Hopkins were chosen and ordained. Counselors to President Haight in the Stake were Jonathan Pugmire and John Higbee. President Young made the following remarks at this conference, which were written in the Cedar Records: The spirit of the people is rather dull. Making iron is as holy a c a h g as to go preaching the Gospel to the nations of the earth......I don't want to raise a particle, if the damned infernal gentiles are coming here to eat it up. I would rather live on roots and the mountain elk, deer and cattle than see their infernalhere again, for they are the very scum of Hell and would cut the throat of every man and woman and child here if they had the power. President Young, once again, advised the people of Cedar Fort to move the townsite because the fort was located on the flood plain where it was obvious that the waters from Coal Creek would do, and had done, excessive damage. There were great boulders and driftwood that had accumulated along the stream bed which the settlers would have to remove. Young advised the settlers to move one mile nearer to the mouth of the canyon. That afternoon he planted his cane (on the corner of the present 200 North and 200 East) and said, "This will be your townsite. Build south and west of here--no farther north However, several years elapsed before the old site was completely vacated. Some residents even chose to leave the settlement rather than move again. When the Cedar Stake was organized John C. L. Smith had been the President of the Iron County Stake and remained in the position of President of the Parowan Stake. Henry Lunt had been a counselor to Smith before he left for England. Unfortunately, before Henry returned home President Smith died of heart disease at the age of 33 in Dec 1855, and W k H. Dame was sustained as Stake President on January 20, 1856.
