Written Kent, Stephenson Co. Illinois Dec. 15th 1890



Dear Cousin Olive McBride, I have not had a letter from you in long time and I thought I would write you one and see if I could not get one from you once more. I would like to have you write to me and tell me all about your foalks how many are living and their adress and how many are dead and wheir they died and all about them and if you can tell me about the Huntsmans and the Burgesses and Robert and Margaret Johnson where they were the last you knew of them and how they were geting along. When I went to California I stoped and seen Robert and Margaret at Council Bluffs and I have not hurd from them since. When I was at the Green River on my way to California I saw a man that run the ferry and he said he knew Elam and Ezekiel and he said that one of them had gone into polygama and I hurd lately that the boys were nearly all dead and that some of them had gone crazy. Wil you pleas to tell me all about them and about all of the foalks that we used to know down at Nauvoo. I was at Nauvoo about twenty years ago and it is a desolate place. I wanted to go out where we and your foalks used to live but I could not go. I often think about the good times we used to have there but they are past and gon never to return. I will now try to tell you about our familey. Father died at Holden Johnson Co., Mo. and then I baught out the heirs and Mother came to live with me and she lived with me untill she died about three years ago. Lyman died in Colorado and so did Lewis. Mancil was killed by the plains going to Montana and they tried to kill Lewis at the same time. They were either road agents or Indians that killed Mancil I think they were road agents. Mathew, Chester and Wesley live near Sac City, Sac County, Iowa and Semantha died at Holden, Mo. about two years ago and Richard started for Dead Wood City, Dacota and that was the last I hurd of him and I am living here on the old homestead with poor heath I don't suffer much pain but am weak and poor appitite at times. I have a good home and a good wife and two little girls the oldest ten years old. When I was practicing medicine down in Iowa at Farmington at a conference of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints I got acquainted with an old lady by the name of McBride she said she was some connection of James your husband ( it was Elizabeth Mcbride McMillen, sister of James) Her father was the one killed in Mo. with the corn cutter.*** I will have to close I had to go lie down before I could finish this. Write soon our love to all Levi Cheney P.S. When you write wil you pleas to tel me the name and adress of your general church recorder I would like to write to him and if you can I would like to have you send me a small peace of the Salt Lake temple. Yours in love L.C.


*** Levi is referring to the murder of Thomas McBride in the Haun's Mill Massacre. See "Biography of James McBride".



Kent Ills. Feb. 26, 1891

Dear Cousin Olive McBride,

In answer to yours of a late date I would say that I was glad to hear from you again and to hear that you were alive and wel and I was also glad to hear from your familey as I had not hurd from them since I went to California while(?) was at Green River I found a man that told me all about your father's familey. He was from Utah. But he did not know anything about Robert or Margaret for they had not got there yet they were then at Council Bluffs. I saw them there. She married a man by the name of Noah T. Guyman and he had married two or three other wives and I don't know how many more he had after that for I never hurd of them afterwards until you said you saw them out there. I would like to write to them if I could get their adress. I have written to them but got no answer yet hope I wil soon. I often get letters from Melinda Higley. I was sorry to hear that Clark went into polygama but I suppose he got it preached to him and he beleaved it. I wish you would send me as large a peace of the stone that the Salt Lake Temple is built of as you can send for the two cent stamps that you will find enclosed and oblige me by so doing.I want the rock to get cut in to a watch charm for a curosity and I would like to have it as near square as you can conveniantly get it and if the two cent stamps are not anuf I will send the balance when it comes. Wal(?) Olive I wil hafto close for it is chore time. We send you our love from your cousin. Levi Cheney


P.S.-- If I said that the woman that I saw at Farmington was the wife or daughter of the McBride that got killed with the corn cutter I did not mean to so state for I dont know what connection she did say she was only that she knew James. I have broken my typewritter and now hafto quit. L.C.


Kent, Ills. April 4. 1891



Dear Cousin Olive McBride,

I received your welcom letter and the peace of rock and was glad to hear from you and as much obliged to you for your trouble but you did not send any bill with the rock so I do not know what your charges are but the postage I do know what it was and you wil please to find it in this note. The weather is clear and cool, there is some snow on the ground but it wil soon go off I think. I have written to Elam and have got an answer. He was well at the time of writing. I hope this will find you well as it leaves us. Our love to you and yours Levi Cheney

Haun?s Mill



Thomas McBride, an old gray-haired veteran of the American Revolution, was met by a number of the mob in front of Brother Haun?s house. The old man, trembling with age rather than with fear, surrendered his gun, saying, "Spare my life; I am a Revolutionary soldier." But the inhuman murderers to whom he made this pathetic appeal shot the veteran down with his own gun, and then a Mr. Rogers of Daviess County fell upon him and hacked him to pieces with an old corn cutter, leaving the veteran soldier of the Revolution covered with a score of unsightly wounds, either of which alone would have been fatal his brains oozing from his cracked skull and his white hair sprinkled with gore. A Miss Rebecca Judd was an eye-witness to this terrible butchery. Austin Hammer was mortally wounded, seven balls were shot into his body, breaking both thigh bones. After the firing had ceased, he was found among the dead by the surviving brethren and carried into Haun?s house, where he died about 12 o?clock the following night. Issac Laney was wounded by five bullets, which passed through different parts of his body, but strange to say it never crippled him for life, although he suffered the most excruciating pains afterward. During the first few days after he was wounded he lay entirely helpless and could neither open his eyes, nor mouth, nor move a limb. Upon examining his clothing, 23 bullet holes were found in his underwear. Jacob Foutz, one of the brethren who ran into the blacksmith shop, was shot in the thigh. William Yokum was shot in the leg, which was subsequently amputated. Altogether, seventeen men and boys were killed outright, or were fatally wounded in this inhuman butchery, and about fifteen were wounded, more or less severely.


Following are the names of the killed or mortally wounded Thomas McBride, Levi N. Merrick, Elias Benner, Joseph Fuller, Benjamin Lewis, Alexander Campbell, Warren Smith, George S. Richards, William Napier, Austin Hammer, Simon Cox, Hyrum Abbott, John York, John Lee, John Byers, Sardius Smith and Charles Merrick. Among the wounded who recovered were Issac Laney, Nathan K. Knight, William Yokum, Jacob Myers, George Myers, Tarlton Lewis, Jacob Haun (founder and owner of the mill), Jacob Foutz, Jacob Ports, Charles Jimison, John Walker, Alma L. Smith, Miss Mary Stedwall and two others.


FROM THE BOOK: Latter-day Saint Biographical Encyclopedia



Volume 3 Biographies McGregor, Joseph Franklin



McBride, Thomas, one of the martyrs of the Church (a victim of the Haun's Mill massacre), was born March 12, 1776, in Bartley, Logan county, Virginia, the son of James McBride. About the year 1810 he removed to the town of Fairfield and thence to Wayne county. Here he served as justice of the peace for a number of years, and being converted to "Mormonism" he was baptized about the year 1831 by Elder Harvey Green, but was never ordained to any office in the Church. On the 10th day of June, 1834, he crossed the Mississippi river into Missouri, where he lived two years in Bowling Green, Pike county, and after residing for a time in Ray county, he moved to Caldwell county, Missouri, in 1836 (Sept. 19th), locating about a mile from Haun's Mill, where he was killed Oct. 30, 1838. At the time of his death he was the acting justice of the peace for Grand River Township, Caldwell county, Missouri. As he was retreating from the blacksmith shop, which was being attacked by the mob, Jake Rogers, a mobber, overtook him and demanded his gun, which he delivered up. Mr. Rogers then immediately commenced hewing at him with a corn cutter and continued till he fell to the ground. Rogers then started to cross the creek, but as Bro. McBride raised up a little, Rogers returned and swore he would give him some more, for "he was a damned old Mormon anyhow" and struck him repeatedly over the head, which killed him. In warding off the blows of the corn cutter, all the fingers of his left hand were cut off, a large gash made in his thumb and one of his ears was severed. A large wound was also found in his left breast, supposed to be caused by a bullet. This tragedy occurred on Shoal Creek, about seventy-five yards below Haun's Mill. Bro. McBride was buried in a well, about a hundred yards northwest from the mill, together with fourteen others, who were murdered by the mob on the same day.

Stansbury Mountain CanyonGrantsville Division



The first men who came to Grantsville to make homes were Harrison Severe and James McBride. They had crossed the plains in 1850, camped a short time near the Warm Springs; however, they were so greatly out-numbered by the Indians that they decided to take their families to Pine Canyon where several families had settled. Later, learning that there was a creek of fresh water and plenty of green feed on the west side of the valley, they again settled on what is now North Willow Creek; this was in October, 1850. The two men constructed a shelter of willows and mud. The willows were cut from the bank of the creek and stuck in the ground big end down in a circle with the brush end up. The willows were then tied together at the top, wigwam style and plastered with thick mud. In two or three days the mud was dry and they moved into this temporary shelter while they were making trails, dragging logs and building log cabins.


FROM THE BOOK: An Enduring Legacy Volume Ten Early Pioneer Forts Grantsville Fort



On June 3, 1850, Harrison Severe and James McBride crossed the Missouri River, and four months and seven days later arrived at what is now Grantsville. In March of 1851, they were forced by Indians to leave, but returned the following December with five additional families. In 1853 thirty families who were living in Grantsville, presided over by Thomas Henry Clark, began erecting a fort in which they could live and protect themselves from hostile Indians. When completed, the fort was thirty rods square. The north and west sides and half of the south side were built of tamped dirt thrown up from the outside, five feet wide at the base, eighteen inches at the top and twelve feet high. The east side and half of the south side were built of adobes on a rock foundation three feet thick at the base and twelve feet high


FROM THE BOOK: Our Pioneer Heritage Volume 1 They Came in 1857 President Young Visits Lemhi



In September Elder Parry was sent to Utah in company with Elder Belnap taking with them the mail and carrying home reports of the success of the mission. They arrived in Utah during the latter part of the month and found the people very much excited over the news of the approach of Johnston's Army. Notwithstanding the impending danger to the Latter-day Saints in the territory, President Brigham Young, true to his promise, sent the following brethren and sisters to the Salmon mission, J. L. Dalton, James Wilcox, Eliza Jane Hadlock, Oliver Robinson, James Miller, Charles F. Middleton, Henry Smith and wife; Jesse Smith and wife, William Smith and wife; William Marler, Frederick A. Miller, Reuben Collett, Fountain Welsh, Orson Rose, Andrew Quigley, William Parry and wife; William Taylor, Levi Taylor, James Allred, Martin H. Harris, Jonathan Bowen and wife; Joseph Bowen, Stephen Ghean and wife; Henry Harmon and wife and James McBride. This company started for the north in October, 1857, and after crossing the Bear River the company was organized for the trip. Fort Hall was reached on the 13th of the month. On the 16th they crossed the Snake River and at this point President Smith and two other brethren left the party to go ahead and apprise the mission of the coming of the new force.

p 215 under the chapter GROWTH and DEVELOPMENT Grantsville City by Virginia Alsop The first permanent settlers of Grantsville were two men who were brothers-in-law, James McBride and Harrison Herman Severe. They were members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They had known severe suffering and privation in the years since their marriages. Twice they abandoned prosperous farms to the mobs. Mrs. Severe's father, Thomas McBride, has died at the Haun's Mill Massacre; her brother had died from abuse of a mob. James' baby son had died of exposure and hardship, as had two baby cousins, near the Des Moines River. They had arrived in Salt Lake City on the fourth of October. They heard of opportunity for farms and possible employment in Tooele. The two families reached Tooele October ninth, where they found a few families living along the Settlement Canyon stream. The valley was dry and golden in the morning sun of October tenth. On the hillsides they saw the glory of autumn leaves and crimson maple in the mouth of the canyon. The elders had sent a report to Brigham Young that there was water enough to support ten families. Across the valley to the west they saw a pattern of green at the mouth of South Willow Canyon. James McBride says, "Harrison Severe and myself concluded to move to the more favorable appearing place, twelve miles to the north and west from Tooele." The afternoon of October 10, 1850, the two families made camp in a grove of willows. The McBride family consisted of James, his wife Olive Mahetable Cheeney McBride and their two sons, Thomas Aaron, and Amos. The Severe family also had two children, Ann Jannette, who was six, and her baby sister Arminta At the north was the Great Salt Lake and on the west the Stansbury Range of mountains lifted their snow clad summits to the sky. The lake, which in ancient times had covered the whole valley, had left long fingers of alkali soil running up into the fertile soil washed down from the mountains. The two large creeks from North and South Willow canyons watered these pretty meadows among the willows. p. 216 It is said that the first homes were made of willows. They stuck the ends into the ground and wove them together and coated them with mud. This made a warm weather tight shelter. Soon after, two log homes, sixteen by sixteen feet, were built. there was no door the first winter, but a blanket was hung over the opening and a piece of furniture pushed up against it at night. The two families thought, at first, they were the only inhabitants. However, they soon met two men who were living in a wagon box and herding cattle. Their names were Thomas Ricks and Ira Willis. They too built a log house, but it was of a temporary type. The first winter was a hard one. Their food mostly was the wild game 'such as deer, antelope, rabbits, wild fowls' along with fish from North and South Willow streams. They named the place Willow Creek. To earn a living, the men burned charcoal from cedar wood in pits, then hauled it to Salt Lake City, some thirty seven miles away. This was a trip two days long in each direction and a lonely and anxious time for the wives left alone at home. They received cloth and other commodities in payment. They fenced in a small field and plowed it for a garden; then looked forward to spring, but on awakening on March 20, 1851, they found that Indians had stolen the cattle. "Only two were to be found of Harrison Severe's. Mine were all gone but one." This is how James McBride tells of his loss in his autobiography. They secured the aid of Willis and Ricks and four other men who were camping to gather logs, and followed the Indians westward into the barren valley now called Skull Valley, then onward to the Cedar mountains sixty miles to the west of their home. Here they found several of the cattle killed and the Indians gone. They took what meat they could carry, and with four biscuits apiece, started the long walk home. Without the animals to plow with, they decided to go east to a settlement called Pine Canyon. Here men were engaged in getting out logs for Ezra Taft Benson's sawmill, located on what is now known as the Mill Pond, ten miles northeast of Grantsville. This summer they worked hard, planted a garden and raised some potatoes, beets and twenty bushels of wheat. They paid ten dollars a hundred for flour, and other foods were equally high in price. Still they saved two hundred and eighty dollars to buy oxen. The first week in December they went back to Grantsville; other families joined them. Some of those who came to Grantsville that winter were: Benjamin Baker, his wife and family, the families of Thomas Watson, William Davenport, Samuel Steele, Wilford Hudson, James Wrathall, James Davenport, Perry Durfree and Mr. Davis Benjamin Baker, president of the Willow Creek Branch, wrote to President Brigham Young on August 30, 1852. His letter stated that there were only eight white men with their families and forty five Indians. He asked that a dozen more families might be sent there to strengthen the settlement. This would add sufficient children to make a good school possible. His request was granted at the next October Conference 1853, when Elders Ezra T. Benson and Wilford Woodruff were called gather up fifty families to enlarge the settlement of Tooele Valley. More than twenty families settled at Willow Creek. The most important happening in 1852 was the birth of the first child in the settlement. Hyrum Severe was born 6 February 1852, the son of Dorcus McBride Severe and Harrison Severe. Willow Creek became a political entity that summer. The county court divided the county into two precincts, July 3, 1852. In August an election was upheld; Benjamin Baker became magistrate, James McBride pound keeper, Harrison Severe selectman. The referees were Wilford Hudson, Samuel Steele, Benjamin Baker, and James McBride. The fence viewers were James Davenport and Benjamin Crosland. The school trustees were Perry Durfee, Harrison Severe and Benjamin Baker. 'Growth and Development' is MANY pages, with the names McBride, Severe appearing
