³History of Freeman E. Tanner. "Biography of Freeman Everton Tanner
Added by rebeccacall2 on 5 Mar 2008Originally submitted by to Law Family Tree on 23 Dec 2007
Freeman Everton was the third child of Elizabeth Beswick and John Tanner. He was born into a prosperous home where family members were accustomed to most of the things available, but measured by present standards their life was not one of luxury and ease.
He arrived into the world three months before the organization of the Mormon church which he would spend the rest of his life serving. He was two years old when his parents joined the Latter-day Saints, four when they moved to Kirtland, OH, and eight when they moved to Far West, MO.
During the six years they spent in Montrose, IA, Freeman was changing from a boy to a young man; he was sixteen when the family left Montrose and headed West, and eighteen when they arrived in Utah.
Fourteen of those eighteen years, the only ones he would remember, were spent with a people who were wanderers, moving from place to place seeking a permanent home but unable to remain long at any one place because their enemies would not let them.
During the last years in Montrose it is certain he was working on the farm, for none of John Tanner's children grew up in idleness. It is likely Freeman spent some time in the schools of Nauvoo between 1840 and 1846, and this may have been his only formal schooling, unless perhaps some first grade work in Kirtland. Any schooling he had left much to be desired as a letter he wrote will show.
As a lad of sixteen he would have been of considerable help during the distressing trek across Iowa in 1846, but his presence has to be assumed as his name is not mentioned. The nearly two years he was at Winter Quarters, 1846-1848, was spent assisting his father in herding the cattle of the camp and tending crops to be used for the final trip to the valley. A biography of Freeman, written by his son Beswick, indicates that the family intended to travel to Utah in 1847, but they were delayed by a fire.
The crossing of the plains took place between July 1, 1848, and October 19 of that year. The family traveled to Salt Lake City, UT with the Willard Richards company. 526 individuals were in the company when it began its journey from the outfitting post at Winter Quarters, NE. This company was divided into two sections, the Willard Richards section and the Amasa Lyman section. The Lyman section left the outfitting post on 30 or 31 June and the Richards section left on 3 July. Freeman remembered nothing of special interest on that long trip, showing how completely he was accustomed to rugged pioneer life.
He lived in south Cottonwood from the time of his arrival in the valley until the family left for the San Bernardino Mission. He assisted his father and brothers in building the first home constructed in the "Amasa Survey" which were made of logs brought from Little Cottonwood Canyon. He also helped to plow and plant the first crops grown there, which he said, did well; he added, "from this time on we had plenty to eat."
When Freeman's father died in April of 1850, Freeman , now twenty, was left at home while his brothers Myron and Seth went to the California gold fields. The family soon left for the San Bernardino Mission. There is no information as to why the family decided to follow Amasa Lyman to California, but Freeman says that Lyman had married their sister Maria, "so the family decided to go with Amasa." The family held Amasa M. Lyman in high esteem and they may have gone largely because Amasa was going, and they wished to remain with him.
When they arrived in San Bernardino, there was work for all the brothers, some in mines and others on farms. They saved their money as much as possible after living expenses were taken out. They did very well and soon Myron, Seth, Freeman and Joseph pooled their money together and bought a farm. They began farming, stock raising and trading. Freeman loved horses and liked to train them. He was an expert horseman and carried the championship for riding in California for a number of years.
Nothing is said of how the horses were secured, but it is a safe bet that Freeman and his brothers were rounding up "wild" horses and after breaking them, making a substantial profit by driving them to Salt Lake for sale where there was a ready market.
During the early months of 1858, a rumor spread that the United States was sending a military force against Utah by way of the Pacific. One version of the rumor was that the force was proceeding up the Colorado River and would prevent the Mormons from retreating into Mexico. These rumors led President Brigham Young to send a party of men under Amasa Lyman to investigate. Freeman was one of the nineteen men in this scouting expedition. They left Cedar City on the first of March and returned in the latter part of May having determined an expedition up the Colorado River was totally impractical.
In 1860, the partnership between Myron, Seth, Freeman and Joseph broke up. Freeman and Myron each moved to Payson, UT and settled. Freeman started to farm and raise horses. He imported fine breeding stock with a view to improving his riding and draft animals, and people came from all over the valley to buy and trade for his horses.
A highlight in his life was the opportunity to entertain President Brigham Young and his company on one of his many excursions through the state. The horses performed all kinds of tricks he had taught them. It was enjoyed very much by President Young and his party. It was stated that he owned as many as five hundred head of horses at one time. He was one of the first men to raise alfalfa hay in Payson, finding this made an excellent feed for his fine animals.
In the Uinta National Forest, is a section named for Freeman Tanner. Tanner's Ridge is in the Spanish Fork Ranger District, side canyon of Sheep Creek. It is named for Freeman Tanner, who ran a large band of horses and was a well-known horse trader with the Indians and the European-American settlers of the area."
