Solomon was murdered in the "Mountain Meadows Massacre", Sept 11, 1857, in Utah by a band led by John D. Lee, and other Mormon leaders. Solomon and about 121 other Pioneers were migrating West, most of them from Carroll Co, AR. At that time, the white population of the desert of Utah was one hundred percent Mormons, pledged to do away with Protestants wherever they were found.
