Solomon Cowles Case was the third and only surviving child, of James Case and Hannah Wiard. He was born on September 13, 1825, in Austinburg, Ashtabula County, Ohio. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was active in their area, and on April 29, 1839, Hannah was baptized a member. James was baptized later on July 20, 1846, when they were living in Nauvoo, Hancock County, Illinois.
Persecution continued to follow the Saints and in February 1846 they were again forced to leave their homes and begin their trek west across Iowa, searching for a new home. The Case family left Nauvoo with the other members of the Church, crossed Iowa and arrived at Winter Quarters, Nebraska. James left Winter Quarters with President Brigham Young’s first company and Hannah remained with their son, Solomon.
Brigham Young’s company arrived in the Salt Lake Valley July 21-24, 1847. Solomon married Emily Richey just seven days before their wagon train was to leave. The three of them Hannah, Solomon and Emily, left Winter Quarters on June 17, 1847, in the Thomas Thurston Company. They joined James in the Salt Lake Valley on October 4, 1847.
They spent that first hard winter in the area now known as “Pioneer Park,” remaining in the Salt Lake Valley until the spring of 1850, when they moved south to Manti, Sanpete County. Solomon must have been divorced from Emily by this time, as she married Levi Ward Hancock on February 24, 1849, in Salt Lake City.
Elizabeth Pectol was born April 9, 1831, in Greenville, Clark County, Indiana to George Pectol and Sarah Reasor. The family moved to Madison County in southeast Missouri about 1841. It was here that they received a copy of the Book of Mormon and became interested in Mormonism. In the spring of 1846, they traveled to Nauvoo, Illinois to learn more about the gospel. George was baptized in the Mississippi River on March 29 and Sarah was baptized on March 30.
After they were baptized, George and Sarah returned to their home in Madison County on March 31. The Pectol family moved from Madison County and headed west across Iowa to join the Saints in Kanesville. George and Sarah started for Utah with the Aaron Johnson Company, arriving in the Salt Lake Valley on September 6, 1850.
Four days after arriving in Utah they left with a few other families for Manti, Sanpete County, arriving there September 20, 1850. Solomon married Elisabeth Pectol on September 6, 1851, in Manti. James Solomon was born in 1852 and died in 1853. Solomon Hiram was born in 1854 and died in 1870.
Early in July 1853, the settlement was attacked by the Eutau Indians. The pioneers had to disassemble their log cabins and rebuild them into a fort. The Indians burned down Solomon’s saw mill.
Solomon married into a plural marriage with Sarah Sampson Goff on December 4, 1855. Sarah Sampson was born on December 10, 1834, in Clay County, Missouri. After leaving Clay County, the Sampson family settled at Shoal Creek about four miles from the Haun's Mill and were there at the time of the great massacre. Nineteen men were murdered, as well as one boy. The Missourians raped the women and left many people wounded. For weeks to come, they threatened any Mormon they saw with the same treatment and bragged in their towns of their accomplishments of mowing down the Mormons.
Arriving at the old Eighth Ward Square in Salt Lake City, they were either assigned or chose to go to Provo. While in Provo, Sarah met James Goff, who had become a widower at the death of his wife, Mary Elizabeth Kimbrough. She died ten days after the birth of her tenth child on Christmas Day 1851. Sarah and James Goff were married in the Endowment House, Salt Lake City, Utah, on April 12, 1852. Taking on such big responsibilities at such a tender age might have proved too much for Sarah. On July 22, 1852, this sealing was canceled by President Brigham Young. Sarah's first son, Thomas Franklin Goff, was born on January 15, 1853.
Five more children were born to Elizabeth and three more were born to Sarah while the Case family lived in Manti. Elizabeth’s children were: George, born and died in 1856; Hannah Elizabeth, born 1858; Frederick Aaron, born 1860; Jemimah Angeline, born 1862 and died in 1863; and Peter Albert, born 1864. Sarah’s children were: Solomon Henry, born 1857; William Wallace, born 1859; and James Alonzo, born 1861.
Whether it was the beautiful description of Glenwood, Sevier County, or the fact that Sarah's parents were living there, the family moved to Glenwood. When they arrived, the people were living in dugouts for the most part but were gradually building log cabins from the timber that was so available.
While living in Glenwood, two more children were born to Elizabeth and three more children were born to Sarah. Elizabeth’s additional children were: Joseph, born 1866; and John Franklin, born 1873 and died 1886. Sarah’s additional children were: Isaac Alma, born 1863; Olive Alvira, born 1865; and Martha Ann, born 1868.
The Indians were becoming a great menace to the settlers. Looking at it through the eyes of the Indians, one can see their problem. Their hunting ground was being occupied by settlers, and as more and more towns grew up, they had more and more concern for their well-being.
At first the settlers tried to live at peace as President Brigham Young had counseled; but when the settlers were being killed they had to take a stand. Men were marshaled into duty and the longest Indian war of the territory ensued.
"At daybreak, on July 26, 1865, Merrit Staley, a blacksmith at Glenwood, went out after coal to start a fire in his shop. As he raised up with a basket of coal he was fired upon by Indians who lay concealed under the creek bank;... At first shot, Solomon Case, who lived just across the road, cried out, 'Indians!' He got his gun from above the door and opened the door to look out when Thomas Goff, his stepson, fourteen years old, went outside in time to see Staley fall, as he supposed, into the cellar and also to see his wife run down to Allens.
An Indian called out, 'Sol Case. Shoot him.' Then a volley from the Indians on the hill was fired at the Goff boy, bullets hitting all around him. The boy ran back into the house [and] opened the back, or west, door which had no hinges, but was held in place with pegs. [He] laid it down on the floor, ran out and down to main street where he met some men who saw an Indian on the hill squat down and shoot at someone.
Mrs. Case (Sarah Sampson Case) was in bed with a baby girl two days old. The nurse (Mrs. Charlotte Beal) picked up the baby and ran down through a patch of corn. Mrs. Case said to her husband, 'If you don't take me to town I will get up and run.' Mr. Case wrapped a quilt around her and with the corners over his shoulders carried her on his back down to the main part of town..."
Solomon, Elizabeth and Sarah moved to Springville, Utah County during the war. Two more children were born there to Sarah: Venona Jane Case, born 1871; and Sarah Ellen Case, born on July 20, 1874.
Solomon Case died four months before her birth. He died on March 7, 1874, in Springville. He had fathered 17 children.
Sarah Case evidently moved back to Glenwood as she was listed in the Glenwood Ward as moving to Burrville. She was listed in Burrville in the 1880 census with children Henry, James, Olive, and Ella (Ellen).
Sarah went to the Manti Temple on September 6, 1889, and was sealed to her parents, Isaac and Martha Hendrix Sampson. Also that day, she had four of her deceased children, Solomon Henry, William Wallace, Isaac Alma, and Martha Ann sealed to her and her deceased husband.
Elizabeth Case must have stayed in Springville, as she died there on May 17, 1896.

Mr. Case wrapped a quilt around her and with the corners over his shoulders carried her on his back down to the main part of town..."
Solomon, Elizabeth and Sarah moved to Springville, Utah County during the war. Two more children were born there to Sarah: Venona Jane Case, born 1871; and Sarah Ellen Case, born on July 20, 1874.
Solomon Case died four months before her birth. He died on March 7, 1874, in Springville. He had fathered 17 children.
Sarah Case evidently moved back to Glenwood as she was listed in the Glenwood Ward as moving to Burrville. She was listed in Burrville in the 1880 census with children Henry, James, Olive, and Ella (Ellen).
Sarah went to the Manti Temple on September 6, 1889, and was sealed to her parents, Isaac and Martha Hendrix Sampson. Also that day, she had four of her deceased children, Solomon Henry, William Wallace, Isaac Alma, and Martha Ann sealed to her and her deceased husband.
Elizabeth Case must have stayed in Springville, as she died there on May 17, 1896.
