During the fifties, some of the Ute Indians, who lived in and around Ogden part of each year went to battle against another tribe. In the skirmish a Piute Indian squaw and her nine months old papoose were taken prisoners. The squaw made her escape and joined her own people, but the papoose was purchased from the Indians by Ann Blythe Barker — mother of Sarah Barker Moore, the wife of David Moore — for a pair of blankets and some flour.

Two or three years later the Indian mother learned of the whereabouts of her child. Each year thereafter for several years she called at the Barker home for the little girl but the child refused to go with her. Mrs. Barker named the Indian baby Rhoda. Little Soldier called often to see how she was being cared for. Through this act of kindness, the Indians and the white settlers became much more friendly. Rhoda continued to live as a member of the Barker family until she was fourteen or fifteen years old when she died of tuberculosis.
