From the Autobiographical sketch of Ether Enos McBride.
[Ether Enos McBride was born in 1848.]
In 1862 we moved to Ogden Valley and there were lots of Indians there. It was a beautiful valley, covered with grass and we could mow hay in almost any part of the valley. We had to cut our hay with scythes, as there were no mowing machines at that time. A good many people moved into the valley that year, Huntsville got to be quite a settlement as there were a great many Scandinavians settled in the north end of the valley.
