Henry and his wife, Caroline (or Catherine) Harfield, joined the LDS Church and left for America in 1854. St. Louis was their first destination and Caroline died there August 2, 1854. In a short time Henry married Frances Dinwoodey and they traveled on to Salt Lake, arriving in October of 1856. They moved north to Sessions Settlement and purchased this adobe house and lot in 1857 from Evan Smith for $240. When Johnston's Army carne in 1857 the residents were instructed to move south in case the Army tried to take over the area. However, Brigham Young instructed Henry, the blacksmith, to remain behind in order to shoe horses and repair wagons. Soon all local residents returned to their homes. This two-story house was built of adobe brick on a stone foundation. It has den til molding under the cornice, relieving arches above the windows, and ceramic tiles in the fireplace. In 1859, Henry added a small addition to the house. Then a rock granary was built on the east and a root cellar on the west side. Remodelings include a bathroom 60 years ago, shutters, porch with metal supports and an east addition. Henry and Frances had seven sons and one daughter, Catherine, who married Ven Pace and they lived here. This was Catherine's only horne all her life. Henry had two Utah Governors in his family. Afton Rampton, Henry's granddaughter, married Charles Rendell Mabey and they lived across the street at 73 From: Dwellings,: A phJ." Y D",ellingP~M Bountiful Homes Built Bed5ore]900.

There was no Governor's Mansion at that time and Governor Mabey continued to live at this home in Bountiful the first two years of his administration, then the family moved to Salt Lake City. Two doors east of Charles R. Mabey lived a great-grandson of Henry Rampton, named Calvin Rampton, who served as Utah's governor from 1965 to 1977, for three terms. Kenneth Simonson bought the home after Catherine's death and built a separate building east of the house for his business of vinyl floor coverings. Kirkland Sign Company now occupies the small building. Sources: Alta Holbrook Taylor; Jane Simonson.

Sulphur was m·ce medidne. The powder was sprinkled on the stove for patients to hreathe the fumes. Frank Ashdown said that Aunt Rachae1 also rolled it up like a : dgarette and h1ew it down sore throats. The hest medidne was made ofgoldenseal, sugar, consecra ted oil and hrandy. He said this good medidne was never a voided. When someone had a toothache, the tooth swelled and you couldn't he sure ifit was a toothache or a chaw oftohacco that was heing nursed.
