Autobiography 1883 Tullidge's Quarterly Magazine Notes 3
I rode to South Weber and we did not arrive till a late hour. It was very dark. We got lost in the bluffs and came very near running our carriage off a steep bluff. I went to the fort got a pilot and lantern and we arrived in safety. The people were assembled for a meeting. I spoke to them for a short time and spent the night with Orson Pratt at brother Kington's. Next day we rode to Ogden City and met with the people in the capacity of a quarterly Conference. We had a strong wind through the day and night. It was the strongest gale we ever experienced in these valleys. Much damage was done and many adobie houses were blown down some unrofofed fences laid prosterate carriages and waggons mashed to pieces hay and straw stacks blown over and many chimneys blown off Next morning the people were gloomy in consequence of the destruction by the wind which also continued strong through that day and until the next which was Sunday I reported all the discourses of the Elders at the Ogden Conference. I left Parley Pratt preaching in the afternoon of Sunday and rode to South Weber where I preached in the evening to the people In company with Joseph Young Horace Eldridge and Henry Herriman I rode to Tooele City to hold conference. There were others of the missionaries attening this Conference which continued several days
