The Durfee family living in Kirtland had escaped the early period of dire persecution in Missouri. But in the Spring of 1837, they decided to join the saints in Missouri. 

"When the Government Forest Act commenced a survey, this canyon, including Adelaide's cabin, became part of the forest reserve. The government took over the land and paid her husband $50 for the cabin and fence. For a time, the cabin was used for a ranger station. In 1927, towns people began going to the mountains, holding family picnics and church outings in the canyon. Automobiles made transportation faster and more and more people began to enjoy the beauty and serenity. Doctors recommended the canyon for some of their patients. In 1928, at a May Day program, the Kanosh L.D.S. Church Sunday School officers, Obenadi Abraham, Andy Avery, Harvy Cummings, Bishoprick Preal George, James Charlesworth and Thomas Whatcott decided to meet with Ranger James Jensen to get permission to make this a more desirable place to hold their outings. The meeting was arranged by Ranger Jensen and through suggestions and efforts of the family, relatives and Kanosh people, the whole county was notified. The name decided on was "Adelaide Park" because she was the only white woman to live there and pioneer the place. When asked if she minded if they named it Adelaide, she said, "No, I don't mind, but that wouldn't be a good name would it?" On May 24, 1935, a large gathering of Millard County citizens, families and relatives of Adelaide Tippett Paxton, met in celebration at this choice spot in Corn Creek Canyon. Adelaide learned to love this place but did not live to celebrate this great occasion. Under the direction of the National Forest Department, Parker Robinson of Salt Lake City, dedicated "Adelaide Park." The celebration was under the direction of Ranger Jensen, and many others who helped the Paxton family fulfill their father's prophecy made so many years previous, that this homestead would some day be a National Park. The Paxton family and friends immediately went to work to further beautify the park. Jess LeFevre, a son - in - law and his wife Edith were appointed caretakers.
