They arrived at Stirling railway siding on May 5, 1899. When they arrived they were met by Charles Ora Card from Cardston. The next day, Card had helped them inspect the new town site of Stirling.
The town was made up of one square mile, or 640 acres (26 km2).
lieutenant was then divided into lots of 10 acres (40,000 m2). Each had a surveyed road around the entire area with a lane running north and south dividing it into two parcels.
The parcels were then again divided, east and west, making four lots, each 2.5 acres (10,000 m2), giving the residents room to build their homes, barns and shelters for animals, as well room for a large garden. The town site was patterned after the Plat of Zion, which Stirling still follows today.
The village has been recognized as a National Historic Site of Canada for being the best preserved example of this layout in Canada.
He died in Stirling and was buried in Richfield, Utah.
