    Biography of Tunis RAPPLEYE
    Contributed By Dail Allen · 12 July 2014 ·

    TUNIS RAPPLEYE By Adelia Cortsen Son of John Ransom and Margaret Tillier Rappleye, Tunis was born February 2, 1807 in Ovid, Seneca County, New York. He was baptized a member of the L.D.S. Church November 29, 1832, just two years after its organization, April 6, 1830. He was the only member of his family to join the new religion. Tunis joined the Saints in Kirtland, and was one of the seventy men given a special blessing by the Prophet Joseph Smith for the faithful performance of work assigned them in the building of the Kirtland Temple. Shortly after this blessing was given, Tunis married Louisa Elizabeth Cutler. The ceremony was performed by Joseph Smith. Tunis and Louise were present at the dedication of the Temple in Kirtland, March 27, 1836. Moving westward with the Mormons, the young couple were at Crooked River, Missouri, when their first child, Emily Jane, was born December 21, 1836. She was followed by John Alpheus, August 22, 1838, died May 15, 1839; Lauretta, March 23, 1840, in Missouri; Clarissa, March 23, 1842; Ammon Llewellyn, September 23, 1844, in Macedonia, Hancock Co., Illinois; David Franklin Marcelis, June 22, 1849; Harriet Francis Melvina, June 22, 1849 at Cartesville, Iowa, died August 13, 1850; Ezra Tunis, Council Bluffs, Iowa, November 26, 1850; and Edmund Richmond, February 28, 1854, Lehi, Utah. Tunis Rappleye came to Utah on July 24, 1847. He was a member of the original company under Brigham Young, which arrived in Salt Lake Valley on that Day. Luke S. Johnson was the Captain of his company, and Tunis drove one of the teams belonging to President Young. In August 1847, Tunis, in the company of Shadrach Roundy, returned to Council Bluffs, to accompany another group of immigrants to the Valley. His wife had remained at Council Bluffs, with her little brood of children, and continued to live there until 1853, while Tunis made several “missions” back and forth, escorting bands of Saints. She gave birth to three children while at Council Bluffs, and after coming to Utah, died giving birth to another son. The family was living in Lehi at this time, 1854, and Tunis remained there with his children until approximately 1870, when he moved to Millard County, living first at Corn Creek, now known as Hatton, and then moving to Kanosh about 1874. During these years, he married Ann Staples. One son, Josiah, was born to them. Tunis served a mission to the Eastern states after settling in Lehi. He was a farmer by vocation. He fought in the Indian wars, and was a typical Yankee; shrewd, and witty. He died December 25, 1883, at age 76, and is buried at Kanosh.
