Notities over Benjamin Adrian Miles

Benjamin Adrian was born December 3, 1835 in Geauga County, Ohio to Albert and Maria Viets Miles.
When Benjamin was only four years old, his family moved to Adams County, Illinois, close by the Mississippi River. It is possible this was bounty land given to men who fought in the War of 1812. Benjamin's parents joined the church about this time in 1839.
In 1843-44, his family moved to Nauvoo. Benjamin was 9 years old when the prophet Joseph was martyred.
At the age of 13, he came to Utah with his family in the Heber C. Kimball Company. They reached Salt Lake City on September 3, 1848.
In this same group was Rachel Mahulda Lockhart. Hulda was born on February 24, 1838 to John and Margaret Towery Lockhart. She was born in Monroe County, Mississippi. Rachel had a good education and spoke French, which she had been taught by her mother.
Benjamin Adrian and Hulda's families settled next to each other in Big Cottonwood. Her father died soon after, and it is thought Benjamin Adrian and his brother helped with the farm work on the Lockhart farm.
Benjamin and Hulda were married May 5, 1856 in Salt Lake City when he became 21, and she was 20 years old. They lived the next five years in the Holladay area. Three children were born here: Benjamin Franklin, January 5, 1858; John Lockhart, April 1, 1859; and James Henry, December 28, 1861.
They came to Peoa in the early summer of 1856. They did not stay through the winter because of the harshness of the weather, the isolation, and the threat of Indians.
This young couple came to Peoa to stay in the middle of May, 1861, with their three children. They were some of the first settlers to come there. They had seven more children while living here: Edwin Hezekiah, January 1, 1863; Margaret Mariah, May 15, 1864; Mary Alice, December 24, 1865; Adrian Edgar, December 5, 1867; Albert, July 5, 1869; Don Carlos, January 10, 1871; Luchious Marion, June 24, 1872; Ida May, January 25, 1874; and Eva Maud, July 20, 1876.
The first homes were constructed of rough logs held together with wooden pegs, and or clay in the cracks. The roofs did leak though-- it was said that when it rained one hour outside it rained three hours inside.
Hulda was the first Relief Society President in Peoa, when it was organized in 1875. She kept the Relief Society records in her own house, and when it burned down so did the records.
She made a needlepoint picture that has been passed down to her son James Henry, and he gave it to his son Rue. Rue says he remembers going to his grandmother's home and seeing her sitting working on the spinning wheel. She died when he was 7 years old.
Benjamin was a very progressive man. He raised a lot of hay, grain and livestock. He was the first man to own a mowing machine in Summit County. People came from all over to watch it mow hay.
He, along with his brother-in-law Orin Lee, also owned the first saw mill in Weber canyon in 1865.
He built at least two houses in Peoa that are still in use in 1990; he must have been a good builder.
Benjamin passed away on December 5, 1888. He is buried in Peoa. The following is on his headstone:
We mourn the loss of a kind loving husband and friend.
He's gone, his work on Earth is done,
His battles fought, his race is won,
Blest is the path he led,
For he espoused the glorious cause
In prompt obedience to the laws of the Eternal God.
Hulda passed away twenty four years later on May 13, 1912. She is also buried in Peoa.
