Hole-in-the-Rock Connection:
Rebecca [Becky] was the cook who fed the four hungry scouts, who found the route to Bluff and Montezuma Creek. They had not expected to find a camp of white people, and were surprised to find Brother Harris and his family had come from Colorado and were camped just south of where Bluff City is now situated. This was Dec. 28, 1879.
This was the scouts 4th day without food, and Geo. Hobbs recorded, "Sister Becky [Harris] Warren, a member of the Harris family was frying the meat for our supper. I don't believe any torture in hell could have been worse to us."
George Hobbs further recorded that he couldn't resist the temptation taking another biscuit, then another, eventually eating 22 biscuits!
Rebecca later moved to Arizona and according to family genealogist, Lorainne Laws, attended the funeral of Spencer Kimball's mother, an occassion where all the Relief Society Sisters wore white dresses. This photo was probably taken then. (All photos courtesy of Lorainne Laws).
