Isaac Allred -- -- --First Man Killed in Mt. Pleasant

He was killed by Thomas Ivie who assailed him over a trivial matter and beat him with a burning stick from the camp fire on May 11, 1859. He died the next day. The difficulty arose over some sheep which Brother Allred had in charge and which belonged to Thomas Ivie. His murderer was tried and condemned to death, but he managed to escape and went east. President Young prophesied that Thomas Ivie would apostatize from the Church and that buzzards would pick his bones. His prediction was literally fulfilled, as the remains of Mr. Ivie were subsequently found in a corn field nearly devoured by buzzards.
