      «b»Treasures of Pioneer History «/b»- History of Joseph and Lucy Allen
      
      The Church was expanding, new colonies were planted in faraway places to build up the Kingdom of God. The call came to Joseph and Lucy Allen to help settle the valley along the Muddy River in the western and southern part of the Utah Territory. In spite of the worry and misgivings as to what the future might bring, Joseph and Lucy obeyed the call and set about to make preparations for the move. Joseph had two families and just how to manage everything was of great concern. Finally, it was decided to leave Maria with Peter and Albert to care for the crop, then growing, until it should be ready to harvest and take Lucy and her other children to begin the new home. Albert was fifteen, but, he cried to go as it seemed such a long time to wait until fall to see his father and mother again.
      The wagon cover was tied down, the little children put in to ride on the bedding; Joseph and Lucy in the spring seat in front. Joseph picked up the whip and started the oxen. They had gone two or three miles when Lucy suddenly remembered something she had left in the cupboard; so, Joseph turned around and went back for it. The trip was [p.171]long and hard. The roads were steep and rocky and the oxen slow in their plodding. Days were tedious and trying.
      The sudden coming to their new place of assignment proved exciting, at first, even if it gave grave concern. Lucy was lonely in spite of all. The three older daughters, who were married, were back home and she missed them. The children with them were Isaac, seventeen, Elnora, nine and Simeon, seven. This was her family now, until Albert should come. Joseph set to work to build a house for Lucy and think of one for Maria when she should come. In the meantime they had to camp by a stream and sleep in the wagon. It was so far to St. George, the nearest supply station or store-ninety miles in the sand-that if things gave out they had to make the best of it. If the brooms wore out and the broom corn had not matured, they used cedar boughs to brush the floors. Things must be clean and tidy even in poverty. The Saints were helpful and neighborly sharing whatever they had with each other. Crops grew rapidly, as the season was long and hot and there was no fear of early frosts.
      One dreadful condition that developed along the Muddy was that the settlers began to have chills and fevers. Lucy became ill with the disease. She chilled and burned every day for a long time, then every other day and finally once a week. She said: "I had to bake the days I did not shake." She grew very thin and weak and it was difficult for her to care for her family under such conditions. Albert, when he came, nearly died with an attack of the same disease. When President Young became aware of the conditions prevailing there, he sent word for them to abandon the river bottoms and move to higher ground.
      By this time Joseph had moved Maria to the Muddy and made a home for her. She had a number of small children, and, therefore, took much of Joseph's time. Isaac and Albert took over the care of their mother. When the Indians drove off her cow, it was Albert who hunted her, finding her tethered in the willows by the stream. It was Isaac and Albert who ground the early barley on flat stones to make bread, as the wheat was not yet ripe and they were out of flour; but, the sand was so mixed with barley that they could not eat it. It was Albert who took his only five dollars he had saved to buy Sunday clothes and bought flour that had just been freighted in from St. George. The moving to high ground was set back. A ditch had to be taken out up the river and onto the bench land. All their buildings had to be moved; new land plowed and fenced to raise their crops.
      One summer Albert went up to Washington County to work for the summer-he was about eighteen then. He traded his oxen for a pair of mules. His father scolded him when he came home. "Why trade a good yoke of oxen for a pair of ears?" "Well," Albert protested, "I don't like to take the girls riding behind a yoke of slow oxen."
      
      
      [p.172]Along these years the young men had learned to dance and Albert had learned to play the violin. They had shucking bees, where neighbors gathered in the evening, to help shuck corn, after which they danced; had molasses candy pulls and other refreshments such as pies and cakes. They often celebrated Brigham Young's birthday with a picnic in the nearby hills. Christmas was ever a joyous time for the pioneers. Children were made happy by one small gift. They had very little sugar but they made candy, cakes, pumpkin pies, chicken pies, pickles and preserves and enjoyed to the full all they had.
      The Saints had made great progress in the years on the Muddy in spite of set-backs and poverty; but, they were to suffer a great shock. In 1871, President Young sent word: "Come back-you are released from that mission." Nevada had been admitted as a state into the Union and her boundary line had been drawn across the western border of the Utah Territory. The enemy saw here a chance to once more hurt the Mormons so they demanded of President Young that the settlers pay taxes on all the property and land they had used for those years. It was unjust so he said: "Come away and let them have it."
      The Saints always heeded Brigham Young. When he said "Move," they moved. They packed their wagons, loaded in what they could take, shut the doors of their loved cabins and drove away. They looked back upon their great corn fields, the yellow ripening grain, the luscious tomatoes red in the sun, the squash and pumpkins-not much they could take with them. Tearfully, they turned away, and on to the old sandy road that had led them there with fear and misgivings a few short years before. It was a hard thing to go out from plenty into want. Now, they must find a new home, earn a little with their hands for something to eat. They were heartsore and tired as they drove out again into the unknown, making again one more sacrifice for their religion
