The Horace Russell and Lydia Ann Hobson family, along with the Jacob Brewer and Sabra Ann Fillet family had moved together from Utah's Dixie (St. George area) to Arizona and settled in at Snowflake Camp, later named Pinedale, by 1880.
They made shingles from the pine trees which grew there. It was while living here that their children Henry, who was 23 and Hattie, who was almost 15, met at a barn dance. They were married in 1887 in Snowflake and then ten years later, when Henry was called on a mission to Indian Territory in Kansas, the little family traveled over the Honeymoon Trail to St. George be sealed.
Jacob Brewer and his brother Charles then, in covered wagons, moved their families down the Black River to the Gila River at Thatcher, arriving on 1 January 1900, before founding Lebanon, south of Safford, later that year. Hattie and Henry Russell's family (without Henry, who was on his mission) followed.
