There Edmund West died and was buried. When spring came, the wagon train continued on across Iowa. At this time, Mary West married Edson Herrick. They were the first white settlers with sheep (several hundred) to come to Audubon County. But fearing Indian troubles, they returned to Wisconsin, coming back to Audubon County in 1856. So it was with his mother and stepfather that C. Dwight West came to Audubon County. Mr. Herrick built the first plastered-walls house in the county. To Mary and Edson were born: Ida (Mrs. Harry Houston, later Barringer); Lilly Ann (Mrs. Elihu Myers); Emma (Mrs. Mack Love); Julius, married to Jessie Wilcutt; Cora (Mrs. Grant Brown, later Mrs. Lloyd Hinkle); and Laura, unmarried. C. Dwight was married to Hannah Verna Miller (1856-1930), the daughter of Daniel Miller and Mary [M] (Zaner) Miller of Exira. They made their home on section 16 of Greeley Township, afterwards on the southwest quarter of section 10 Exira Township and lived there several years. He also lived in section 35 HAmlin Township just north of Exira. Their children were: Etna (Bowen, Mrs.Fred Wahlert); Lelia Burl who died in infancy; Grace (Mrs. Floyd Young); Dayton (married Clara Artist); [James] Ernest (married Olive Barnham-Freeman); and Laura (Mrs. Fred Hansen). Descendants living in the area at the present time [1982] are: Mrs. Edwin Christensen (Vivian Bowen); Mrs. Tony May (Marjorie Young-Nissen); Mrs. Willis Nelsen (Iola Christensen-Peppers); Mark Peppers; Julie & Chris Nelsen. Only descendent with the West name is Barry West, formerly of Exira, now [1982] living in Los Lunas, New Mexico.
