This jfirst Taylor was establishedJanuary 22, 1878, by eight families, mainly from Panguitchand Beaver, Utah.

Then, in July, 1878, members of the ^settlement departed, going to the present site of Snowflakeon Silver Creek. They included a number of Arkansasimmigrants. There had been little improvement outside ofthe stockade and dining hall, and for most of the time thepeople lived in their wagons. 148 5o 3 ^I ^ o pi o :^§ o is o.
