn timber gates were set, one in the south wall, and one in the west wall near the south
      leading out to the farms. The west wall could not be entirely completed because of the swampy condition
      caused by the streams from the mountains flowing down and spreading over the lowlands. The walls were
      made of rock with dirt backing, 5 feet thick, 10 feet high and laid in mortar. Those who had farms, some
      distance from the fort, built homes within it. Solomon & Jonathan Campbell with others located in the
      Southwest corner of the fort where there was a large flowing spring of water. The west street in the fort
      was known for many years as ‘Pioneer Street’, because all homes were built and occupied by the following
      pioneers: Solomon Campbell, John Shaw, Benjamin Carzier, and Franklin G. Clifford. Several large springs
      of good water were within the enclosure. 50 51
      1853, Nov 28 , Charlotte Henrietta Campbell was born into the family at North Ogden, Utah. th 52
      Not only was Solomon a good carpenter, helping to build the ward meeting house and other
      buildings but he helped build roads and do the many things necessary to build a new town. Being very
      handy with tools, he took a very prominent part in all of the improvements for the settlers and the town.
      He made the rude furniture such as: tables, cupboards, chests, yarn reels, lye vats, cheese -presses, cloth
      looms and anything needed. 53
      1854 Lovina experienced the early Indian troubles and the almost total destruction of the crops by the
      grasshoppers and the wholesale manner in which the people turned out to fight them to save what crops
      they could, which made food very scarce.

      1855 Feb. 7, Benjamin Cardner, R. G. Berrett, F. C. Clifford and Solloman Campbell ordained Seventies
      in the 38th Quorum, Jos. Godfrey was rec'd into the Quorum. 54
      1855 Were trying times with food scarce and shelters still poor. Remarkable dryness of the growing season
      causing general shortness of crops. People were compelled to live on Sego’s, bran, bread, etc. 55
      Nov 1855 Winter came early with snow depths of 3 to 4 feet, drifting into great drifts covering all forage
      and obliterating all roads, hundreds of animals died and was afterwards known as the 'Hard Winter’. People
      subsisted on wild game, unbolted barley and oatmeal, taking the hulls out with a hand sieve. Notwithstanding
      many hardships the people met often in house parties and at the school house for church
      services, dancing, spelling bees, debating societies.
      1855 Nov 10 , Twins Millie and Willie Campbell were born and both died the same month. th
      1856, Just 6 years after the first pioneers viewed the North Ogden valley, the settlers, foreseeing a scarcity
      of water for future use and noting that water was running to waste down Ogden River, the pioneers agreed
      to initiate construction of a canal to bring wasted water into North Ogden. Two early settlers, Crandall
      Dunn & Levi Wheeler, planned the construction, they hired a surveyor from Salt Lake to survey a line. The
      old canal was not built as a thing of beauty, Pioneers used shovels, grubbing hoes, picks and an old
      handmade scraper to grub out the canal bed through hard, rocky soil. Huge boulders sitting on the survey
      line almost killed the canal project, but the pioneers ingeniously dug around and beneath the boulders,
      gradually allowing them to sink lower and lower until water in the canal could run over them. Women also
      helped dig the canal, among the many helpers were Jonathan & Solomon Campbell, along with John and
      Isaac White and others. The canal would be lengthened during the next few years. 56
      1856 Oct-Nov, Winter came early, with the heroic rescue of the Willie & Martin handcart company
      touching all Saints lives.
      1856 Nov 6 , Lemuel Campbell was born to Solloman Campbell & Levina, was blest Feb. 25, 1857 by th
      Thomas Dunn and died Oct 6, 1857.57
      1856-57 Winter Snow fell to the depth of 8 feet in some places in Ogden valley, which followed with the
      most bounteous harvest ever known before the next summer.58
      1857 March, President Buchanan had just been inaugurated President of the United States when he
      appointed Alfred Cummings of Georgia to be the new Governor of Utah, replacing Brigham Young.
      Believing that the Mormons were in rebellion against the government, Buchanan also ordered twenty-five
      hundred officers and men to escort the new governor to the territory of Utah. 59
      Joseph Hyrum Campbell (Solomon’s little brother, barely 20 years old) had been living with his
      brothers in North Ogden, became part of the territorial militia or the Nauvoo Legion, composed of all male
      members of the community over eighteen years of age, this included all adult Campbell men. They

      conducted regular drills and exercises, and were subject to instant mobilization in case of an attack on their
      own or a nearby village.
      1857 May 18, The US War Department ordered the Fifth Infantry, part of the Tenth, and the second
      Dragoons - perhaps one-fifth of the standing army of the United States - to march to Utah as a posse to
      escort the newly appointed federal officials to their posts. The troops were to assemble at Fort
      Leavenworth, Kansas. Making adequate preparations took time because the troops needed thousands of
      cattle and enough equipment and supplies to outfit the expedition.
      1857 July 18, The first contingent of the US Army left Fort Leavenworth heading for Utah. At the same
      time on a mail run, 600 miles to the west at Fort Laramie, Abraham O. Smoot (mayor of Salt Lake City),
      Porter Rockwell, and Judson Stoddard were informed by freighters along the trail about government troops
      headed for Salt Lake City. They decided to disband company stations, take livestock with them and push
      on to Salt Lake City as fast as possible.60
      1857 July 24 th Brigham Young and twenty-five hundred Saints were camped in Big Cottonwood Canyon
      celebrating the tenth anniversary of the Saint's arrival in the valley. At about noon the three weary travelers
      rode into camp and informed Brigham Young of the approaching army. The Saints reacted swiftly,
      expecting the worst, to be driven from their homes again. In spite of sermons that the troops were just
      escorting the new Governor Cummings, the Saints started elaborate military preparations in Utah. About
      eleven hundred men were sent to Echo Canyon east of Salt Lake City, on the most direct route to the city.
      At a narrow point in the ravine, they built stone walls and dug trenches from which they planned to act as
      snipers. They also loosened huge boulders that could easily be sent crashing down on the moving columns,
      and constructed ditches and dams in the valley that could be opened to send water across the army's path.
      They were determined. 61
      The people told Captain Van Viet, who had come on ahead to prepare the area for the soldiers who
      were on the plains, that should the government continue its course, the Latter-day Saints were ready to burn
      their homes, destroy their crops and make Utah a desert before the troops arrived. Patrols of the Utah 62
      militia were sent out on the plains to protect, if necessary, the immigrants headed for Zion and to report on
      the progress of the federal troops.
      1857 Early Sept A major reconnaissance, the so-called 'Northern Expedition,' was ordered north under
      Col. West to intercept the cavalry of General Johnston's army. The contingent contained a heavy enrollment
      from all parts of Weber and Davis Counties and from Farmington in particular.
      1857 Oct The 44 ‘Mormon raiders’, a unit of the Nauvoo Legion under the direction of Major Lot Smith,
      were asked to harass the oncoming troops and delay them. They were to: find the route of the troops,
      annoy them in every way, stampede their animals and capture some (1,400), obtain their supplies, set fire
      to the wagons (74),fire key Mormon outposts (Fort Bridges & Fort Supply) and in other words, make life
      miserable for the army and do everything to slow them down. 63
      Brigham Young went forward with his plans, he proclaimed martial law in the territory and forbade
      the entry of armed forces. He ordered the Nauvoo Legion to prepare for the invasion. In nearly every

      Utah community, preparations for defense were accelerated. He also instructed bishops in the villages to
      prepare to burn everything should hostilities actually break out. 64
      Joseph Hyrum Campbell (Solomon’s brother) tells this account. "During the Echo Canyon war,
      I was in Chauncey Wests' command, [Chauncey W. West of the Weber Military District with headquarters
      in Ogden] and we came north to watch the Oregon Trail. We had 500 men and about 100 wagons. The
      men walked and kept up a military formation. We camped the first night at Brigham, and the next day
      came through Wellsville canyon and camped on the Muddy river, just below Maughan's Fort.
      The third night we camped at Logan. We crossed the river about where the county road does now. The
      next night we camped on Lewiston flat. I was on guard duty that night. When the relief squad came
      around, the officer had forgotten the countersign, and could not give it when challenged, but finally
      blurted out, 'Oh, come on, I knows ye!" That became the byword for the rest of the trip.
      The 5 night we were where Oxford [Idaho] is now, and the next in Marsh Valley, where we remained th
      in camp for several days, and started on our return to Ogden by way of Malad Valley."
      Colonel West told us a story of two men who were to fight a duel. The place selected was on top of a
      hill. The men were to stand back to back and at a given word were to walk so many steps and then turn
      and shoot. But when they turned, they could not see each other. Brother West said that kind of a fight
      would suit him on this trip. I heartily agreed with him.'
      Another personal account comes from James Quale: "We came across the valley on about the same route
      as the present road [US 89-91], We had to make a trail through the willows to get our wagons across the
      Logan river. We camped on the hill near Thatcher's mill. I stood guard that night. The next day we
      marched to Summit creek for dinner, and camped on High creek that night. The next day we built a bridge
      over Cub river, and ate dinner on Lewiston Flats, and camped near where Oxford is now. The following
      day we camped for three days, and started on our return. We saw there the bones of a lot of cattle or
      buffalo that had evidently been starved to death. We cross the divide and came back by way of Malad
      Valley.
      While scouting, they found no U.S. Soldiers, but many of its scouting members saw possible home
      sites in Cache Valley. It is probably to this Northern Expedition against Johnston's Army that the rapid
      settlement of Cache Valley after the Utah War may be traced.
      1857 Nov General Albert Sydney Johnston of Johnson’s Army, who was in charge of the government
      troops, found themselves at Fort Bridger, only to discover that the Mormons had burned the wooden
      buildings. The government troops realized it was too late to get to Salt Lake City, so they marched days
      in cold, stormy weather and made a city of tents or improvised shelters called Camp Scott where they
      wintered under difficult circumstances.65
      1858 March-May 3, In pursuance of a decision reached by the Church on Mar. 21, 1858, the Saints
      general move south was taken up by the settlers in N. Ogden and Salt Lake City area, with as many as 600
      wagons moving through Salt Lake City the first few weeks, as about 30 thousand saints abandoned their
      homes. All pending the arrival of Johnson’s Army, the Saints going as far south as Santaquin and other
      settlements . 66

      1858 June 11, The difficulties between the ‘Mormon’s’ and US army were adjusted by a peace conference
      in the Council House in S.L.C. where agreement was made that the army would quietly enter the capital
      city, leave the Saints property alone and establish a federal military post at least 40 miles away from both
      Salt Lake City and Provo. 67
      1858 June 26, Johnson’s Army entered the empty City, as only a few saints stayed behind to torch the city,
      if necessary and the agreement wasn’t followed concerning the Saints property.
      1858 July 4, Most settlers returned from the move south and re-occupied their homes, however, some
      never returned. 68
      Having the Army stay would be an economic blessing to the Saints for the next 3-4 years. 69
      1858 Aug 10 , David William Campbell, another son, was born and survived! th
      1858 People did have good times, they danced, sang, talked and helped each other until life was very
      sweet indeed. When one had a pair of shoes, and they went to a dance, the pair was loaned around to all
      who could wear them as they took turns dancing.
      Lovina was a born seamstress and had a room for her sewing where among other things she made
      overalls sold at the Sidney Steven's Store, 'tidies' and cushions for chairs. She loved beautiful handwork
      and was always making something pretty, many beautiful quilts. She also dried and preserved apples and
      many other fruits that they had grown. Her home was always in order and she was a skillful homemaker.
      She used sand to shine her tin plates and to scour her wooden floors. Her home was open to all; she often
      used her 'best room' to stage plays and play music for her company. The children gathered long straws of
      the tassel wheat which she soaked in water and braided, sewing the braids into the shape of hats desired.
      For the girls' and men's best hats, the straws were split lengthwise, making a finer braid.
      1860 The family moved to Cache Valley to avoid Indian troubles, where they lived for a short time in
      Providence, Cache Valley.

      Ward, a little son and the last of their children arrived at North Ogden. 81
      Lovina was long remembered for her pleasant and generous ways. Her home was one of order but
      in the early days she liked to open it up for the entertainment and amusement of her neighbors. When an
      English family named Storey (James & Clarissa ) came to North Ogden, she took them into their home and
      had all the neighbors come to get acquainted with them. They staged a little play in her best room

      1880, Oct 10, John Taylor was sustained as President of the Church and the Pearl of Great Price was
      accepted as a standard work.
      From Lovina's life sketch we learn that Solomon had worked nearly a full year without pay in the
      erection of the ward meeting house in North Ogden, while Lovina made overalls to support their family.
      When Solomon was asked to pay their tithing he though his work on the meeting house should suffice for
      that, but they were dis-fellowshiped for non-payment of tithing. Solomon had also declined to take a 83
      second wife. This experience saddened their lives but they remained true to their religion and taught their
      children to do the same. Lovina was a good mother, she gave birth to thirteen children, seven boys and six
      girls (3 died in infancy). She loved her religion and taught her children to love it. She sent them to the
      ward meetings even after she and her husband were dis-fellowshiped. Their children were active in the
      church and their son Warren would later became a counselor in the Liberty, Utah Ward Bishopric.
