Murdock, John Riggs, president of the Beaver Stake of Zion from 1877 to 1891, is the son of

John Murdock and Julia Clapp, and was born Sept. 13, 1826, in Orange township, Cuyahoga

county, Ohio. His father and mother joined the Church in November, 1830, being among the

first converts to "Mormonism" in Ohio; and they became closely associated with the Prophet

Joseph. The mother died in 1831, leaving a family of five children, including a pair of twins, a

boy and a girl (Joseph and Julia), born at their mother's death. The twins were adopted by the

Prophet and his wife and tenderly fostered. When the boy was a year and a half old, he caught

the measles, and through exposure took cold and died at the time the Prophet was mobbed at

Hiram in 1832. Julia remained in the family until she had grown to womanhood. After his

mother's death John R. was sent with [p.305] Caleb Baldwin, sen., to Jackson county, Mo.,

where he lived in the family of Morris Phelps. After the Saints were driven out of Jackson

county, he was baptized by his father in Clay county in the year 1834; he also passed through

the mobbings and persecutions in Caldwell county. His father, after spending about five years

on missions, married again, when John R. left Brother Baldwin and rejoined his father's family,

with which he removed from Quincy to Nauvoo. Here he worked on the Prophet Joseph's farm

about four years, and was still in the Prophet's employ at the time of the martyrdom; in the

exodus from Nauvoo in 1846, John R. came west with Father Cornelius P. Lott. On his way he

enlisted in the Mormon Battalion, and as a private in Company B he marched all the way to San

Diego in California. After serving his time he made his way, in company with many other

Battalion boys, to Great Salt Lake valley, and arrived on the present site of Salt Lake City, Oct.

12, 1847, after a tedious journey of twelve hundred miles with pack animals. He spent the

winter in the "Old Fort" and married Almira H. Lott, daughter of Cornelius P. Lott. In the spring

of 1851 he settled in Lehi, Utah county, being one of the early settlers of that place; and among

the several positions filled by him here was that of mayor of the city. In 1856 he took a most

active part in rescuing the hand-cart companies, who were perishing in the snow storms. When

he brought in some of the suffering emigrants he found the snow on the Big Mountain fifteen

feet deep. To many of those who crossed the plains before the Union Pacific Railroad was built,

the name of John R. Murdock is very familiar. He was sent east five times as a captain of

Church trains after the poor, namely in 1861, 1862, 1863, 1864 and 1868. He also carried the

mails from the Valley to Independence, Mo., as an employee of the B. Y. X. Company, and in

that capacity he made two round trips to the States in 1857, in unprecedented short time. In

1358 he went to Omaha as an escort to Col. Thos. L. Kane, making the round trip of 2,120 miles

with the same animals in 42 traveling days. He also brought trains of merchandise for

Livingston & Bell in the early days. Altogether "Captain Murdock," as he was familiarly called

in early days, made eleven round trips across the plains, and has brought more "Mormon"

emigrants to Utah than any other leader. He is credited with making a better record than any

other man known in bringing ox and mule trains across the plains and over the mountains. In the

spring of 1864 he was called and ordained to the office of a Bishop by President Brigham

Young and sent to preside in Beaver, Beaver county. He occupied that position until 1877, when

the Beaver Stake of Zion was organized, and he was chosen and set apart as its president. This

responsible position he filled for fourteen years. He has served eight terms in the Territorial and one in the State legislature. He was also a member of the Constitutional convention, which

framed the State constitution in 1895. He has also served as probate judge of Beaver county and

as a colonel in the Iron County Military District. From the first Elder Murdock was one of the

representative and leading men in the Church and community at large. He has occupied many

positions of honor and trust in the Territory and State, and is now in his old age highly respected

and beloved by the people.

Rugged Men of the West

Champion Horseman

John Riggs Murdock was born on the 13th of September, 1826, in the state of Ohio. His father

was John Murdock and was one of those men of New England who had the courage and the

hope to brave the undeveloped region of the West. His mother was Julia Clapp, a daughter of

Judge Horace Clapp of Mentor, Ohio. Such parentage gave the boy a rich inheritance that

marked his life. When he was but a small child, his parents were converted to Mormonism.

Their children were: Orrice C., John R., and Phoebe C., besides the historical twin babies, Julia

and Joseph, at whose birth the mother died. This was in April, 1831, in Warrensville, Ohio. This

same day twins were born to the Prophet and Emma Smith. These children died so to assuage

her grief over the loss of her twin babies, Emma took the motherless Murdock twins into her

home.

John Riggs Murdock was not yet eighteen years old when the Prophet and his brother Hyrum

were martyred, but he turned with loyalty to the new leadership. When the advance company of

Latter-day Saints left Nauvoo, he was about twenty years of age, yet he had met experiences of

a pioneer that fitted him for future endurance. He enlisted in the Mormon Battalion on the 16th

of July, 1846. John R. Murdock was selected to drive a company team of six mules, all wild and

unbroken for use, except one, the saddle mule. His love of animals now had a chance to prove

itself in training them. After making the most historic march in history, the Battalion reached

California and as their time of duty had expired, they were mustered out of service. With friends

in the Battalion, John R. Murdock then made his way to Salt Lake Valley by way of the

Humboldt River, Goose Creek and Fort Hall. As the "Old Fort" was the home of the pioneers

during the summer of 1847, John found his father and family there: In the following spring he

took up a piece of property in Mill Creek canyon near Neff's Mill. He had brought a half bushel

of wheat all the way from California. This he planted and reaped from it about ten bushels of

wheat. With the small quantity of immatured corn, which the family raised, this constituted the

next year's supply of breadstuff. Late in the fall of 1848, John was required to take a team and

go out to meet three new companies of Saints arriving from the Missouri. With other young

men, under the leadership of Ira Eldredge, they made roads through Parley's canyon and Park

down Silver Creek in order to intercept the other road at the mouth of Echo Canyon. They met

President Young and company, also President Kimball's company close in the rear. In the second

group John again met Almira Lott, to whom he was engaged before he enlisted in the Mormon

Battalion. That fall the young man cut hay, hauled it and supplied wood for his father's family.

He also engaged himself to work chopping timber waist-deep in snow and with the logs built a

fence for his employer, John P. Barnard. In the fall of 1849, gold seekers, in their eagerness to

reach California, sold very cheaply or abandoned their merchandise to the pioneers. John traded

one mule for a good yoke of oxen and a fine wagon. This provided him with a team so that he

could build a house. He married Almira Lott on the 12th of November, 1849. During the year of

1850 the Ute Indians made an attack upon the settlers in Provo. John R. Murdock was a member

of the General Robert T. Burton Company and took part in several skirmishes. On one occasion

his horse was shot as he stood beside it; he luckily escaped. Early in the spring of 1851 he took

his family and household effects and moved to Lehi where he secured forty acres of land and

commenced to cultivate it. His duties in the community were that of canal builder and guard and

Indian fighter. In 1852 he went on an Indian mission to Southern Utah for the purpose to

establish friendly relations with the Indians and to teach them farming. Later, he went on a

similar mission among the tribes near Green River. In the fall of 1856 he was one of the hardy

men who struggled through the snows and the mountains to rescue the tragic hand cart

companies. Through snow ten feet deep he and others made a road. It has been said that the

suffering of the rescued as well as the rescuers was beyond the imagination. In 1857 Brigham

Young called John to join the Young Express Company to carry mail from Salt Lake City to a

point in Missouri, a distance of twelve hundred miles. He accepted the contract and took his

mules to drive. Porter Rockwell was in charge of the company, which consisted of ten men.

They left Salt Lake City on the first day of March, 1857. Travel was so difficult and the snow

was so deep that it took eleven days to get with the pack mules to Fort Bridger, a distance of one

hundred and fifteen miles. After two months of travel over the most difficult of roads and new

trails they reached Independence, Missouri. The return trip was begun on the first day of May

with the U. S. mail and passengers, among whom were George A. Smith, Doctor Bernhisel,

Truman O. Angell, and several others. On the first day of July of that same year, 1857, John R.

Murdock with six men in his party and using three vehicles, left Salt Lake City carrying U. S.

mail. A large amount of money was carried on this trip; John himself had thirteen thousand

dollars in Church drafts. Upon reaching Grand Island the party met a war party of Cheyenne

Indians. Only through the strategy of Murdock was a fight averted and the money saved. At Fort

Kearney the mail was delivered into the custody of officials. This was the last mail carried by

the pioneer people for the government in early days. In the fall of 1857 word was received that

Johnston's army was approaching. John R. Murdock was one of five President Young appointed

to convey Colonel Kane across the plains as expeditiously as possible to intercede for the

Mormons in Washington. They made the whole trip, a distance of one thousand and sixty miles,

to the Missouri, in twenty-two days without a change of animals. When they reached the

Missouri, Howard Egan went on to Washington with the Colonel. On the return journey, and

upon arriving at Fort Bridger, it was learned that important documents from Washington to

Brigham Young must be delivered immediately. The distance was one hundred and fifteen miles

and Murdock was given the responsibility. He immediately left the Fort and covered the

distance in twenty-four hours, riding his faithful horse, Painter. An unbroken record on

horseback was accomplished by this superhorseman in the summer of 1857. "In the mail

service, sixty miles a day was about the average speed of these carriers after the system went

into operation. One of them—John R. Murdock—in the summer of 1857, traveled from Salt

Lake City to Independence, Missouri, in 15 days. This was at the surprising rate of 80 miles per

day—the distance between those points being 1,200 miles. It was accomplished with but three

changes of animals, grass-fed; four twenty-mile drives being made each day."—(Whitney's

History of Utah.) In 1861 he was called to take charge of a church train consisting of fifty

wagons and as many drivers. This was a mission to go to the Missouri and bring emigrants to

Utah. They loaded their wagons with provisions to aid the emigrants, cached them at points

along the way to aid in the return journey. It took about eighteen weeks for a round trip and

John went on four of these important missions. On the second one, he went to Nauvoo to visit

Emma Smith and her family; also he enjoyed meeting his sister, whom he had not seen for

eighteen years. In 1864 President Brigham Young called John R. Murdock to leave his home in

Lehi and move to Beaver, where he was to act in the capacity of Bishop. John became a

legislator in about 1870 and later became probate judge of Beaver County. He was again in the

legislature in 1874. In 1878 he was called to mourn the loss of his first wife, the lovable mother

of a large family, though only forty-nine years old. In 1880 he responded to a call to preach the

gospel in the Southern States. Upon his return he was-made the president of Beaver Stake. For

many years this was a trying position because a military post, Fort Cameron, was located two

and one-half miles east of Beaver. A military post, under ordinary circumstances, so near a

community is always a source of friction. However, when Phil Sheridan, the military hero of

Shenandoah Valley, came to Milford in order to reach Beaver, John R. Murdock proved himself

a gallant citizen and met him at the train, placing at the General's service the Murdock carriage.

The government had expended about two hundred thousand dollars in the construction of the

fort. When the War Department finally decided to abandon Fort Cameron, its buildings were

offered for sale at public auction. Feeling that these buildings and land should be put to public

use, John R. Murdock and Philo T. Farnsworth purchased them for $4,800.00. Fort Cameron

was contributed to the Brigham Young Academy in order that a branch school might be

established. The gift was accepted and John R. Murdock, with other leading gentlemen, pledged

himself to render support to the extent of twelve hundred dollars annually for a number of years.

The school was later called the Murdock Academy. The Jubilee Year for Utah was celebrated in

1897. Fifty years had passed since the Mormons first entered the Rocky Mountains. It was most

fitting that one of the honored men in that celebration was John R. Murdock. He was assigned

to the command of the survivors of the Mormon Battalion, about thirty-five in number, a

distinction he truly merited. His long and adventuresome life ended on November 12, 1913.

After 87 years of vigorous life, one of the most useful and honored Mormon men was placed at

rest.—(Leona G. Holbrook.)

Mormon Pioneer Overland Travel, Trail

Excerpt by John Riggs Murdock

•

Mormon Pioneer Overland Travel, 1847–1868

Source of Trail Excerpt:

Murdock, John Riggs, [Reminiscences], in Tanner, J. M., A Biographical Sketch of John

Riggs Murdock [1909], 136-40.

Read Trail Excerpt:

"In the year 1861 I was called," he says, "to take charge of a Church train consisting of fifty

wagons and as many drivers. There were four yoke of oxen to each wagon. It was our mission

to go down to the Missouri river and bring emigrants to Utah. After making our preparations,

we started about the first of May, 1861. Grass was short, consequently we had to use great care

in providing suitable food for our teams, and to drive prudently until the grass improved. Before

leaving Salt Lake City we loaded up with flour and other provisions to meet the needs of the

emigrants with whom we were to return. These supplies we deposited at certain points along the

road, so that we could use them on our return.

"It generally took about nine weeks to cross the plains, and though it was a laborious trip, we

had a great deal of enjoyment out of it. We had musicians with their instruments and would

sometimes have what the boys called 'stag dances,' as there were no ladies with us on the 'down'

trip. There were always several trains on the road which frequently camped close to ours, so the

drivers often mingled with each other and engaged in such contests as wrestling, racing, and

jumping. I took a great deal of pleasure in such association with the boys."

These trains were generally made up from different sections of the territory, and there would

naturally be some feelings of rivalry among them. As these rivalries took on the form of

honorable contests, they naturally gave rise to sympathies and friendships that lasted throughout

life. How often in after years men were wont to say, when introduced to a supposed stranger.

Yes, I know him. We were old friends together on the plains." To know each other on the plains

was the badge of friendship and the assurance of hospitality. How these old-time friends were

men and women who underwent trials together and rejoiced in lasting friendships, those of later

generations can hardly realize. There is an old adage which says: "If you would know a man

you must first travel with him."

How unlike, however, were the Mormon travelers on the plains in those early days when

compared with other travelers! The latter were quite contentious from the familiarity of their

associations with their fellow men. Their companies were frequently broken up, hatreds were

engendered, and sometimes men fought to the death. On the other hand, the Mormons were men

and women of religious convictions, who deeply sensed their obligations and desired to live in

harmony with their fellow men. They were under the watch-care of God and were taught unity

and brotherly love by humbly submitting themselves to the direction of a kind Providence, both

morning and night, in an attitude of prayer. They were taught to feel the need of divine

protection, and the approbation of their God. How could they have, then, they asked themselves,

these blessings, if in their midst there were not brotherly love and willingness to make sacrifice

for the good and happiness of others. The relationship of these Mormon emigrants was both,

instructive and joyful. What, therefore, John R. Murdock has to say of those days on the plains

is full of interest. He gives us some insight into a life far from anything that we have ever

experienced, but into a life that had much to do in laying the foundations of that faith, love, and

friendship that characterized the beginning of the Church in the early history of Utah.

"Our first trip down," he says, "was without any particular incident. We remained at the river a

short time and then loaded the luggage of the emigrants into our wagons. There were from

sixteen to twenty persons, men, women, and children, assigned to each wagon. Those who were

old enough to walk were expected to do so the greater party of the way. They would ride,

occasionally, when the roads were good. I always appointed two men whose duty it was to look

after the passengers. It was certainly novel to see a train starting out with everything that could

be put into wagons and everything that could be tied to the outside, such as buckets, cans and all

kinds of cooking utensils. It reminded one of an old turkey with a brook of young ones keeping

her company. Generally there were about seven hundred passengers in one train. The

organization was systematic and complete. It consisted of a captain, an assistant, a chaplain, a

quarter-master, hospital steward, a camp guard, and a night guard for the stock. The chaplain

took charge of the religious services, and we had prayer night and morning. We also had a choir

with its leader. The people were called together by means of a bugle."

This description applies to all the companies, which required about nine weeks going and

coming. The experiences of the emigrants were educational as well as fraternal. Frequently the

teamsters, who were usually unmarried men, formed attachments for the young ladies among

the emigrants. These attachments resulted in life-long friendships, and sometimes in matrimony.

On reaching home from his trip across the plains in 1861, he returned to Lehi to pass the winter

of 1861 and 62. This gave him no opportunity to till his fields and harvest his crop. His stay at

home was at a season of the year in which it was most difficult to provide means of sustenance

for his family. John R. Murdock was a thoughtful man-a man who could forsee possible dangers

and was therefore constantly on his guard to escape troubles that forsight and prudence might

protect him from. There is seen in his narratives of those early experiences a deep-seated

satisfaction which he felt in the fact that he and those in his charge escaped accidents and

avoided both danger and trouble. The personal conquests of his life were the conquests of

peace. He put great store upon timely prudence, which was a protection to himself and others;

and although he was pre-eminently helpful in assisting others out of difficulty, he found greater

satisfaction in keeping them from it. He had, therefore, a right to speak of that particular

satisfaction which he felt in the fact that he had lost few passengers among all those whom he

had helped across the plains.
