ing and saw mill, and continued about
50 years; most of this time he labored
eighteen hours a day.

He never made any profession of
religion until I baptized him, with all
his household, into the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, on
the first day of July 1838. He was a
man of great charity, honesty, inte-
grity and truth, and made himself poor
by giving to the poor, and accomoda-
ting his fellow-men by loaning money
and becoming surety for his neighbors,
and always saying yes to every man
who asked a favor at his hand.

I was born in the north part of the
town of Farmington, now called Avon,
Hartford co., Conn., March 1, 1807.
I assisted my father in attending the
Farmington Mills, until I was twenty
years of age.

In April 1827, I took the flouring
mill of my aunt, Helen Wheeler,
which I attended three years. In
May 1830, I took charge of the flour-
ing mill of Mr. Colllins, the ax manu-
facturer, in South Canton, Conn. At
the end of one year it was demolished
to make way for other machinery.
In March 1831, I took charge of the
flouring mill owned by Mr. Richard
B. Cowles of New Hartford, Conn.
In the spirng of 1832, in company
with my oldeset brother, Azmon, I
went to Richland, Oswego co., New
York, and purchased a farm and saw
mill, and settled in business.
