dozen large carrots and one dozen large onions." They alsc raised squash and pumpkins and an abundance of com and grain. That day, after traveling to Parowan, Henry spent the evening in counsel with George A. Smith and President J. C. L. Smith. George A. Smith sealed Charles Dalton and Sarah Jane Lee for "time and all eternity" with Lunt and Smith as witnesses. Henry wrote: "It was a treat to me to be present, being the first time I ever saw the ceremony of sealing a woman to a man." Partially as a result of this experience Henry and Ellen requested that they be sealed. This took place on November 14, 1852, when George A. Smith was in Cedar City.6 Henry and Ellen chose a comer lot in Cedar Fort, Plat 4 Lot 5, Block 19. Henry wrote: 'Wovernber 1,1852: Took a walk and looked at the lot I had selected on the plot for the city. Found that it was rather broken having a hollow running through it and some large rocks on it. I was well satisfied with it knowing that no one would envy us of it, and they could not say that we had chosen one of the best lots." Henry hauled many loads of adobes and rock in preparation to start building a home. Ellen and he were excited to get started on the foundation now that all the lots had been assigned.'
