In 1900, Jerry and Annie came to the Big Horn Basin, Wyoming, with Jerry's family. Jerry, with his new wife, Anne, led the company.
**************Upon the advice of Apostle Owen A. Woodruff, father decided to go on to the Big Horn. It seemed like the end of the world to us, and we felt sure that we would never see our mother and family gain. Little Anna, our brother’s wife was just as homesick as we were. She seemed to sense that she would never see her loved ones again, for she died in Byron several years later, leaving four children, Wilma, Alice, Warren and Ida.

******************In 1900, Warren Marshall Johnson decided to take his two families from Southern Utah into a new country. He needed more land for his sons, so decided to answer the call of the leaders of the Church and build his new home in the Big Horn Basin, Wyoming.
The oldest boy, Jerry, with his new wife, Anne, led the company. There were several covered wagons. Warren had just previously been in an accident which broke his back. A bedspring was placed in one wagon, where he lay while traveling this 900 miles. The family members in the company included his first wife, Parmelia, one daughter Nancy and her husband, Jim Smith, two young boys, Jody and Roy and two of Samantha's daughter's, Mattie and Lucy. Samantha was the second wife of Grandfather Johnson. This family arrived in the Big Horn Basin about the same time as the colony of Saints who were led by Apostle Owen Woodruff, of Salt Lake City, Utah.
They landed on the northern shore of the Shoshone River, which later became Byron. There were no houses to be seen and the land was covered with sage brush. Indian paintbrush and prickly pears abounded, with rattle snakes and prairie dogs. There were coyotes howling and barking every night. The most wonderful thing about the country was the beautiful Shoshone. River. The river bottoms were covered with miles of cotonwood trees and thick underbrush, much of which were buffalo or bull berrries and wild currants. This small fruit was all the Saints had for several years.
Warren Marshall Johnson died 1902 and is buried in the Byron Cemetery.
*************Warren was first buried in the old cemetery by the bluff east and south of town, above the Shoshone river, above the present day sewage plant (2005). Due to high waters the bluff started to cave away and Warren's grave was exposed. He was moved to the new cemetery, north of Byron in the sandhills. Along with others that were buried in the old cemetery.

Biography of Warren Marshall JohnsonWritten by his daughter, Polly A. Judd for the daughters of the Utah Pioneers in 1929
Warren Marshall Johnson, son of Jeremiah Johnson and Elizabeth Sleepr, was born July 9, 1838, at Bridgewater, New Hampshire. He spent the early part of his life there. He received a fairly good education, having graduated from college. At this time he was having very poor health, suffering from stomach trouble.
The doctors had given him up and advised as a last resort to seek a warmer climate. In the spring of 1865 he joined a company of emigrants on their way to the gold fields in California. He passed through many hardships while on this journey. He was in a weakened condition and the weather being stormy and cold made traveling slow and disagreeable. On June 30, while attempting to cross or wade the Sweet Water River at Devil’s Gate, he was drawn into the rapids for about ten rods, lodging on a rock. When four of his companions helped him out he had lost his hat, pants, boots and socks. He also lost his pocketbook which contained every cent he had with the exception of a few postage stamps. On july 4th, they reached Lander’s Cutoff where they decided to lay over for a few days and try their luck at prospecting for gold in the Wind River Mountains.
Not finding the mines extensive enough for profit, they decided to move on to Idaho; arriving in Boise City on the 10th of August. Here Warren was forced to layover and hunt for work. He had no trouble in obtaining work, but after working for about two weeks, became ill with the plague and ashe was not in a fit condition to travel, the company left him and went on to California. He was sick for about three weeks, staying at the home of Dr. Jonathan Smith (my grandfather). He nursed Warren back to health. Here he met his first wife, my mother Permelia.
While staying with this family, he read some of the Mormon literature and in reading the Book of Mormon, he received a testimony of its truthfulness. He investigated the Mormon faith to is satisfaction and decided to join the church and remain in Utah. He was baptized September 30, 1866 in Farmington, Utah. On December 5, he left for St. Thomas, Nevade where he took up some land and began farming for himself. In August, 1867, he was appointed Justice of the Peace and in January, 1868, was elected County Treasurer. In February of the same year, he took over the duties of general water master for a term of eight months. In September, he went to Salt Lake and Farmington. While in Salt Lake, he received his Endowments. On his return to St. Thomas, he taught school for about six months. In July, he went back to Farmington and on October 4, 1869, was married to Permelia Jane Smith. On the 18th, he left for St. Thomas with his wife where he again took up school teaching. While in St. Thomas he met and married his second wife, Samantha Nelson.
At the time, the settlements on the muddy were broken up. He moved his family to Glendale Utah, arriving there in the spring of 1871. He was the first school teacher in Glendale, also the first clerk in the store owned by a Mr. Asay. They lived there until the spring of 1874, when he was called by Pres. Brigham Young to Lee’s Ferry, on the Colorado River. He lived there until 1895, at which time he moved back to Kanab Utah. The reason for him staying so long on this call was that he was forgotten about until Apostle Lyman was down in that country to attend a conference. Warren made it known to him that he had been there twenty one years, from 1874 to 1895. Brother Lyman when got busy with the church authorities and he was released.
In Kanab Utah on December 12, in company with Brother E.D. Wooley, while hauling a load of hay from Fredonia Arizona, the rack tipped causing both men to fall to the ground. Brother Wooley lighting on his feet with father on his back, dislocated his spine. This rendered him paralyzed below his hips. He spent the last seven years of his life in his wheelchair. In 1900, he moved his family to Wyoming, settling in Byron, on the Shoshone River. They were among the first Mormons to settle in that country.
From a letter dated March 11, 1901, Warren M. Johnson at Byron Wyoming to his grandchildren, Eva, Henry, Dart, Minda, Sammy, Abbie and Demont...
“I want to tell you a little story about something that happened to us when we were coming out here last spring. We passed through Richfield about eleven o’clock and camped for until noon about two or three miles from town. While eating dinner, we saw a little child go by where were camped but quite a distance from the road. After the little fellow got by us he came up into the road and went on over a hill out of sight. After dinner we went on and when we got to the top of the hill, we could see the little tot perhaps a mile ahead, going just as fast as he could make his feet and legs go. We hurried the teams on a little faster to catch up with him and when we overtook him he was afraid of the teams and started to go off toward the mountains. We stopped the teams and several of the folks went after him. When they caught him he said he wanted to go up there to his ma. He was dressed in girls clothes, could not talk over a few words, and don’t think was any older or bigger than Minda is now. We thought he was about two years old.
Your grandmother, Permelia, took him a drink of water and something to eat and he went right to sleep. We carried him along till we met a team going back to Richfield. We sent him back by Brother Henry, who said he would take him to his parents. I suppose he did so but we have never heard from him since. If you have the old Deseret News of last June or July, perhaps you could find something about the lost child from Richfield there.”
Warren Marshall Johnson died March 10, 1902, at the age of 64 years. He was the father of 20 children and 16 grandchildren.

Charles Lindsay
Born 5 Feb 1895, Bennington, Bear Lake, Idaho
Parents David E. Lindsay & Charlotte Ann Dunn
Md Dorothy Neeley, 31 Jan 1920, Billings, Yellowstone, Montana

Buried FridayCharles Lindsay Drowns In Shoshone River While Bathing With Wife and Son
Dr. Charles Lindsay, age 36 and a son of Mrs. Charloette Lindsay of Byron, was drowned in the Shoshone river a quarter of a mile south of his mother's home Wednesday at about noon. The body was not recovered from the deep hole in which it became lodged until about three hours later.
Dr. Lindsay was dean of the junior college at Norfolk, Nebraska. He and wife, who was one of the daughters in the Joe Neely family of Lovell, had recently returned from a trip to California, where they spent most of the summer vacation and were to sojourn for a few days at Byron and then return to Mr. Lindsays's school work in Nebraska. They were fishing in the river south of Byron, accompanied by their 6-year-old son Charles Howard. Coming to a deep hole in some backwater the thought occured to them to take a swim, and they went for their bathing suits and arranged to go in the water. Both Mr. and Mrs. Lindsay had reputations as good swimmers. He went out in the deep pool with his little son on his shoulders. His wife noticed that he was in distress and swam to rescue the child, but did not succed in saving her husband, who disappeared in the cold water and was not again seen alive. A large crowd soon gathered about the scene of the tragedy to assist in recovering the body, which seemed lodged under the trunk of a submerged tree.
Undertaker Ray Easton was called from Powell to take charge of the body, which he brought back to town with him to prepare the remains for burial at Byron Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock.
Charles Lindsay was one of the sons in a well known Byron family. He is survived by a widowed mother and brothers and sisters, who are well known up and down the valley. He was born in Idaho, but came with his mother to Wyoming among the early pioneers of the Byron settlement. He grew to manhood in the Byron community, and later became a graduate of the university of Nebraska at Lincoln. He specialized in the study of history, and some two years ago was preparing a historial sketch of the Big Horn basin as a thesis for a master's degree, at the time he and wife visiting Powell and other points for information.
(taken from the Powell Tribune, 13 Aug 1931, page 1)****************
Charles Lindsay was born in Bennington, Idaho, February 5, 1895. His parents, David and Charlotte Dunn Lindsay, were pioneer Mormon settlers in the Bear Lake Community of sourthern Idaho. In May, 1800, they migrated with a party of colonists to the Big Horn Basin, in Wyoming, and settled in the newly established village of Byron, where they homesteaded land and aided in the building of the Sidon canal. Charles attended the first school in Byron, and in 1911 completed the elementary grades. He then went to the Big Horn Academy, at Cowley, Wyoming, the only secondary school in the region. He was graduated from this institution in 1914, and spent the next year at the Weber Academy and Normal School of Ogden, Utah. Then followed two years of teaching, one as sixth grade teacher in Byron, and the next as principal of the school at Penrose, a near-by village.
In the fall of 1917 he went to Salt Lake City to enter the University of Utah. Before going, however, he volunteered for enlistment in the United States army. He was placed on the deferred list and received his call the next June. He was sent to Camp Zachary Taylor, Kentucky, where he remained until his discharge in March, 1919. During his service he was a member of the Camp Zachary Taylor band, and was first sergeant in Company "B," 442 Reserve Battalion.
He returned home after his release from the army, and at once entered the public school system at Lovell, Wyoming, as principal of the junior high school, a position which he relinquished in 1920 to become grade school principal and director of athletics at Burke, Idaho. He was married January 31, 1920, to Dorothy Neely, of Lovell, Wyoming.
The summer of 1920 he spent as a United States forest ranger in the Big Horn Mountain forest reserve, and the summer of 1921 as director of athletics in a boy scout camp on Lake Coeur d'Alene, in northern Idaho. He was superintendent of schools at Clarkia, Idaho, for the year 1921-22.
In June, 1922, he came to Lincoln to enter the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Nebraska. From the outset he was interested in history, and with that subject as his major field of interest, he earned an A.B. degree in 1924 and an A.M. in 1925. His marked ability was quickly recognized by his instructors and during the years 1923-25 he held an assistantship in the history department.
In 1925 he took a position as superintendent of schools at Gary, South Dakota, where he remained for two years in order to make further graduate work in history financially possible. He was awarded a teaching fellowship in the history department of the University of Minnesota for the year 1927-28, and there continued his work toward a doctor's degree. He spent the summer of 1928 in Wyoming and Montana gathering material for the history of the Big Horn Basin which now appears.
While at the University of Minnesota he received an appointment as professor of American history at the State Teachers' College, Peru, Nebraska. He taught at Peru during the winter and summer terms of 1928-9, and returned to the University of Nebraska on leave of absence in the fall of 1929, to complete the work for a Ph..D. degree. The degree was granted in June 1930. During this year and the following summer he held a temporary appointment as assistant instructor in American History at the University of Nebraska. In the fall of 1930 he resigned his position at the Peru Teachers' College to accept the deanship fo the Junior College at Norfolk, Nebraska.
During the summer of 1931 he went with his wife and son on an extensive western tour in which he hoped to combine both business and pleasure. He visited Salt Lake City and gathered some materials from the archives of the Mormon Church; also, he found and examined the local records of various Mormon colonies. On his way back to his home in Norfolk, Nebraska, where he was Dean of the Junior College he stopped for a week's visit with his mother at Byron, Wyoming. It was here on August 11, that he met his death while swimming in the Shoshone river, only a few rods from the house where he had passed his childhood. The accident occurred when, after crossing the river twice alone, he attempted to swim across a third time with his six year old son on his back. The exertion of carrying the extra weight apparently exhausted him, for he sank without a struggle and without warning. His wife succeeded in rescuing the child but was unable to reach her husband. He was buried in the family plot at Byron, beside his father, who had perished in a snowslide in the Kerwin Mountains of Wyoming a number of years before.
Mr. Lindsay's death deprives the historical profession of a promising young scholar. As an undergraduate or as a graduate student he was chosen to Phi Beta Kappa, Phi Delta Kappa and other honorary societies. He had a fine flair for research and wrote well. Aready he had published articles in the Prairie Schooner, American Speech, the Junior College Journal, and the Annals of Wyoming, and the Nebraska History Magazine. For his literary accomplishments he had won local recognition by election to memebership in the Nebraska Writers' Guild, and if he had lived it seems highly probable that he would soon have achieved a much wider reputation. In all his work he was ably assisted by his wife, who is herself a competent scholar and teacher, and who will, it may be hoped, continue some of the work he began.
