In humility before God, together with the rest of my fellow pioneers, I dedicate the ground just surveyed, the surrounding land, the minerals, the water, the timber and grass to the service of God in the manufacture of iron, machinery etc., that our necessities might be met and the territory built up.3 Most of the men left their families in Parowan when they left for Coal Creek. After the new settlers anived at their destination November 11, 1851, the fist task was to "fort up7'as a defense against the Indians and build a corral for the livestock, k t first the new company of men camped by what is called "the knoll" (north of present Cedar City). Henry lived with James Whittaker in a wagon box with James' 18-year-old son. This was temporary, only until the rest of the Whittaker family anived. It was no small feat that had transpired in just a year's time. Here they were, establishing the second settlement in the midst of semi-hostile savages, and they felt their prayers for the preservation of their lives and property had been answered. Building facilities to corral the livestock took first precedence. They all worked on the corrals during the day and met around the campfire in the evening. Such heavy work was difficult in the cold November air. James Whittaker and his family w h o ~ e n was staying with had r~ sailed from Liverpool, England on the ship, George W. Bourne, January 23, 1851, arriving in New Orleans March 20. They traveled up the Mississippi to St. Louis, then journeyed up the Missouri River to Kanesville, Iowa, arriving the 27th of May. The entire family came with one of the pioneer companies to Salt Lake, reaching their destination September 27, 1851. James and his family came on to Parowan with the Iron Mission that fall where Henry became well acquainted with the family.4 The crops had been harvested in Parowan before the company left. Although the food was of a coarse character which contributed to digestive problems, they had plenty to eat. However, there was also some uncertainty about replenishment of clothing and shoes.5 A great deal of patching was being done on what little clothing they had.
