His early boyhood days were spent in Logan where he shared with his parents the trials of early pioneer days. He often went for timber, up Logan Canyon, with his father. He also went with his father to Plain City for salt which was taken from the Great Salt Lake. Those were days of poverty. During his 14th and 15th years he spent working at the Logan Dairy on Bear River herding and milking the cows. When he was 17 years old he went to work on the railroad for William D. HENDRICKS and Thomas E. RICKS building railroad from Dillon to Butte, Montana. As he was the oldest boy he was obliged to help his father obtain food for his family. In the summer of 1882 he worked on the Northern Pacific Railroad grading the first railroad that came into Helena, Montana. The following spring President Ricks hired him to drive two yoke of oxen to Snake River bringing one of the first companies to this (Upper Snake River) valley, reaching Rexburg May 18, 1883. This was in high water time and there were no bridges over the Snake River; the ferry boat was pulled three quarters of a mile loaded with the company, their wagons and cattle. He stayed and worked for President Ricks. There was much to be done, clearing the sage brush from the land and getting out timber to build their homes, store, meeting house, grist and saw mill. His education was very limited and he always feared he would be called to some responsible position, but he was willing to do the best he could. At the time of his marriage at twenty one years of age most of the land around Rexburg was filed on, so he went down on the Snake River and filed a claim on a hundred and sixty acres where Hibbard, Idaho is now located, and resided there. In 1907 Josiah, George Mortimer, James Hendricks and Joseph E. Rigby formed what is known as the Hibbard Brick Co. and made a kiln; enough brick was burned to build a house for each of the four men. Josiah built and completed an eight room brick house in 1908. Josiah was ever ready to assist anyone in need and to support any move for the betterment of the community. He served in various capacities, MIA, Sunday School, ward teacher, school trustee, Seventies Quorum officer, genealogical committees and president of the Island Ward Canal Co.
