" Dewitt Clinton Tyler was 17 and his wife, Sariah Pratt Tyler, was only 15 when they hitched a cow and
a mule to a covered wagon and walked all the way from St. Joseph, Missouri to Fillmore, Utah.
Sariah's father, Anson Pratt, had just passed away so she and Dewitt brought her brother, Joseph,
and 3 sisters, May Ann, Caroline and Jane Elizabeth with them. They said if they had not had the cow,
they would not have survived the trip. Dewitt Clinton Tyler and Cyrus A. Warner were County
Commissioners in Malad, Idaho and Justices of the Peace. They helped build roads and the
cemeteries in both Rockland and American Falls."
