of Acting Lieutenant Colonel A.J. SMITH. Mustered out with detachment
to date July 16, 1847. (This muster-out remark, and all to the same

reads as follows: “It is not conclusively shown where this detachment
was mustered out. Evidence on file indicated that it was stationed at
or near Great Salt Lake at time of M.O., but travel pay has been
allowed in each case from Los Angeles, so the detachment was evidently
considered as having been M.O. at that place the same as the balance of
the Company. GILBERT HUNT was a son of the Captain of the Company.

They commenced the kiln in April, after which BROTHER CHEENEY went to
the mines and BROTHER BAILEY burned the bricks – 50,000 in June, 1848.
Some tiles had previously been burned and perhaps some bricks may have

it is stated that ‘On the 10th of April, MARVIN S. BLANCHARD departed
this life at Pueblo, Colorado, after a lingering illness.’ We are
unable to reconcile this discrepancy. If he died April 10th he could
not have been mustered out July 16th.)
