Autobiography Volume 1 circa 1842-1865
A very rainy day was the but accompanied with a guide I journeyed to Rough Leaser and thence to Ridgeway ^Cross^. Here I found Elder Thomas Clark at his stone quary. I took several specimens of curious petrified stone formed by the water. We then walked to Frooms' Hill and visited the Saints by the way Sunday followed and this was the last Sabbath I should meet the Saints in Standly and Froom's Hill. At brother John Coles Frooms Hill, I met the Saints in the ^Sunday^ morning and had a crowded house and in the afternoon at Standly Hill where I communed with the Church. and aAt the close of the meeting I had a busy time shaking hands with the Saints and parting from them many of whom wished me to bless them and others to heal them I spent the night with brother Levi Richards at Elder Edward Ockey and on the morrow we held conference.
