BIOGRAPHY: Mr. and Mrs. Lafayette Harmon and family, natives of Illinois, moved to the community north of Rippey in 1887 from Boone, Iowa. Their first home was a makeshift place and they immediately began erection of a new residence. Shortley after moving into it a cyclone demolished the building, breaking Mrs. Harmon's leg and injuring one of the children. Mr Harmon and sons were not at home at the time, and help was slow in finding the family in the wreckage. Soon after they built another house and continued to make this their home until 1902 when they retired and moved to Rippey, where they lived until their death. Sons of the family were Frank and Oscar, early blacksmiths and implement dealers in Rippey: Eugen, telegraph operator, and Charles, Insurance agent. Daughters Della (Brown), Ive (Summers), Rippey Milliner: and Belle.

Father and Mother Stringham and Shorty and Dad and Ma Harmon were nearby living in wagons and tents. I had just finished braiding straw hats for the three little boys, Bryant, Willis and Appy. It was hard to get enough straw to make them. A few days later they made boats of their hats and sailed them down the creek. It was such fun seeing them go under the bridge and out again. Levi and Eunice and all the people in the town have been so kind to us.

Adolph Hafen, son of John George Hafen and Susette Boshard Hafen, was born June 16, 1874, at Santa Clara, Utah. The following is taken from his journal:
An Enduring Legacy, Volume Five, p.389
During my school days, one teacher taught all the grades, with eighty to one hundred pupils. We had no promotions, very few books, and often went over the same work for two years. We had long wooden desks. Eight or ten pupils would sit at one desk. We generally had a spelling match every Friday. I quite enjoyed these for I was a fairly good speller and generally I stayed up until the last or about the last.

My first teacher was an old gentleman Jones from Gunlock. He used to go to sleep in school. When we wanted to know what a certain word was that we were reading, we would go and touch him on the end of his nose to wake him. My next teacher was old man Peck; he was similar to Jones. Then came Josephine Jarvis Miles, a very nice teacher.

Next in line was Levi Harmon. All his students will remember him for the apple willows he wore out on them. Any black and blue marks on our backs were tokens of his punishment. One day he sent me out for an apple willow. I brought back a small one; he grabbed it, hit me over the hands, broke it and sent me back for a larger one. Another time Theodore Graff and I had to stay in for talking. For punishment we had to write poetry. I wrote real big, filled my slate and was excused. Theodore wrote small and had to stay longer and write more poetry.

If Mr. Harmon caught us whispering, he would have us stand on one foot until school was out. If we let the other foot hang down a little, he would come by, give us a crack with a willow and tell us to hold it up. Another way he tortured us was to make us dance a jig while he kept time with the willow on our backs.

I was a very bashful sort of lad. On one occasion Mr. Harmon had me on the stand with a girl on each side to hold my arm. I fainted, fell down on my head and was knocked out for some time. That really did give the teacher a scare and he never tried it again.

My next teachers—John T. Woodbury, Edward H. Snow, Arthur Miles and John Stillman Woodbury—were all fine teachers. The last year I taught two classes a day under John Stillman Woodbury for he had a very large school and no help.
An Enduring Legacy, Volume Five, p.390
I then went to St. George to school for two winters. It was held in the basement of the Tabernacle, under Nephi M. Savage and John T. Woodbury. The first winter Walter Graff and I rode over in a two-wheel cart. Albert Graff, Ernest Reber and Vern Graff rode over the same winter on horseback. We would run races with the boys on horseback and we really did have some fun.

The following tells about a mission served by Lorenzo Harmon:
Louisa A. Bozarth, Early Oregon Mormon
Treasures of Pioneer History — Vol. 1, p.282
1826-1911. By William B. Smart
Treasures of Pioneer History — Vol. 1, p.282
Mormonism, A hiss and byword in the mid-nineteenth century and especially on the Protestant fringe, reached out to Oregon in the little-known footnote of history that has escaped the notice of historians until the past year. The faith of the Latter-day Saints visited hardships and sacrifice on all who accepted it in those harsh .early days, but none suffered more cruelly than Sister Louisa A. Bozarth—Oregon pioneer.
Treasures of Pioneer History — Vol. 1, p.282
In the life of that pioneer woman lay drama. Cursed and reviled for her belief in "Joe Smith's crazy teachings," tied to a husband unsympathetic with her convictions, she was faced with the decision of choosing between church and home, between her faith and her husband. For one who felt the pull of restricting forces in resolving such a conflict, the choice must have involved much of what psychiatrists call sublimation, compensation, repression.
Treasures of Pioneer History — Vol. 1, p.282
Information on Louisa Bozarth is tantalizingly brief. A galley of type in a yellowed pioneer newspaper, the dim recollections of a Portland octogenarian, a paragraph in a missionary journal, a few pages of reminiscences, the most importanat part of which had been lost; of these the story must be pieced together. These are the scattered clues in what might be a fascinating case of study in psychological motivation could the details ever be uncovered.
Treasures of Pioneer History — Vol. 1, p.282
Until Mrs. Bozarth was touched by the finger of fate in the form of a "Mormon Bible"—her life was indistinguishable from the hundreds of other women in those dusty, creeping, mid-century wagon trains out of Missouri and Illinois. Her very origins are unknown. The reminiscences she left with the Oregon Historical Society begin in the year she crossed the plains, 1852, and break off in the middle of a sentence after carrying her story through 1856 one year before she accepted the Mormon faith. All efforts to locate the missing pages have failed.
Treasures of Pioneer History — Vol. 1, p.282
Jens C. Westergaard, Oregon immigrant of 1886 and a close friend of Mrs. Bozarth in her later years, is the only authority for the date of her birth, 1826, near Danville, Illinois. She was married and the mother of a seven year old boy when she crossed the plains in 1852, but the name of her husband at that time has never been recorded. It was a routine crossing—routine in its [p.283] hardships from hunger and disease. She helped lay in unmarked graves the bodies of her brother-in-law and of a cousin with her young baby, victims of cholera which raged in that year; she recalled giving to her father, Jacob John, two last teaspoons of cracker meal and a little coffee, pretending that she herself had already eaten that day. But those were hardships shared by many plains travellers. Her greatest test, a test of moral rather than physical strength, was yet in the future.
Treasures of Pioneer History — Vol. 1, p.283
For Louisa Bozarth was to be the victim of a cruel twist of fate. In 1847 thousands of earnest believers in Mormonism had fled from the persecutions of their neighbors in Missouri and had slogged their way across the plains to carve an empire in the Great Salt Lake Desert where they could be free to worship as they pleased. Mrs. Bozarth and her family had been untroubled by that early, bitter battle. They crossed to Oregon for reasons of their own—economic necessity, wanderlust, land-hunger—and yet far off on the shores of the Columbia the strange pull of Mormonism reached Louisa Bozarth and gave another turn to the wheel of history.
Treasures of Pioneer History — Vol. 1, p.283
In the years following her arrival, Mrs. Bozarth settled down in typically uncomplaining fashion to work out a pioneer livelihood. During the winter of 1852-53 she ran a boarding house on Second Street in Portland, then turned to teaching school for Peter Guild on the townsite that is now Guild's Lake. She even achieved some measure of distinction by being the first woman to ride on a railroad in Oregon, an honor extended her because she had been cook for the gang of laborers who built the Oregon Steam Navigation company's portage line at Cascades in 1861.
Treasures of Pioneer History — Vol. 1, p.283
It was in the year 1857 that Louisa A. Bozarth entered the pages of history. The events of a few months of that year provided the theater in which she rose out of the mass of pioneer women to stand separate and alone against the social forces of her time. If the drama of life is to be hinged on the major crisis, the vital decisions—as the Greek tragedians wrote it the year 1857 brought that opportunity to Mrs. Bozarth.
Treasures of Pioneer History — Vol. 1, p.283
On May 9, 1857, four young men stepped off the steamer "Columbia" at St. Helens intent on an earnest mission. David Stuart, Silas Higgins, Lorenzo Harmon and John Winslow were Mormon missionaries from Salt Lake City, sent out without "purse or script" to "open the Gospel dispensation in Oregon." They faced a dangerous undertaking. Oregon had been largely settled by immigrants from Illinois and Missouri, scenes of bloody battles between the Mormons and their "gentile" oppressors. Salt Lake City stood astride one immigrant route, and ugly tales of murder and robbery seeped out of the Mormon stronghold. For a decade the Oregon press had been filled with columns of type expressing hatred for the Joe Smith traitors. In 1854 a bill before the legislature [p.284] at Salem proposed exclusions of Chinese, Mormons and skunks from the territory. And by 1856, to culminate the long smoldering resentment, rumors began to link the Mormons with Indian uprisings in the eastern part of the territory. Reports that the Mormons were supplying arms from Salt Lake and sending emissaries among the tribes to incite them to war fell on receptive ears among a people whose every day existence was imperilled by the constant Indian threat.
Treasures of Pioneer History — Vol. 1, p.284
It was into this potential powder keg that the four missionaries stepped. They were greeted almost from the start with a hail of abuse and eggs of questionable vintage. Stuart in his journal relates that they were mobbed and egged in every town up the Willamette from Portland to Eugene. At Hillsboro a mob, under the leadership of the embattled Protestant clergy, drove them from town at gun-point and forbade them to return under the pain of death.
Treasures of Pioneer History — Vol. 1, p.284
The group made a stop in Clark County, Washington, and it was there Mrs. Bozarth accepted the faith, along with a few of her neighbors under the leadership of Daniel W. Gardener. Stuart, leader of the party and Higgins went on to preach on the Oregon side of the river, leaving Winslow and Harmon in Washington. Opposition quickly gathered. Under the pressure of persecution all but one of the recently converted Saints rejected the gospel and joined in the outcry against Mormonism. Winslow and Harmon were driven from the country at the point of the bayonet by a mob headed by priests and the apostate members, but Louisa Bozarth was made of sterner stuff. Against the taunts of a rough pioneer community which spared no pains for decency in attacking her, against even a husband in sympathy with the mob, she remained staunch.
Treasures of Pioneer History — Vol. 1, p.284
The good citizens of Lewis river expressed their regard for Mormonism in general and Mrs. Bozarth in particular in a resolution drawn up and presented to the "Oregonian." Published August 8, 1857, it is quoted at some length because of its revelation of the temper of the mob, especially in relation to the base type of attack to which Mrs. Bozarth was subjected.
Treasures of Pioneer History — Vol. 1, p.284
"Our community is now under considerable excitement, owing to the presence of some Salt Lake pirates…self styled missionaries…now lurking about…preaching some of the peculiar beauties of Mormonism. Since the arrival of the hocus-pocus actors,…four new converts were caught, who having been assured…she was 'to become the mother of many nations,' sticks with double-geared steam-concentrated adhesion. If she is to be the mother, who are to be the fathers ?
Treasures of Pioneer History — Vol. 1, p.284
"Knowing that Salt Lake Mormonism is treason, we are resolved that men shall not sow the seeds among us?¦. Are Oregon and Washington territories to have the seeds of this treasonable [p.285] heresy sown upon their soils ?…Remember that these Mormons are resolved to overthrow the government…Let our motto be: Our country first, our country last, our country always. No Mormonism of treason among us."
Treasures of Pioneer History — Vol. 1, p.285
That Mrs. Bozarth was the adhesive female referred to there can be no doubt. When Elder Stuart returned to Clark county to consolidate his small flock of converts he found the bitterest opposition and only one still faithful.
Treasures of Pioneer History — Vol. 1, p.285
Despite the opposition, Stuart and his group made some progress elsewhere in the territory and by fall of 1857 there were perhaps seventy converts scattered throughout the area. It is idle to deal in historical "ifs," but the possibility remains that, had the missionaries been allowed to continue their labors, the early statehood of Oregon history might have included a Mormon chapter. Certainly the life of Mrs. Bozarth would have been written differently. But events taking place a thousand miles distant were to break off abruptly the thread of Mormonism before it could be woven into the Oregon picture. In the fall of 1857, because of reported opposition to federal control in Utah, President Buchanan dispatched Colonel Albert S. Johnston at the head of a small army to Utah to reduce the church to obedience. Church President Brigham Young attempted to consolidate his forces by calling in all outlying settlements and missionary groups. The so-called "Utah War" was a bloodless one but among its results was the termination of the Mormon mission in Oregon and the evacuation to Utah to all those who maintained faith—all except one.
Treasures of Pioneer History — Vol. 1, p.285
From Stuart's journal and from the pioneer press we gather the exodus was not an untroubled one. Even after the trip was begun, the persecutions continued. The Oregon Statesman of March 16, 1858, records that the party of sixty or seventy had gone some 20 miles beyond Eugene City when they were overtaken by fifty armed men, "who took from the Mormons two young girls they were taking with them. The mothers of the girls were Mormons but objected to the taking away of their daughters. Such were the trials endured by pioneer women in the cause of religion in America, the sanctuary of religious freedom.
Treasures of Pioneer History — Vol. 1, p.285
Whether it required more moral courage to leave home and friends and journey to a new area or to remain alone in the face of such harsh Protestant sentiment is a moot question. Mrs. Bozarth, for reasons we can never know, stayed behind. Possibly her fear of social censure was outweighed by conjugal fidelity. Nor can we more than imagine what loneliness and soul-searching the following years brought. The vital thing is that through those long years, Mrs. Bozarth held her faith.
Treasures of Pioneer History — Vol. 1, p.285
For when, in 1886, a new generation of Mormons began to filter into the Oregon country, Louisa A. Bozarth, alone—her husband [p.286] and child having died, or left—welcomed the first arrivals with joyous tears. Among the first to come were Jens C. Westergaard and his wife converted in Denmark. He came to know Mrs. Bozarth intimately, and to him history is indebted for what remains of the story.
Treasures of Pioneer History — Vol. 1, p.286
Said he, "Say that she was much more than an intelligent, old lady with a grand sense of humor. Her memory and experience were remarkable. She used to converse with the Indians in their own jargon…She was really a queen of the pioneers."
Treasures of Pioneer History — Vol. 1, p.286
The evening of life seems to have been Mrs. Bozarth's most happy time. After many years of ridicule and abuse she was at last surrounded by friends who believed as she. Despite her age, she for many years made annual journeys to Salt Lake City for the purpose of working in the temple here.
Treasures of Pioneer History — Vol. 1, p.286
On June 20, 1911, Louisa A. Bozarth passed away. Her death was silent as her life. Bigotry and persecution followed her to her grave. Mormon hatred was still strong enough that the Church, to avoid disturbance, did not attend her funeral service. She was buried in Woodland, Washington, in semi-secrecy, and it was not for days that the church officials could visit the site to dedicate her grave under the shelter of night.

Kearney of the U.S. Army, now commanding the Army of the West, to visit the Mormon camp, and to accept the service for twelve months of four or five companies of Mormon men who may be willing to serve their country for that period in our present war with Mexico; this force to unite with the Army of the West at Santa Fe, and be marched thence to California, where they will be discharged.
"They will receive pay rations, and other allowances, such as other volunteers or regular soldiers receive, from the day they shall be mustered into the service, and will be entitled to all comforts and benefits of regular soldiers of the army, and when discharged as contemplated, at California, they will be given gratis their arms and accoutrements for which they will be fully equipped at Fort Leavenworth. This is offered to the Mormon people now. This is an opportunity of sending a portion of their young and intelligent men to the ultimate destination of their whole people, and entirely at the expense of the United States, and this advanced party can thus pave the way and look out for the land for their brethren to come after them.
"Those of the Mormons who are desirous of serving their country, on the conditions here enumerated, are requested to meet me without delay at their principal camp at Council Bluffs, whither I am going to consult with their principal men, and to receive and organize the force contemplated to be raised.
"I will receive all healthy, able-bodied men from eighteen to forty-five years of age."
J. Allen, Captain 1st Dragoons
