Simeon Cragun, eighth child of Elisha & Mary, moved with his family in 1835 to Eagle twp, Boone Co., Ind., on a land grant
given to Elisha Cragun by the Government for service rendered in the War of 1812. This Cragun family had accepted the
gospel of the Mormon Church, and were close friends with the Henry Mower, Sr. family who also joined. Simeon Cragun
married a daughter of Henry Mower, Sr.
Simeon Cragun and his wife made their way across the plains to the west. They traveled in Capt. Foote's company of 100,
arriving in Salt Lake City 25 Sept 1850, in Cold Springs, Davis Co. Utah in 1851, and then were among the first to settle in
Pleasant View, Weber Co., Utah, in 1852.
Since schools were no closer than 2 miles, and it was hazardous for the children to walk so far in bad weather, Simeon gave
a room of his home and his wife, Susan taught the first school in that locality. Simeon was an active man in church and civic
affairs, and a great lover of music.
