The following day, the three children were found in a nearby cave and taken by James Allred to Marysvale. Allred intended to sell or make a trade for the children. The little girl was killed by a violent bludgeoning. While the fate of one of the boys is unknown, the other Allred took to Spring City. There, Allred spoke with Peter Monson to offer the boy for sale. A deal was struck for a horse and bushel of wheat in exchange for the boy. The boy lived in a tool shed and was welcomed because he befriended Peter Monson's daughter who had been disfigured by burns to her face. Peter and Bertha Monson then adopted the boy and named him David Monson. He couldn't read or write other than being taught to sign his name. Most pronunciations of the name Monson came out as "Munson" or "Munsen". David Married Laura Jensen and together they had 8 children. 4 daughters and 4 sons. One day David went to Salt Lake City for the day, taking his son David Leonial with him. On the spur of the moment he took a ride to Wyoming (looking for work as a sheep shearer and cutting railroad ties) leaving his 12-year old son alone in Salt Lake City. He left his young son with no money, no transportation, and no way to get back to Mt. Pleasant. David Leonial made the 300-mile trek home through a series of hitchhiked rides and walking. David Leonial never saw or heard from his father again. He was known in Wyoming as "Indian Dave" Monson and died while cutting railroad ties in 1925 and estimated as about 60 to 65 years old. He is buried at Saratoga, WY. He sent no financial support, made no contact, or any attempt at communication with his wife or children for the rest of his life. Davids' oldest son (also named) David Leonial Monson had two sons. The oldest (also being named) David Peter was, until his death in 2017 at age 90, the oldest living member of the Koosharem Band of the Paiute Indian Tribe. Indian Dave Monson's second oldest son (Arthur LeRoy) was erroneously named Munsen on his headstone after being killed in a coal mining accident.
