I, William Winterton, was born May 6,
1846…In the spring of 1864 I went to work for Isaac Higbee
for a year for $100.00, where I worked for one year and a
half…Brother John was living at the home of Isaac
Decker near Heber, where I stopped on my way to Provo. Mr.
Decker offered me my board and room if I would stay with him that
winter, so I accepted his offer. John and I fed a herd of sheep,
cattle and milk cows…. In the spring, after working the
four winter months for my board, we made a bargain that we would
work one year for $200.00 in land, so I received twenty acres.
this was the year of 1866. There were Indian troubles and
everybody was ordered to “fort up,” so Mr. Decker moved to Heber
and sent me herding sheep northeast of Heber. After being up there
about a week, the people complained that the sheep were eating up
the cow range, so I had to move them back to the ranch…Mr.
Decker paid his debt to us in sheep…. |
