In 1874 my son Bateman and his wife Grace, and my daughter Susan moved up the river to a new settlement named Orderville. Brother Brown went with them but did not take his family. I moved in with Sister Gillespie till it came time for me to go to the dairy. My daughter Susan, Amy Haight, Lottie Claridge, and Terry Allen went too and Tarry didn't stay long. Tom Stalworthy and Jess Dillingby looked after the stock. My grand-daughter Amelia was there for she was always with me where ever I went. Brother and Sister Harmon stopped with us that summer and Sister Claridge came for a time too. We had a good time that summer. | In 1874 my son Bateman and his wife Grace, and my daughter Susan moved up the river to a new settlement named Orderville.

| - | I was called to go down and look after the sick. Sister Fackerel was very sick. Willy Heston came to the dairy for me. We started back about dark on two mules. We had a time of it. We had to trust to the mules to keep on the trail. My saddle turned and I went over my head. Then my mule went off aways. Willy finally got my mule and traveled on. We found Sister Fackerel very sick. I stayed with her for awhile then I went back to the ranch. That summer Sister Heaton stopped at the ranch for her health. She was so ailing we had to take her to the Valley. The morning we left to take her I took with the collerymorbus. I fainted and felt very sick. During the summer, we had quite a bit of company. Joseph A. Young and John R. Young, also Brother Spencer. They were pleased with the dairy. | + | I was called to go down and look after the sick. Sister Fackerel was very sick.

We moved down in the fall and Lottie went to live at Joseph Young's place. We moved into Sister Gillespie's house. I did a great deal of weaving that winter for the Order. Sister Heaton died in Salt Lake that winter. The next spring, we went to our meadow dairy and stayed about a month. Susan, Tena, and Tom Stalworthy and I made a good deal of cheese (out under the trees). There were Chris Heaton, and Maggy, my daughter Susan and her two girls, Tena and Tom Stalworthy and me. We stayed till about the last of June. | We moved down in the fall and Lottie went to live at Joseph Young's place. We moved into Sister Gillespie's house.

About this time, my daughter Susan consented to marry Brother Heaton. We all went to the City. We visited his two sisters and brother on the way. We were in the City on the 24th of July. Susan was married and they went back to the Order. I stayed in the City because the President said he wanted to see me. He wanted me to keep house for his daughter Alice's children. Sister Mary Ann Young boarded with us. She was Brigham Young's first wife. I stayed there three months, then went to take care of Franklin Richard’s wife Laura Snyder. | About this time, my daughter Susan consented to marry Brother Heaton. We all went to the City.

| - | In April 1876, I went back to Orderville with Brother Hoyt. That spring, Brother Heaton, Susan, Alvin, Bateman, Grace, and Haight all went to the City. Brother Heaton went to the doctor. His health was failing. Amelia went to see her half sisters in Panguitch. While they were gone Clarissa, Francis, and Marion stayed with me. My health was poor. I had collerymorbus all the time. Brother Spencer asked me to oversee the making of some more butter at the ranch. Anthony Blackburn, Chris Heaton, Maggy, Tena, and Ann McConnel went. I returned to Orderville early because Brother Heaton died. I returned to the dairy after his burial. We made about six hundred pounds of butter. That fall Bateman went to Arizona. He liked it very much. | + | In April 1876, I went back to Orderville with Brother Hoyt. That spring, Brother Heaton, Susan, Alvin, Bateman, Grace, and Haight all went to the City.

The next spring, Brother Fackerel took over the Meadow Dairy, and Brother Hoyt took over the Hoyt Dairy, but I didn't go to either. I had a chance to go to Panguitch with Heber Clayton. I visited the Youngs and Littles. Susan came for awhile, also Amelia. We were able to get some good flannel for dresses. From there I went to upper Kanab for ten days to teach some people how to make cheese for the factory. I returned to Orderville with Sisters Frost, Olliphand, and Ford. | The next spring, Brother Fackerel took over the Meadow Dairy, and Brother Hoyt took over the Hoyt Dairy, but I didn't go to either.
