History
The first two families to settle Omni Point in 1871 were Henry Dalton, a member of the Mormon Battalion, and Joseph Powell. Joseph Powell is undocumented and has been copied through time. The first name given to the settlement was Omni Point, because Richfield was called Omni. The "Point" was a high rise in the terrain, five miles directly south of Richfield. The town of Annabella was settled shortly after that, three miles to the North East of Omni Point by John Gleave and Edward Killick Roberts, along two creeks, which were named Cottonwood Creek and Annabella Springs. The town name was "Annabella", after two of the first women who settled there: Ann S. Roberts and Isabella Dalton. Isabella Dalton lived at Omni Point and died in 1873, two years after settlement. There is no memorial to her burial. She was likely buried at the Omni Point homestead. Henry Dalton moved his family shortly after that to Kanosh. Several married Daltons had settled and remained in Annabella.
