From the life of Eliza Crandall Deal:
She met her husband, John Wesley Deal, and they were married in
Illinois. While living there they had four children, who also accompanied them
across the Plains.
After their arrival to the Valley, they were sent to settle in
Springville. Their plots were decided by drawing lots from a hat. They were
among the first to settle there. Their home was a one-room log house. The first
winter, they had a dirt floor and oil cloth for the windows because glass was
not available. Her husband made bricks and built the first brick home in
Springville for her.
Eliza used her spinning wheel, spun the thread, wove cloth for her
family and others. In winter young folks gathered at the Deal home after
sleighing parties for candy pulls and other socials.
