Mormon History, Jun 6, 1847. Sunday.

[William Clayton Journal] At 11 o'clock, four Missourians came up mounted, being part of a company a little behind. Some of these are recognized by the brethren, and they seem a little afraid and not fond of our company. They say the old settlers have all fled from Shariton Missouri only 2 tavern keepers, and I feel to wish that their fears may follow them even to Oregon. At half past 11 just as the brethren again assembled for meeting it commenced raining heavy, accompanied by lightning and heavy thunder which caused the meeting to break up abruptly. During the storm the Missouri company passed by us, having 19 wagons and 2 carriages. Most of their wagons have 5 yoke of cattle to each and few less than 4. They have many cows, horses and young Cattle with them...At half past 2 the Camp began to move forward...the wagons came to a halt in a body of timber and brushwood at 4 o'clock and halted while the brethren on horseback viz. Elders Young, Kimball and Woodruff went ahead to look for a camping ground. They returned at 20 minutes to 5 and the Camp proceeded on. Having proceeded a quarter of a mile we passed the camp of the 19 wagons close by the timber a little South of the road. Several of the men came to look at the roadometer having heard from some of the brethren that we had one. They expressed a wish to each other to see inside and looked upon it as a curiosity. I paid no attention to them inasmuch as they did not address themselves to me. At a quarter past 5 we formed our encampment in an oblong circle, at the foot of a low bluff on the west and close by water having traveled 5 miles. The feed here is very good and plentiful. Wind strong from the west. Road very crooked, mostly a South West and west course. Plenty of timber all along and the soil looks good on the low lands.
One of the men in the company of the 19 wagons told G. A. Smith that he had broke his carriage spring and seemed much troubled to know what to do to get along. He asked George if there was any man in our company who could fix it. George told him there was. After we were camped Burr Frost set up his forge and welded the spring ready to put on before dark . . .
