In 1844 , Jude and his family joined a group of 150 people who had been recruited by James Emmett for a mission Joseph Smith had given him to explore the West. However, Emmett refused to follow the directions of the Twelve and was disfellowshipped. In Decemer 1844 , Brigham Young sent John Lowe Butler to strengthen the Company and was welcomed into the group. By spring, nearly a third of the Company became disheartened and returned to Nauvoo . In May 1845 , the balance of the Company moved west across Iowa to Fort Vermillion in present-day South Dakato . They built cabins, hunted and farmed. In May 1846 , Brigham Young directed them to abandon their homes and move south to join the exodus of the saints from Nauvoo at Council Bluffs . It was not until about 1852 that Jude and his family finally met up with the saints in their journey west. He was Captain of Ten in the Benjamin Gardner Company of 1852 .

Fort Calls (Box Elder) was seven miles north of Brigham City on U-89 at the base of the Wellsville Mountains. It was settled in 1854 and named after Anson V. Call, who built the local fort. Calls Fort was on the northern frontier of the territory for many years during this early period. In 1855 Thomas Harper and his family arrived. Call hired Harper as manager of his farm and in 1906 Harper's name was given to the settlement. He also became the Mormon bishop in that area. In 1871 the precinct was divided: the south side became Lake Side and the north side was Calls Fort. Today the entire vicinity is listed as Calls Fort.

CALLS FORT
The section lying between the northern boundary line of Brigham City and the southern boundary line of Honeyville has been at various times known as Calls Fort, the North String, North Ward and Harper. Main street is about 8 miles long prompting the remark that “it is the longest church block in the state of Utah”.
Lewis N. Boothe, in a short sketch of Brigham City, said that before 1853 the following families had farms in this section, and he named them in their order going north from the Lucius Snow Farm: Joseph Clapper, William Lewis, William Morgan, Taylor Jones, David Powell, John Thomas, John Gibbs, Benjamin Philips, William C. Thomas, Capt. Thomas, John Jones, Henry Boothe and Joseph Grover.
John Gibbs was the first to establish a homestead about four miles north of Brigham City. He and George Foster built a little shanty of rocks in the spring of 1852 and made a few other improvements, but they moved to Brigham that winter. In the spring of 1853, they plowed and planted more ground, and other families moved their implements and belongings into rough log houses. These small homesteads survived the winter of 1853-54, making it the first permanent settlement north of Brigham City.
In 1854, families were joined by Anson Call of Bountiful who built a home and blacksmith shop which he surrounded with a wall 8 feet high and 3 thick as a protection against the Indians. The fort enclosed a tract of land 120 feet square. The following year, 1855, Thomas Harper and Chester Loveland arrived, and in 1861 the settlement was strengthened by the arrival of James Mann, George Whitworth, Joseph Orme, Jude Allen, John C. Dewey, Thomas Baty, Richard Baty and John P. Barnard.
In 1862 a schoolhouse was built, and by 1871 two rock schoolhouses were built in the Calls Fort Precinct. The North School was known as Calls Fort. The South School was known as Lake Side. The Calls Fort Schoolhouse (also known as the North School) measured 22 x 44 feet. The Lake Side school measured 22 x 36 feet. Each Sunday, a Sunday School was held in each school building. Sacrament meetings were held alternately in each schoolhouse until 1892 when a rock church building was constructed. An L.D.S. branch was organized in 1862, with Chester Loveland as Presiding Elder. He was followed by James May, Sr. and Thomas Harper. On August 19, 1877 the ward was organized and Thomas Harper was called to serve as Bishop. Bishops who followed him were: Thomas Yates, Thaddeous Wight, Henry Yates, Emery Wight, Joseph Yates, Paul Hunsaker, Elbert R. Beecher and Jack N. Webster. Bishop Webster was the last Bishop to serve in the original rock building. The building was sold in 1977, and the Ward moved to the Honeyville building.
