Co. On arrival at Salt Lake City, settled at mouth of Mill

in Dixie 12 July 1862. It was a bleak, dark, dreary, forsaken looking
place and we felt we had got nearly to the jumping off
place."(Margaret
Jane Ellison Taylor) They first lived at Harrisburg. Next they
movedto a
little settlement called New Harmony. Allen & William Riley
wereasked to help
with the building of the St. George Temple. It was started in 1871and
completed and dedicated 6 April 1877. The Dixie country was
fastbecoming
so thickly populated that Allen and William Riley Taylor decided
itwould be
best for them and their families to move to another locality so
therewould be
more room for their large families and livestock. They also wanted
tobe able
to have their children settle close by them. So in 1881,
WilliamRiley and
family again loaded their wagons with their belongings and moved
fromNew
Harmony to what was then knwon as Rabbit Valley. (They raised
sheephere.)
Called Loa, Fremont, Utah, in 1883. Died at Loa. (some of this
