History of Avon

     In March 1860, Joseph G. Crapo, Alvin M. Montierth, William Smith, and Barnard White who were residing at that time in Draper, Utah, decided to visit Cache Valley in hopes of finding a location for settlement.  They had heard about the lush, green valley with plenty of water and timber.  They joined a wagon train that was going north and traveled with them until they reached Ogden’s Hole.  They then followed an old Indian trail north into Cache Valley.  Barnard White drove the first wagon and team of mules onto Old Paradise (Avon) on April 1, 1860, in the south end of Cache Valley.  The area chosen was located at the forks of East Creek and Little Bear River.

     The cove where Avon is now located was very beautiful with plenty of game, water, and timber to support a community.  They resolved to make this their new home, and the first thing they did was build a small log cabin that belonged to Barnard White.  With the building of this cabin they established residency.  At that time the area was part of Box Elder County, and they went to Brigham City and filed on the water in all of the nearby canyons for stock watering purposes.

     On January 17, 1862, the Territorial Legislature passed a bill changing the Cache County boundaries to those of today.  Finally, Paradise was a part of Cache County.  But the Cache County Court did not pay much attention to Paradise - any more attention than Box Elder County.  On August 11, 1862, precinct officers were elected as follows: Jerome Remington, Magistrate; Winslow Farr, Jr., Constable; James Bishop, Pound Keeper; Joseph G. Crapo and Enoch P. Rollins, Fence Viewers.  It was not until February 9, 1863, that Paradise was made an election precinct.

     During 1861, meetings were generally held in the large and commodious house erected by Alvin M. Montierth.  In the fall of 1861, the first Meeting/School House, a small log building, was erected.

Enoch Rollins from John R. Rollins, 1874 Book

"Enoch, with his wife [Sophia (Philbrick) Lambert] and three daughters, started for the more promising fields of the West.  On reaching New York they met with Joe Smith and were induced to renounce their early christian teaching, joined the Mormons, and went to Nauvoo.  Their subsequent history is not known, except that Ann became one of the spiritual wives of Smith.  The genealogy of this branch may, perhaps, be as well left to some one possessed of more patience than the ordinary Gentile."
John R. Rollins, 1874

Enoch Perham Rollins Obituary

1877 12-19 Deseret News, Enoch Perham Rollins Obituary

Died at Annebella, Sevier County, Utah November 9th, 1877 of consumption, Enoch Perham Rollins in the 73rd year of his life.

Deceased was the son of Ichabod and Mary Perham Rollins, born January 15, 1805 at Jefferson, Lincoln County, Maine; was a professor of religion from early youth; emigrated with his family to New York in 1837; was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints February 8, 1841, in Pelham, West Chester County, New York; started in 1843 for Nauvoo, Illinois and for lack of means stopped in Akron, Summit County, Ohio eleven months, and while there heard the sad news of the death of the Prophet Joseph; started again shortly after and landed in Nauvoo; in August 1844 he was ordained a member of the Eighth Quorum of Seventies; he spent a great deal of his time working on the Temple and other public works until the winter of 1845 and 1846, when he went into the wagon shop and assisted the brethren in making and repairing wagons for the benefit of those who intended to move west in the spring; attended to the ordinances in the temple that winter, and in the spring made himself a wagon, but having no team was compelled to stay there until driven out by the mob.  He had been afflicted with ague for some time, but notwithstanding his weakness, with the aid of Brother Refus Allen he pried an old log canoe out of the sand that had been bedded down there all summer.  With the assistance of Brother Allen, who was also afflicted with chills, and Brother Allen's wife and her sister, four families were moved across the Mississippi River that night by eleven o'clock.  They commenced about four o'clock in the afternoon.  They made several trips, the women rowing like men.  Two of the mobocrats had tried to get the boat loose a day or two before but had to leave it.  He had no trouble in getting it loose.  He was compelled through circumstances to stay in that part of the country.  He endured much sickness and privation until the spring of 1848, when he removed to Council Bluffs.  In 1852 he emigrated to Salt Lake City.  He was one of the last to leave the Bluffs that season, being counseled by Brother Benson to stay and fit up wagons for the journey as long as he possibly could.  He arrived in Salt Lake City October 28th and went to work on the public works.  He spent most of his time there until the spring of 1856, and since that time he has lived in various settlements.  He has been ever ready to respond to every call made of him by those that were placed in authority over him in the priesthood.  He never murmured or complained, and through his sickness which lasted eight months, his only desire was to live to go into the temple and finish up a little of the work that he had already commenced for this friends that had passed behind the veil, of which he had several hundreds of names.  He was the father of fifteen children, had 39 grandchildren and 23 great-grandchildren.  He died, as he had lived, a faithful Latter-day Saint, and in hopes of a glorious resurrection.
