Journal Entry

November 25, 1871 ~ Saturday

25. [FIGURES] The same spirit rests upon me this morning to go home
I told Sarah & Wilford I must go so I got my Breakfast
hitched up my team & bid the family good by & started at 108 oclk
it was still vary cloudy I drove to Woodruff stoped & talked awhile
with Bishop Lee baited my Horses & started on when about 12 Miles
from Wasatch the great snow storm struck me. I had to travel
some 12 Miles in a terrible blinding snow storm to Watsatch where
I arived in the night my Horses covered with snow & water I
called upon Brother George Rowley who was the ownly Mormon
in the place. He assisted me to get my horses into a store house as
there was no stable in the place it was a terrific cold storming night
my Horses would have nearly or quite perished if I could not
have got them under cover. Distance of the day 35 Miles
