Elk Mountain Mission
In April 1855, forty one men under the
leadership of Alfred N. Billings were called
to establish a mission in the Elk Mountains.
They left Salt Lake City May 7, 1855, arrived
at Grand River June 11 and selected the site
for a settlement. By July 15, they had built a
fort 64 feet square, with stone walls, 12 feet
high, 4 feet at the base and 1 1/2 feet at the top.
Three of the pioneers, James W. Hunt, Edward
Edwards and William Behunin were buried
within the enclosure, which was located
about 800 feet from this monument.
