GROUP AT A CELEBRATION (titled on the back)

Names on the back, but not in order: John Nicholson, Knute Thurklesen, Peter Fredericksen, Peter Monson, Oscar Barton, Joseph Johansen, Geo Larsen, Joseph Wise, Dolph Bennett, Mason Larson, Elijah McClenahan, Thomas Ivie, John Stansfield, Ellertsen, Ellisher Brandon, PeterA. Larsen, Charles Averett, James D. Meyrick, Edward Zabriskie

It is my guess that this was a re-enactment with white men dressed as Indians. The names listed were some of the first settlers to Mt. Pleasant. Also of interest is the posters in the background advertising "Ten Nights in a Bar Room".

Andrew Madsen's Journal ~ Indian Trouble ~ 1866

In the Spring of 1866, another call was made by the Church for men to go to the east for Emigrants and this year Hans Brotherson, Charley Hampshire, George Tuft, Christian Peterson (Peel), Neils Jensen, Hans Scholf, Frederick Peterson, Neils Lund and August Manier, with Laman Pete as Night Guard.  They were fitted out by us and at once went to Salt Lake City and

They managed to keep at a safe distance from the troops and enjoyed the

fruit of their many exploits during the winter months and made their

calculations for the Spring.

July 15th, 1866 my wife gave birth to a girl. We gave her the name of Emma.

She, however, only lived a few hours and died the same day and was buried

in our City Cemetery.
