Cousin Henry Simon Dalton was a private in Company B. John Brown was the Capt. of company D. With 14 people in the Company Headquaters' and 90 privates. including Harry and Edward Dalton. The first two family's to settle in Anabella, Utah were of Harry Dalton and Joseph Powell. From the Encyclopedic History of the LDS Church: Anabella was named after Ann S. Roberts, wife of Edward K. Roberts, and Isabella Dalton, wife of Harry Dalton, two of the first women settlers of the place. Harry Dalton settled in the Sevier Valley in the spring of 1871, taking up the springs (with adjacent land) which afterwards became known as Anabella Springs. Brother Dalton built the first log cabin there in the summer of 1871, and soon afterwards brought his family out. Other settlers arrived the same year. An irrigation ditch was commenced and many improvements made, though only a limited crop of grain was raised in 1871 by irrigating from the Annabella Springs. This, formerly known as Omni Point, was organized into an irrigation district in 1871, when the Anabella Precinct was also created. When the Sevier Stake was fully organized in 1877 Annabella was made a part of the Inverury Ward, and Tora Thurston was appointed presiding Elder of the Anabella district. He presided until May 24, 1885, when the saints belonging to the Annabella district, and who had belonged to the Inverury Ward, were organized into a regular bishop's ward with Joseph S. Staker as Bishop. On the same occasion a school house, which had been moved to the townsite, and also the townsite itself, was dedicated. Bishop Staker was succeeded in 1893 by Joseph W. Fairbanks, who in 1911 was succeeded by William Spafford Daniels, who in 1920 was succeeded by Herbert F. Roberts, who in 1930, was succeeded by Glen W. Thurston, who presided Dec. 31, 1930. On that date the Annabella Ward had 352 members, including 60 children. The whole population of the Annabella Precinct in 1930 consisted of Latter-day Saints, of which 180 lived in the village of Anabella. From Heart Throbs of the West: Volume 9 Among the Firsts in Utah Sevier Anabella. The first two families to settle here in 1871 were those of Harry Dalton and Joseph Powell. The first name given to the settlement was "Omni Point," Richfield being then called "Omni." The "Point" was a high rise in the terrain, directly south of Richfield, about five miles. The first white child born in the settlement, on November 5, 1871, was Sidney E. Roberts, son of Edward and Anna Rollins Roberts. Mr. Roberts was a resident of Anabella until 1945, when he moved to Richfield to live for awhile with his only daughter, Mrs. Vivian Davis. He spends most of his time doing ordinance work in the Manti Temple. While in Manti he lives with his widowed sister, Mrs. Rust. Niels M. Peterson of Richfield, supervised the construction of the first canal, known as the Old Annabella Canal, in 1872. At first it came only to the center of town, but later was extended to the Black Hills. A man by the name of Mortensen did the surveying, although he was not a surveyor, and had little equipment. John Cleave was the first postmaster, in 1874, and Samuel Cleave, his son, was the first mail carrier. He rode horseback to Monroe and return, a distance of about fourteen miles, for eight cents a day. The first county bridge between Richfield and Annabella, over the Sevier River, was completed in 1885, by town and county cooperating. Isaiah Huntsman was the first blacksmith. The first shoemakers were Al Hancock and Toro Thurston. They made shoes from old boot tops. George Roberts was one of the first beekeepers. He sold honey to the townspeople at a much lower price than we pay now. The first man from Annabella to establish a sawmill on Cove Mountain, about 1880, was William Parks. To pay for the first road that were built to the saw mills, a toll gate was kept for many years. Each man traveling the road with logs, poles, or lumber was charged a toll of twenty-five or thirty cents. according to the size of his load. The first schoolhouse was a one-room log cabin with only a fireplace to heat it. The children had no desks, but sat on wooden benches made from split logs. The first man to teach the Annabella children was Henry Hudson. He taught in Central, but the Annabella students walked there to attend school before their own schoolhouse was built. The first bishop of the ward was Hugh Lisonbee, with Edward Roberts and Joseph Asey as counselors. He was bishop when the United Order was practiced here for a short time, but when he moved away, Annabella was joined to the Central Ward, with Tora Thurston as Presiding Elder. Annabella's first L. D. S. missionary was Joseph Jackson, called in 1883 to the Southern States. Emma Johnson Spafford was the first Relief Society President, in 1880. Anna Rollins Roberts was made the first president of the Primary in 1879. The first president of the Y.L.M.I.A. was Mary Ann Fulmer, appointed in 1881. In 1880, Edwin T. Thurston had been appointed president of the Y.M.M.I.A. The first Sunday School superintendent was Ezra Huntsman. Herbert Gleave was the first choir leader. The first organist to play from notes was Priscilla (Kay) Mecham. The first Town President appointed was Jos. W. Fairbanks, in 1910.
