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. 1830 Census Hornby, Steuben New York. 3 Benoni Campbell 2 males under 5 (John & Samuel J) 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. ________________________________ LDS Church Ward/Branch Records, Iowa Branches Members Index 1829 - 1859, Volumes I and II, 1 Ronald G.

Salt Lake City, Utah USA 1830 Census (1 Jun, 12 months to get data), Hornby, Steuben, New York, Roll 107, page 335 Page 3 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 ____________________________ Church History In the Fulness of Times, Religion 341-43, page 201 4 Our Heritage, page 51 5 Landmarks & Events Along the Historic Mormon Trail, Daughters of Utah Pioneers, page 5-6 6 Landmarks & Events Along the Historic Mormon Trail, Daughters of Utah Pioneers, page 6 7 Landmarks & Events Along the Historic Mormon Trail, Daughters of Utah Pioneers, page 6-8 Page 4 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 ____________________________________ Landmarks & Events Along the Historic Mormon Trail, Daughters of Utah Pioneers, page 8 9 Landmarks & Events Along the Historic Mormon Trail, Daughters of Utah Pioneers, page 7 10 Church History In the Fulness of Times, Religion 341-43, Map, page 223 11 Church History In the Fulness of Times, Religion 341-43, page 302 Page 5 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. _________________________________ Landmarks and Events Along the Historic Mormon Trail, Published by Daughters of Utah Pioneers, pg 13 14-16. Landmarks and Events Along the Historic Mormon Trail, Published by Daughters of Utah Pioneers, pg 14 15-16. Page 6 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. ______________________________ Landmarks & Events Along the Historic Mormon Trail, Published by Daughters of Utah Pioneers, pg 15 18 Landmarks & Events Along the Historic Mormon Trail, Published by Daughters of Utah Pioneers, pg 16 17 Landmarks & Events Along the Historic Mormon Trail, Published by Daughters of Utah Pioneers, pg 17 2-3 Church History In the Fulness of Times, Religion 341-43, page 337 page 7 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.

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 __________________________________ Landmarks & Events Along the Historic Mormon Trail, Daughters of Utah Pioneers, pg 16-17 26 Church History In the Fulness of Times, Religion 341-43, page 242 27 Mormon Pioneer Overland Travel,1847-1868-@lds.cor/churchhistory/library/pioneercompanysearch 28 Solomon’s Obituary/Funeral program or Book/Newspaper article, The Standard, Ogden, Utah, 29 Saturday, March 7, 1903 page 7 Page 9 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. 30 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 ______________________________________ Doctrine & Covenants and Church History Class Member Study Guide, 1999, page 31 page 10 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. 1850 Census USA Weber County , (census just states Weber County - no towns given) 34 Solomon L.

The census listed 155 students. Among citizens, aged twenty or older, 14 were illiterate. 35 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 _________________________________ History of North Ogden, page 293 35 The Standard, Ogden, Utah, Saturday, March 7, 1903 page 7 36 History of North Ogden, page 20-21 37 History of North Ogden, page 20 38 Church History In the Fulness of Times, Religion 341-43, page 363-364 39 page 12 Campbell, Solomon, May 21, 1851, on hand/given 1 musket40 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 ____________________________________ Copied from THE JOURNAL, Logan, Utah, Memories of Early Days in Cache County.

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. _____________________________________ North Ogden History, page 10-11 47 North Ogden Ward History, page 3 48 History of North Ogden page 11 49 North Ogden History, page11 50 History of North Ogden, page 11. ‘Daughters of Utah Pioneers placed a plaque at 650 E 2600 North, 51 marking the location of the fort & home of Thomas Dunn.’ North Ogden Ward History, page 4 52 History of North Ogden, page 22 53 page 14 1855 Feb. 7, Benjamin Cardner, R.

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.

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.

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 _______________________________________ Church History In the Fulness of Times, Religion 341-43, page 371 64 Church History In the Fulness of Times, Religion 341-43, page 374 65 North Ogden Ward History, page 15, 16 & Church History Manual page 376 66 page 17 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. 1860 Census at Cache County Utah USA 70 Campbell, Solomon, 38, male, farmer, born Penn. ...Lovina, 31, female, born Penn. ...Joel, 10, male, born MO ...Solomon B., 8 male, born U.T.

He was blest by James th 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 Census N. Ogden Precinct, Weber, Utah, USA (Note: all birth places listed as Penn. are wrong). 82 Campbell, Solomon, white, male 56, mar.

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. ______________________________ BLM-ES, GLO Records, UTUTAA000913 at: 80 www.gloreords.blm.gov/search/detail_print.asp?/accession=UTUTAA+000913 North Ogden Ward History, page 67 81 1880 Census USA (1 June, 1 month to get data), N.
