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.

| - | Brother Snow came through that winter. I decided to go to Arizona to a farm Bateman was to have. William Maxfield, Brother Lundquist, and Brother Johnson went. We started December 11, stopping the first night at Glendale. Five miles out of Glendale the next day, Brother Maxwell broke down and had to go back to Glendale. We did not make very good progress. We spent Christmas Eve on the road in six inches of snow. One of our horses was stolen. I did most of the cooking. We lost part of our cows. They wandered away or were stolen. We had to kill one for food. We camped many times before we reached our destination near Concho. We arrived on my birthday, 26th of February | + | Brother Snow came through that winter.

His wife was about to be confined. A Gentile woman was living in part of the house. She wanted me to take care of her too. Their confinements were ten days apart. They both came through fine. Charlie Riggs’ wife had a baby about this time. Also Grace. I helped Bateman put in his garden but I took sick and had to go to bed. I was administered to and recovered. I went with Bateman to Snowflake to get a load of lumber, stopping off in Woodruff to take care of Sister Greer. I stayed about six weeks. Then Jacob Hamblin came along on his way to Utah. I went with him and the Everett and Shumway families went along. We got to Johnson. It was very cold. There was a man there going to Glendale so I asked him to take me. I walked part of the way to get to Orderville. |
I had a good visit. I waited on Sister Esplin. She named the baby after me, Clarissa. I spent the winter in Orderville. In the spring I went to Rockville. Here the sister of Bateman's first wife Lydia took sick and both she and her little girl died. Soon after, [[Bateman Haight Wilhelm, Jr.|Haight]] came for his mother, Lydia. We had to wait till quite late In the summer because of high water. We got as far as Kanab and I had to leave part of my things with Jacob Hamblin because the load was too heavy. We stayed for Conference. Susan came from Orderville to attend Conference. | I had a good visit. I waited on Sister Esplin. She named the baby after me, Clarissa. I spent the winter in Orderville.
