Baptism Date: 21 September 1838 Lucian, MO, USA. Ordained Seventy 1844 at Nauvoo, Hancock, Illinois. Ordained High Priest: 1862; Ordained Bishop: 15 November 1862 by Orson Pratt; Ordained Patriarch.
He spent his earliest years in Holland, Erie, New York. Daniel's family joined the LDS Church in 1832. He wrote: "My parents joined the Church in the spring of 1833, and I believing the doctrines taught, became a member. He went to Kirtland in 1836. He went to Pike County, Missouri in 1838. He was involved with the mob activities in Missouri, 1838, 1839. He went to Quincy, Illinois in 1839. His first wife died in 1844. He moved to Nauvoo, Illinois in 1844, after the death of the Prophet Joseph Smith. Preparing to leave Nauvoo, he was engaged in wagon building and other occupations. He married Matilda C. Fuller in the Nauvoo Temple, February 1, 1846. In a day or two afterwards they crossed the Mississippi river on the ice and passed to the general camp ground of the LDS people on Sugar Creek. Then they traveled to Garden Grove. Here, at Winter Quarters, he built houses and fenced five hundred acres of land for the poor, who were unable to go further. Bridge building, road making, etc., were necessary occupations for them on their way to the Missouri river. He went to Iowa in 1846. In the spring of 1846 one of his brothers joined the Mormon Battalion. He remained with his father and family until 1848, when they crossed the plains, arriving in Salt Lake City in the fall of that year. He was involved with the Indian problems, 1849-1950. He served an LDS Mission to England, 1852-56. Daniel wrote, "I was called on a mission to Europe in 1852, and succeeded Andrew Ferguson in the presidency of the Dundee conference, in Scotland. Being released early in 1856, I was chosen second counselor to Elder James Ferguson, who presided over the Saints who crossed the Atlantic in the ship "Enoch Train." Reaching Iowa, a hand-cart company was given into my charge. By the blessings of God I landed safely in Salt Lake City, October 2nd of said year, with all my passengers."
"January 4, 1858, I was set apart as the senior president of the 57th quorum of Seventy. At the general conference held in October, 1861, I was called on a mission to settle in "Our Dixie." Thus I became one of the first settlers of St. George."
"In 1862, I was ordained a High Priest and called to act as first counselor to Bishop Robert Gardener. November 15, 1862, I was ordained a Bishop by Apostle Orson Pratt and set apart to preside over the Third Ward, St. George."
"In 1863 I was appointed to take charge of a train of sixty wagons (ox teams) and teamsters and go to the Missouri river to bring in the poor. May 14, 1864, I was elected a member of the High Council of the St. George Stake of Zion. I served in that capacity until September 15, 1869, when I was called to act as presiding Bishop in Southern Utah. In 1866 I was called to make another trip to the Missouri river after the poor, but was released by Bishop Edward Hunter, in order that I might attend to other duties."
"In 1868 I was again called to go with teams to the frontiers and bring in the poor Saints. I performed this mission to the satisfaction of the First Presidency. June 4, 1877, I was called on another mission to Great Britain, and labored principally in the Manchester conference. Returning home, I acted as first counselor to Elder Henry W. Naisbitt in leading a company of Saints home to Zion. We arrived in Salt Lake City, October 3, 1878."
"March 20, 1881, I was set aprt as second counselor to President John D.T. McAllister, president of the St. George Stake of Zion."
"September 26, 1888, I was unanimously chosen by the Council of Apostles to succeed President McAllister in the presidency of the St. George Stake, and to that position I was set apart by Apostle John W. Taylor, December 17, 1888."
"During the anti-pologamy raids I was hunted for six years. The officers succeeded in finding me in April, 1890, and in order to save my family from exposure, insult and insolence of court officials, I pleaded guilty to the charge of unlawful cohabitation, and was fined $321.00, which was promptly paid."
"Having almost totally lost my eyesight, I was honorably released from the presidency of the St. George Stake, June 14, 1901, and ordained a Patriarch in the Church. And now, in conclusion, I bear this my solemn testimony: God has in these last days spoken from the heavens and organized His Church through the instrumentality of the Prophet, Joseph Smith. He has also spoken through his [Joseph's] successors until the present time; and to God and the Lamb be all praise forever. Amen."
His autobiography includes blessings and genealogical material up to the 1890's. In 1870 Daniel had a household of nine, a real wealth of $1000 and a personal wealth of $2000.
Daniel was president of the St. George Stake of Zion from 1888 to 1901.
DANIEL DUNCAN McARTHUR
(1820-1908)
DANIEL DUNCAN McARTHUR, son of Duncan McArthur and Susan McKeen, was born 8 Apr. 1820, Holland, Erie, New York; died 3 June 1908, St. George, Washington, Utah; buried June 1908, St. George Cemetery, Washington, Utah; married (1) 14 Jun 1841, Cordelia Jane Clark; married (2) 14 Dec 1845, Caroline Fuller; married (3) 24 Jan 1846, Matilda A. Fuller; married (4 and 5) 13 Feb 1858, Mary Brice Hill and Elizabeth Bullock, in the Salt Lake Endowment House, Utah; married (6) 1872, Mary Frances Calloway.
Daniel moved with his parents from New York to Kirtland, Ohio, in 1836. There he met the Prophet Joseph Smith who taught him the gospel. He was made a captain of a company of Saints when only eighteen, at the time the saints were driven from Kirtland. A group of 550 people moved from Ohio to Adam-ondi-Ahman, Davis County, Missouri. In 1838 Daniel was baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in the Missouri River. After residing there a short period of time they received a threat of extermination in ten days, and the saints there moved to Far West, Missouri, for three months. In the Spring of 1839 Daniel and his parent's family moved to Quincy, Illinois. While there his father was sent on a two year mission. Daniel and his younger brothers took care of the large family.
In 1841 he married Cordelia Jane Clark. Daniel and his wife stayed at Quincy, where as the rest of his family moved to Nauvoo. While at Quincy his wife died. After the death of the Prophet Joseph Smith, Daniel went to Nauvoo to live. In 1845 he was ordained a Seventy. On 14 Dec 1845 he married Matilda Caroline Fuller. While in Nauvoo Daniel was appointed to be a policeman, and was engaged in wagon building and other occupations.
On 1 Feb 1846 he and his wife were endowed and sealed in the Nauvoo Temple. A few days later they crossed the Mississippi River on the ice, and passed to the general camp of Saints on Sugar Creek. Thence, they traveled to Garden Grove. Her they built houses and fenced five hundred acres of land for the poor, who were unable to go further at this time. Bridge building, road making, etc., were part of the necessary jobs for the first company who made their exodus from Nauvoo, on their journey to the Missouri River.
Daniel was captain of 500 Saints during the winters of 1846 and 1847 at Winter Quarters, Nebraska. In 1846 one of his brothers joined the Mormon Battalion. Daniel remained behind with his father and family until 1848. In the Spring of 1848 Daniel led his company of Saints from Winter Quarters to the Salt Lake Valley, arriving in Sept. 1848.
Daniel was called on a mission to Europe in 1852, and succeeded Andrew Ferguson in the Presidency of the Dundee Conference, in Scotland. He was released early in 1856, and was chosen second counselor to Elder James Ferguson, who presided over the Saints who crossed the Atlantic Ocean in the ship Enoch Train. When they finally reached Iowa, a hand-cart company was given to his charge. He was set apart as Captain of his company, which consisted of 250 souls, five wagons, 100 handcarts, 24 oxen, and 4 mules. Many of the people were quite old, but he put his full trust in the Lord. He joined the Ellsworth Company, and the two went to the Salt Lake Valley together. President Young and many leading citizens met them with Pitts Band. Daniel said it was not all unpleasant during the three months of travel. They had their pleasant times. At night the handcarts were formed in a circle and on the inside a fire was built. They sang and danced, and thanked the Lord for their safe arrival thus far.
During the years 1856 and 1857 he served as a home missionary. In the Spring of 1857 he was called to go back to Devil's Gate on the Sweetwater to bring in the saints who started out too tale in 1856. These saints had suffered much with hunger and cold, and attacks by Indians during the Winter months. He made the trip safely and returned in August.
In 1857 Brigham Young called on the old Nauvoo Legion to organize themselves, because of impending danger to soldiers from the US Government. Daniel was chosen a major over a battalion. They drilled and got themselves in readiness. In the fall of 1857 he was ordered to go with his battalion into Echo Canyon to stop Johnson's army, which he did. They were in the canyon most all the winter of 1857 and part of 1858. After they came to an understanding with President Young, and the army moved to Cedar Valley, Utah County, Utah.
On 13 Feb 1858 he married Elizabeth Bullock in the Salt Lake Endowment House, Utah. Shortly afterwards Daniel and his battalion were dismissed. He then was asked to go to Utah County to help build up this area. He helped build canals, roads, cleared land for farming, and planted drops. He remained here until 1861.
At the General Conference in October 1861, Daniel was called on a mission to settle in "our Dixie" in Southern Utah. Thus he became one of the first settlers of St. George, Utah. He helped to lay out the city lots. In 1862 he was ordained a High Priest, and called to serve as first counselor to Bishop Robert Gardener. On 15 Nov. 1862 he was ordained a Bishop by Apostle Orson Pratt and set apart to preside over the Third Ward in St. George. In 1863 he was appointed to take charge of a train of sixty wagons, ox teams, and teamsters and go to the Missouri River to bring in the poor Saints.
On 14 May 1864 he was chosen a member of the High Council of the St. George Stake of Zion. He served in that capacity until 15 Sept. 1869, when he was called to act as presiding Bishop in Southern Utah. In 1868 he was called upon to go with teams to the frontiers and bring in more poor Saints, which mission he honorably fulfilled.
On 4 Jun 1877 Daniel was called on another mission to Great Britain, and labored principally in the Manchester conference. Returning home he acted as first counselor to Elder Henry W. Naisbitt in leading a company of Saints to Zion. They arrived in Salt Lake City, Utah, on 3 Oct 1878. On 20 Mar 1881 Daniel was set apart as second counselor to President John D. T. McAllister, President of the St. George Stake. On 26 Sept 1888 he was chosen as President of the St. George Stake, and was set apart by Apostle John W. Taylor on 17 Dec. 1888. He served honorable in this position until his release on 14 Jun 1901; when he was ordained a Patriarch for that Stake.
At various times he served to do military and police duty, notably during the troublous times at Nauvoo, Illinois. In Utah during the Walker, Ute, and Navajo raids and wars he took part; also in the so-called Buchanan war. He served for some time as major under General Daniel H. Wells, and was afterwards commissioned colonel of infantry by Governor Durkee. During the anti-polygamy raids he was hunted for six years. The officers succeeded in finding him in April 1890. In order to save his family from exposure, insult and insolence of court officials, he pleaded guilty to the charge of unlawful cohabitation, and was fined $321.00, which he promptly paid.
Daniel served well and faithful to the end. He died on 3 Jun 1908, at St. George, Utah; and was buried there.
Who Was Daniel D?
written by granddaughter, Nellie M. Gubler, reprinted from the Ancestor Square newspaper
Daniel D., a name that stands out in the history of the LDS Church and more especially in the history of Southern Utah, was a man of courage, fortitude and endurance. His sojourn on earth spanned 88 years (April 8, 1820 - June 3, 1908). His journey took him from his birthplace in Holland, Erie Co., New York to Scrub Grass Co. on the Allegheny River in New York to Kirtland, Ohio; Far West in Caldwell Co. and Adam-ondi-ahman in Davis Co., Missouri; thence to Nauvoo, Illinois and Carthage, Sugar Creek, Winter and Summer Quarters in Nebraska; across the continent to fill a mission to Europe (and more especially to Scotland where he presided over the Dundee Conference); West again to Salt Lake City; Southward to Pleasant Grove, Utah; and eventually further South to St. George, Utah in which place he made a permanent home for himself and families..
It was when he was 11 years old and chopping wood for the family, that his axe hit an apple limb and glanced, striking his right foot at the instep and cutting it pretty much off, which caused him to lose the use of his toes. Dan had to accept responsibility early in life. He accepted the Gospel in his heart at the early age of 12 when he first met the Prophet Joseph Smith while out chopping wood for his parents, though he was not actually baptized until six years later.
It was while helping to build up the city of Adam-ondi-ahman in Missouri in 1838 that the Saints were harassed unmercifully by the mobs and told that they would "catch hell" if they settled there. The mob proceeded to carry out their threats but the Saints stood their ground and scattered the mob who fled in every direction, never stopping to untie the halters on their horses. They cut them loose and got out of sight immediately, leaving their cannon balls, a keg of powder, a cannon stalk, wagon and harnesses, but couldn't find a barrel for the cannon. The Mormon boys kept hunting for the barrel but were unsuccessful in their search. About that time an old sow pig came ambling down the middle of the road and went to rooting the ground up in hog fashion and lo and behold, there lay the old barrel! The boys did some shouting and celebrating. They loaded up the cannon and started for Diahman. While on their way back a member of the mob, thinking that he was with his group, found his mistake too late and David Patten, the leader of the Mormons, invited him to ride and consequently he rode astride the cannon, bearing the resemblance of a prisoner until within the city and was then released.
While en route home from his mission to Scotland in 1856 at the age of 36, Daniel D. was assigned to head the Second Handcart Company to Zion and left, after much preparation, Iowa City on June 11 - two days after the Edmund Ellsworth Company. These two companies passes each other at various times during the journey but both companies arrived in Salt Lake City on September 26, and went into the city together, McArthur Company trailing Ellsworth Company because of the request made by Brigham Young that the Ellsworth Company be the first to enter since he had left Iowa City first. Also it might be stated here that Brother Ellsworth was a son-in-law of Brigham Young's, having married President Young's oldest daughter.
Daniel D., being a Major in the Nauvoo Legion or Territorial Militia, was called upon to help keep Johnson's Army in the mountains during the winter of 1857-1858 and later was commanded by General Daniel H. Wells June 2, 1858 to gather up his forces and go to Salt Lake City to water the crops which had been left when the people moved South at the time that Johnson's Army were to travel through the Salt Lake valley, without stopping, and go on to Camp Floyd in Cedar Valley. Had the army not complied, the whole Salt Lake Valley would have been burned and left in a heap of ashes, for the Saints had made a firm decision not to be plundered again. Also, during his settlement and pioneering work, Daniel D. served in the Blackhawk and other Indian uprisings, acting as Major under General Daniel H. Wells and a Colonel of Infantry under Governor Durkee. Daniel D. also made several trips East to the Missouri River to bring in emigrating Saints.
At the October Conference in 1861, Daniel D. and his three wives and children were called to go to Dixie and help build up that part of the territory. They arrived in early December. A note in the Annals of the Southern Utah Mission by Historian James G. Bleak gives this bit of information - Vol. 1, page 79 - "Tuesday, 24th of December 11861, Daniel D. McArthur and wife Mary Hill McArthur had a little daughter born in the St. George Valley. This was the first white child born in the St. George Valley and was subsequently named Margaret. She died 24th February 1863." (At the time she was born, the Saints were camped at the old Adobe Yard, about where the Dixie College Campus is now located.)
Daniel D. was Presiding Bishop of the Southern Settlements for some time. In 1862 he was ordained a High Priest and appointed First Counselor to Robert Gardner, Bishop of St. George. On November 15, 1862 he was appointed Bishop of the Third Ward in St. George. On May 14, 1864 he was appointed to the High Council. He was the next largest donor to Brigham Young on the St. George Temple and had two teams and teamsters on the job from the beginning. Brigham Young, wishing to hurry up the completion of the Temple asked Daniel D. to put on third team and said, "I have a surprise for you when the Temple is finished." Daniel D. wa always obedient to the leaders of the Church and hired another teamster and team. True to his word, President Young did have a surprise for him. Daniel D. was called on another mission to Europe, this time to England. He filled this assignment to the very best of his ability and when returning home was assigned First Counselor to H. W. Naisbit to bring another company of Saints to Zion, arriving in Salt Lake City October 3, 1878. Daniel D. and his grown sons not only donated time and money for the St. George Temple and Tabernacle, but also sent money to help build the Salt lake Temple.
On March 20, 1881 Daniel D. was made Second Counselor to J.D.T. (John Daniel Thompson) McAllister, President of the St. George Stake. After six months he was called as President of the Stake (September 26, 1881) and served in that capacity for 18 years, choosing as counselors David H. Cannon and Anthony W. Ivins. When Brother Ivins was called to Mexico, Daniel D. chose Erastus Snow, Jr. to fill the vacancy and said it was a wise choice. On June 4, 1901, because he had lost his eyesight, he was released from the St. George Stake Presidency and sustained as Patriarch, serving in this capacity until June 3, 1908 at the time of his death.

Returning Missionary: MCARTHUR, Daniel D. <1821>
Age: 35 Occ: Minister
Note: BMR, p.64
Ship: Enoch Train Date of Departure: 23 Mar 1856 Port of Departure: Liverpool, England
LDS Immigrants: 534 Church Leader: James Ferguson
Date of Arrival: 1 May 1856 Port of Arrival: Boston, Massachussettes
Source(s): BMR, Book #0145, pp. 64-90 (FHL #023,691)
Notes: "DEPARTURES. . . . The ship Enoch Train, Captain Henry P. Rich, cleared on Saturday the 22nd ultimo, hence for Boston, with 534 souls of the Saints on board, of whom 19 were from the Swiss, 4 from the Cape of Good Hope, and 2 from the East India Missions, all under the presidency of Elder James Ferguson, Edmund Ellsworth, and Daniel D. McArthur. Among the distinguished personages on board we may name Elder Truman Leonard, from Bombay -- East India mission, who arrived in Liverpool on the 9th of March. He has had a long and arduous mission in a country where the climate has much impaired his health, and where the benighted condition of the people have prevented him from reaping much fruit from his labors. Also Elder Nathan T. Porter, who was appointed with Elder Stevenson, on a mission to Gibraltar, but who, being prevented from remaining there, returned to England in 1853, since which he has labored with great faithfulness in the Reading and Worcestershire Conferences, and he has presided over the latter during the past year. The company also included the following elders from the British Mission, presidents of conferences, &c. -- Elders Spieer W. Crandall, John D. T. McAllister, John A. Hunt, Edward Frost, Robert Parker, Andrew Galloway, William Heaton, Walter Grainger, and Samuel Hargraves. This is the first shipload of emigrants for Utah by the P. [Perpetual] E. [Emigration] Fund this season. The day was delightfully pleasant, and all things connected with the clearing of this company seemed peculiarly auspicious. Her Majesty's officers had a word of admiration to express at the excellence of the arrangements which marked the embarkation of this first company who expect to cross the plains with handcarts. The elders on board seemed to feel the responsibility that rests upon them, and the whole was rendered particularly pleasing and cheerful by the performances of the band that goes out from Birmingham, which will be a means of much comfort to the journeying Saints. The Lord bless all who bless them, and set his hand against those who afflict or hinder them in their great work of gathering. . . ."
"THE ENOCH TRAIN. -- This ship sailed from Liverpool on the 23rd of last March, and arrived at Boston on the 30th of April, after a voyage of 39 days. Although the passage was somewhat lengthy, it appears to have been pleasant and agreeable. We have received an interesting report from Elder James Ferguson, president of the company of Saints who sailed in the Enoch Train, but it came to late for insertion in this Number of the Star. It will appear in the next."
"NINETY-THIRD COMPANY, -- Enoch Train, 534 souls. On Saturday, March 22, 1856, the ship Enoch Train, Captain Henry P. Rich, cleared from Liverpool, and sailed on the twenty-third, bound for Boston, with five hundred and thirty-four Saints on board, under the presidency of Elders James Ferguson, Edmund Ellsworth and Daniel D. McArthur. Of the emigrating Saints nineteen were from the Swiss Mission, four from the Cape of Good Hope, two from Denmark and two from the East India Mission. The company also included the first emigrants for Utah by the P. [Perpetual] E. [Emigration] Fund in 1856 -- who were to cross the plains with handcarts. There were four hundred and thirty-one of these emigrants, and one hundred and three called 'ordinary' passengers. The following named elders who had labored faithfully as missionaries in Great Britain, sailed with this company: Spicer W. Crandall, John D. T McAllister, John A. Hunt, J. Nathan, T. Porter (all Utah elders), Edward Frost, Robert Parker, Andrew Galloway, William Heaton, Walter Granger and Samuel Hargraves. Also Truman Leonard, who was returning home from the East India Mission. The following incidents of the voyage are culled from a letter written by the presideny of the company and published in the Millennial Star, Vol. XVIII, p.353: While the ship was lying at anchor at Liverpool, Friday night, March 21, Mary Ann, wife of Elder Thomas Lyon, was delivered of a daughter, who was named Christina Enoch. On Saturday, the twenty-second, the presidency called together and organized the ship's company into five wards, with John A. Hunt, Nathan T. Porter, Andrew Galloway, Spicer W. Crandall and Truman Leonard as presidents; John D. T. McAllister was appointed captain of the guard and clerk of the company. On Monday, the twenty-fourth, Agnes, wife of Samuel Hargraves, was delivered of a son, named Enoch Train, and later in the day Elizabeth, wife of William Johnston, gave birth to a son named Hamilton. On Monday, the thirty-first, Esther Devereaux died of consumption, aged sixty-nine years. On the seventeenth of April, Mary, wife of James Sheen, was delivered of a son. On the twenty-fourth, Jane Clotworthy, aged two years, died of consumption of the bowels. The voyage throughout was a very pleasant one, and the captain and other ship officers were very kind to the emigrants. On Thursday, May1st, at eight a.m., the ship arrived at Constitution wharf, Boston, and at four o'clock p.m., the following day, the passengers disembarked the went by nine omnibuses to the railway station. They started by train at five p.m., for New York, where they arrived on the third of May. After a short stay in New York, where a few of the passengers remained temporarily, the company continued the journey by rail to Iowa City, where they arrived on the tenth of June. The emigration agents found it advantageous, in 1856, to send most of the P. E. Fund Passengers via Boston, as those who passed directly through, without settling in the State of Massachusetts, were not charged the usual amount of one dollar for head money, which was required to be paid for all persons who stopped to reside in that State. The P. E. Fund emigrants who crossed the Atlantic in the Enoch Train, were forwarded from Boston to Iowa City, via New York, for eleven dollars and fifty cents per head for adults -- those over fourteen years old; and five dollars and seventy-five cents were paid for children between the ages of four and fourteen; those under four years went free. One hundred pounds of luggage was allowed for each adult, and fifty pounds for each child over three years old. Owing to competition between the railway companies, the price for adult passengers from Boston to Iowa City was subsequently reduced to ten dollars, and children in proportion. (Millennial Star, Vol. XVIII, pp.217, 356, 378, 414, 542; Deseret News, Vol. VI, pp.160, 166)"
"Sun. 23. [Mar. 1855] -- The ship Enoch Train sailed from Liverpool, England, with 534 Saints, under the direction of James Ferguson. It arrived at Boston May 1st. From that city the emigrants traveled by rail via New York to Iowa City, Iowa, whence the journey across the plains this year was commenced by wagons and handcarts. Daniel Spencer acted as general superintendent of emigration on the borders, assisted by George D. Grant, William H. Kimball, James H. Hart and others."
