They established their colony about four miles east of Fredericksburg on the Pedernales River. Their leader was Lyman Wight. They built homes, a school building, a temple, a water powered saw, grist mill and wood turning lathe. A flood washed everything away and they left in 1853. They were going to migrate to Utah and other states. There is a fenced Mormon Cemetery on Carl Schmidzinsky's farm. As far as I know no one has done a survey of this cemetery. Some of the names may not be spelled correctly because the handwriting of the census taker was hard to read. 243 - 243 54 M Farmer New York Wight, Lyman Wight, Henrietta 45 F .
