It must have been soon after Charles' birth that grandpa decided to move to Alma, NM. A former neighbor, who was a Mormon, had settled there. He and grandpa corresponded and he persuaded grandpa to follow. They started from Independence, Missouri in the spring and it took 6 months to make the trip on the Santa Fe Trail. It is known that they stopped in NM for a month.

On the way to Alma, NM, they crossed the Rio Grande just above Socorro. The Rio Grande was then known as the Great River and the crossing was known as the Spanish crossing. They settle in Alma. Grandma said the ranchers fought Geronimo and when there was a burial in the cemetary after a skirmish, the young men would keep guard during the burial. Grandma said one day while they were eating dinner she looked up and saw Indians at the door and all the windows. Fortunately they were friendly and wanted salt.

Dr. Williamson was called and dressed the injury. It is the second escape Mrs. Malloure has had near the same place.
