A member of the first pioneer group to enter the Salt Lake Valley on July 22, 1847.

Appleton Harmon - Captain of Tenth Ten

Appleton Harmon was an experienced mechanic and it was he who constructed the famous roadometer invented by William Clayton and used by the pioneer company to measure the distance traveled by a computation of wheel revolutions. He was born May 29, 1820 at Conneaut, Pennsylvania, the son of Jesse P. Harmon and Anna Barnes. He married Elmeda Stringham in Nauvoo, Illinois. The following was taken from his journal:

"Heavy draft for men to carry on the Mexican War, without a place to lay our heads, the task laying on our shoulders of finding a future resting place for those worn-out Saints. Thus in our forlorn condition, by request of Brother Kimball, I left my wife, child, father and brothers-my wife with her father's folks-and I started on the 17th of April with the pioneers and drove a team for Brother Heber C. Kimball.... I completed a roadometer and attached it to the wheel of the wagon by which we could tell each night the distance traveled through the day. We arrived at Fort Laramie the end of June and from the fort procured a flat boat in which we crossed the Platte to the south side, and proceeded on through the Black Hills until we came again to the Platte, making something like 600 miles that we had followed the course of this river. Here we had to recross it which took eight or nine days during which time we made a kind of ferry boat. Most of our company was ferried over by means of ropes and a small boat we had brought with us ... We cleared about $70 each ferrying over Oregon immigrants. By this time the river became fordable and we remained waiting for the arrival of our emigration company ... We remained here until the 26th of August, the long looked for companies having arrived and passed; we also have heard from the remainder of the pioneers that they had proceeded via Fort Bridger to the Valley of the Great Salt Lake and there settled upon a permanent settlement, the destined place of our future home.

"We started to return to Winter Quarters for our families, traveling through the Black Hills we hunted game and killed ourselves one antelope, one deer, one elk and arrived at Fort Laramie about the 3rd of September, when an inducement was held out to me of $300 a year for my services if I would accept it to work at my new trade of blacksmithing; having, during our impatient wait at the ferry, used the tools, coals and irons that would otherwise have lain idle and by so doing I acquired a practical knowledge sufficient to enable me to take charge of the work at the fort. On the 4th of September commenced and worked until the first of March, 1848. On the first day of March, I, with several others, started for Winter Quarters. I had an Indian pony on which I packed my bedding, provisions, etc., and with my gun on my shoulder, made my way homeward. We depended upon the wild beasts of the prairie for our support and our rifles with our sharp shooting to bring them within our reach.... On the 26th of March I arose at daybreak, saddled my horse and started. Arrived at Winter Quarters about 1 o'clock. Found my people all well and my wife at her father's. As soon as she saw me she began to weep. Looked for the cause, could not see my little boy and on enquiring was told that he was dead. Appleton Harmon Jr. was his name. He died September 20, 1847 at Winter Quarters."

After his return to the Valley in 1848 with his family Mr. Harmon filled a mission to England from 1850-1853. He later assisted in the erection of sawmills in Salt Lake, Millard and Washington counties, built a furniture factory at Toquerville and a woolen mill at Washington, Washington county. In these two important enterprises, he supervised the setting up of the machinery. During the later years of his life he made his home in Holden, Millard county where he died February 27, 1877.

Among the resident farmers of Thornapple township none occupy a higher place than R. Harper. Suffolkshire, in England, gave him birth in the year 1813, and, although his parents were of the poorer class, they accounted among the most industrious and esteemed members of the community in which they lived. At the age of about fifty the father, Charles Harper, determined to make an effort towards bettering his prospects, and with his family set sail, in 1829, for Canada. His family consisted of himself, wife, and ten children, and of these latter was R. Harper, who, from the age of eleven, had managed to eke out his own livelihood. His first year's labor on his own behalf yielded him but one pound, and upon his arrival in Canada-Quebec being the place chosen by the elder Harper as a location-the lad obtained employment with a farmer at seven dollars a month. Thus he labored a year or more, and then, learning the "States" offered better inducements, proceeded thither with and elder brother and resumed his farming experience upon a place near Ogdensburg, in St. Lawrence Co., N. Y. There he tarried two years, and in 1834 took service as a laborer with Silas Ball, of Rochester, N. Y., for whom he worked at first for eight dollars a month, and so faithfully did he attend to his duties and increase his value that he remained with Mr. Ball nine years, and was receiving at the close of his term the then excellent pay of one dollar a day. Having saved a snug sum, he bought forty acres near Rochester, and after materially improving the property exchanged it for one hundred and sixty acres in Thornapple township, Barry Co., upon which he has ever since made his home. In 1837 he married Mary Colby (born in Heniker, Chelshire Co., N. H., in 1809, and successively a resident, with her parents, of Schoharie County and Rochester, N. Y.), and in the spring of 1844 they moved westward to take possession of their Michigan wilderness, upon which not a single axe-stroke had been delivered. In the midst of the dense forest they set up their rude log cabin, labored heroically and energetically in the work of winning a comfortable home, slowly but surely progressing in the task as the years moved on, and in their declining years enjoyed the well-earned satisfaction of knowing that for the toils of early life they are now reaping the reward of happy ease. The Harper farm is one of the best in the county, and the Harper residence-of which a view may be seen in this work-an ornament to the town.

Mr. and Mrs. Harper have been active members of the Baptist Church in Middleville since that church was organized, and during that extended period they have ever been regarded as exemplary exponents of that faith, contributing, moreover, with generous liberality to the support of the organization, and especially towards the erection of a house of worship. Four children have been born to them, but of these four only one has been spared. Eliza A., who was born Feb. 11, 1838, died Jan. 17, 1860; Laura J., born June 25, 1843, died Oct. 1, 1846; George A. Born Feb. 22, 1849, died March 27, 1877; Charles E., born Sept. 16, 1853, still lives to cheer the evening of his parents' lives, and even as he prizes and appreciates the privilege of staying and comforting them, so they, rejoicing in the possession of a son's devotion, are calmly grateful to Heaven and consent to descend the hill of life by easy and pleasant paths.
