Amos S. Warren was not a very large man, but what he lacked in this respeact, he made up for in strong musculr developement. He had dark piercing eyes and black hair. He also wore a mustache. While he was a young man, he had a tintype picture made of himself standing beside his anvil. His hat bri is turned back in front, and his sleeves are rolled up, showing his strong arm muscles. Looking at this picture one can almost believe that Longfellow had him in mind when he penned the words in his famous poem" The Village Blacksmith" The first two verses describe him so very well. they are as follows. Under the spreading chesnut tree The village smithy stands; The smith, a might man is he with large and sinewy hands Are as strong as iron bands. His hair is crips, and black, and long, His face is like the tan; His brow is wet with honest sweat, He earns whate're he can; And looks the whole world in the face For he owes not any man In addition to the blacksmith trade, he was a carpenter, and done all kinds of wood work, such as making tables, cabinets, and many beds. He built houses, and when the necessity arose, he was able to supply, those who needed one, a coffin in which to bury their dead. He homesteaded a farm in Springville, but because he was away from home a great deal during his early life, he rented the farm to others until Amos Benoni and John, his two sons, were old enough to farm it. Amos possessed a rather sentimental nature, and kept things which were full of memories to him. Among his keepsakes are some of the nails which he made on his anvil. Those are cumbersome things compared to the the ones we have today, being made with thick square heads. There is also a honey-capping knife he made to use in gathering the honey from the many hives of bees which he kept the latter part of his life. Also among these things is a printed business envelope bearing the following inscription: A.S.Warren Dealer in All kinds of honey Springville, Utah This envelope is postmarked May 20, 1898 from twin bridges, Montana. There is also an old bullet mould among these things. Tea was brought into the valley in casks lined with heavy tinfoil. This tinfoil was melted down and poured into the mould making a round bullet which was used for ammuntion. There is also a tool which has two prongs, sharpened on each end. This tool was used to husk corn, the prongs being used to slide down each side of an ear of corn tearing the husk away. Here too is his old tool chest. These things are being cared for and preserved by the family of his son John R. Warren in Salem Utah. Like all other pioneer communities, Springville had its share of Indian disturbaces; and, though the pioneers did all in their power to live at piece with the red man, they were constantly in fear of an outbreak of hostilities. Amos S. died on the 11 October, 1909 and Abigail died on the 27th of January, 1915. They are buried in the Springville City Cemetry. Utah Their children 1.

The season was the beautiful hazy autumn, with its enchanting hues overing hilll and dale, mountain peak, and valley Bright and early on the morning of the 19th the hardy pioneers were up and doing. While the mothers and daughters prepared the first meal of the day, the male portion hung grind stones and sharpened scythes preparitory to the haymaking from the wild grasses which grew luxuriantly in every direction. Axes were prepared and wagons were selected to go into the mountains for logs with which to build a fort to protect themselves, not only from the wintery snows which would soon cover the valley, but from the wild natives who than roved unmolested in the land. The fort was built in a aquare with six houses on each side, joined together at the corners, with doors and windows opening into the court yard. The roofs over all were covered with clay. There were two large gates, one on the east side and one on the west side, which were the only means of ingress and egress. Before the storms of winter set in the fort was completed, and the pilgrims were once more in a home which was indeed their castle, that protected them from the blasts of winter and from the forays of the painted warrior. Twenty five families spent the winter in the fort. In the meantime, while the building of the fort was going on the women and children were busy gathering berries. By winter bushels of ground cherries, choke cherries, and service berries were dried. At the time the Warren family arrived in Springville Amos S. was ninteen years of age. While living in New York, he had known and thought a great deal of a girl whose name wa Abigail Ardilla Childs, and he was rather reluctant to part from her when his family decided to come west. His sister Mary had remarked to him before leaving that she wa sure that somedayshe would see him with Abiagail again. Abigail was the daughter of Moses and Polly Patten Childs and perhaps it was merely chance or perhaps destiny that when the Childs family came to the valley that they too chose Springville as their home. Here Abigail and Amos S. did meet again and were married on New Years day. 1 Jan. 1853. They lived to celebrate their golden wedding anniversay and on that day had their picture taken on the same spot where they had been married 50 years before. It is a picture treasured by the families of their descendents. After their marriage Amos S. and Abiail made their home for several years in a part log, part frame, two room house with a lean to attached to the rear of the place. When their family grew too large for this house, he built a larger one. They became the parents of ten children, three of whom died when they were small. one daughter, Polly Dallin, is still living at the time of the writing of this history, Nov. 1851. Much of the history contained in this information was obtained from Polly, and Althea Fullmer, both daughters of Amos S. Altha Jarvis and Ariel Perry, daughters of Amos son Benoni, and from a daughter of John, brother of Benoni, and son of Amos S. >From his mother's side of the family Amos seemed to have inherited a natural trait for the blacksmithing trade and this was the trade he followed during his active life.

Sarah's eldest son John W. did not come to Utah with this co. Whilde a goodly portion of the wagons in this company were drawn by horses there were Ox teams used also and on one wagon of Arron Johson's two yoke of cows were used. We do not know for sure if the Warren family used teams of oxen or horses. In the box of keepsakes kept by Amos S. there is a shoe which has been worn by an ox across the plains. It is either a shoe made in two seperate pieces or else it had been worn completely through in the center. Seeing how it has been worn, in some places almost paper thin, it is not hard to imagine the rugged terrain which the company covered to reach their destination. Upon their arrival in Salt Lake Valley on the 2nd of Sept. 1850 they were met on Pioneer or Emigration Square by William Miller, a son-in-law of Arron Johnson. Mr. Miller had visited the site of Hobble Creek, as Springville, was then called, during 1849 and had a desire to settle there upon the aarrival of the Johnson Company from the eat. During the dummer of 1850 Mr. Miller with his wife, Phoebe went down to inspect a proposed home site. They came, they saw and were conqured. Never had their eyes beheld a more eligible site on which to make a home. The seaon was early June, and the scorching rays of the sun had not yet parched the landscape; acares of waving grass, studded with bright colored flowers, beautified the broad expanse from the lake to the snow line on the mountains, and loaded the pure air with their fragrance and blooms. And so it was when the Johnson Company arrived that Mr. Miller told Arron Johnson of the site and to-gether they rode on horseback to see it. Upon their return to Salt Lake they were granted permission by Brigham Young to make a settlement there. President Young went down to Emigration Square where the company was corraled, and cut out the first eight wagons and said they were to go to the selected site and build a fort. The names of the families other than the Warren, Wood, Miler and Johson families were those of the Myron N. Crandall, John W. Deal, and Richard Bird. In consequence of some road making it took the better part of three days to make the trip from Salt Lake City to their destination, at this period the teams were compelled to drive over the mountains at Jordan Narrows, instead of around the point as at present. It was aboaut 3 P.M. on the 18th of september, 1850, that the last of the wagons arrived at the site. Their long journey of 1,100 miles was over. The location was one of great natural beauty. one to fill the hearts of the weary pilgrims with joy and thankfulness. The high mountains surrounding the beautiful valley, the tall grasses bending with billowey gracefulness to the movement of the autumnal breezes, the flashing. silvery lake which lay shimmering beneath the purple shadows of the cloud crowned hills and the bluest of blue skies bending over all, made altogether a picture never to be effaced from the memories of the delighted home seekers.

History of Amos Sweet Warren Springville, Utah Pioneer of 1850 While going through my grandmothers family records I found this and was wondering if there are any family members of the Warren group that would be interested in this It is to long that I will send it in parts. The information contained in this history was botained from the following sources Althea Warren Fullmer, a daughter of Amos Sweet Warren. Altha E. warren Jarvis & Ariel Warren Perry, daughters of Amos Benoni Warren and granddaughters of Amos S. Warren. Mildren Warren wignall Shortt, daughter of John warren, brother of Amos Benoni Warren, and younger son of Amos Sweet Warren Genealogical research done by Ida Jarvis Winkkotter daughter of Altha Warren Jarvis gr. daughter of Amos Banoni Warren and great gr. daughter of Amos S. Warren Compiled by Iona Jarvis Belka, sister to Ida and great gr. daughter of Amos S. Warren November 1913 Amos Sweet Warren Amos Sweet warren was born 10 June 1831 at Harfland, Niagara County, New York, a son of Zenos Conger Warren and Sarah Grace Sweet Warren. Very little is known of the background of the family, however, from research done it has been learned that Joshua Warren, the great grandfather of Amos Sweet Warren emmigrated from England and settled in the New England states. It was in New Jersey that John Warren, the grandfather of Amos sweet was born in 1770. With this date we established the Warren family as living in the United states before the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War in 1775. They were still living in New Jersey in 1799 when Zenos Conger, the father of Amos S. was born. Amos had a very quiet manner and was not very talkative, and when questioned about his early life he was known to reply, " I'm a blue blooded yankee from the east and that's enough.". However it has been established fromr esearch that the family generally followed farming as a means of earning a livelihood. After the marrage of zenos Conger Warren and sarah Grace Sweet, they made their homes, for a number of years in New York state. Living first in Monroe and then in Niagra Counties. All of their children were born in these two counties. It was on a farm in Michigan that this family was living when the father died on the 4th day of Mrch 1836 leaving a familay of four boys and one girl. The boys were John W., Charles Wesley, william James,and Amos Sweet. Mary Dorcas was the name of the baby sister. The eldest son was but twelve years of age and Mary Dorcas was three. Amos S. was only five. On the second of April, 1837 the mother Sarah married a widower by the name of Daniel Wood and from this marrage one son, Wellington Wood was born. Sarah Grace Sweet was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints on the 6th day of Jan. 1842, and several years later,she, with her family, gathered with the Saints for the long journey to the valley of the mountains. The Warren-Wood family was members of the Arron Johnson Company of Saints who left Kanesville, Iowa, on the twelfth of June, 1850 in a company of 150 wagons. Those making up the company were: Born Place Sarah Grace Sweet warren Wood 13 Jan. 1700 Hoosick, New York Daniel Wood 27 June 1788 Jaffrey, New York Wellington Wood 17 Aug. 1841 Royal Oak, Michigan Charles Wesley Warren 3 Jan. 1826 Pennfield, New York William James Warren 11 March 1829 Pennfield, New York Amos Sweet Warren 10 June 1831 Hartland, Niagra Co. N.Y Mary Dorcas Warren 7 May 1833 Somerset, New York Also a brother -in-law to Sarah and his wife and two children Zephaniah Warren 30 Aug. 1804 Cornelia Ann Pardee Warren 19 April 1803 Conoan, New York Susan Pardee Warren 24 April 1829 New York Alva Alonzo Warren 21 July 1836 Michigan
