He [Sidney David Allen] married MARGARET ANN COOPER. Her father planted the first fruit trees in Ogden. They lived upon the Weber River where they were sent as missionaries to the Indians. One day Margaret Ann was going somewhere on horseback when she was chased by the Indians. When they finally caught her they pulled her off her horse and the leader took a look at her and said, “Hell, Cooper’s Papoose”. They turned her loose. He was very well thought of by the Indians.
