to another during the early years of her life.<span>
</span>She never knew what real love and family life was like because of this
situation.<span> </span>Parley P. Pratt baptized her
into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at the age of 8 in

leaving to her oldest daughter the responsibility of driving the team. They
joined the James C. Snow Wagon Company.<span>

<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Julia Ann Lockwood Hales</span></div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">1824-1903</span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Julia Ann was
born August 10, 1824 in Canandaigua, Ontario County, New York,
near Palmyra.
There is some confusion as to the name of her father, it is either Joseph or
George Lockwood. Half the records say Joseph and the other half say George and
each of them have different parents. Her mother, Annis Gillett had also been
previously married, there is confusion here also. Annis was married to a
Jonathan Barlow or Edward Thompson or both. </span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Wayne B. Hales,
Julia Ann's grandson, writes "Soon after Julia's birth, her mother was
granted a divorce from her father. He had no use for the gospel which was so
dear to her mother. Julia Ann was shifted from one family member to another
during the early years of her life. She never knew what real love and family
life was like because of this situation. She was baptized into the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at the age of 8 by Parley P. Pratt." </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Julia Ann and
family followed the Saints when they moved to Kirtland, Ohio.
Then around June 1838 her family moved to a small community called Huntsville, Randolf,
Missouri. They found quite a big
branch of the Church there. This is when Julia Ann first became acquainted with
Charles Hales. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">After being
driven out of Missouri Julia Ann and her family settled in Quincey, Illinois. Here she married
Charles Henry Hales at the age of fifteen on October 31, 1839. They had one
baby, Eliza Ann and moved to Nauvoo,
Illinois where Julia Aedena and
George Gillett (named after Julia Ann's brother) and Mary Isabella were born to
them. While living at Nauvoo Julia Ann and Charles were neighbors to the
Prophet Joseph Smith and knew his family very well. Julia was a dear friend of
Emma Smith and was a member of the first Relief Society in Nauvoo. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Julia Ann and
Charles were driven out of Nauvoo in 1846 and made their home in Garden Grove, Iowa
for six years 1846-1852. Two other children were born to them in this place
Charles Henry, and Joseph Lockwood. They were driven out of their homes again
in 1852 and were able to take with them across the desert only those articles
absolutely necessary for a family of eight. Julia Ann walked most of the way
leaving to her oldest daughter the responsibility of driving the team. They
joined the James C. Snow Wagon Company and arrived in Salt Lake City in the fall of 1852. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Their early years
in Utah were
harsh ones and they were often hungry. They first lived in Salt Lake
and had their seventh child there, they named him John Taylor because John
Taylor had traveled West with them on the same wagon train. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">In the spring of
1854 Charles and family moved to Big Cottonwood (located just south of 48th
South and west of Highland Drive
in Salt Lake County).
Here Stephen Frederick and William Parley were born. For five years they lived
here and farmed. In 1856 Charles had rented a farm and put in crops just as the
young plants began to make the fields green the terrible grass-hoppers came and
destroyed the crops as they did all over Utah, but they were faithful and were
saved by the Sea Gulls, which God sent to their rescue. </span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Julia Ann's
husband, Charles, took a second wife in the spring of 1957, Francis Brunyer. Of
this union thirteen children were born.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The families
moved to Spanish Fork in 1858. Julia Ann had her last three children there;
Mariah Josephine, Jonathan Hyrum, and Harriet Elizabeth. Julia Ann had twelve
children in all. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Julia Ann was a
real helpmate to her husband. Many times they had very little to eat. She was
glad to get seamless sacks to make dresses and trousers for her children. She
cooked over an open fire until 1868 when her son, Joe, went off to work and
bought her her first stove. In spite of their hardships, their children were
all strong and healthy and grew to adulthood to form large faithful families of
their own.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Julia Ann served
as president of her ward Relief Society in Spanish Fork and gave much
compassionate service to her sisters and those in need during those early
pioneer days. </span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Julia Ann and
Charles both sang in the Spanish Fork Choir for 20 years. Kate B. Carter writes
"The Spanish Fork Choir had some notoriety in rendering both sacred and
secular music, having some of the best soprano voices in the Territory, and
affording amusement and refined enjoyement to the citizens of Spanish Fork and
the neighboring settlements by giving concerts and social parties. They
attracted the attention of Pres. Brigham Young and on two occasions they
visited Salt Lake City
by his invitation, the first to sing at a conference held in the Bowery and
afterwards at the opening of the new Tabernacle. At another time, while on his
way to attend the dedicatory services at the opening of the Nephi meetinghouse,
Pres. Young and party stayed at Spanish Fork and held service in the afternoon.
Afterward Pres. Young asked the choir to accompany him to Nephi to assist at
the services there. The choir spent two days at Nephi having a most enjoyable
time." There is a picture of the choir which includes both Julia Ann and
Charles Hales.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The Indians
killed her daughter, Mary Isabella and her husband in 1866. They were on their
way to Southern Utah after visiting the folks
at Spanish Fork.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">After Charles
died, she made her home with her youngest daughter, Harriet E. Nelson. Julia
Ann lived as a widow for fourteen years and died at the age of 79 in the home
where she raised her family. Due to her age she suffered a stroke and died on
February 18, 1903. She was buried at Spanish
Fork Cemetery. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Julia Ann was
much loved and respected by her neighbors and friends. She was remembered as a
faithful wife and loving mother and a true Latter-day Saint.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #4f4f4c; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.0pt; letter-spacing: -.1pt; line-height: 115%;">Born 25 July 1804,
at Berkshire Lower Canada. (Lower Canada is now Quebec, and Berkshire is now in
Vermont, the U.S. - Canadian border having been changed a few miles since
1804.) He was the eighth son of Joel Bradford and Tryphena Smith. His parents,
along with his father’s twin brother Hosea and wife Parthenia, who was
Tryphena’s twin sister, moved north from Springfield, Vermont. There seems two
reasons for this move; politics and religious unrest in Vermont. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #4f4f4c; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.0pt; letter-spacing: -.1pt; line-height: 115%;">Not long after Je
Hial was born the two families started west. Next we find them in the 1820
Census in Switzerland County, Indiana. There the Bradford families became quite
prosperous. Over the years they owned hundreds of acres of land near the Ohio
River. Later, for some reason not known, Hosea and family moved up into Ohio.
While living in Cotton Township, Switzerland County, Indiana, Je Hial (Hial)
met and married Abigail Sprague in Vevay, Indiana 21 August 1830. There in
Indiana five of their seven children were born. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #4f4f4c; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.0pt; letter-spacing: -.1pt; line-height: 115%;">In or about 1839
Hial’s father-in-law met “Mormon” missionaries in Switzerland County. Soon the
two families had joined the Church. While living in Switzerland Co., Hial
became the legal guardian of his sister Lois’ son, James Washington Nicholes.
In November 1842, Hial petitioned the court to be released from this
obligations, the boy was almost of legal age. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #4f4f4c; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.0pt; letter-spacing: -.1pt; line-height: 115%;">We find that Hial
and Abigail had already been up to Nauvoo, IL, and had their patriarchal
blessings on 12 March 1841, from Hyrum Smith. So we assume that at least Hial
went back to Indiana to this court proceeding and also to sell several parcels
of land. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #4f4f4c; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.0pt; letter-spacing: -.1pt; line-height: 115%;">In Hancock County,
IL, Hial and Abigail bought a farm 6 miles south of Nauvoo on the Mississippi.
A little while later he purchased another one from a neighbor. Hial’s son,
Rausel, injured his wrist and they were taking him to a doctor, fearing the
hand would have to be amputated. On the way there they met the Prophet Joseph
Smith. He examined the child’s arm and hand and told them to go back home and promised
them that it would be made well and strong. With faith in the Prophet they
obeyed and the child was healed. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #4f4f4c; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.0pt; letter-spacing: -.1pt; line-height: 115%;">Little is known of
Hial’s activities while in Nauvoo, except that he was a faithful
Latter-Day-Saint. He was ordained a Seventy on 15 Dec. l8. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #4f4f4c; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.0pt; letter-spacing: -.1pt; line-height: 115%;">Toward the end of
Abigail’s seventh pregnancy she became very ill. Hial was called in from the
fields where he had been working with his son, Sylvester, who was not quite six
years old. Hial immediately went to get a sister-in-law to come help Abigail. Upon
arriving back (after dark) the sister-in-law went right in the house to help
and Hial took the horses to the barn. He was a long time coming in and as they
went to look for him they found him trying to feel his way to the house. He had
gone blind and was very ill. He died that night, a strong man cut down in his
41st year. (We recognize this age does not agree with that published in the
“Nauvoo Neighbor” but it does seem to agree with other dates.) We suppose Hial
died of a stroke of some sort. A small notice appeared in the newspaper,
“Nauvoo Neighbor” of 3 Sept. 1845 under ‘Sextons Reports for week of August
24th. It states, “Died: Hial Bradford, age 39”. Thus ended the life of the
first Bradford to join the Church. He died in the act of helping, being a good
husband and father. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Abigail Sprague's
ancestors came from Holland to England<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>about 1560.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>A coat of Arms was granted to Sir Hugh Sprague Esquire, by the Queen of
England in 1580.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>grant has been passed down to this generation
of Sprague's.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Abigail's forefather,
William Sprague, came to America
from England
in the ship "Abigail" in 1628, in the company with Governor
Endicott.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>William and brothers, Ralph
and Richard, were founders of the city Charleston,
Massachusetts in 1638.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Charleston is
now part of Boston.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They were persons of character, substance,
enterprise, excellent citizens and public benefactors as were many of their
descendants. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Abigail's grandfather,
Ebenezer Sprague served in the Revolutionary War, first as Sergeant in 1777 and
then as First Lieutenant in Captain Samuel Taylor's 6th Company, Hampshire
County Regiment-commissioned November 18, 1779.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

Sprague, was born November 10, 1775 in Massachusetts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Her mother, Abigail Jeffers, was born July
18, 1772 in Connecticut.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When Hezekiah Sprague and Abigail Jeffers
were married they settled in Oxford, Cananga County, New
York, where eight of their children were born; Ira,
Satira, Abraham, Lucretia, Lois, Rawsel, Ithamer and Gad.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In 1809 Hezekiah disposed of his holdings to
his brother Basil and moved about fifty-five miles northwest into Cayuga County, New
York.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Abigail
was born here August 14, 1812, and later Henry was born at the same place.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>About 1822 Hezekiah sold out and again went
west with his wife Abigail and children Lois, Rawsel, Ithamer, Gad, Abigail,
and Henry, and located in the southeastern part of Indiana.</span></div>

Bradford, of the "Mayflower" family, on August 21, 1830 in Cotton Township, Switzerland County, Indiana.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Abigail was only sixteen years old at the
time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In 1831 Hial and Abigail had their
first child, Mary Ann, next Rawsel was born in 1833, then Jesse in 1835 but he
lived only 16 days.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Granville was born in
1837 and Sylvester in 1839.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When contacted in 1838 by
the Elders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Abigail was
quickly converted.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She allowed the
missionaries to stay in her home, but husband, Hail, was a little slower
accepting the Gospel and took time to check things out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When Hial did join, he was the only one of
his ten brothers and sisters to join the church.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Abigail's father was very much opposed to her
allowing the missionaries into her home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>However after being told "they sometimes entertain angels
unaware" he let them come to his home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He was a learned scholar of the Bible and scoffed at the missionaries at
first, in spite of this he stayed up all night discussing principles of the
gospel, and by the next morning he applied for baptism.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then Abigail's mother, Abigail, and her
brother, Ithamer, his wife and her other brother, Henry all joined the
Church.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In 1839 they all moved to
be with the body of the Saints and settled at Nauvoo, Hancock County, Illinois.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There Hial bought a forty-acre farm about 6
miles below the city near the Mississippi river,
he later purchased another forty-acre farm adjoining it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Pleasant, their sixth child was born here in
1843.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Abigail and Hial were
devoted friends and neighbors to the Prophet Joseph Smith and his wife
Emma.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Being a man of means, Hial loaned
the Prophet money many times with no security.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The Prophet told him, "they would be neighbors in the
hereafter."<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hial was ordained a
Patriarch on June 11, 1843, by the Patriarch Hyrum Smith.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Abigail and Hial both
received their patriarchal blessings November 12, 1841 under the hands of
Patriarch Hyrum Smith.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Abigail was
promised that her name should be perpetuated, that she should be honored by
posterity and that the blessings of God should rest upon her descendants.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She would be "blessed in basket and in
store" and would gain a knowledge of God and His mysteries that would be a
comfort to her heart in time of need.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>These promises with others gave her faith and strength to bear up under
the severe trials so soon to overtake her.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On one occasion their son,
Rawsel had a badly infected arm.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They
had done all they could and had exercised all their faith but the doctor said
it must be amputated.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On the way to the
doctors they met the Prophet who had been away for some time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They told him of their problem.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He examined the arm and blessed him. Then
told them to return home and the arm would be healed, they obeyed the Prophet
and went home and the promise was fulfilled.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Persecutions ran riot in
Nauvoo.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When the remains of the murdered
Prophet Joseph Smith and his brother Hyrum Smith lay in state, Abigail and her
daughter Mary Ann were among the thousands to view him.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Abigail was very ill when her
baby <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Tryphena</b> was born September 30,
1845.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With a high fever and childbirth
she lay at death's door.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Everyone in the
house had fever and chills except Mary Ann who was trying to take care of the
family.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hial went for the midwife on a
horse and after he had brought her, he went to put the horse in the barn.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was so long in coming that the family went
in search of him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They found him feeling
his way to the house.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He had taken
suddenly and violently ill.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some thought
he had been kicked by the horse others thought he had had a stroke.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He died during the night. They’re little
eight-year-old son, Grandville, also died two days later.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So in just a couple of days Abigail lost her
beloved husband Hial and dear son Grandville and gained a new daughter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Two vacant chairs met her gaze when Abigail
was able to sit up again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As she grew
stronger, this broken hearted mother resolved to carry on. Her courage and
sacrifice gave her greater faith in God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Persecutions continued and
the Saints were being driven from their homes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>When definite plans were being made by the leaders to move westward,
Abigail decided to go also.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But first
she was able to take out her endowments in the Nauvoo Temple
the January 21, 1846.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Her parents also
took out their endowments.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Picture, if you can a
widowed mother and five children making plans for a thousand mile trip to an
unknown country.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the early spring of
1846, Abigail sold her two forty acre farms, with all the tools and implements,
and a two thousand bushel crib of corn, livestock and personal property for two
yoke of oxen and one wagon that was so old it needed a lot of repair before it
could be used for the journey.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But
otherwise she had enough means to equip herself and family equal with others of
the company.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When Hial's two brothers
from Indiana
learned of Abigail's intentions to go west, they immediately came to Nauvoo. As
they were well to do, they offered to take her and her children home with them,
where they could be educated and reared in luxury.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But first they must deny Mormonism.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Abigail's testimony was too strong to be
thrown aside.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She trusted in the Lord
and could not be persuaded-no, nor even bought.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Abigail refused to go, or let her children go with them, so they attempted
to kidnap the children, thinking Abigail would follow. But they failed in their
plans and finally left.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She continued her
preparation for the trip.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When all was
in readiness, her parents and her brothers, Ithamer and Henry, and their
families, left Nauvoo with the body of the Saints.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They each were equipped with ox teams, a cow,
a covered wagon loaded with provisions, clothing and seeds for planting.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They were ferried across
the Mississippi River and took one last look
at all that had been so near and dear to them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>After leaving Nauvoo they encountered many bad roads, much mud and
discouragement.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Henry with his wife and
children settled a few miles down the river from Burlington.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He had lost his cattle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the
search for them he got a few days behind the company, too long to rejoin
them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He never came any further west.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Parley P. Pratt
established a way station at Mount
Pisgah, Iowa.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ithamer and his family decided to stay there
for the winter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They had a great deal of
sickness at the camp that winter, and Ithamer lost his wife and all five of his
children.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Abigail and her children
spent the winter at Winter Quarters with her father and mother.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Here her mother, Abigail Jeffers Sprague died
January 22, 1847 and was buried.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the
late spring Ithamer came to Winter Quarters to join with his family for the
trek west.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On June 21, 1847, Abigail
with her father, her brother, Ithamer, and her children, Mary Ann, (sixteen),
Rawsel, (fourteen), Sylvester, (eight), Pleasant, (four), <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Tryphena</b>, (two), started west.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They traveled in Bishop Edward Hunter's company of one hundred wagons,
Captain Joseph Horne's company of fifty, and Archibald Gardner's company of
ten.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Elder John Taylor, who was a member
of the Twelve, traveled in their company. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>During the journey one ox
died so they hooked up "Old Lil" the milk cow.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Each morning they would milk the cow and put
the milk in the churn and each night a large pat of butter was taken out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The jolting of the wagon did the trick.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The "Old Sow" a
cannon used in the war of 1812, was brought across the plains with them to be
used against the Indians if necessary.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Sylvester Bradford, Al Babcock, and Wiley Thomas took turns riding
it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Toward the end of the long
trek Abigail's wagon became so "good-for-nothing" that she prayed
night and morning that it would hold together until they reached their
destination.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It broke down completely at
the mouth of Emigration
Canyon, almost in sight
of their goal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The next day a company
was sent to meet them, so they landed at Salt Lake
on October 1, 1847, just two months and seven days behind the first company
with Brigham Young. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Upon reaching the valley,
they settled in the "Old Fort" which is now Pioneer Park.
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mary Ann and Rawsel helped make the
adobes that went into their first home in the valley.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since they were the oldest children a lot of
the work fell on them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hezekiah was
seventy-five years old and badly worn by the journey, but happy at its

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The hardships and hunger
of that first winter in the valley were never forgotten.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For six weeks Abigail and her family never
tasted bread, but lived on roots, greens, and old beef.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the spring they planted crops which came
up beautifully only to be devoured by the black hordes of crickets.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>President Young called on everyone to fast
and pray.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then came the miracle of the
gulls, which glutted themselves on the crickets and then disgorge the dead
crickets.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In two days the crickets were
gone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They irrigated the land and
replanted and raised enough grain for bread for the coming year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With the scarcity of food,
clothing, shelter and paying employment, the problem of caring for the widows
and children became a serious one. President Young felt a very keen
responsibility for them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The doctrine of
plural marriage was now openly taught as a revelation from God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mary Ann, Abigail's first child, was around
eighteen years old and was a passionate admirer of Archibald Gardner since the
trek west.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When Archibald asked her to
be his plural wife she gladly accepted.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They went to President Young to have him perform their ceremony.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>President Young asked, "Where is the
mother?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I want you to marry the Widow
Bradford and be a father to her family too.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Archie, your shoulders are broad and you must help carry the
burden."<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So on April 19, 1849,
Archibald Gardner married Abigail Sprague Bradford and Mary Ann Bradford, thus
obeying the Prophets council.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They all
moved to Mill Creek and became a part of the Gardner household.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rawsel worked at the various Gardner mills, and later married Jane
Gardner, a step cousin.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sylvester,
Pleasant and <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Tryphena</b> did what they
could and Abigail and Mary Ann cooked for the workmen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Abigail had one daughter with Archibald,
Abigail Gardner in 1850.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At the time of Johnston's Army they all
moved to Spanish Fork with the rest of the Saints.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Abigail's brother, Ithamer, brought her a
ten-year-old Indian girl.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He had felt
sorry for the girl because she had been stolen from her family by a warring
tribe and was a slave.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He bought her for
a pony then gave her to Abigail to raise.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>She was adopted into the family and named Fanny.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Her brother would come visit once in a while
but when any other Indians came around she would hide.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Fanny did not want to go back to her own
people.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Abigail learned the Indian
language at this time and made friends with the Indians, and was able to be of
great service when trouble arose.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On
different occasions she sat in their circles and smoked the pipe of peace with
them.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then sometime in 1863
Abigail moved to West Jordan.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Her two sons, Sylvester and Pleasant
Bradford, bought farms in Spanish Fork near the river, and her daughter
Tryphena kept house for them. The three of them were all dear to each other all
through their childhood. They were inseparable.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>So on October 15, 1864 a triple marriage took place in the Endowment
House in Salt Lake City, and a wedding reception
for the three young couples was held in West
Jordan where Abigail lived.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sylvester was married to Mary Jones; Pleasant
to Mary's sister, Jane Jones; and <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Tryphena
</b>to George Gillette Hales, all of Spanish Fork.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There they made their homes.</span></div>

wonderful storyteller and took delight in relating to the children tales of
witches and fairies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In her later years
she suffered severely with breast cancer but after being operated on, it ceased
to trouble her.</span></div>

<div class="MsoBodyText">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Nancy
Maria Bigelow, wife of Andrew Love, is the maternal grandmother of the
writer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She was born in the Empire
State; the birth having occurred near Junius, Seneca Co., New York, the second
day of February, 1814.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She is the
daughter of Isaac Bigelow and Angeline Prentice, both of whom are of English
descent.</div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="text-indent: .5in;">
The Bigelow coat of arms is a
very ancient one in England.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was granted to Sir Richard de Baggerly
hundreds of years ago.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The motto of this
family is, “Finis Coronat Opus.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It may
be translated from the Latin to read, “The End Crowns the Work,”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">The Bigelow Family
tree has John Biglo spelled <u>B I G L O,</u> resident of Watertown, Mass.,
as the immigrant ancestor to the new world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Observe changes in spelling of the name during the centuries.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Gilman
Bigelow Howe is the author of the Bigelow Family History.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His book is accepted as factual by
professional genealogists.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">It was Mr. Howe, who
arranged one of the first family reunions in America.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was held in Washington,
D.C., and lasted three days; Lucy Bigelow,
wife of Brigham Young, and her daughter Susa Young Gates, traveled from Utah to be present.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Lucy Bigelow Young
and Nancy are cousins more than a half dozen times removed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Their names are listed with others from the Utah branches of a
widespread American family.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The book
presents pictures and histories of many intellectuals, eminent in the field of
education and other professions. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">However, the higher
education was far removed from the life of Nancy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Her’s was a short existence as measured in years, less than thirty-nine
of them, full to the brim of pioneering.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Her parents first and then her husband were forever traveling westward
on the frontiers of America.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The covered wagon, more often than not, was
her home as she wended a weary way from cabin to cabin.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Angeline Prentice
Bigelow, her mother died when Nancy
was nineteen, Isaac Bigelow, her father, in a short while followed her mother
to the grave, leaving two younger children for Nancy to raise, a brother of ten
years, a sister of eight.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Alone, she managed to
care for them until she was nearly twenty-one.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>On 8 Dec. 1834, near the town of Decatur,
in central Illinois,
she became the bride of Andrew Love. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Some years later,
this couple acquired a farm in the neighboring county of Moultrie, some twenty miles away.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The farm consisted of three hundred acres,
parts of which were heavily wooded, among the trees were nut-bearing
varieties.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Here the young people
settled; astonishing as it is, there were four children in the home from the
first day of their marriage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Andrew and
a younger sister had been bereft of the father of their family since he was ten
years of age.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His mother, Elizabeth
Ewing Love, gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, three months after the death
of John Love, her husband, leaving Andrew, young as he was, his mother’s sole
help in rearing the twins. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Andrew’s mother
passed away when the twins were between twelve and thirteen, entrusting to
Andrew the duties of father and mother.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>When Andrew married, the twins were barely sixteen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Consequently, the young couple commenced
married life with them and with Nancy’s
sister and brother.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">The family of six
made a success of their group life in Illinois.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They won the esteem and confidence of their
neighbors, during the ensuing years; for, when a post office was established in
the community, Andrew Love was appointed the postmaster; and the town which
grew up around his farm was given the name of Lovington in his honor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To this day it exists having a population of
more than a thousand.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>They
prospered materially, but suffered misfortune with their children.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Twin boys and twin girls and later another
daughter died at birth or in early infancy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>During the decade, only one child, a daughter <b>Elizabeth Angeline</b>,
lived.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She grew to maturity in Utah, married George Bradley, settled in Moroni and reared seven sons and three
daughters, all lived except one, to survive their mother and grew to splendid
manhood and womanhood. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">One spring two elders
of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints came into the Love
neighborhood, preaching that the heavens had again opened, that the pure Gospel
of Jesus Christ was re-established with its priesthood and primitive power,
through the American Prophet, Joseph Smith.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Andrew and Nancy Love believed their testimony, accepted the Truth, and
were baptized into Church at Lovington,
Ill., 1 June 1844. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">They were grief
stricken, but unshaken in faith, when news came of the martyrdom of Joseph and
Hyrum Smith at Carthage Jail, Hancock Co., Ill.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This tragedy occurred less than a month after they were baptized and not
more than two hundred miles away.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">In the spring of
1846, they were feverishly preparing to follow the leadership of the
illustrious colonizer, Brigham Young, into the wilderness.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This exodus of the Love family was hastened
by mob-violence.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They were notified by
an armed band to quit Moultrie
County at once.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Some of their
erstwhile neighbors and friends, led by wicked men had determined to
exterminate the Mormons.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On this
frontier and others, there were hardened criminals who had fled from eastern
states to escape just punishment by law.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This element became leaders in the atrocities against peace-loving
Mormons, at the martyrdom and, also, in the driving the Saints from their homes
in this and in other states.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">When Andrew Love was
assailed by mob hysteria, he would have lost his life, if it had not been for
the prompt action of courageous friends, who among whom were Charles Bryan and
John Cazier.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The latter, who was known
to be a dead shot, stationed himself at the door with a gun leveled at the
leaders of the on-coming mob.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Fortunately,
prompt action stayed the assassins’ bullets.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Mr. Bryan, though not
a Mormon at that time, was a close friend.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He shouted at the mobocrats, “If you drive Andy Love out of this county,
I go too.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mr. Bryan had at hand a
horse, saddled and bridled on which Andrew escaped into nearby cornfields.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Thus it was, with
their little daughter, Andrew and Nancy
journeyed forth with the body of the Church to secure religious freedom.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was an age-old experience, but not one to
be expected in the new world under a government specifically guaranteeing the
right to worship God, according to the dictates of conscience.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Andrew did not
receive as much as a penny for his three hundred rich acres and the
improvements he had made in more then a decade of hard work.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">The four children
that reared were grown up and it is assumed that they were married when Andrew
and Nancy became Mormons.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Only one,
James Otis Bigelow, united with the church.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He and his wife, Elizabeth Cazier, traveled west later, making their
home along side the Loves.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">John Love remained at
Lovington.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In Andrew’s diary, spring of
1854, is this statement, “Received a letter from my brother John.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He is merchandising in Lovington and doing
well.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">When Andrew and Nancy
were expelled from Illinois, they crossed the
Mississippi River at Fort Madison, arriving at Highland Grove on Keg Creek, Iowa
in August where they passed the winter of 1846.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Early the next spring, Andrew went to St. Louis, Missouri
to procure an outfit for the journey across the plains.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He returned with three good stout wagons,
teams, provisions, clothing, and necessary supplies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">On 9 June, 1847 they
left Highland Grove for the West.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After
they ferried the Missouri river at Winter Quarters, and also the Elk Horn
River, they camped where
the companies were being assembled in semi-military manner, preparatory to the
grand exodus.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">“The organization
into Hundreds and Fifties and Tens needs explanation to be correctly
understood.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a count neither of
the number of wagons, nor of families, nor of the total number of individuals,
but rather of the able-bodied men; those who were able to carry arms, handle
teams and cattle, act as guards and perform other services in protecting and
providing for the aged and infirm, and the women and children.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">The Love family
traveled in the third company organized, Captain Jedediah M. Grant’s Hundred,
Joseph B. Noble’s Fifty, and Josiah Miller’s Ten.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One of Andrew’s teams was driven by himself,
the second team was driven by Nancy
and the third by a hired boy.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">In this trek, they
relied upon their God for protection when beset by accidents, attacked by
marauding savages, or molested by wild animals.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They endured the hardships of the journey with fortitude, accepting its
pleasures with thanksgiving.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Nancy Love had the
misfortune to fall out of her wagon one day when the road was unusually
rough.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The wheels passed over her
body.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Elders were called to administer
to her.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Because of her great faith in
God, the broken ribs were knit, the wounds were healed at once and she
continued her journey in comfort.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
family has known of this all along, but of late the miracle has had unexpected
verification.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Eliza R. Snow, a
gifted poet and writer, in her book, “From Kirtland to Salt Lake City, “ on
page 40 states; “A Sister Love was run over by a wagon loaded with 1600
pounds.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Wheel ran over her breast.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She was administered to and was around again
in a day or two.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Improvement Era,
December 1943 issue, under the caption, “Pioneer Diary of Eliza R. Snow,”
prints, “Sister Love is run over with a heavy loaded wagon.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was dated Thursday, 19 August 1847; two
days later, Saturday, 21 August, “This morning I heard that Sister Love sat up
and combed her hair.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is truly a
manifestation of the power of God.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Andrew and Nancy
arrived in Salt Lake Valley 4 Oct. 1847, ahead of the winter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They were among the twelve or sixteen hundred
Saints then in the valley.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They located
in what is now Pioneer
Park in the 6<sup>th</sup>
ward.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a walled-in space called
the Fort, built for protection against Indians.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">The first home in the
west was a house made after the style used by the Spanish with adobe, sixteen
inches long, eight inches wide and four thick.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>For flooring, Andrew used a wagon bed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The roof was made of poles, grass and dirt!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When winter came with its heavy winds, snows
and rains, the roof collapsed; again they were homeless, but undaunted. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">In early spring,
1848, the next home was made of logs as well as adobe, located on a city lot in
the 7<sup>th</sup> Ward outside of the Fort.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The log cabin measured 16 by 19 feet and the adobe room was 32 by 16
feet, built on the corner of 6<sup>th</sup> South and West
Temple.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Nancy</span><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">’s
second daughter, Mary Ellen Love Neff, whose life was a poem of good works,
lived into her ninety-third year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She
was born in this house 18 April 1850.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Here, Andrew and
Nancy took part in the unique experience known as the War on Crickets.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Food stores, that the pioneers brought with
them, were almost exhausted, spring of 1848.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Life itself depended on crops.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Suddenly, clouds of huge crickets blackened the sky; wherever they
lighted to feed, the promising fields were stripped of leaves.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Colonists battled with every weapon known to
them; man, women, and children made heroic efforts to kill the insects, but
nothing they did, stayed the on-coming scourge.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Fighting ceased, they knelt in fervent pleas to God to banish the
invaders.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Immediately, myriads of white
winged sea gulls flew in from the west.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The gulls ate their fill of black crickets, disgorged all they had
eaten, ate again ravenously, repeating the process until the pests were
destroyed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Enough life-sustaining crops
were harvested to furnish winter subsistence.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>A Miracle of God had saved the sincere religionists from starvation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">A few years after the
pioneers arrived, the need for iron became acute.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was necessary in their manufacturing
projects, building, irrigation, farming.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Scouts reported mountains of iron in Southern Utah.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Brigham Young visualized a great iron
industry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He took steps to colonize what
was called Little Salt Lake Valley in Iron
County, several hundred miles south of
Salt Lake City.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a hazardous venture in the dead of
winter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The first company consisted of a
few intrepid souls under the able leadership of George A. Smith, later
counselor to Brigham Young.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Andrew and
Nancy Love were among those who were called to this mission.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When the baby, Mary Ellen, was eight months
old, they set forth in icy winter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
was the fifteenth day of December 1850; this caravan took to the covered
wagons.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Andrew built a log
cabin near what is now Parowan, planted and reaped a crop of essential
foods.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Conditions were disappointing;
they lacked equipment and machinery for mining and smelting iron ore.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also, the industry needed men who knew the
business of iron making.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They were
released from that mission fall of 1851.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">In many respects,
this journey for the Loves, entailed more suffering than did the crossing of
the plains; because of zero weather, heavy snows and rains, dangerous passes,
deep ravines and sliding hills.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">At this time these
southern valleys, Indian tribes would steal children from an enemy tribe to
sell them to the whites.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Caleb was the
name given an Indian boy about nine, sold to Andrew.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As savages were cruel to such children, it
was kindness to purchase them and provide them with homes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Andrew and family traveled northward and
stopped at Provo
where they bought a cabin and spent the winter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">In Feb. 1852, they
took to the road north, settling in Juab Co., near Nephi, now Mona, then called
Clover or Willow Creek.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As usual a cabin
was built and crops planted.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Corn was
growing tall, along came heavy winds.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Next morning the stalks were lying flat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Andrew was discouraged, but Nancy
did not despair; instead, she suggested that they try to make the corn stand
up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He replied hopelessly, “It will not
grow.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She went out and began to stand
the stalks upright, tamping the soil close to the roots.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Seeing her success, he went to her aid until
all stalks were upstanding.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The result
was they harvested a good crop.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Mona, then a four
family farming community, was surrounded by friendly Indians who later became
hostile.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was wild country; for that
September Andrew, with the aid of neighbors, killed a grizzly bear in the
vicinity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Later in the autumn, a white
man who chanced to be hunting in the neighborhood was killed by savages.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">In November, Nancy became ill.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was said to be erysipelas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She grew steadily worse and in mid-life died,
27 November 1852.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Under strange skies in
this desolate spot, she was buried the next day, it being Sunday.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Officiating at the funeral, was her Captain
of Ten, Josiah Miller, and she was honored by the presence of friends from
Nephi.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The husband and children had lost
their comforter, their best friend! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">A press notice of the
day lauds her ready sympathy and wide spread friendships.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It said that her natural skill as a nurse had
taken her into the homes of neighbors and friends to minister unto them
whenever sickness prevailed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also, it was
said of Nancy
that she was a good housekeeper, that she was lovable, a sunny soul who
delighted in company and entertained graciously.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Brigham Young advised
the families of Mona to abandon their homes and flee to nearby Nephi which they
did 18 July 1853.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Would it not please Nancy to know that her
husband and children, with the Indian child, now a baptized member of the
group, were safe within the Nephi Fort?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The building of this wall was supervised by Andrew, being completed 30
Nov. 1854.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was to provide safety from
attack by, internationally known, Chief Walker and his braves.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Is Nancy happy knowing that a granddaughter has
served with distinction for two decades in a deanship at the institution of
learning founded by her beloved friend and leader, Brigham Young?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Does she rejoice that a grandson lived to
pen, “History of Utah,” a monumental work, a history of her people, the origin
of her church, the early day settlement of Utah which will live as long as history is
read?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Without doubt, Nancy wishes that each
who follows in her line shall leave a mark for good.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thus, shall the splendor of her loyalty,
courage, faith in God, live on, glowingly! </span></div>

nineteen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Her father, Isaac Bigelow, in

Nancy to rear, a brother of ten, James Otis, and a sister of eight, Catherine
Ann.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She cared for them until she was
married to Andrew Love, just before she was twenty-one.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Consequently, this young couple commenced

with Andrew for the sale of his vivacious daughter, Elizabeth, because he
wished to marry her.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She had acquired a
very attractive personality.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Time proved
that she had the instinct as well as the very best of training for creating a

Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They arrived in the Love neighborhood preaching that the heavens and
again opened, that the pure gospel of Jesus Christ was re-established with its
priesthood through the American Prophet Joseph Smith.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Andrew and Nancy Love believed their
testimonies, accepted the truth and were baptized members of the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, at Lovington,
Illinois, June 1, 1844.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Neighborly
affection was changed to hatred when it was known that this family had joined
the Mormons.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Andrew Love and his wife
were preparing to move with the body of the church westward, but when they left
Illinois they
did so at the point of shot guns.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
rage against these settlers grew into fury about the time of the martyrdom of
the Prophet Joseph Smith and his brother Hyrum, June 27, 1844.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They were murdered one hundred and fifty
miles away at Carthage
jail, Hancock Co. by a mob of two hundred, with faces painted as a disguise.</span></div>

saved only by the prompt action of his friends.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>John Cazier, who was recognized as the best shot in the entire county, and
who stood ready to kill the first one in the mob who fired at Andrew.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Charles H. Bryan, by ingenuity, succeeded in
getting Andrew away from the mob.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Bryan family were staunch
friends of this family of Mormons, though they were not identified with the
church.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Even so, Charles shouted at the
mob: “If Andy Love is driven out of Illinois,
I go too.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Later, the Bryan family were baptized into the church,
also the Cazier family.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Though they did
not emigrate until four years later, these families experienced the hardships
incident to crossing the plains in covered wagons and ox teams in their trek
westward.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They continued fond neighbors
and close friends in the valleys of Utah
as long as life lasted.</span></div>

of his old home, from October, 1869 to March 1870.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While there he visited his farm.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He discovered that it had been divided into
two and three acre lots, and was occupied by poor families.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To clear the title if those home sites, he
gave the power of attorney to his brother, John Love, who resided at Hammond and arranged with
the probate judge of that locality to give deeds to the new owners.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This he did that no injustice might be done
anyone who had purchased his land.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thus,
lost to him was this valuable farm without compensation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The gospel was his compensation, for he loved
it above all else, and felt himself forever indebted to God for giving him a

Lake Valley
October 4, 1847, ahead of the winter, thereby avoiding many hardships.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They were among the twelve or sixteen hundred
Saints then in the valley.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They located
in what is now Pioneer
Park in the Sixth
Ward.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a walled-in space called
the Fort, built for protection against Indians.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">In early

in the Seventh Ward outside of the Fort.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The log cabin measured 16 by 19 feet and the adobe room 32 by 16 feet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was on the corner of Sixth South and West Temple.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Dimensions of Andrew’s cabin are of interest because they tell the story
of cooperative building in the community life of the Mormons as contrasted with
pioneers of New England where each man built
his own cabin.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One man could handle a
log no longer than eight feet hence all New England
pioneer cabins were not wider than eight feet.</span></div>

impressive story of how the sea gulls brought life to these pioneers, 1500
miles from food stores, is told in Andrew Love’s diary, dated February 1848:
“Ploughed land, sowed grain, early in the spring, crickets came, still we
ploughed again sowed, planted, ditched, fenced against the pests.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The crickets grew fat, field after field
succumbing to the invaders.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hope seemed
to stand aloof.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All of a sudden sea
gulls came and made a devastating war on the crickets.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our colony was saved, and with right good
will we acknowledged the hand of the Lord in it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I harvested that fall 1000 bushels of corn

first public duty assigned Andrew was keeper of the stray-pen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A thankless office was this, keeping animals
from unfenced green things in garden and field, because horses and cows had to
forage for a living and the pioneers need for food was desperate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Andrew confided to his journal concerning
this job.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“It is a hard berth.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Later, public affairs more to his liking were

Young, to open Iron County to habitation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They started December 15, 1850.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It was a hazardous venture for the Loves in the dead of winter with a
baby of eight months, Mary Ellen, born in Salt Lake City,
April 18, 1850, and a little girl of eight, Elizabeth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Andrew built a log cabin near what is now Parowan and planted and reaped
a crop of essential foods.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the fall
of 1851 all were released from this mission because the conditions were
disappointing.</span></div>

children from enemy tribes and sell them to the whites.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Caleb was the name given an Indian boy about
nine, sold to Andrew.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As savages were
cruel to such children, it was kindness to purchase them and provide for
them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This family of five traveled
northward, stopping at Provo
where they bought a cabin and spent the winter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>From Provo, Andrew made a trip to Salt Lake City and sold
his home there for one thousand dollars.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>A few years later at Nephi, in accordance with his desire, Caleb the
Indian was baptized into the Church, after he had learned the first principles
of the gospel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As he grew in years he
became a valued farm helper, but his life was short.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was true of many Indians raised by the
whites, possibly because the savages had been accustomed, from time immemorial,
to open-air living, uncooked food and sunshine for clothing.</span></div>

near Nephi, now Mona, then called Clover or Willow Creek.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As usual a cabin was built and crops
planted.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Corn was growing tall when
along came rain and heavy winds.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Next
morning the stalks were lying flat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Andrew
was discouraged, but Nancy
did not despair, instead she suggested that they try making the corn stand
again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He replied hopelessly, “It will
not grow.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She went out and began to
stand the stalks upright, tamping the soil close to the roots.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Seeing her success, he went to her aid until
all stalks were upstanding.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As a result
they harvested a good crop.</span></div>

germinate and crops might mature.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He had
to grow food speedily for family and animals else all would suffer pangs of
famine.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At each new homesite, in four
separate localities of Utah
within the space of six years, he raised food from virgin soil and built some
sort of shelter for teams, cattle, sheep, chickens, and pigs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In Nephi he had also an adobe yard.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Though
Andrew toiled at the roughest work known to pioneering, he was recognized by
his associates as a natural student.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In
every spare moment he studied -the gospel first, then law, geography, mathematics,
history.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He helped to organize and was
president of the Nebo Literary and Agricultural Association.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was active in every phase of civic life, he
was never happier than when studying and expounding gospel doctrine, at
priesthood meetings, at his own fireside, or in the homes of neighbors and
friends.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His priesthood quorum
activities entailed some public speaking, especially in later life, as he was
then a member of the high council of Juab Stake of Zion.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">It is
interesting to note that within a period of twenty-five years, Andrew was
elected to serve his community in half a dozen offices, being in addition a
teacher, a stock raiser, a farmer, a builder.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This many-sidedness was not unusual in early-day Utah.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Its citizenry was made up of converts from the more advanced centers of America and Europe.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Certainly, the planting of a modern
civilization in a remote and primitive desert required a study people with
imagination, ability, industry and stability of character.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Appropriately enough the Bee Hive was
selected as a symbol for Utah,
typifying the industry of her people.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">At an
election held at Nephi, November 8, 1852, Andrew, then a resident of Mona, was
elected a member from Juab County to the Territorial Legislature, Salt Lake City.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He states in his diary: June 1, 1853, 10
a.m., “Utah Legislature met in joint session.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Did some business and adjourned till 2 o’clock for the legislative ball
which commenced at that hour in the Social Hall, $10.00 per couple.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Two suppers and at the last, refreshments
were passed around.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Everything in
splendid style.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">This
comfortable amusement hall was completed earlier that year and served the city
for social purposes the next sixty years.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">From the
quotation, this social affair is easily reconstructed. Andrew left a detailed
description of another such event which continued three days.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This particular festival, no doubt, lasted
fourteen hours.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Guests of honor would be
Governor Brigham Young with other high ranking officials of church and
state.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As was the custom, the ball
opened and closed with an appropriate prayer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>All were seated at long heavily laden tables.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After grace was offered, they partook of a
well-cooked banquet during which time toasts were intermingled with vocal
numbers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Late afternoon, dancing would
commence interspersed with speeches from distinguished guests and bits of
drama.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>During the evening the second
feast was served and eaten amid great merriment resulting from wit, humor and
original rhymes from those present.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Dancing was resumed and continued until the wee hours, when light
refreshments were “passed around,” after which there would be more
dancing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>More than likely, dawn
witnessed the last farewells.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At this
party no tobacco was used neither alcoholic beverages, tea nor coffee.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Gaiety there was and frolic a plenty, without
stimulants.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The next
year, Andrew was definitely busy, supervising fort building, serving as an
alderman in the city council of Nephi to which he was elected, and at the same
time acting as a trustee for the school.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Later, August 1854, he filed his bond and was sworn into the office of
Juab County Recorder.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In November 6,
1855, his duty took him to Fillmore, Millard
County, to perform grand
jury service.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At the time of the
Johnston Army invasion, when Utah was once
more under martial law, he was a commissary officer and saw service in Echo Canyon
during the winter of 1857.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The
Johnston Army invasion, in which two thousand soldiers were sent to Utah to put down an
alleged rebellion, is known in history as “Buchanan’s Blunder.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Brigham Young, duly elected, was serving as
governor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The magistrate, sent to Utah by federal
authorities to preside over superior and district courts, was Judge
Drummond.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was a corrupt man.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Falsified statements submitted to Washington by him
affirmed that Governor Young had burned state and court records, that treason
was rife.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Without the slightest
investigation an army was dispatched under the command of Col. Albert Sidney
Johnston.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Fiery speeches by John B.
Floyd, secretary of war, branding the Mormons as defiant secessionists, aroused
public alarm.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Senator Jefferson Davis,
later president of the Confederacy, demanded drastic action.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ironically, the three men who pushed their
country into this childish blunder shortly found themselves directing shot and
shell at the American flag in the War of Rebellion.*</span></div>

from “History of Utah,
1847 to 1869” by Dr. Andrew Love Neff.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">On June
13, 1859, Andrew received the appointment of probate judge of Juab County,
being elected to this position by the Joint Assembly of the Territorial
Legislature Eighteen years later, in 1877, he was superintendent of Juab County
schools.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Voters had returned him to this
office for several terms.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">So much
for Andrew’s public trusts and activities.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Turn now to his domestic affairs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>A year and a half subsequent to the loss of his wife, Nancy, he gave his
children a new mother, Sarah Maria Humphrey.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>A truly good mother and grandmother she proved to be.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This young lady, who was married to Andrew
Love, was a native of Toronto,
Canada, born
April 6, 1833 of a good family, her parents being Henry Humphrey and Mary Ann
Horn.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They were among the early converts
from Upper Canada
and united with the church during the lifetime of the Prophet Joseph
Smith.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sarah Maria and her sister Mary
Jane Humphrey Brower, two years younger, and their brother Lamoni Humphrey,
born at Kirtland, November 19, 1837, came to Utah.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Sarah
Maria was united in the holy bond of matrimony to Andrew Love, March 8,
1854.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The ceremony took place in the
“Endowment House.” Salt Lake City.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The marriage was for “time and
eternity.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She stood at the alter again,
this time representing his first wife, Nancy Maria Bigelow, who thus was
“sealed” to Andrew for “eternity”, vicariously.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Six
months after his marriage to Sarah Maria, on October 8, 1954, Andrew, heeding
the teachings of his church in that day, married a plural wife, also for “time
and eternity.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She was a young French
woman the same age as Maria, having been born March 9, 1833, in Le Havre, Normandy,
France,
daughter of Jean Henry Louis Henroid and Domitile Daligne, the twin sister of
Eugene Alphonso.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These two and a younger
brother, Gustave Henroid, were in a group of eleven, the first of their city to
accept the gospel and receive baptism into the restored church of Jesus Christ.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was November 1842, that President John
Taylor, then an apostle, opened the French Mission, where upon this young lady,
Henrietta Clementine, became a faithful member and left home January 31,1853,
to emigrate to America with her brothers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>“We sailed from Liverpool, February 15, 1853, to New Orleans on the ship “Elvina Owen.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The
young girl, Henrietta Henroid, with her younger brother located at Nephi.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At once she began teaching school.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Andrew states in his diary: May 5, 1854, “My
children started to school.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Martha
Haywood is the teacher, Miss Henroid assists her.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One month later he wrote: “Today Miss Henroid
called to see me about books, because I am trustee.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Because
of life-long intimate contacts with children, small ones as well as half-grown,
who were not his own, but for whom he worked and was responsible , Andrew Love
had developed a great fondness for youth and understood its problems.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nevertheless he was strict.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Spare the rod and spoil the child” was the
accepted idea of parents as well as teachers.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">In March
1865 Andrew opened a private school in his own home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was held the year round.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Soon it was moved across the mill race into a
log cabin owned by Father Cazier, and the last two years it was removed to the
new Social Hall of Nephi and continued in all some five years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was absent from school six months from
October, 1869 to March 1870, during which time he was a missionary in Illinois.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">In
October, 1945, an intimate of the family put this question to a life-long
resident of Nephi, Isaac H. Grace, who is nearly ninety: “Did you go to Andrew
Love’s school?”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He answered: “I attended
his school by the old mill race.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was
a strict teacher.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We always called him
Judge Love.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Gracious
modes of living were familiar to Andrew’s mother in Ireland.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nancy
had possessed refinement.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Henrietta from
France carried into the
desert the habits of genteel living, being born and educated near the magic
city of Paris,
then as now, an art center.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This city-bred
wife had much to learn about the work of pioneering.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>December 1854 the diary has this interesting
note: “The women of my household have been making molasses from squash, for the
past three days.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Indeed, many types of
work went on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There was lye for soap
making to be made from wood ashes; candles for long winter evenings to be
molded from tallow, wool, from the time it left the sheep’s back to school
dress, passed through many a tedious process.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Sheared, picked over tuft by tuft to free it from burrs and grass,
scoured, dried, it was then hand-carded and made ready for spinning into skeins
of yarn.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It then passed to the hand loom
for weaving into warm clothing and lastly, the pattern was cut out ready to be
hand sewn.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The
diary: “April 1855, my wife Henrietta is assisting me at school.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the autumn of that year a son was born to
Henrietta, September 17, 1855, and christened, John Henry Henroid.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was three years old when his mother gave
birth to a little girl, October 1, 1858.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The child, who received the name, Henrietta Maria, died the same
day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Her mother suggested that she be
named in honor of Maria, “Because she has been a true sister to me.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Twenty
days later, October 20, the radiant spirit which was Henrietta’s slipped into
eternity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mortality among mothers and
babes was pitifully high.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">From
early scenes of Andrew’s and Maria’s marriage, they had heartbreaking
sorrow.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Five of their babies succumbed
at birth or at best survived but a year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The daughter, Nancy, loveable and intelligent, was carried off by
scarlet fever at ten years of age.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Charlotte, an adorable little girl, was accidentally drowned at the age
of three.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>George, their ninth child,
unfortunately was born deaf and dumb, but he was blessed with an obedient,
friendly spirit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The parents’ most
earnest prayer was that God would perform a miracle in his behalf.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Andrew
Love passed from this state of existence on December 7, 1890, at the age of
eighty–two.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was just and helpful to
his wives and children, his neighbors, his church and state.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Life as he lived it demanded great
determination and stern self-discipline, traits typically Scottish.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">

are faithful in performing vicarious ordinances for deceased kindred who in
their life-time were denied the opportunity of baptism and endowments.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Though pioneering duties were exacting,
Andrew Love found time to commence this work in the Old Endowment House and
later at the St. George Temple, the first in Utah, dedicated April 6, 1877.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He and his children and grandchildren have carried
it on faithfully.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Perhaps no other
member of his family did so much for the blessing of the dead as Nancy Maria
Love Neff.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Upwards of thirty years she
devoted herself to the work of opening a door of progression for worthy women
among her ancestors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Two decades Nancy also served as an

care of his deceased wife Nancy’s little daughters, four and twelve.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To the three-year old son of Henrietta, she
extended a mother’s watch-care.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Until
her allotted years came to an end, October 7, 1900, they and their children
were the recipients of her hospitality and motherly devotion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She grieved to be under the necessity of
leaving the burden of her afflicted son George, then thirty, to her only

adherents of the somber religions of the Quakers and Scotch Covenantors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Each lost a parent at the age of nine or

they traveled north, later to settle in central Illinois.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They became postmasters in their respective districts, not far from one

served in the legislature of Illinois in 1840,
Andrew served in the legislature of Utah

Abraham Lincoln and plain citizen, Andrew Love, were endowed with profound

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>George Gillet Hales was the son of
Charles Henry Hales and Julia Ann Lockwood.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He was born at Nauvoo, Illinois, on March 19, 1844.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>George was the third of twelve children and
the first boy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was named after his
mother’s brother.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>George was almost two when the family
was driven out of Nauvoo in early months of 1846.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Hales family made their home in Garden
Grove, Iowa for next five years, 1846-1851.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the spring of 1851, they started on
the trek West.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They joined the John
Taylor Company.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After a long and hard
journey they arrived in Salt Lake City in the late summer of 1851.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Their early years in Utah were harsh
ones and the family suffered much for want of food.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many times they had only greens to eat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>George's father, Charles, made shoes for the
family; he had learned the trade from his father. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the spring of 1854, the Hales family
moved to Big Cottonwood (located just south of 48th South and west of Highland
Drive in Salt Lake County).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For five
years they lived here and farmed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The family moved to Spanish Fork in
1858.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Again they had little to
eat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>George's father, Charles, went to
Camp Floyd to work shortly after Johnston’s Army came.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When he came home he had considerable
clothing for the children.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This made
them very happy because before this his mother, Julia Ann, had to make their
clothes from seamless flour sacks and canvas.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>George had few opportunities for an
education, but attended the school taught by Silas Hillman for a short time. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>George was quick to learn and had a passion
for reading.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>George read Pilgrim’s
Progress, Gulliver’s Travels, Silas Mariner and every other book he could get
his hands on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At the age of twelve he
had read the Bible through.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Tryphena was living with her two
brothers, Sylvester and Pleasant, as their housekeeper in Spanish Fork.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They had always been very close.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>George and Tryphena probably knew each other
from church. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>On October 15, 1864, George married
Tryphena Bradford in the Endowment House in Salt Lake City.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Her two brothers, Sylvester and Pleasant
Bradford, were also married the same day, they married a pair of sisters.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So they had a real celebration of the six
couples at the Archibald Gardner farm in West Jordan.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is where Tryphena's mother, Abigail
lived, who was married to Archibald.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>George and Tryphena settled in Spanish
Fork.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They had three boys and one
girl.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>George was a successful farmer but he
also learned the trade of brick mason from his father, and helped build the
Spanish Fork City Hall, Co-op store, and many homes and schoolhouses.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>George and his brothers formed a lumber and
plaining mill company, and furnished much material for the homes at that time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One day George was using one of the sharp
circular saws and cut the end off of two fingers.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Everything went well until April 15,
1873.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Tryphena was the Relief Society
President at this time and had been getting ready for a meeting at her house.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She became suddenly ill, and in a few hours
died, probably from a brain hemorrhage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>She left four children: George (seven), Julia Ann (five), Hial B,
(three), and Stephen (nine months).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Aunt Jane Bradford cared for the baby for some time as she had a nursing
baby of her own.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>In May of 1873 George married Mariah
Gay Mendenhall, a widow with three children.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>To this issue were born six children.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They were Gillet, William, Louisa Tryphena, Alice, Laurence, and David.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>George was a counselor to Bishop
George D. Snell for twenty-two years until the four Wards of Spanish Fork were
divided.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was a High Priest, and
devoted much of his time to the Church all his life.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>George was the Justice of the Peace for
sixteen years, and was a Black Hawk Indian War Veteran, serving in Sanpete and
the Home Guard. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>In 1885 George married Mary Ann
Mellor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They had one son, John
Gillette.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Later, she divorced him and
went to Arizona to live.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One winter the flu, which they called
lung fever, was quite bad.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Bob and Bill
Boyack, two of George's close friends became ill.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then George got it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Both the Boyacks died, and George's
daughters decided not to tell him because they thought it would make him worse.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But George told his wife, Mariah, that a
messenger had come to his bedside and told him he had a choice, of getting well
and going on a mission to England or to die.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He decided to go on the mission.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>In 1886, when he was 42 years old,
George was called on a mission to England, leaving his eldest son, George, Jr.,
to care for his family as best he could.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This was a great responsibility for a boy of twenty-one, but he did the
best he could.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the fall of 1889 he
returned home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The U.S. Marshals were
still raiding the country for polygamists but before George left England,
Apostle George Teasdale, President of the European Mission, told him to return
home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He promised him he would not have
to go the pen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This promise was
fulfilled, George was arrested, summoned into court, but was always dismissed.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>In the latter part of 1889 George
Gillet married a widow he had brought from England.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Her name was Fanny Glenn.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She had a daughter, Lilly, which he
adopted.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Fanny made her home at
Fountain Green, Sanpete County.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Their
first child, Robert, died while very young.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>When their second baby, May, was four months old Fanny died, leaving her
baby and Lilly, five years old, for Maria to raise.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Fanny died in October of 1892, and was
buried at Fountain Green.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>In about 1897 George felt his boys,
Steve and Lawrence, needed better opportunities to improve themselves so he
took a contract with the Burlington Railroad to put track in from Bridger,
Montana to Cowley in Big Horn County, Wyoming.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>George's son, Gillet, stayed and ran the farm while they were gone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At this time another epidemic of "La
Grippe" came to Spanish Fork.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Gillet and two of his friends died.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>George was up in Wyoming at this time, blasting and all he could see in
his mind was a coffin, and then a lone man on horseback was riding toward
them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>George told the men around him
that it was bad news for him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When the
man arrived at camp it was a telegram telling him of the death of his son.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After a few years George came home,
leaving Steve there as his family was with him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While there, Lawrence got himself a wife
from Missouri by correspondence.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This
proved very successful.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Later, they all
returned to Spanish Fork, and their adventure was almost a failure.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>In 1903, George Gillet was made
superintendent of the State Infirmary at Provo.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While there, his son, Will, was ill in
Idaho, so he was called there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On his
return home he took a bad cold, which developed into pneumonia.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His lungs were weak as he had had pneumonia
twice before, so he only lasted a few days.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>He died on January 31, 1907.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His son, George, was away in Nevada at the
time, so the body was held till he returned.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He was buried on February 7, 1907.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was a loving husband to four women
and the father of 16 children.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He had
the largest library of any man in Spanish Fork at the time of his death.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He loved the Lord and lived the Gospel
with exactness.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was a great
Latter-day Saint.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;"> Susannah Lees was born in Ashton Under

connected with the cotton industry.
Susannah was a cotton weaver and her father was a cotton spinner and her
brothers, James and Joseph were cotton piecers.

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;"> P. Blinkton Baptized Susannah a Member
of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on July 18, 1848. She was confirmed on July 22 by John
Albiston.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;"> As a young woman, Susannah had a
beautiful high soprano voice, and while in <st1:country-region w:st="on">England</st1:country-region>
she sang in the church choir and after reaching <st1:state w:st="on">Utah</st1:state>,
her voice could always be heard with the singers of <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Zion</st1:place></st1:city> singing hymns. Especially at Christmas time she lifted her
voice with others who went about the town singing Christmas carols. Once in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">England</st1:place></st1:country-region>, as she was singing at a <st1:street w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">Mormon street</st1:address></st1:street>
meeting, Brother John Taylor laid his hand upon her shoulder and said, “Sister
Susannah, the voices of your off-spring shall be heard in all corners of the
earth.” That promise has almost been fulfilled
through her sons and grandsons preaching the gospel. All have been and are good singers, and most
of them have a tenor voice. Many of her
grandchildren, both girls and boys, have been endowed with this talent.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

to John Blackham in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">England</st1:place></st1:country-region>.

<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;"> John and Susannah decided to emigrate
to <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Zion</st1:place></st1:city> and
they were registered to leave on the ship "Elvira Owens" in 1853 with
John's brother, James and Susannah's parents and two younger brothers, George
(13) and Josiah (11). But for some
reason John and Susannah had to wait two years and came on the ship
"Samuel Curling" that departed from <st1:place w:st="on">Liverpool</st1:place>
the 22nd of April 1855. Susannah's two
brother's Joseph,(26) and John,(22) and John's wife, Martha Needham were also
on the ship with them. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;"> They were very poor and came with the
help of the Perpetual Emigration Fund.
The P.E.F. as it was known, was set up by the Church to fund the
emigration of the poor. Everyone was
expected to pay back the money they had borrowed so others could also come to <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Zion</st1:place></st1:city>. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;"> In a meeting at <st1:place w:st="on">Liverpool</st1:place>
before they left, Brother D. Spencer and Franklin D. Richards both prophesied
that if the Saints would do right on board the S. Curling they would have a
good voyage and not a soul would die, but if we would not do right it would
prove the unhappy reverse to them. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;"> There were 581 members of the Church on
board, with Elder Israel Barlow (the half-brother of Julia Ann Lockwood) a
returning missionary was their leader.
The Saints were divided into seven Wards. During the voyage there were several storms,
with one that was quite severe. Elder
Barlow afterwards told some of the Saints that while the storm was raging he
saw the ship surrounded by scores of angels, who stood in a circle around it
with joined hands. This was a testimony
to the Saints that the Lord was watching over the ship, and that there was no
danger. There were no deaths on this
journey.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;"> They arrived in <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">New York</st1:place></st1:state> May 22, 1855. The emigrants continued by rail to <st1:city w:st="on">Pittsburgh</st1:city>, then by steamboat on the Missouri River to <st1:city w:st="on">Atchison</st1:city>, <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Kansas</st1:place></st1:state>. They were outfitted at <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Mormon Grove</st1:city>, <st1:state w:st="on">Kansas</st1:state></st1:place>
on 4 August 1855. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;"> John and Susannah joined the 8th and
last wagon train company of the year 1855, with Captain Milo Andrus. There were 461 people with this company, and
this was a Perpetual Emigration Fund Train. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;"> As they traveled westward from Mormon
Grove, the sound of the bugler aroused the Saints at six o'clock. Families would then attend prayers, prepare
breakfast and make everything ready to start the day's journey by eight
o'clock. En route, each teamster walked
by the side of his wagon. All
able-bodied immigrants walked most of the way, and according to Captain Andrus
they "rejoiced to be on their way to <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Zion</st1:place></st1:city>." <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;"> Susannah and her two daughters made
their beds at night on a rather small box, and they kept it all through the
journey.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;"> One day as they were wending their way
over the pioneer trail, Susannah noticed that her older brother Joseph was
missing. She hurried to Captain Andrus
and reported the loss of the man. He
rode back over the trail for four miles, and finally found him under a
tree. He had dropped by the way, too ill
to go on. Captain Andrews placed him on
his horse and took him back to camp. But
he was not strong enough to stand the hard rigors of the pioneer trail, and
passed away before reaching the valley. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;"> They were late in the season and while
crossing the <st1:place w:st="on">South Pass</st1:place> ran into some snow for
several days and lost some cattle. Many
men women and children were almost barefoot and very destitute of
clothing. Thankfully it warmed up in a
few days and they did not have any more snow.
By the time Milo's company reached <st1:place w:st="on">Green river</st1:place>
they were so depleted of animals that they were unable "to
roll." From there, the Captain dispatched
two men to <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placetype w:st="on">Fort</st1:placetype> <st1:placename w:st="on">Bridger</st1:placename></st1:place> in quest of animals to help them
in their travels.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;"> Word reached President Brigham Young of
the destitute condition of Captain Andrus' train and supplies and oxen were
sent to help. Despite their problems the
company arrived in good health on 24 October 1855. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;"> As a pioneer woman, she was very
thrifty, and did her share of the work.
The wool from the few sheep they owned, she washed, carded and
spun. She then wove it into suits for her
five boys and dresses for her two girls.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;"> Her boys would go to the hills and
gather rabbit brush, sagebrush, and other things, which she used for making the
dyes to color the cloth. The material
was dyed a different color for each suit.
She always made them plenty large, as the homespun had such wonderful
wearing qualities. Her one son relates
that the suit, which was made for him at the age of five, he still wore when he
was twelve years old.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;"> At one time, shortly before there was
to be a May Day celebration, she decided that her boys must have some new
pants, so she had to get busy at once.
In the daytime she worked very hard to weave the Jeans, and made the
pants at night by firelight. May Day came
and the five boys had their new pants to step out in. She also made her husband a pair out of bed
ticking, and in her own opinion, “They looked very nice.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;"> Susannah was a professional hat
maker. The boys would gather the long
clean straws together and tie them into bundles. These were put away until early spring. Then she would weave them into hats for
summer, and make cloth caps for winter.
A pioneer friend by the name of Mrs. Hamilton, upon seeing one of these
straw hats, desired one very much for her husband, so she waited upon Susannah
at the birth of one of her children for one of them. One year she made and sold five straw hats at
one dollar apiece. With this money she
bought a pair of leather shoes for her husband.
This was his first pair of shoes since he came to <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Utah</st1:place></st1:state>.
For her family she had also made shoes of woolen cloth with soles of
rawhide. She also sold some of these
shoes about the little town. In her
spare time she made candles and soap, and other things, and when she went to <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">Salt</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">Lake</st1:placetype></st1:place>
to conference with her husband, she would take these things, along with the
hats, and would sell them there. It was
while in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">Salt</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">Lake</st1:placetype></st1:place> to conference, that her mother and
an old friend by the name of Mrs. Knot made and gave Susannah a new shaker
bonnet made from tea straw. She brought
this shaker bonnet to <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Moroni</st1:place></st1:city>,
thus being given the honor of introducing the new style to the women.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;"> Susannah went through many hardships,
along with her pioneer neighbors. Once
when her children were small, she was doing the family washing. They were in very destitute circumstances,
and she was so weak from hunger that she was unable to stand up to rub out the
clothes, but was forced to kneel down upon her knees to finish them. Sister Knot calling at her home, found her in
this weakened condition, and calling some of the other sisters to help her,
they went to the fields and gleaned a little wheat. This they ground up in a coffee mill, made
some cakes of the meal, and took her something to eat.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;"> While they suffered many hardships, yet
they also had many happy times together.
Later, when the children were married and had families of their own,
they would all congregate together at their mother’s home on Christmas
Eve. Each would bring something nice
toward the feast, and they would have a very enjoyable time together, visiting,
eating, and singing. Among the songs
they liked to sing were, “The Moon is up and in the Sky,” and “Christians
Awake, Salute this Happy Morn.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;"> Susannah and John had eleven children,
raising nine of them. Two died when they
were small infants. The children were
Elizabeth, Martha, William, John, Josiah, Samuel, Susannah, Alma, Betsey,
Benjamin, and Mary Ann.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;"> Susannah died at <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Moroni</st1:place></st1:city> on 16 August 1901, at the age of 71,
loved and honored by her large family and friends.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

COMPANY. -- Samuel Curling, 581 souls.
On the twenty-second of April, 1855, the ship, Samuel Curling, sailed
from Liverpool with five hundred and eighty-one Saints on board, of whom three
hundred and eighty-five were P. [Perpetual] E. [Emigration] Fund emigrants, all
under the presidency of Elder Israel Barlow, who had acted as pastor of the
Birmingham and Warwickshire Conferences.
William Willis, on his return from a mission to India, and other
prominent elders embarked on the Samuel Curling, which, after a safe and
pleasant passage, arrived in New York on Tuesday, the twenty-second of
May. During the voyage three children
were born, and as there were no deaths on board the net increase was that
number. Elder Peter Reid, who emigrated
to America as a passenger in the Samuel Curling, in 1855, and who now resides
in the Sixteenth Ward, Salt Lake City, told the writer some time ago that the
ship encountered several storms in her passage across the Atlantic, but that
she passed safely through them all. In
the midst of one of these storms the captain got somewhat disheartened, and
declared to Brother Barlow, the president of the company of emigrants, that he,
in his long experience as a seafaring man, had never encountered a worse one;
he then added that the tempest had not reached its highest point yet, but that
the next half hour would be worse still.
Brother Barlow, in reply, told the captain that the storm was nearly
over, and would not increase in violence.
This bold remark of Brother Barlow made the captain angry, as he thought
he knew more about the weather and the sea than anyone else on board; but on
going into his cabin to examine his barometer and other nautical instruments,
he found that Brother Barlow was right; the storm abated almost
immediately. Elder Barlow afterwards
told some of the Saints that while the storm was raging he saw the ship
surrounded by scores of angels, who stood in a circle around it with joined
hands. This was a testimony to the
Saints that the Lord was watching over the ship, and that there was no
danger. Most of the passengers left New
York en route for the Valley on the twenty-fourth, going by steamboat via Amboy
to Philadelphia, where the emigrants were placed on the railway train, and left
Philadelphia on Friday the 25th, about noon, arriving in Pittsburg on the
morning of the twenty-seventh, (Sunday.)
The same day the P. [Perpetual] E. [Emigration] Fund emigrants of the
Samuel Curling joined the like passengers who had crossed the Atlantic in the
Chimborazo, and on the steamship Amazon they continued the journey to St.
Louis, whence they proceeded to Atchison, Kansas. Some of the Samuel Curling passengers remained
in New York for the purpose of earning means to continue the journey to
Utah. (Millennial Star, Vol. XVII, pp.

<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> Brother John Taylor and Cyrus Wheelock
were among the missionaries that came to <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">England</st1:place></st1:country-region> and converted the Blackham
family. John Blackham was baptized by
T.J. Schofield on April 4, 1849, and confirmed by John Albiston April 29,
1949. His mother had joined in 1847, and
most of his brothers and sisters joined but there is no record of his father
ever being baptized.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> John married Susannah Lees April 20,
1851, John was 23 and Susannah was 20.
At this time neither one could read or write because they signed their
wedding certificate with an "X" mark.
Both families were living on <st1:street w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">George
Street</st1:address></st1:street> in Ashton Under Lyne when they married.
Plus both families were members of the Ashton Under Lyne Branch of the
Church. Susannah had been baptized
several years earlier in July of 1848. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> They made their home at <st1:street w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">47 Victoria Street</st1:address></st1:street>
in Ashton Under Lyne, <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Lancashire</st1:city>,
<st1:country-region w:st="on">England</st1:country-region></st1:place>, where
they had two girls. <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Elizabeth</st1:city></st1:place> was born March 5, 1852 and Martha
on the 8th of September 1853.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> John and Susannah decided to emigrate
to <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Zion</st1:city></st1:place> and were
registered to leave on the ship "Elvira Owens" in 1853 with John's
brother, James and Susannah's parents, John and Betty, and two younger
brothers, George (13) and Josiah (11).
But for some reason John and Susannah and children waited two years and
came on the ship "Samuel Curling" that departed from <st1:place w:st="on">Liverpool</st1:place> the 22nd of April 1855. Susannah's two brother's Joseph (26), and
John (22), and John's wife, Martha Needham, were also on the ship with them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> They were very poor and came with the
help of the Perpetual Emigration Fund.
The P.E.F., as it was known, was set up by the Church to fund the
emigration of the poor. Everyone was
expected to pay back the money they had borrowed so others could also come to <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Zion</st1:city></st1:place>. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> In a meeting at <st1:place w:st="on">Liverpool</st1:place>
before they left, Brother D. Spencer and Franklin D. Richards both prophesied
that if the Saints would do right on board the “S. Curling” they would have a
good voyage and not a soul would die, but if we would not do right it would
prove the unhappy reverse to them. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> There were 581 members of the Church on
board, with Elder Israel Barlow (the half-brother of Julia Ann Lockwood) a
returning missionary was their leader.
The Saints were divided into seven Wards. During the voyage there were several storms,
with one that was quite severe. Elder
Barlow afterwards told some of the Saints that while the storm was raging he
saw the ship surrounded by scores of angels, who stood in a circle around it
with joined hands. This was a testimony
to the Saints that the Lord was watching over the ship, and that there was no
danger. There were no deaths on this
journey.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> They arrived in <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">New York</st1:place></st1:state> on May 22, 1855. The emigrants continued by rail to <st1:city w:st="on">Pittsburgh</st1:city>, then by steamboat on the Missouri River to <st1:city w:st="on">Atchison</st1:city>, <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Kansas</st1:place></st1:state>. They were outfitted at <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Mormon Grove</st1:city>, <st1:state w:st="on">Kansas</st1:state></st1:place>
on 4 August 1855. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> John and Susannah joined the 8th and
last wagon train company of the year 1855, with Captain Milo Andrus. There were 461 people with this company, and
this was a Perpetual Emigration Fund Train. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">
As they traveled westward from Mormon Grove, the sound of the bugler
aroused the Saints at six o'clock.
Families would then attend prayers, prepare breakfast and make everything
ready to start the day's journey by eight o'clock. En route, each teamster walked by the side of
his wagon. All able-bodied immigrants
walked most of the way, and according to Captain Andrus they "rejoiced to
be on their way to <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Zion</st1:city></st1:place>."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> They were late in the season and while
crossing the <st1:place w:st="on">South Pass</st1:place> ran into some snow for
several days and lost some cattle. Many
men, women and children were almost barefoot and very destitute of
clothing. Thankfully it warmed up in a
few days and they did not have any more snow.
By the time Milo's company reached <st1:place w:st="on">Green River</st1:place>,
they were so depleted of animals that they were unable "to
roll." From there, the Captain
dispatched two men to <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placetype w:st="on">Fort</st1:placetype>
<st1:placename w:st="on">Bridger</st1:placename></st1:place> in quest of
animals to help them in their travels.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> Word reached President Brigham Young of
the destitute condition of Captain Andrus' train and supplies and oxen were
sent to help. Despite their problems the
companuy arrived in the valley on 24 October 1855.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> John and Susannah settled in <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Salt Lake City</st1:place></st1:city> on what is
known as 5th <st1:street w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">West Street</st1:address></st1:street>. While living in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">Salt</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">Lake</st1:placetype></st1:place>
they had their first son and third child, William, born October 31, 1856.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> At the October Conference of 1856,
President Brigham Young asked for volunteers to go and relieve the ill-fated
Martin Handcart Company. John Blackham
was the first man to respond, because he knew that in the company were his
mother, sister Sarah, and brothers Samuel and Thomas. President Brigham Young then dismissed the
conference, and promised protection to them by the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">U. S.</st1:place></st1:country-region> government. At this time, John Blackham as working for
Heber C. Kimball. He happened to meet
him, as he was on his way with what provisions he had gathered. He said, “Brother John, where are you going?” He answered that he was going to relieve the
handcart company. “Well then, come with
me.” They went to the tithing office
where Brother Kimball supplied him with clothes, food, two oxen and a couple
more men. One was Cyrus Wheelock, an old
sea captain, who with President John Taylor had converted the Blackham's to the
Gospel in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">England</st1:country-region></st1:place>. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> The men placed their quilts, clothing,
corn and food in the old government wagon and started on their errand of
mercy. The snow was 18 inches deep. Brother Wheelock rode a horse. When they reached the summit of “Big Little
Mountain”, they saw smoke issuing from a distant grove of trees. At first sight they thought it was Indians,
but upon going nearer they saw it was the ill-fated Martin Handcart
Company. Brother Wheelock on his horse
reached there first and heard Thomas cry out, “Here comes our Jack.” Never had there been a more happy
reunion. Tears would flow from his eyes,
as he would relate the story. He said,
“Never have I received a more welcome greeting.
When this help came they had no food except four pounds of flour for each
person left in camp. They had cooked
rawhide to obtain some nourishment. At
one time they had buried 17 persons in a snow bank. The survivors were so thin they almost looked
like skeletons. Little Billy Wareworth
lost his father and mother. But John’s
mother, Martha, took him to her heart.
He rode with his little feet hanging over the side of the wagon and they
froze, causing his death after they reached <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Salt Lake City</st1:place></st1:city>. All rode in the wagons, as they were too weak
to walk. President Brigham Young along
with many others met them outside the city and tears of joy rolled down his
face when he saw they were rescued.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> John and his family settled in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">Salt</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">Lake</st1:placetype></st1:place>
and obtained work at Kaysworth, now Kaysville.
He walked to and from work each day and received for his wages one pound
of flour a day. Then he went to Fillmore
with Charlie Kemp, a millwright, who later married his sister Sarah. While working there on a millrace, he earned
a yoke of oxen and a cow. Later, when
John returned to <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">Salt</st1:placename>
<st1:placetype w:st="on">Lake</st1:placetype></st1:place>, he carried a

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> The seven Blackham families moved to
Nephi, but not long after that, they were called by Brigham Young to settle <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Moroni</st1:place></st1:city> under the
leadership of George Bradley and his family.
They built a dugout on the bottom of the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">Sanpitch</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">River</st1:placetype></st1:place>,

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> A son, John Blackham, Jr., was born to
John and Susannah on August 8, 1859. He
was the first child born in the new settlement of <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Moroni</st1:place></st1:city>.
They had seven more children in <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Moroni</st1:place></st1:city>:

<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> The land was divided up into five-acre
lots and he kept that land until his death.
In his later years, he planted potatoes in part of it; then gathered his
grandchildren to help him harvest them.
It was a happy day for the children.
His grandchildren can well remember his voice calling to them, “Shift
up, shift up,” when they became slack in their work. Almost every day he would call, in his buggy
and old gray horse, and take them riding often through the fields and in the
hills to gather wild flowers. He was a
great lover of children. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Co-op Store and Land Company, and also Chairman of the Committee of the town
cowherd, and hay meadow committee. His
duty was to see that all the hay was watered.
He was a member of the High Priests Quorum and served with Brother Lars
Swenson for many years as head Ward Teacher of the Moroni Ward. For 18 years he held the position of Sunday
School Superintendent, also teaching the Primary Class. It is told he had wonderful discipline and it
became very quiet the moment he came in to the classroom. He will always be remembered for his singing
in the Sunday School. He made one trip
to St. George with provisions for the temple workers. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

would be tarred and feathered. They left
the next day for another small town.
While they were walking along the street a little girl come running and
asked them if they were Mormon Missionaries.
When she was told that they were, she said, “Mother wants to see

<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">"EIGHTY-SEVENTH
COMPANY. -- Samuel Curling, 581 souls.
On the twenty-second of April, 1855, the ship, Samuel Curling, sailed
from Liverpool with five hundred and eighty-one Saints on board, of whom three
hundred and eighty-five were P. [Perpetual] E. [Emigration] Fund emigrants, all
under the presidency of Elder Israel Barlow, who had acted as pastor of the <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Birmingham</st1:place></st1:city> and
Warwickshire Conferences. William
Willis, on his return from a mission to <st1:country-region w:st="on">India</st1:country-region>,
and other prominent elders embarked on the Samuel Curling, which, after a safe
and pleasant passage, arrived in <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">New
York</st1:place></st1:state> on Tuesday, the twenty-second of May. During the voyage three children were born,
and as there were no deaths on board the net increase was that number. Elder Peter Reid, who emigrated to <st1:country-region w:st="on">America</st1:country-region> as a passenger in the Samuel Curling, in
1855, and who now resides in the Sixteenth Ward, <st1:city w:st="on">Salt Lake
City</st1:city>, told the writer some time ago that the ship encountered
several storms in her passage across the <st1:place w:st="on">Atlantic</st1:place>,
but that she passed safely through them all.
In the midst of one of these storms the captain got somewhat
disheartened, and declared to Brother Barlow, the president of the company of
emigrants, that he, in his long experience as a seafaring man, had never encountered
a worse one; he then added that the tempest had not reached its highest point
yet, but that the next half hour would be worse still. Brother Barlow, in reply, told the captain
that the storm was nearly over, and would not increase in violence. This bold remark of Brother Barlow made the
captain angry, as he thought he knew more about the weather and the sea than
anyone else on board; but on going into his cabin to examine his barometer and
other nautical instruments, he found that Brother Barlow was right; the storm
abated almost immediately. Elder Barlow
afterwards told some of the Saints that while the storm was raging he saw the
ship surrounded by scores of angels, who stood in a circle around it with joined
hands. This was a testimony to the
Saints that the Lord was watching over the ship, and that there was no
danger. Most of the passengers left <st1:state w:st="on">New York</st1:state> en route for the Valley on the twenty-fourth,
going by steamboat via Amboy to <st1:city w:st="on">Philadelphia</st1:city>,
where the emigrants were placed on the railway train, and left <st1:city w:st="on">Philadelphia</st1:city>
on Friday the 25th, about noon, arriving in <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Pittsburgh</st1:place></st1:city> on the morning of the
twenty-seventh, (Sunday.) The same day
the P. [Perpetual] E. [Emigration] Fund emigrants of the Samuel Curling joined
the like passengers who had crossed the Atlantic in the Chimborazo, and on the
steamship Amazon they continued the journey to <st1:city w:st="on">St. Louis</st1:city>,
whence they proceeded to <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Atchison</st1:city>,
<st1:state w:st="on">Kansas</st1:state></st1:place>. Some of the Samuel Curling passengers
remained in <st1:state w:st="on">New York</st1:state> for the purpose of
earning means to continue the journey to <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Utah</st1:place></st1:state>. (Millennial Star, Vol. XVII, pp. 280, 397,

<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> . . . Tuesday, 17th. Went to the office at 36 Islington and got my
emigration ticket paying the balance for the same for Sister Smith and
ourselves to <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:state w:st="on">New York</st1:state></st1:place>
by the Samuel Curling which amounted to, at the rate of B. 17.6, in total 11.12.6
the child was not chargeable.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> Wednesday, 18th. This evening we went to the Adelphis Theater
and saw three good plays.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> Thursday, 19th. We got our luggage aboard the ship and slept
on her for the first night. I got a
berth about midship, very good for air and light but much confused and thronged
on account of the staircase being so near it.
Between Sister Smith and ourselves we had 9 Cwt, 11 pounds of luggage. I
made her a present of the 6/4 ½ I paid for her railway fare from Sheffield to <st1:place w:st="on">Liverpool</st1:place>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> Friday 20th of April 1855. We left the dock about 12 noon and went up
the river Mersey to "Rock Ferry" to lie until the vessel was laden
which was done by means of small boats coming alongside of her. I did not see a tear [p.153] shed by anyone
on board, all seemed very cheerful. I
should have recorded under date of yesterday that all pastors and presidents
going out with the Samuel Curling met with F. [Franklin] D. Richards at 15
Wilton St. where we had some instructions given unto us by Brother D. Spencer
and F. [Franklin] D. Richards and both prophesied that if we would do right on
board we would have a good voyage and not a soul of us would die, but if we
would not do right it would prove the unhappy reverse to us. Elder [Isreal] Barlow, late president of the
Birmingham and Warwickshire Conferences, was appointed the president of the
ship and Elder [Joseph] Perry late president of the Wiltshire Conference and
Elder Robinson, late president of the London Conference were appointed to act
as counselors in fact we were all appointed to act as his counselors. After partaking of some refreshment with
Elder Richards we separated about 11 p.m. and I went and slept on the
ship. The Samuel Curling is the finest
ship that has sailed from <st1:place w:st="on">Liverpool</st1:place> with Saints.
[p.154] There are [-] souls aboard about
500 of whom are bound for G. S. [Great Salt] <st1:place w:st="on">Lake</st1:place><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> Saturday 21st. We lay all day in the river. We passed the doctor on board about 2
p.m. One family had to go back on
account of their child having the measles or smallpox. The surveyor surveyed the ship and pronounced
it in good order. F. [<st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Franklin</st1:city></st1:place>] D. Richards, D. Spencer and others
of the pastors and presidents were on board the ship when she was surveyed
&c., and left in the steamboat with
the doctor &c. At a council meeting
of the pastors and presidents of conferences on board the ship in the evening I
was appointed to take the presidency of the 5th Ward. There being seven of them in number.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> Sunday 22nd. The ship left the river today with a fair wind
at a few minutes past ten a.m. The
weather was very fine and has been ever since Monday last. A meeting was held in each ward at 8 p.m. or
near to that time. I chose 2 counselors
[p.155] to act with me in my ward. They
were James Jardine & George Burridge.
The president of wards met with President Barlow in the capacity of a
council meeting, and counseled with each other on matters. We sailed near to Holyhead by the evening.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> Monday 23rd. This morning we were nearly at a stand still
the weather was so fair and calm. We did
not sail more than about 14 miles last night.
I got up by half past 5 a.m. and got my ward watered and breakfasted,
then had prayer therein by 10 o'clock a.m. The strictest discipline is kept up
relative to going to bed at night and rising in the morning. Up by half past 5 a.m. and to bed by 9 p.m.
prayers being over by 9 p.m. It is the
business of the presidents of wards to see that all in his ward are in bed by
that time. None to go up on deck after
that except by the special permission of the president of the ward the one may
be in. [p.156] There is a guard at each hatchway relieved every 4 hours, and
there are 2 men appointed in each ward to wash and scrape the berths. The ward’s cook in turns under the
supervision of their respective presidents.
A good feeling prevails. All goes
first-rate along. We prayed for a little
wind this morning. In the forepart of
the day the wind blew a gentle breeze and we got along first rate. We held a council meeting in the stern part of
the ship in evening when several little matters were attended to. After meeting our ward meetings were attended
to. There was a little seasickness on
board.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> Tuesday 24th. We made good progress
last night. I attended to my ward.
We held a general meeting of all the Saints on deck at 11 o'clock a.m.,
when the authorities on the ship were [p.157] presented and unanimously
sustained and several little duties were explained and matters to be observed
were pointed out to the Saints. Elder
[William] Willes [Willis] was appointed to gather the children together once a
day and teach them that which will be for their good. The captain scorns our system but loves some
of our doctrines, at least he says so.
The wind fell today & in the evening it was contrary. The captain jeeringly wanted us to pray and
have the wind changed, then, he would believe in Mormonism.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> We held a council meeting at 6
p.m. We were told while sitting that
some sister was in the cabin with the captain and the cabin door shut. Elder Barlow went slyly to see into the
case. Sickness was getting pretty
prevalent. [ON THE SIDE OF THE PAGE IS
WRITTEN: "I called Elders Robert Micklejohn [Meiklejohn] and David Moffett
as teachers in the No. 5 Ward."]<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> Wednesday 25th. The wind is still rather contrary. A good deal of seasickness prevails. Very few
but what were somewhat affected. [p.158]
My wife was a little sick, so was the child. I was rather squeamish. We are still in the Irish Channel. We had a council meeting at 11 a.m. I attended to my ward duties commencing at 5
a.m. I felt very heavy at my stomach
when going to bed tonight.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> Thursday 26th. I was rather sick this morning and vomited a
little water. I did not attend my ward
meeting this morning neither did I attend the council meeting which was held
about mid-day, but my counselors did. It
was decided that no washing nor drying of clothes be done between decks. David Moffett was appointed marshal of the
ship. Sailors out of a vessel which bore
down upon us about 6 a.m. came aboard our vessel for news. The vessel had not been home for 4
years. She was coming at this time from
the Sandwich Isles for <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Germany</st1:place></st1:country-region>. She was a German vessel. She took 6 months or nearly so to come from
the Sandwich Isles to where she met us. [p.159]
The sailors got several newspapers and Stars [Millennial Star]. Some from the captain and some from the
passengers. We sailed due west today,
but the ship made but little progress as the wind was but gentle. The ship rocked very much and much sickness prevails
still. We got clear of the Channel last
night. My wife had to part with her breakfast this morning on account of
sickness, but it was happy but temporary, and she served the company of us well
all day. The child was well. I saw the captain order some straggling
passengers on the deck while prayers were going on in the ward below to
"go down to prayers."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> Friday 27th. We were in a calm all day. The captain says we are only one day’s good
sailing from Liverpool and it is always so with him when he has a lot of
praying persons and other hab-gabblings from <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Jerusalem</st1:place></st1:city> on board. "It is the case" said he, "as
sure as Christ is in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Israel</st1:place></st1:country-region>." We had our second ration of provisions given
out today, which occupied the chief part of the day. [p.160] Sickness does not prevail so much today. The children are playing as merrily on the deck at their
little games. The young men and women at
their pastime and promenading, the sailors at their fun and frolic as though we
were assembled as a picnic party on some large park or green. A brother who can play the saxehorn is
appointed to give the following signals for the following purposes:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> 1st:
Three notes for general silence.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> 2nd:
"Weep not for me <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Zion</st1:place></st1:city>,"
for general prayer in wards.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> 3rd:
"God Save the Queen," for lights to be put out at night.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> 4th:
"Soldier's tear," for those engaged at night, such as the
guards, to take to their posts and for all passengers are to get to bed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> 5th:
"<st1:place w:st="on">Rosa</st1:place> May," to prepare to get
water in the morning.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">There are 12 men
appointed to be on the deck to spy out what is going on between the passengers
and the crew and to report anything that they may see wrong. Our child, we observed today had got another
two teeth in the upper jaw making six he has all together. We are all well. [p.161]<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> Saturday 28th. We are still in a calm this morning and of
course, making little or no progress. I
had a testimony meeting in my ward this morning at ten o'clock. The brethren were
spirited in bearing their testimonies and a happy feeling prevailed. All seem quite satisfied with their
conditions &c. There was a little
confusion in the cooking of breakfast this morning but when my ward was going
on with it, I got order restored. There
are in my ward 45 berths, 19 men, 35 women, 24 boys, and 31 girls, all
together, 109 souls. There are on board
as passengers 578 souls about 500 of whom are going direct to the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placetype w:st="on">Valley</st1:placetype> of <st1:placename w:st="on">Great Salt Lake</st1:placename></st1:place>. All in my ward are Scotch, and those I used
to labor amongst in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Scotland</st1:place></st1:country-region>,
save two or three families.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> Sunday 29th. This morning I held my ward meeting at 9
a.m. There was a public or general
meeting held on deck. And agreeable to
appointment we fasted until our first meeting was over which was between
[p.162] 12 and 1 p.m. Elders Barlow,
Robinson, his counselor, and Willes [Willis], the secretary addressed the
meeting. The day was fine and calm, but
in the evening the air freshened up and away we went at a good rate. I had a meeting of my ward at 7 p.m. and
administered the sacrament. There was a
good spirit in our meeting. Several of
the brethren spoke in the meeting. All
is union & concord! There is very
little sickness on board.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> Monday 30th. The breeze is still up and we are going at
the rate of I should say 9 knots an hour. My wife is unwell today; very much
pained inwardly. The nankeen for the
tent and wagon covers was given out today and those who could of the company
gave in their names as makers of them. I
paid for my 70 yards of nankeen £7.19.7. of which Sister [Ann] Brewerton pays the one half. The weather is fine. I preached in my ward this morning at ten
o'clock. Had prayers in the evening.
[p.163] The ship ran at the rate of 14 ½
miles per hour in the morning and in the course of the day at the rate of 12
per hour. I met with my ward in the
morning. All the beds were brought up on
deck to be aired after breakfast. The
weather was fair. All, with but very few
exceptions, are in good health & spirits.
My wife is well today. We lack
not for music on board we have both violins, saxehorns, cornopians &
accordions, playing merrily. We indulged
in but very little dancing, however. The
captain and crew are not so well pleased with us for preventing our sisters
from associating with them. The sailors
say they shall have some of them at <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">New
York</st1:place></st1:state>. Perhaps so.
It is hard work to get some of the sisters to keep away from the captain
and crew. There is a little sister in my
ward whose name is A. H. who is perverse in this way. In the evening the first tent cover made
[p.164] under the superintending of Elder G. [George] Bramwell was put up on deck, and the
president of the ship, Elder Barlow, and his two counselors walked in
procession through it followed by the 7 presidents of wards each with his two
counselors, linked arm in arm. Then
came the secretary of the ship with 2 of the sisters who assisted in making the
tent cover. Then followed in the rear
the tailors with others of the sisters who assisted in making the tent. While walking in procession we sang
"Praise to The Man" &c. The
sailors commenced making some fun at the time at which many of them gave way to
vanity, which was instantly and severely reproved by President Barlow. The tent was christened by President Barlow
"one of the tents of <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Israel</st1:place></st1:country-region>
built on the Samuel Curling" to which the Saints responded by a long and
hearty 'Amen'. I met with my ward.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> Wednesday 2nd. Last night we sailed at the rate of [p.165]
between 14 and 15 knots an hour, this morning about ten knots an hour. My wife fainted away after getting out of bed
this morning and continued to be very ill until after midday. It seemed to be spasms and severe gripping in
the bowels. I had a testimony meeting in
my ward at half past 1 p.m. Elder Barlow
came among us and gave us some good instructions. The tentmakers are as busy as bees, and as
merry as crickets. It is delightsome to
see and hear them: the love of God and
each other, and the sweet melody of heaven swells each saintly bosom. We had a few showers of rain today. We are now (in the afternoon) in what in
nautical parlance, is termed a "lull" in consequence of which the
ship lurches and has caused some of the
too incautious to tumble downstairs &c. getting sprained feet and other
mishaps. Our captain has been practicing
fortune telling today. He is a droll
Duke (our captain). [p.166] I met with
my ward in the evening. I sang to my
ward "O heard ye what news from the valley has come," with which I
was well helped in the chorus. During
our meeting the ship rocked very much and the boxes and tins rattled about
alarmingly. I order my ward to make fast
all their boxes, tins &c. Some in
other wards did not take this precaution and they had to get up on the night to
do so and dry up the slops and such like
that had been spilt on the deck out of their vessels. "A life on the ocean wave a home on the
rolling deep." &c.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> Thursday 3rd. This morning the weather was calmed very
much, but the vessel rocked considerably.
Many lost their breakfast, some as they were carrying it from the galley
to their berths and some when it was set before them on what they had for a
table. John Memmott’s breakfast was a
total wreck. [p.167] One man let his
oatmeal porridge fall down the stairs.
It was a mercy he did not follow their example. We were instructed to pray for the wind to
became more propitious. We did so, God
heard, and the wind blew pleasingly. We
commenced to make our tent cover today.
I am well, my wife is pretty well
and the child is first rate. I wish to
have it recorded (and lest no one should do it I shall take this opportunity of
doing so myself) that I can eat with pleasure the double more than what I could
do with great pressing &c on land.
It is the same with others on board.
I wrote out a scale of rations for my ward to be distributed tomorrow,
and on the following week. I met with my
ward this morning. There is but little
sickness or any other disease among us at present. I attended my ward meeting
at ½ past 8. [p.168]<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> Friday 4th. I grew sickly this morning. My wife was taken ill, and fainted in bed,
but was soon restored. I got little rest
all night, and I had a little breakfast in bed then lay down a bit. Then it was I grew sick. I got up and vomited repeatedly, I lay down
on deck for awhile, and my sickness left me.
I attended to the giving of the rations to my ward, and soon after grew
sick again. I went to bed. My wife was poorly today. The sea was very heavy and rough. We ran 17 knots per hour.
At 6 p.m. J. [John] Memmott’s hat
was blown over board and went back to <st1:place w:st="on">Sheffield</st1:place>
for ought I known. Between 11 & 12
p.m. it was very rough and our marshal called up a few of the healthy of the
brethren to assist in furling the "topsail." The captain said he could have done perfectly
well without them and he was seen calling down the ventilation "all
passengers on deck" in order to put us in a game but although he was
[p.169] captain he was not the "good shepherd" hence the sheep heard
not his voice. About 12 p.m. the ship it
is thought ran at the rate of 20 knots an hour.
The boxes and tins rattled well.
Many were sick tonight.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> Saturday 5th. I am still sick, sick, sick, and not able to
take anything. My wife happily is able
to be up today. It was very rough today. The galley was set on fire today by a Brother
who was boiling a piece of pork and the pot boiled over and the fat running on
the stove away flame went. The mate of
the vessel threw the pot and all its contents into the sea but he did not throw
the man over who owned the pot.
Curious! I am. sure it was
neither the pot nor pork that was the offense but this is none of my
business. I got up a little in the
afternoon. Many are sick today. [p.170]<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> Sunday 6th. A fast until after the morning meetings in
the wards was observed by some. The
sacrament was dispensed in the ward meetings at 7 p.m. There was no public or general meeting on
deck today as it was rough weather. I am
still very sick in bed. Brother Barlow
announced today in a council meeting of the presidents of wards and their
counselors that he had been in company with Joseph and Hyrum Smith and Willard
Richards and their instructions were for the presidents of the wards to be
fathers to the Saints and to attend to the health of the all on board. "Let us do right and all will be
well" is the voice of the Spirit unto us through the priesthood.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> Monday 7th. I took a little brandy and water in the
afternoon which had the effect of settling my stomach. I then got a little pea soup, and oh! they
were delicious to me and what is better.
They seemed to be just the thing my stomach wanted for there they sat
until properly dismissed. I get up in
[p.171] the afternoon and paced the deck awhile but oh! it was piercingly cold
but fair. Rather out of our course being
north northwest by north. After pacing
the deck awhile I felt as though I was a new man, I was so much better. I went to bed early. My wife and child are well.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> Tuesday 8th. I get up this morning about 6 a.m. I attended my ward meeting. I was startled at hearing Elder Perry
declaiming against giving heed to the sayings of the captain as he was trying
to put us in fear by his lies in saying we were in great danger. He rebuked evil spirits who were trying to
annoy and destroy the Saints. The wind
shifted into a more favorable quarter this forenoon blowing us southwest. I got some sago for breakfast, and it
sickened me. I vomited it. Went to bed.
Got some potato soup after which I felt better and [p.172] was able to
write a good bit in my diary. Susan Lant
fell downstairs and sprained her ankle and otherwise hurt herself. Her mother is still very sick, she has been
sick most of the time. I saw an iceberg
today to our left. One was seen
yesterday to our left. It is still very
cold but fair. There is, I am told, a
sailor in this vessel who is making his fourth attempt to get home to <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">New York</st1:place></st1:state>. The last three attempts were failures! He having been wrecked everytime; the last on
the Banks of Newfoundland, not far from here.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> Wednesday 9th. I got up free of sickness and kept so all day
for which I was very thankful. Very raw
and foggy in the after part of the day.
We recommenced our tent making. I
attended my ward meeting at ½ past 8 p.m.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> Thursday 10th. Last night on going to bed I was attacked by
[p.173] the sick headache. My old land curse
following me on sea as well, despite of sea sickness &c. which have been so
highly spoken of as a cure for
biliousness. In the morning I took a
dose of bilious powder which helped me.
It was raw and foggy all day. Our
course was west by north according to my pocket compass. Sickness is again on the decline. Elder Barlow has been very sick and poorly
for some days past, but is a little better today. The tentmaking is going ahead. All is well, only a few of our young sisters
who will be friends with our gallant captain and some of our brethren say he
(the captain) is not so bad a fellow after all, i.e. when he has just given
them such a glass of brandy. Some would,
I believe, call the Devil a complete gentleman for so small a compliment! as
even an invitation to drink with him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> Friday 11th. I got up at 6 a.m. and attended to [p.174] my
water distributing for ourselves and my ward.
I met with my ward in the morning.
A good feeling there. We were
becalmed from breakfast time till [--].
The captain caught some codfish and haddocks with the line. The fog cleared away a little about 11
a.m. It was agreed that no provisions be
distributed today as the weather was not favorable to have it done on
deck. In the afternoon the wind
freshened up and away we set northward.
I met with my ward in the evening.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> Saturday 12th. We tacked about 4 a.m. and went southward all
day, pushed on by a pretty stiff breeze; in consequence of which the vessel
pitched pretty much, causing a good deal of sickness on board and a good many
to fall down the hatchways and hurt and scald themselves with what [p.175] they
might be carrying from the galley at the time.
Sister Smith of our company fell down the hatchway as she was coming down
with a saucepan of gruel, and scalded herself on the one arm and bruised
herself on other parts of her body. The
provisions were distributed today between decks as it was too rough for the job
above. I met with my ward in the
morning, also in the evening.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> Sunday 13th. I met with my ward in the morning. A public meeting was convened at 11 a.m. on
the deck. Elder Barlow, Robinson,
Mayben, Bramwell and Willis addressed the meeting. Elder Willis's remarks were directed in an
indirect manner towards the captain and crew concerning making free with the
the sisters and against the [p.176] [SIC] sisters for their freedom with the
captain and crew which was but ill taken by Brothers Barlow, Robinson and
perhaps some others, they judging that his remarks were uncalled for. The captain broke up the meeting (being
piqued at Willis's remarks) by setting the sailors to shift the sails, and
their yee hoes soon drowned the voice of the speaker. I closed, with prayer, about ½ past 1. We held our fast today until this meeting was
dismissed. We met at 7 p.m. in our
respective wards and administered the sacrament. We had a very good meeting in our ward this
evening Elders Perry and Willis met with us.
The captain informed us that we were 910 miles from <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">New York</st1:place></st1:state> this morning, at 3 o'clock this
morning. We sailed with a fair wind all
day but it was not very strong.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> Monday 14th. About 2 a.m. I was awoke by [p.177] the noise
and rattling of tins as the ship was rocking very much. Some were bawling out about their beds being
wet by the contents of slop pails, and other vessels which came down from the
berths on the deck above them when they were upset. I had to get up in a hurry twice to fasten
mine , as they had broken away. We were flying at a good speed before a fair
wind at the time. We were about 700
miles from <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">New York</st1:place></st1:state>
this morning, according to the captain for he said he had just past a milestone
that told him so. We went at a good
speed today with a fair wind. The
tentmaking is going on briskly today above and below. The beds were brought up on deck to be aired,
the day being fine. I met with my ward
in the morning and in the evening. My
wife was very poorly this morning but got better during the day. [p.178]<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> Tuesday 15th. I was awakened this morning about 3 o'clock
when the thunder was rolling and the lightning flashed at a pretty smart
rate. The rain fell in great plenty; and
the sailors were pulling at the ropes and roaring in regular earnest. Now all this has an effect upon the waking
ear down below that is just enough to bear and at such a time it is clever work
to keep one's self from being pitched out of one’s berth upon the deck. Elder Bramwell came to my berth and whispered
that I with the other presidents of wards were to join in prayer privately for
the storm to cease. This was done, and
the storm did cease soon afterwards. I was afflicted of the sick headache and I
went up on deck and vomited then returned to bed. I was troubled with my stomach all day and
vomited several times. We run south all
day. My wife was sick in the morning [p.179] but got better in the
afternoon. It was discovered that a
child of 3 years of age was attacked with the smallpox in No. 6th Ward. The president of the ship convinced the
presidents of wards to take into consideration what was to be done in this
case. It was the belief of the
presidents that it was not the design of God that this malady should spread
amongst us and it was settled that the child and the other members of the
family should be removed to the hospital forthwith, which was done.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> Wednesday 16th. I was a little better today. It is a fine day. A steam packet passed us about 11 a.m. bound
for <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">New York</st1:place></st1:state>. We spoke with her. She will have reported our whereabouts in
three days from this time, in <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">New
York</st1:place></st1:state>. We are
running northwest today. I met with my
ward in the morning. Today there was a
great to do made about a Brother [Samuel] Sully who is an under <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Marshall</st1:place></st1:city> having seized a
boy by the collar and did so much in the way [p.180] of chastising him that the
boy was thrown into fits. Some said the
marshal struck the boy, but this the marshal denies. At any rate, the boy bled at the nose from
some internal injury and was otherwise very ill; and when he would see the <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Marshall</st1:place></st1:city> or even hear his
name mentioned, he would go into a fit, and exhibit great dread of him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> Thursday 17th. We run to the northwest all day at a good
rate. We had it foggy for a good part of
the day but it cleared off by the evening.
It was said that we were between 500 and 600 miles from <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">New York</st1:place></st1:state> and here we were
visited by some sparrows! It is quite
common for them for them [SIC] to do so, that is, to come as far out on
sea. The sun is setting this evening was
beautiful. It looked like a great body
of fire resting on the sea. I met with
my ward in the evening.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> Friday 18th. We are in the right course today. About 8 A.m. Sister Meiklejohn wife [p.181]
of Brother David Meiklejohn from <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Glasgow</st1:place></st1:city>,
and in the 5th Ward was confined of a fine daughter. Both are doing well at
present. The provisions are being given
out today. The boy that went into fits
on Wednesday is still subject unto them when the least excited. In the evening I was surprised to see two
fiddles playing and Elders Perry and Willis dancing with a few sisters on the
deck, and around them congregated a great number of the Saints and some
sailors, the latter joining in the dance.
A few fish were caught this evening.
I attended my ward meeting.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> Saturday 19th. We were becalmed this morning during which
time the captain and several of the brethren caught some codfish. The captain
cut up 5 of them that he had caught and gave them away in pieces to some of the
Saints. A Brother [Henry] Clucies sent
me a bit of one he had caught. We had a
council meeting this morning in the stern of the ship. [p.182] The dancing and dancers of last evening were
censured by the president at the meeting this morning. The president expressed that Elder Perry was
asking something of him very importunately and a voice from behind Brother
Barlow said "Let Elder Perry repent before he can have what he asks
for." Elders Perry and Willes
confessed to their having repented of their dancing: My wife was afflicted of the headache today. The breeze freshened up about 9 a.m. and
being fair all our sails was set and away we went very smoothly at the rate of
9 knots an hour. The weather is very
fine. The cooking is sadly behind today
and this causes a great bustle in the galley.
He earns his meal who cooks it today.
A collection was taken up in the wards to pay a man whom we had
appointed to attend the fires &c. In the galley, today is a man, or rather
a rascal at Liverpool, to lash [p.183] it properly in the ship, but he got his
cash from Brother Robinson before hand
and he contented himself with lashing only a few boxes and we want to have £2
or £3 on hand when we arrive at New York
to slip into the excise officer's hand so that we might get passing our luggage
without being detained at that port, in the way of having any luggage examined. I attend my ward meeting. Ten shillings was what I got out of No. 5
Ward for the above. There are some large
families some of whom have nothing in the shape of money. Others of them have such as 5 demies , 6 demies
and a 1 [-]. Poor enough!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> Sunday 20th. I attended to the cooking of some oatcakes in
the morning, then my ward meeting. Then
a council meeting. Nothing of any
consequence was done. The latter. The wind blew [p.184] at a good rate and we
dashed through the waves in bold and rapid manner. The weather would not admit of us having a
meeting on deck today. The wards met at
7 p.m. when the sacrament was administered.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> Monday 21st. Many get up early this morning to see the
land, as it was given out at day- break that such was to be seen but as the sun
got up the land went down. What a
disappointment! The morning was
beautiful, and many vessels were to be seen.
The wind was ahead of us in the morning.
In the afternoon a pilot came on board and agreed with the captain to
pilot us in to harbor for the regular pilot fare on the pilot ground although
he was many miles on this side of it. [p.185]
The pilot boats with their pilots run far out on sea in opposition to
each other in getting vessels. The evening
was beautiful and many of the Saints get up upon deck and sang some of their
Mormon songs in the true Mormon spirit.
I attended my ward meeting. I
examined some luggage that I had brought out of the railway luggage van at
Liverpool for Sister Smith's it being addressed "Mrs. Smith passenger to <st1:place w:st="on">Liverpool</st1:place>."
It consisted of a good leather portmanteau, a little square box and
another old worthless box, broken in the lid.
They cautioned principally clothes and toys and school books for a young
girl who as far as I could make out from letters in the same was at school at <st1:place w:st="on">Liverpool</st1:place>. The
name of her parents is seemingly, <st1:city w:st="on">Anderson</st1:city>, St.
James's Square, <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Hull</st1:city></st1:place>.
[p.186] I did not know but the luggage belonged to some of us in company until
we were near to <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">America</st1:place></st1:country-region>. Had I known at <st1:place w:st="on">Liverpool</st1:place>
I should have returned with it to the railway station. In a small "savings bank" in one of
the boxes were three pieces of silver coin; one a shilling of George the 3rd’s
reign, dated 1816, and has a quite new appearance. Another is a French coin, stamped with the
head of Napoleon, having on the head side "Napoleon Emperor," and on
the other side "Empire Francois. A. 1811." and round the edge
"Dieu Protage La <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">France</st1:place></st1:country-region>,"
it is a "2 Francs" piece. (The
other was a "2 Francs" piece, date "1833" with the
inscription "Louis Philippe I Rot Des Francois.")<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> Tuesday 22nd. 6 a.m. the land was sighted by a naked eye,
and oh! how beautiful it did appear to the emigrant’s eye. All were electrified by the cry of land. Lame, old, young, sick, and all ran [p.187]
up on deck to see it. It seemed like a
fairyland. We first gazed upon what is
called "Never Sink," then "Sandy Hook." then "<st1:placename w:st="on">Stratton</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">Island</st1:placetype>,"
to the left, then we feasted our eyes upon the beauty of "<st1:place w:st="on">Long Island</st1:place>." There we passed the doctor who is
stationed there for the inspecting of passengers relative to the state of their
health &c. The company all passed
without any exception, save the child that had the smallpox, and that the
captain contrived to put out of sight until the examination was over which did
not last longer than 15 or 20 minutes.
The doctor that came out with us the captain put out of sight so that he
might not have need to sin his soul by telling a lie as to no disease being on
board or from sinning still greater by telling the truth in the matter. Elder Willis acted the part of the doctor in
his stead. All passed off well. [p.188]
The steamer towed us into the harbor by the afternoon, and all the way up the
(Hudson) river we were annoyed by sharpers, alas thieves, who came out in small
boats, and "climbed up (another way)" on to our vessel, and would be
in but our guard kept them at bay and hunted out of the vessel any that chanced
to get in. The captain engaged the
steamer that towed us in for 75 dollars, which was only 100 dollars less than
what the captain of the tug offered to tow us in for. There was plenty opposition in this by
steamers. Yankee meets Yankee here. When
landing at New York we were regularly beset by thieves, but the guard and the
captain and crew kept them back and all the hatchway were guarded so that no
stranger could possibly get down to our goods.
Oh with what audacity and unconceived of impudence do the <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">New York</st1:place></st1:state> sharpers go
about their cursed business. They are
worse by far then their transatlantic brethren [p.189] at the Liverpool
Docks. They came in very
"questionable shapes." Some of
them are hung and hooped in chains and rings of gold. Mormonism can match them, however. The captain is eloquent in extolling our
conduct and propriety on board to the pilot, doctor, excise officers, and
reporters. He boasts that for goodness
and healthiness, there never was a better ship load of people brought into
port. He and the crew wish we had
further to go with them. Our company has
been so engaging, they express their regret to part from us. The captain gets
us to sing to strange officials when they come aboard. Oh! he is big about his passengers. He was told at <st1:place w:st="on">Liverpool</st1:place>
what a life he would be led by our misconduct on board, during the voyage. This, he states, he is prepared to speak
against. Our landing was reported in the
<st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">New York</st1:place></st1:state>
papers today and our voyage and general conduct and appearance were commented
upon. We were called cleanly and orderly
and our order was recommended to other emigrants &c. [p.190] [ABRUPT END OF

<br />
<br />
Hans Jacob Arnoldus was born 8 May 1810 in Bornholm, Denmark to Jockumsen
Arnoldus and Johanna Christensen. He first married Marie Larsen on the
24th of February 1830. They were later divorced. He later married
Hedevig Clausen on the 12 Feb 1857, they were later divorced. Hans joined the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on 24 June 1867.<br />
<br />
Inger Sophia Frederikka Sorensen was born 10 May 1842 in Copenhagen, Denmark to
Carl August Renaldo Sorensen and Frederikka Wilhelmine Bugge. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;"><br />
Inger was a convert to the Latter-day Saint Church and was baptized 10 April
1867.<br />
<br />
Later that summer in the far-off land of Copenhagen, Denmark, Hans Jacob
Arnoldus and Inger Sophia Fredrikka Sorensen joined hands in matrimony on the
1st of July 1867. In 1868, along with their six month old daughter,
Eliza Josephine, they sailed to America. They chose to make their home
in Moroni, Utah. In Moroni they had seven more children: Margaret
Christina, Hans Jacob, Sophia Johannah, Carl Issac, Anna Maria, Abraham, Andrew
Hansen. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;"><br />
<br />
When the children were young they learned all the chores and duties of farm
life. They worked in the fields with their father, putting in many long,
hard hours. The girls also learned the arts of cooking, milking cows,
and tending a garden. The children attended the Moroni schools and received
a fair education.<br />
<br />
They built one of the nicest brick homes in Moroni. Hans Jacob later
followed the Prophet’s revelation and married a second wife, Dorthea Majane
Daniels, also from Denmark, on 24 November 1874 in the Endowment House, in Salt
Lake City, Utah.<br />
<br />
Hans Jacob died the 7th of December 1889 in Moroni, Utah. Inger Sophia
lived for many more years. Inger Sophia moved to Cody, Wyoming to be
near her son Hans Jacob, who had a hide and fur business there. She died the
10th of March 1920 in Lovell, Big Horn County, Wyoming. She was buried
in Salt Lake City, Utah.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

1874-1922<br />
<br />
Many years ago in the far-off land of Copenhagen, Denmark, Hans Jacob
Arnoldus and Inger Sophia Fredricka Sorensen joined hands in matrimony on the
1st of July 1867. Both Hans Jacob and Inger Sophia were born in
Denmark. They had joined the church in the spring of 1867. In
1868, along with their six month old daughter, Eliza Josephine, they sailed
to America. They chose to make their home in Moroni, Utah. In Moroni
they had seven more children. Sophia Johannah was born 14 September 1874 in
Moroni, Utah.<br />
<br />
Some of the records list her as Sophia Johannah and others refer to her as
Johannah Sophia, it is not known which is correct. The Moroni cemetery
records list her as Sophia Johannah. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;"><br />
<br />
Sophia Johannah, as a young girl, learned all the chores and duties of farm
life. She with her siblings worked in the fields with their father,
putting in many long, hard hours. The girls also learned the arts of
cooking, milking cows, and tending a garden. The children attended the
Moroni schools and received a fair education.<br />
<br />
Sophia Johannah was a beautiful woman. As a young woman she earned the
title of “Miss Moroni”<br />
<br />
She married James Otis Bradley on the 5th of December 1895, and they settled
in Moroni. They were sealed in the Manti Temple on 3 April 1918. They
had seven children: James (who only lived a few months), William Otis, Mark,
Ora Sophia, Clifford Henry, Anna Elizabeth and Helen.<br />
<br />
They had a large farm and grew mostly sugar beets, but also grain and
alfalfa.<br />
<br />
Sophia did not have good health. She had heart problems and died from
a cerebral hemorrhage at the age of 47 on 27 March 1922. She left
James Otis with six children to raise on his own. The youngest, Helen, was
just two years old. The older sisters cared for the younger ones in their
nice, five room, brick home in Moroni. They lived kitty corner from
the chapel, the tithing office, the post office and the town marshal.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

1870-1943<br />
<br />
<br />
James Otis Bradley was a great-grandson of George Washington Bradley, an early
ancestral pioneer born in New York who came west with the Saints after he found
the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. Soon after his family’s arrival in the
Valley of the Great Salt Lake, Brigham Young “called” him to go and help settle
the Sanpete Valley, where he became the first bishop in Moroni and also served
as that city’s “president” for the next 18 years.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
<br />
With the Bradleys having established such a strong presence in the Sanpete
area—where more and more Bradleys lived and died over the next several
generations—it should not be surprising that James Otis’s parents, George Henry
and Elizabeth Angeline Love Bradley, were also living there 135 years ago when
he made his journey to earth from the spirit world, landing in Moroni on
Wednesday, 9 February 1870.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
<br />
So James Otis grew up in Moroni in Sanpete County, where he met and married his
sweetheart, Johannah Sophia Arnoldus. Her family had put down their roots in
the same place after having joined the Church and migrated westward to be with
the Saints in Zion.<br />
<br />
Today James Otis and Johannah Sophia Arnoldus Bradley have a large posterity of
faithful children, grandchildren, and so on. Many of those still living today
who knew him in life have fond memories of him.<br />
<br />
<br />
One of these was reported by Verdeen and Ronald Bradley. Ronald recalls that
when he was about three years old and Verdeen eight they often rode sitting on
the floor of a wagon pulled by two horses with their father, Clifford, and
grandfather, James Otis, sitting on the wagon seat. Ronald remembers how
excited he was about being able to go with them because he thought he would be
allowed to stay and help his father work on the farm—probably thinning beets.<br />
<br />
Ron, who still lives in Moroni today, remembers vividly that they traveled
south on Turkey Plant Road from Grandfather’s home and then went west to get to
the farm. But as soon as they arrived, Grandfather said he had better take them
home, so he left the wagon for Clifford and started up the road with the
children. This upset Ronald terribly because he had thought both he and Verdeen
would be able to stay at Grandfather’s for the night. Several blocks from the
farm as they traveled along the road they passed Russ Bailey’s farm, which had
an abundance of peas growing. Grandfather took them in and helped them get some
handfuls of peas and then continued home. It was several miles to his house.<br />
<br />
Arriving at Grandfather’s home, they were given thick slices of homemade bread
with molasses and sugar sprinkled on top. Ronald remembers it was very good.
Then Grandfather said they were to go straight home because their mother would
probably need them. So Verdeen took Ronald and walked nearly a mile further to
get to their own house.<br />
<br />
Verdeen recalls that Grandfather was called “Ottie” by his friends and that he
whistled and hummed a lot. Many remember him for that. In fact, he was known
for his whistling and singing, whether at home or in the business section of
town. One speaker at his funeral stated that “he was truly great because it is
only a great man who can whistle his troubles away.”<br />
<br />
His son Clifford carried on his tradition of whistling and people would know he
was coming before they saw him because they could hear him whistling.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
<br />
<br />
James Otis had a large farm on which he grew mostly sugar beets but also grain
and alfalfa. He had two horses named Rock and Rye, and they were the best
horses in all of Moroni, Ralph recalls. He also had a cow, some chickens, and a
pig or two. The chickens were not cooped up but were left to wander all over
the farm at will. But they laid their eggs in the barn and Ralph remembers
having collected them there. Then Grandfather let him trade one for an all-day
sucker. Grandfather’s farm also had a great garden with an abundance of turnips
and peas, which the children loved to eat raw.<br />
<br />
Grandma Bradley, James Otis’s wife, Johannah Sophia Arnoldus, passed away in
1922 when Ralph was scarcely two years old, leaving James with six children
(three boys and three girls) to raise on his own. After “Sophie” died, James’s
daughter Beth cared for him and the rest of the children in his nice,
five-room, brick home in Moroni, which was located kitty corner from the
chapel, the tithing office, the post office, and the town marshal. Ralph
remembers that Grandfather’s house had a large swing in the tree, which the
children loved to swing on. Mealtime at Grandfather’s always featured
meat, potatoes, and milk gravy. Sometimes they had liver and onions, which the
kids didn’t like.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
<br />
The house was surrounded by a nice, white, picket fence, through which they
watered their lawn with irrigation water by flooding the whole lawn whenever it
was their turn to take water. Inside the house they had an old Edison record player,
which operated by cranking it up before playing it. The sound came out through
a large horn that sat atop the apparatus.<br />
<br />
The grandchildren loved to climb up on Grandfather’s big mahogany bed and lie
on his thick and comfy straw tick. They’ll never forget the marble slab that
adorned the top of the chest of drawers.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
<br />
Ralph remembers that during the beet harvest Grandfather would take him for a
ride on his horse, complete with what it felt like to sit atop the horse
pushing in with his right or left knee to turn the horse in either direction.
Because he was so small, there wasn’t really much else he could do to help with
the work.<br />
<br />
<br />
Even the children remember how very happy Grandfather always was. He was
constantly whistling and when people heard him coming they would holler out,
“Here comes Oat!”<br />
<br />
In later years James Otis had a job in Fountain Green maintaining road
shoulders. His grandson Ralph used to ride with him on his maintenance runs and
thought it pretty neat to be able to work with Grandfather.<br />
<br />
Grandpa Bradley was always generous to his children and their families. It must
have been hard for him to see his daughter-in-law Nida struggle financially
when his son William Otis, who had all but deserted her and her children,
failed to send his monthly allowance of $20.00 for their support. He was
working and living in Oregon and did not appear to intend to come back to
Moroni to be with his family. It was that year, 1928, that Grandpa Bradley
loaned Nida $5.00 so she would not have to disappoint her children, Ralph and
Betsy, for Christmas.<br />
<br />
It was on a Sunday, 3 October 1943, that James Otis Bradley quietly passed away
at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Don Nielson, in Provo, Utah. Funeral services
were held in the West Ward chapel in Moroni. An unusually large number of
relatives and friends came to pay their respects to the man whom they held in
the highest esteem. He was interred in the Moroni City Cemetery, as was the
custom with the Bradley family who had come there 95 years earlier after being called
by Brigham Young to settle the Sanpete Valley</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2640136594485887022.post-48466266576528365212017-09-10T12:06:00.001-07:002017-09-10T12:06:22.246-07:00William Otis Bradley<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="MsoNormalTable" style="background: white; mso-cellspacing: 0in; mso-padding-alt: 0in 0in 0in 0in; mso-yfti-tbllook: 1184;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">William Otis Bradley<br />
1897-1986<br />
<br />
<br />
William Otis Bradley was born in Moroni, Utah, on 2 February 1897 to James
Otis and Johanna Sophia Arnoldus Bradley, the second son in a family of seven
children. Otis, as he was called, came from good pioneer stock, his
great-grandfather George Washington Bradley having served as the first Bishop
in Moroni and also as the town president for eighteen years.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;"><br />
<br />
Otis worked at a local firm known as the Moroni Co-op. It was there he met
and began to date Nida Hales, who, after only two years of high school had
also gone to work there to help her family’s financial situation. Nida had
dated many young men previous to that time, but in Otis she felt she had
finally found the one the Lord intended for her. By the fall of 1918 they
were dating steadily and planned to be married the next spring. But early
that same fall a serious flu epidemic broke out that plagued the entire
nation. It was so severe that all public gatherings such as school, church
meetings, picture shows, and dances were closed down. Otis and Nida had often
attended the Wednesday and Saturday night dances so were now forced to
cultivate their relationship in other ways while they waited for the flu
epidemic to subside—and for the ban on the temple to be lifted.<br />
<br />
The Manti Temple reopened the first week of March, and it was in that first
week after the closure, on 12 March 1919, that Nida and Otis went there to be
married. Their first home was in the front part of the James M. Christensen
home.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;"><br />
<br />
<br />
Unfortunately for Nida, her marriage got off to a much different start than
she had dreamed of since she was a girl. Despite Otis’s having qualified to
go to the temple, he was not truly converted to the gospel. His mother died
shortly after he was married, so the responsibility fell to his widowed
father and his sisters to give him spiritual support in his new patriarchal
calling. He floundered because of his lack of leadership sense and this
deficiency was immediately apparent to Nida when he did not “preside”
over her in his new home. Each night, for example, Nida prayed alone then had
to persuade Otis to pray with her—but she always had to be mouth.<br />
<br />
When Otis and Nida’s first child, a son, Ralph Otis Bradley, was born to them
on 24 Feb 1920, Nida’s first concern was how she could successfully teach him
to “return home” to Father in Heaven. His had been a rough delivery, which
led to her prolonged sickness, requiring that she receive continuous care
from her family. Ralph was a big baby and was hard to feed. Then Nida nearly
died giving birth on 5 May 1921 to her second child, a girl whom they named
Betsy, after Nida’s mother. Both children were born in Moroni.<br />
<br />
Otis left the Moroni Co-op and went to work for People’s Sugar Company, where
he boiled sugar all day. He liked that kind of work but it was seasonal,
which meant moving around from job to job in the off months. Otis and Nida
bought a building lot from his Aunt Eliza Bradley just one block west of the
Moroni Co-op, between her home and Otis’s father’s home. The moved from their
first house in the Christensen home into a two-room lumber house they had
purchased from Nida’s Uncle Alma Blackham and moved onto their new lot. They
dug a basement and a foundation with a floor and were happy when they moved
into their very own home.<br />
<br />
<br />
The following spring Otis was laid off at the sugar company, so he went to
Salt Lake and found a position as a meat cutter, a trade he had learned from
Lawrence Larson at the Moroni Co-op. Once settled, Nida also moved to Salt
Lake with the children. There they rented a furnished house at 245 Hampton
Avenue, across the street from Nellie Morley’s family, another of Nida’s
relatives. Late that summer the sugar factory in Moroni contacted Otis asking
him to return in the fall to Moroni to boil sugar for them again, so he
accepted the offer and they moved back home.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;"><br />
<br />
They were happy to be around family again in Moroni, but shortly after Thanksgiving
Otis was laid off once more, and they were out of work—again. Otis wasted no
time trying to find employment back in Salt Lake but nothing was available,
so he went to McGill, near Ely, Nevada, where he was able to get another job
as a meat cutter. The family followed by train the following January, but
they only stayed about a year in McGill because the copper ore fumes from the
nearby smelter were harmful to Betsy. She could not breathe and in the
nighttime it became even worse. So Nida and the children returned to their
little house in Moroni, leaving Otis to fend for himself in McGill.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;"><br />
<br />
The first part of October 1925 the family was reunited when they all moved to
Sparks, Nevada, three miles north of Reno, where Otis had secured a position
with Safeway Stores. In Sparks Nida began immediately to serve in the Church,
being called as a counselor in Primary the very first month. When her father
died suddenly on 7 May 1927, she and the children went home for the funeral
and when they returned, they found that Otis had been transferred to
Safeway’s large store in Reno as manager over the entire store. It was a good
career move for him.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;"><br />
<br />
To facilitate Otis’s new position, the family moved to Reno. But they did not
like it there because the school was too far away for Ralph to walk. So they
moved back to Sparks, where Ralph could walk to school. They did not have a
car at the time and the small town was much more convenient. It was not
difficult for Otis to get to work from Sparks because a street car went every
30 minutes to Reno and returned about as often. It stopped just a half block
from their home in Sparks and one block from the Safeway store in Reno, and
the fare was very reasonable.<br />
<br />
<br />
Over the next several years the Bradley family moved again and again, during
which time Otis mysteriously began to distance himself from Nida and the
children, even living apart from them for long periods of time. In July 1928,
he asked for a transfer to Santa Barbara so moved there on his own, leaving
his family in Sparks to facilitate their own move back to Moroni, where it
was agreed they would go. He left for California on July 5 without even
saying goodbye to his children.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;"><br />
<br />
In the ensuing months Nida suffered in private because of the outcome of her
marriage, but she constantly prayed for Otis’s return. California did
not prove to be a good venture for him, though, so he moved on and found an
opportunity to cut meat in Portland, Oregon, where he ultimately opened his
own butcher shop.<br />
<br />
For a while Otis sent $20 a month to Nida, from which she always paid $2 in
tithing the very first thing. When her Christmas check didn’t arrive that
year, however, Nida borrowed $5 from Grandpa Bradley so her family would have
a Christmas. Then in May 1929 she suffered another heartbreak when a parcel
post package arrived with Otis’s garments and the church books the local
missionaries had given to him when they tried to reactivate him in the
Church.<br />
Nida and her children were invited to go and live with Aunt Nellie Blackham
Morley in Salt Lake City. During that time she visited Otis once in Portland
to try to get him to come back to her, but it was no use, so she had to face
the ugly reality that she was totally on her own.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;"><br />
<br />
After making a few modifications to Nellie’s basement, Nida set up
housekeeping on a shoestring, and her cousin Doris got her a job at
Auerbach’s, which enabled her to now carry some of the financial
responsibility for her family. All this while Doris, despite her rheumatoid
arthritis, maintained her usual cheerful spirit, which proved to be a
real boon to Nida.<br />
<br />
Life was bearable, and ultimately even enjoyable, at Nellie’s, but Nida so
longed to have her family back together again. Though her husband was gone
she was at least able to help pay the rent now that she had her job at
Auerbach’s. But shortly after Thanksgiving Otis wrote asking for a
divorce—which broke Nida’s heart.<br />
<br />
<br />
After the divorce, Otis married Ofa Anna Marts and he ended up having lived
much of his adult life with her in Oregon. In Portland Otis owned his own
meat market and was a great success. His son, Ralph, recalls that he had real
people skills, which was partially why he did so well in his own business.<br />
<br />
Otis saw very little of his family after his divorce from Nida. Ralph was 35
years old before he had any kind of a relationship with him. Once when he was
in Boise, Idaho, on a business trip he felt impressed to drive over to
Portland, Oregon, to see his dad. They had a good visit and were able to get
re-acquainted with each other. Years later, after his wife died, Otis called
Ralph and said he would like to move back to Moroni, Utah, to live with his
brother Cliff and his wife, Rhea. So Ralph sent his sons Craig and Jim up to
Oregon to help with the move. There they rented a U-Haul truck and brought
their grandfather down to Moroni with all his things.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;"><br />
<br />
Otis had bought Cliff and Rhea a home in Moroni, which he had given them as a
gift, but things didn’t work out for him to live with them for very long so
Otis built a small addition on his nephew Ron’s house and lived there for
several years.<br />
<br />
Ralph often took two of his daughters, Barbara and Lisa, down to Moroni to
see Otis and to take him to lunch. He particularly liked the food at a
favorite restaurant in Ephraim. They enjoyed those trips because it gave them
a chance to nurture him and show love and concern for him. And their efforts
proved successful because Otis was really trying hard to become active in the
Church again. He was obeying the commandments, including paying his tithing,
but he needed to qualify for a temple recommend, which didn’t seem to be
forthcoming.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;"><br />
<br />
<br />
Ralph learned that his father had been struggling with some past things he
wanted to “clean up” in his life and didn’t quite know how to go about doing
it. He talked to his bishop and asked for his help, but the bishop wasn’t
very responsive, so nothing happened. Finally, Ralph intervened and talked to
the bishop’s wife and she encouraged the bishop to move things along, which
he did, and Otis finally got his temple recommend. After he moved to Salt
Lake Ralph had the privilege of performing the sealing of his deceased second
wife, Ann, to him in the Salt Lake Temple. (Nida, Ralph’s natural mother and
Otis’s first wife, who was sealed to him initially in the Manti Temple, had
that sealing canceled when she was married and sealed to her second husband,
John A. Donaldson.)<br />
<br />
In Salt Lake, Ralph bought a trailer home for Otis to live in and they parked
it near the Bradleys’ store so he could easily go back and forth to where
Ralph’s family members worked. They all enjoyed having him around. He was, in
fact, a great help to them all the while he lived there, partially because of
his own past experience in business.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;"><br />
<br />
About the time Ralph and Mildred were called on their mission to North
Carolina Otis’s health was beginning to fail so they assigned their daughter
Barbara to care for him regularly during their absence. She took him “out and
about” each day to run errands and tend to personal needs. Later, when she
was no longer able to keep up with his physical demands, the family moved him
to the Salt Lake Home on 200 North, and he lived there until he died on 24
June 1986 at age 89.<br />
<br />
After having been away from Utah and the majority of his family and friends
for so many years, Otis felt blessed to spend the last six years of his
mortal life “back home” again in Utah. It was only fitting that, even though
he was living in Salt Lake at the time of his passing, he should be buried
“back home” in the Moroni City Cemetery.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;"><br />
<br />
Having reconciled himself again with his Father in Heaven, his children have
every reason to one day see him “back home” again in the Bradley Family
Mansion, filling his own chair among the others whose hearts have been—and
are still being—turned to him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Martha Robinson was
born 22 March 1807 in Heaton Norris, Lancashire, England. She was the fourth of ten children born to
James and Elizabeth Perry Robinson.
Martha had six sisters and three brothers.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Heaton Norris
was a very tiny area near the town of Stockport, which is now a suburb of
Manchester. Stockport, even today, is a
very beautiful area with cobblestone streets and many flowers growing
everywhere. It is very green and has
rolling countryside. Open-air shops
line the cobblestone streets where people sell their wares.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Oliver Cromwell,
a man who ruled England during a time when the English people had no monarchy,
owned a big estate in Stockport, which was later developed into a park for the
English people to enjoy. In all
probability, Martha and her family enjoyed going to that park and seeing all
the relics of long ago that are on display there.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Manchester was
also an industrial area of England.
Many worked in the cotton factories, which spun cloth. Some worked in the iron foundries and
sawmills. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Martha married
Samuel Blackham when they were both 22 years old. Samuel was born in January 1807 in Sedgley,
Staffordshire, England, to Samuel and Lucy Evans Blackham. They settled in Heaton Norris and to this
couple were born seven children; John, James, William, Samuel, Elizabeth,
Sarah, and Thomas. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Samuel
Blackham was a Whitesmith, which according to a dictionary is a tinsmith, a
finisher, a polisher or galvanizer of iron and a blacksmith. On his oldest son's wedding certificate he
said he was a nail maker.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When Martha
was 40, Mormon missionaries including Brother John Taylor and C. H. Wheelock
contacted the Blackham family and taught them the fulness of Jesus Christ’s
Gospel. Martha was baptized 23 May 1847
by John Lees and confirmed 26 May 1847 by John Albiston, Jr. When she was baptized in England, the first
company of Mormon pioneers in America were wending their way across the plains
to the valleys of the Rocky Mountains. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It is reported
by the family, but documentation is scant, that Samuel Blackham, Sr. elected to
avoid Church membership. Family
tradition says he wanted "The Pub" more than Mormonism and parted
with his family. Samuel was not with
his family on the 1851 census. Samuel
Blackham died in a work house on 3 March 1854 of smallpox, he was only 47 years
old. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
By 1848,
Martha and her children moved 5 miles northeast to the Ashton-Under-Lyne
district and lived on Hertford Street, Walkmill, Audensaw. It was here that some more of the family
were baptized into the LDS Church. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Martha lost
two of their children while living in Ashton-Under-Lyne. In 1850, William died of hematemesis at age
17, vomiting blood for a duration of two days.
He had married just the year before and was a factory hand. Two and a half years later Elizabeth at the
age of 17 and a weaver in the cotton mills, died of meningitis. Life must have been very difficult for the
Blackham family. Neither William or
Elizabeth had joined the church yet.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
(From Sarah's history)
When Sarah Blackham was a very young girl about seven or eight, a
stranger came to the back door asking for some bread. Martha explained to him
that there was none left as it had all been eaten at their previous meal, but
Sarah spoke up and said there was a crust or two left, to which Martha replied;
“Well, if there is a crumb, give it to the man!”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
At this particular moment, a young friend of Martha’s boys,
Bob Mallinson was visiting at Martha’s home. Hearing the stranger’s request for
bread, he invited the stranger to go to his house, where his mother had just
baked that day, and she, he knew would give him a whole loaf. With these words,
the stranger thanked them all and departed. Bob realized immediately that he
had failed to give directions or address of his home to the stranger, so he
quickly cut through the house to the front door expecting to encounter the man
a he came around the house from the back door having a further distance to
travel, but this was not the case. The man was nowhere in the immediate
vicinity, but was clear up the street, knocking on the very door that Bob had
meant he should.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As the stranger knocked on her door, Ophelia Mallinson,
Bob’s mother, was just combing her hair preparatory to going to the shop to
purchase the necessities that was needed to sustain her family. She sat at the
dressing table pondering as to how she could stretch this last bit of money she
had in the world, which was a sovereign. Shocked out of her reverie by the
knock, Ophelia answered the door, brush in hand, and the clean neatly dressed
stranger, instead of asking for bread as it had been suggested he would, asked
for the exact amount of which she had, “a sovereign”. Mrs. Mallinson said, “God
Love Ye, but ‘tis the last cent I have in this world and I was only just now
trying to think of how I could make it go the furtherest.” Whereupon the neat
young man thanked her and as she shut the door, the most disappointed feeling
came over her that a must unusual reaction enveloped. She suddenly exclaimed;
“My God, what have I done? I’ll gee it ‘the man,” and quickly thrust open the
door to extend it to him, ere he got down the steps, but he was nowhere to be
seen. She went to every house, on each side of the street, her hair down and
brush still in hand, weeping and asking each and every resident if they had
seen such a person, until she at last came to Martha Blackham’s door, telling
her story once more. When her son Bob heard this, he told her that he had sent
the stranger to her for some bread, as he knew she had just baked and would
give him some. To this she quickly agreed she would have been only too glad to
have given him a loaf of bread if he would have just asked.<o:p></o:p></div>

Martha later firmly believed this stranger to be one of the
“three Nephites” told about in the Book of Mormon, because it was not too long
after this incident had occurred, that Sarah became very ill. She had
contracted three dread diseases, any one of which were killers in those days,
and the doctors had given up all hope, saying that only a miracle could save
her now, and it would have to be a king sized one at that.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One sad morning, Ophelia Mallinsen was over comforting
Martha, through her trying ordeal. The two women sat smoking their pipes,
weeping in desolation at being unable to help a loved one in such a time of
need, a most dreadful feeling of helplessness and sorrow. They wept in silence
and bitterness as Sarah was in her room upstairs, just over the kitchen and she
was not to be disturbed, because they knew how every little sound grated on the
nerves of their loved one. As Sarah lay quietly, she heard the outside kitchen
door open and close. Footsteps tracked across the kitchen floor till they
reached the stair door, (the only entrance to the upstairs rooms.) The stair
door opened and closed and Sarah counted the footsteps as they ascended the
stairs one by one, till they reached the top, then they came nearer and nearer
until they reached her door. As the door opened it revealed the stranger who
had come to her house just a few months previous. It did not occur to Sarah to
be afraid as he entered the room, because there came with him such a wonderful
feeling of well-being. He walked over to her bed, laid his hand upon her head
and said;”you’re a very sick girl, aren’t you?” to which Sarah answered; “Yes!”
He then told her that in his church of which he was a member, they administered
to the sick and afflicted by the laying on of hands, and if the person
receiving the blessing had faith enough, he or she would get well. Did she have
enough faith? Sarah being full of the wonderful feeling that this man seemed to
have brought with him, said; “I know I’ll get well, if only you will pray for
me.” At her reply, the man brought forth a small horn, which was filled with
consecrated oil described by him as a part of the administration. He rubbed
some on her forehead and both arms, blessing her with a most wonderful blessing
all the while stroking the oil on her arms for a short while longer and then
told her she was going to be alright now. He then turned opened, closed the
door behind him, and left. Sarah arose, got dressed and descended the stairs
herself. As soon as she opened the downstairs door to enter the kitchen her
mother thought she was delirious, but Sarah told them she was better, the nice
man had made her so.<o:p></o:p></div>

Martha and her
remaining children had a strong desire to gather to Zion and with the Perpetual
Emigration Fund they were all able to. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In the
territory of Utah, the Perpetual Emigration Company was organized to help the
Latter-Day Saints in Europe emigrate to America. The funds were loaned to each applicant who
was then responsible to repay the loan after arriving in Utah. Emigrants were to give their name, age,
occupation, birthplace, and a deposit of one pound sterling. They were expected to provide their own
bedding and cooking utensils. Food was
arranged for them. <o:p></o:p></div>

Martha's two
oldest sons came to America first.
James Blackham sailed in 1853 on the ship "Elvira Owen". John Blackham with his wife, Susannah, and
two children sailed in 1855 on the ship "Samuel Curling."<o:p></o:p></div>

Martha had
been a member of the Church for nine years when she left home and friends for
the sake of the Gospel on 25 May 1856.
Martha 49 with her three remaining children, Samuel 21, Sarah 16, and
Thomas 14, along with 800 saints set sail on the ship “Horizon” at Liverpool. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The
"Horizon" was a large ship for the time, having three masts, three
decks, and a square stern and figurehead.
The Saints were well organized for the voyage. They were divided into nine wards, with nine
cooks and ten men at watch. Cold and
foggy weather prevailed for most of the journey, but the "Horizon” made
good speed. They were on the ocean five
weeks and four days, landing in Boston 3 July 1856.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They took the
train for Iowa, arriving there on July 8th. The distance from the train to camp
was about four miles. They were tired
of riding, so they gladly walked the distance.
They had not gone far before a thunderstorm drenched them and everything
they were carrying. Night came on them,
and their clothes were wet, so they stood up all night. This was their first experience in traveling
to Zion on foot.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When they
reached the outfitting camp in Iowa City, they found no handcarts were ready
and all the seasoned lumber with which to make them had been used. This was because the camp had already
outfitted three other handcart companies that year, and now, late in the
season, a large group needed outfitting.
Counting the Thornton Saints, 1,620 persons needed handcarts or ox
trains. Martha with the rest of the
company had to remain in Iowa about a month waiting until more carts could be
made, and they had to be made from green wood.
Finally 260 carts were ready and it was on July 15th that 500 left with
Captain James G. Willie’s Fourth Company and on July 26th the remaining 576,
under the leadership of Captain Edward Martin’s 5th Company.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Martha and
family left Iowa City, July 26, 1856, in the Edward Martin’s Company. There were 146 carts, 7 wagons, 30 oxen, 50
cows and beef cattle for their group.
Behind them were two ox trains with Captain W. B. Hodgett in
command. Each person was allowed 17
pounds of clothing and bedding. The
Martin Handcart Company was the last of five handcart companies to leave Iowa
City that year.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
The road across Iowa was good and the journey, though made
through heat and dust, was accomplished without unusual difficulties. A few dropped out en route, to wait more
propitious traveling, or to forsake the project entirely. The journey to Florence Neb, 277 miles was
made in a little less than four weeks. Willie’s Company reaching there August
11th, and Martin’s on the 22nd of Aug.
Here each company was delayed for repairs. We held a mass meeting there to decide
whether or not to take the chance of starting across so late in the season, but
because of our anxiety to get to Zion we gambled on the weather and decided to
take the risk. Levi Savage, who knew the journey and its hardships tried to
talk us out of continuing. When seeing
that they intended to go on said: “What I have said I know to be true. But
seeing you are to go forward, I will go with you; will help all I can, will
work with you, will rest with you, will suffer with you, and if necessary, will
die with you. May God in his mercy
bless and preserve us.” On each cart we
put an extra hundred pounds of flour and our human draft animals pulled the
extra load without a complaint.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We pushed and pulled the handcarts, which bore up well until
we crossed that invisible line that divides the humid mid west from the arid
west. Then our green carts began to
warp and disintegrate and collapse. The
shrieking wooden axles were worn down under the grinding of the sand. We had to spend each night patching,
greasing the axles with soap or bacon rind, but still we hurried on, knowing
that we were dangerously late.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Then something more serious happened at Wood River, a few
miles above Grand Island, Nebraska. A
stampeding herd of buffalo came right through our camp, and when we finally
crawled out from under the confusion, we found thirty heads of our cattle
missing. This was disaster, because
this was our beef insurance for the rest of the journey, as well as draft
animals to pull our heavy loads of flour.
Now the flour had to be put on the already weakened handcarts.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
By now it was September and the nights were cold. There were deaths. Our seventeen pounds of
clothing and bedding was insufficient for our comfort. The older and weaker members dropped and
failed under the grind, stumbled into camp with faces drawn and set with
exhaustion, and sometimes would lie down for a moment's rest and die without
ever knowing how completely worn out they were. Life went out as smoothly as a
lamp ceases to burn when the oil is gone.
At first the deaths occurred slowly and irregularly, but in a few days they
happened at more frequent intervals, and we soon thought it unusual to leave a
camp ground without burying one or more persons. Many a father pulled his cart with his
little children on it until the day preceding his death.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We arrived at Fort Laramie and were able to buy a hundred
buffalo robes. These proved to be a
blessing and a curse, for while they might keep us warm at night, we could not
carry them in the daytime and many threw theirs away. When we reached Red Buttes we had to once
more cross the Platte River. It was now
slushy with ice. Dismay filled our
hearts for there was no ferry and no way to get across except to walk through. Grimly the fathers picked up their children
and waded out into the river; the women picked up their skirts and waded
through, like the heroines that they were, and as they had gone through many
other rivers and creeks. By the time we
got to the other side we were blue, shivering and starving. We camped for the night and when we woke up
the next morning there was a foot of snow on the ground and we had to stay
there. For three days we waited, we
could do nothing else. So many died
that a burial squad was appointed. I
sat looking at another young girl by the fire one evening and saw her die in
the act of raising a cracker to her mouth.
A day or two later I watched while eighteen of the company were buried
in one snow grave. It was impossible to
dig graves in the frozen ground.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When the storm blew out we plodded on; foot after tired foot
we trudged. We could not stop but had
to keep on our patient plodding, but before we reached the Sweetwater, another
three-day storm came and there we stayed.
Nobody in the group had strength enough left even to pitch a tent. We were waiting for the end. Five more corpses to be buried, and we could
only put them in the snowdrift. Sister
Elizabeth Kingsford, alarmed because her husband did not eat his supper,
wrapped him in their blankets and lay down beside him with all her clothes
on. About midnight, terribly cold, she
rolled closer to him and when she put her hand on him, she knew he was
dead. She cried out but her cries
brought none. The rest of the night she
lay grim and dry-eyed beside her husband's corpse; left to struggle on with her
three children, without hope, almost without thought, nothing left except the
indomitable spark that would not quite flicker out. Since we had crossed the Platte River only
nine days before, 56 of our company had died.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
While at prayer meeting during a bitter cold night Brother
Rodwell spoke in tongues. An
interpretation was given, telling that rescuers would arrive in 3 days. On the 3rd day, Joseph A. Young and another
man rode into our camp. What a shout
went up. They brought word that there
was food a few miles distant. During
the night, 19 people died. Wolves dug
up bodies of the dead from the frozen earth and devoured them. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Few oxen were left to pull the wagons. A sick oxen was killed and the meat
rationed. (from June Hoauk writings)<o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It was almost too late when the rescue party came. The
rescue party--what a wonderful blessing, and if it had come one day later there
probably would have been none of us left.
How did it happen that a rescue party found us? Missionaries bearing news of our plight had
arrived in Salt Lake City during the October Conference. They had accompanied
F. D. Richards on a westward express. They went right in while Conference was
in session and reported to President Young of the terrible condition of the
Willie and Martin companies. President
Young promptly adjourned conference and called for wagons, supplies and
volunteers. John Blackham, the brother of Sarah, who had come to the valley in
1855, was among the first that volunteered. There was no hesitancy as to what
should be done. Twenty-seven young men took off with wagonloads of food, warm
clothing and bedding. John Blackham and Cyrus Wheelwright’s wagon was among
them. (Cyrus Wheelwright was the man that had baptized some of the Blackham
family in England.) This was not an easy task for them, for they had a forced
drive across three or four hundred miles of wintry mountains. They crowded their teams recklessly day
after day, looking ahead for the vanguard of walkers. By the time they reached Fort Bridger they
were seriously alarmed and would have pushed on faster but a new storm stopped
them. That was the night of October
20th. That same night Captain Willie
and one companion, frostbitten and exhausted and riding two worn-out animals,
appeared out of the blizzard to tell them that if they didn't come at once
there was no use to come at all. They
broke camp and started again and did not stop until they reached the Willie
Company, and the night before they had reached them, nine more had died and the
rest had nothing to eat for 48 hours.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The rescuers built up great fires, distributed clothing and
bedding and handed out food. They had
come in time to save the lives of most of the Willie Company. The rescuers divided, half staying with the
Willie Company the others under Captain Grant continuing on to find the Martin
party. They found us on the last day of
October at Greasewood Creek, sixteen miles east of Devil’s Gate. We were camped
and waiting for the end, too exhausted to do more. We had no food except a little stringy beef
from draft animals that had worn themselves out in the harness and that food
had made us all sick. Our clothes were almost worn out. Most of our bedding had
been left behind, as it was too heavy to carry. Martha was caring for a small
orphan boy, Billy Wareworth with frozen feet.
Unfortunately, he died later. It is hard to imagine the emotions of
rescue, the dazed joy of being found by your own son, and snatched from the
brink of the grave. It is hard to imagine that hope that has been crushed
little by little until it is apparently dead can come back like life itself
returning. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Now at least things looked better. The deaths continued, however, because of
the weakened condition of our people. The rescuers helped bury the dead. Then more rescue wagons came along with more
supplies and as quickly as possible they loaded up the weakest and started them
for Salt Lake City. The survivors were
so thin they almost looked like skeletons.
Only one third of us came along on our own power but it was easier
because there now was a broken trail to follow and someone there to help when
help was needed. We were camped at the
Devil’s Gate Fort, where we were to remain for several days. It was decided we should move on to find a
sheltered place where wood was procurable.
Loaded with the sick and dying, the wagons were to move along the
Sweetwater and cross to a depression, later to be known as Martin’s Cove, about
two and one-half miles from Devil’s Gate.
On November 3, the handcarts reached the river, filled with floating
ice. Some pushed through, but others were unequal to the ordeal. Three 18 year old boys (C. Allen Huntington,
George W. Grant, and David P. Kimball) belonging to the relief party, came to
the rescue; and to the astonishment of all who saw, carried nearly every member
of that ill-fated handcart company across the snowbound stream. The strain was so terrible, and the exposure
so great, that in later years, all the boys died from the effects of it. “That act alone said Brigham Young, will
bring to those boys everlasting salvation in the Celestial Kingdom of God,
worlds without end.” The fatigued
Saints finally reached the wagons encamped in the cove against the granite
mountain, where they found some shelter through several freezing days. On
November 6th, it was eleven degrees below zero. It was decided to store the goods at the
Fort and use the empty wagons to haul the sick and incapacitated members on to
Salt Lake. Seventeen men were assigned
to stay and protect the goods till spring.
Dan W. Jones, Thomas Alexander and Ben Hampton were three of the men
that stayed. The ordeal they endured
during the long winter was terrible.
Their cattle died; they ate the lean meat, and got hungry eating
it. Finally they were reduced to eating
rawhide. At first it made them sick,
but Jones, a professional cook devised a plan and evolved this recipe; “Scorch
and scrape the hair off; this had a tendency to kill and purify the bad taste that
scalding gave it. After scraping, boil
one hour in plenty of water, throwing the water away which had extracted all
the glue, then wash and let it get cold, and then eat with a little sugar
sprinkled on it. This was considerable
trouble, but we had little else to do and it was better than starving. We asked the Lord to bless our stomachs and
adapt them to this food…We enjoyed this sumptuous fare for about six weeks, and
never got the gout. (Improvement Era, XVII, p. 288)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When we got to Echo Canyon a child was born in one of the
wagons. One wonders how the mother
survived long enough to bring him to life but she lived to arrive in Salt Lake
City. They wrapped him in the garments
of one of the young rescuers and named him Echo.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The party moved forward on November 9th. Ahead of the company, there still stretched
325 miles of high, mountain desolation, mantled in snow. The severe cold continued and some persons
had their fingers, toes, or feet frozen; others died.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Our supplies became dangerously low. No more help had yet come. And there was uncertainty as to when, or if,
it would come. Redick N. Allred and
others refused to turn back because of the snow. Ephraim Hanks, one of the greatest of Mormon
scouts, continued to push on. Though
compelled to leave his wagonload of supplies, he pushed on alone through the
storms, with a saddle horse and a pack animal, hoping to meet the westbound
handcart. On the way, he providentially
encountered buffalo and killed one. “I
skinned and dressed the cow;” he writes, “then cut up part of its meat in long
strips and loaded my horses with it.
Thereupon I resumed my journey, and traveled on till towards
evening. I think the sun was about an
hour high in the west when I spied something in the distance that looked like a
black streak in the snow. As I got near
to it, I perceived it moved; then I was satisfied that this was the long looked
for handcart company, led by Captain Edward Martin. I reached the train just as the immigrants
were camping for the night. That sight
that met my gaze as I entered their camp can never be erased from my
memory. The starved forms and haggard
countenances of the poor suffers, as they moved about slowly, shivering with
cold, to prepare their scanty meal was enough to touch the stoutest heart. When they saw me coming, they hailed me with
joy inexpressible, and when they further beheld the supply of fresh meat I
brought into camp, their gratitude knew no bounds. Flocking around me, one would say, ‘Oh,
please, give me a small piece of meat; another would exclaim, ‘My poor children
are starving, do give me a little; and children with tears in their eyes would
call out, “Give me some, give me some.’
At first I tried to wait on them and handed out the meat as they called
for it; but finally I told them to help themselves. Five minutes later both my horses had been
released of their extra burden-the meat was all gone, and the next few hours
found the people in camp busily engaged in cooking and eating it, with thankful
hearts.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hanks went about the
camp administering to the sick. He
washed their frozen limbs with water and castile soap, until the frozen parts
would fall off, after which I would sever the shreds of flesh from the
remaining portions of the limbs with my scissors. Some lost toes, others fingers, and again
other whole hands and feet; one woman who now resided in Koosharen, Piute, Utah
lost both her legs below the knees, and quite a number who survived became
cripples for life.<o:p></o:p></div>

The snow was 18 inches deep.
Brother Wheelock rode a horse and
John was driving the wagon. When they
reached the summit of “Big Little Mountain”, they say smoke issuing from a
distant grove of trees. At first sight
they thought it was Indians, but upon going nearer they saw it was the
ill-fated Martin Handcart Company.
Brother Wheelock on his horse reached there first and heard Thomas cry
out, “Here comes our Jack.” Never had
there been a more happy reunion. Tears
would flow from his eyes, as he would relate the story. He said, “Never have I received a more
welcome greeting. When this help came
they had no food except four pounds of flour for each person left in camp. They had cooked rawhide to obtain some
nourishment. At one time they had
buried 17 persons in a snow bank. The
survivors were so thin they almost looked like skeletons. Little Billy Wareworth lost his father and
mother. But John’s mother, Martha, took
him to her heart. He rode with his
little feet hanging over the side of the wagon and they froze, causing his
death after they reached Salt Lake City.

The Martin handcart company arrived in Salt Lake City on Sunday noon
November 30, 1856 in relief wagons that now numbered 104. President Brigham Young along with many
others met them outside the city and tears of joy rolled down his face when he
saw they were rescued. The saints were
taken to the Sugarhouse ward the meetings had been dismissed early. President Brigham Young had asked the Church
members to take the new converts into their homes and care for them until they
could find places of their own. The
loss of life for the Martin Company was between 150 and 160. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Somehow
Martha, Samuel, Sarah and Thomas all survived with no lasting physical problems
that we know of. They were probably
taken to John's house and cared for by his wife, Susannah. But John and Susannh were very poor and
would not have had enough food to feed them all through the winter. <o:p></o:p></div>

That very winter, Martha and her family were called to help
settle Nephi, in Juab County. When she
reached this place, a fort had been built for protection against the Indians
and their raids. The wall around the
fort covered an area of four blocks, and inside were small homes, in one of
which the family lived during the winter.
With no means of support for the winter, they lived on charity, which
was meager at times.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
While living in Nephi in 1857, Martha was given her patriarchal
blessing by John Murdock. She was
blessed that the Comforter, the Holy Ghost, would rest upon her and be a light
to guide her....She would rejoice in Christ.
Her blessing stated that she and her kindred in the flesh would become
Savior on Mount Zion. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In December of 1857, Sarah, age 18 married Charles
Kemp. Her first baby was born and died
there in 1858. Also, James’ wife,
Harriet Tucker, had her third child, a son, Cyrus William Blackham, born in
Nephi in 1858. (James was living in Fillmore
in 1856 so had not known about the rescue.)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In the spring of 1859, the Blackham family, along with
several other families, were called to settle on the banks of the Sanpitch
River in present-day Sanpete County.
When Martha first saw the green pastures in the Valley she was reminded
of her beloved home in England. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The settlement, first named ‘Sanpitch,’ was renamed
Moroni. On their first day there, they
met Chief San pitch, who would be both a friend and an enemy. Along the river bottom, they built dugouts
where they endured the cold winter, little food, and problems with the
Indians. In August 1859, John’s wife,
Susannah, delivered a son, John Blackham, Jr., the first child born in the new
settlement. And Sarah Blackham Kemp
delivered a son, Charles Kemp, Jr., in Sep 1859.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
About this time, Samuel left Moroni on a special trip east
to visit with the Lamb family in St. Joseph, Missouri. He had known this family in England, for
they were all members of the Manchester Conference of the Mormon Church. The Lambs had left England in 1853, three
years before the Blackham family had left, and Samuel especially wanted to
visit with their daughter Mary Ann Lamb, who was now 18 years old. They courted
and were married on 4 March 1860. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Shortly thereafter, Samuel and Mary Ann moved west to
Moroni, Utah. In the spring of 1862 a
disastrous flood made it necessary for the Moroni pioneers to move their
settlement from the banks of the Sanpitch river up into the hills, where it
would remain.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Blackham men in Moroni, once cotton mill workers, had to
learn the occupation of farming. The
land had been divided into 5-acre lots.
Ditches and canals had to be dug along the low hillsides, and the ground
prepared for planting. Finally, the
harvests were hand-picked if they had not been devoured by hordes of
grasshoppers. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Moroni settlers, in the middle of this 1866 Indian War,
celebrated the 24th of July. A large
willow bowery was made in front of the meetinghouse. At sunrise, guns were fired with a beating
of a snare drum. A parade was formed at
10 a.m. of road makers, pioneers, ban, queen and 24 attendants, horsemen,
guards, marching men, women and children. In all, the parade was four blocks
long. In the afternoon there were songs
and speeches. At the conclusion of the
day, there was another big volley of guns.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Another entertainment the people participated in was the
home dramatics, a group of talented citizens who spent the long winter months
rehearsing and presenting drama productions to the townspeople. Church services on Sundays and during the
week were attended, as well as school programs, especially spelling bees.<o:p></o:p></div>

By now Martha, had a good number of grandchildren, and it
would have been pleasing to her to attend these church and community functions
with family members. A Garden Club was
organized in 1869 so that citizens could exhibit their fruits and vegetables at
the Pioneer Celebration on July 24th.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In the spring of 1870, Samuel and his family left the Church
because of plural marriage. They also
left Moroni and finally settled in Evanston, Wyoming. The decision of Samuel to leave the Church
brought much sorrow to Martha and the rest of her family in Moroni.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A home was built for Martha through the lot from her
daughter Sarah’s house. She was very
particular about her home. The wood
floors were scrubbed every week, the hearth stove in front of the fireplace was
polished with sand, the copper bucket was polished until a person could see
their reflection in it. Her meals were
regular and on time. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Martha also
devoted much of her time to her Church duties, and was true to her faith all
her life.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When her
daughter had a new brick home built across the street from the City Hall, a
room was made for Martha. So when
Martha's eyesight became so weakened that she could not live alone, she moved
in with Sarah.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Martha died on
11 December 1888 after living in Utah for 32 years and was buried in the family
plot in Moroni.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: "segoe ui" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Shortly thereafter, Hial was called on a mission to New Zealand, which lasted about four years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>During the time of his mission, Hial had not forgotten about Betsey Blackham.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was through the letters of Jim Larsen that Hial had learned about Betsey and she about him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Therefore, soon after his return from New Zealand, Hial made a trip to Moroni to visit his friend Jim and of course he hoped to see Betsey Blackham.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The trip was a success and later in the spring Hial and Betsey made plans for a fall wedding.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They were married October 12, 1898 in the Manti Temple.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "segoe ui" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>On Sunday the 6th of August 1899, Hial and his brother, Bishop George Hales, gave their darling baby a name and a father's blessing. She was given the name of Nida Susannah Hales, Susannah, after Betsey's mother.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This took place in the home, in Betsey's presence, and later it was recorded in the Mammoth Ward records.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "segoe ui" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "segoe ui" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Aunt Eliza told how very much Betsey suffered with no complaining, all her thoughts were for the interest and well being of her lovely baby, Nida. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<span style="font-family: "segoe ui" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">While Betsey was ill, every two weeks different members of her family would come from Moroni with a team and wagon, bring fresh vegetables from their gardens, and a lady to help with the work in the home; then the lady that had been there the past two weeks would return home with the brother.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In September, after the children were in school, Matilda Blackham, John's wife (John was Betsey's brother), discussed with her husband and oldest daughter, Nellie (who was 17 and had finished school), if they did not think they could manage their home and the five younger children for a couple of weeks and let her go over to Mammoth and take her turn helping in Betsey's home; they thought they could.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So Matilda came over to Mammoth. When she first saw Nida, she said to Hial, "Hial, this is a very sick baby, she is full of canker."<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He said, "Till, (that is what they called her) don't you do anything but take care of that baby."<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Aunt Till, who had left her family for two weeks, was away from them for six weeks.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "segoe ui" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Betsey was very fond of having Hial sing to her, they both loved the hymns.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He had a sweet and melodious voice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One particular day when he got home from work, she was asleep.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He had found her asleep before, but she would awaken immediately, or at least if he started to softly sing one of her favorite songs, but this day it was difficult to arouse her, and took some time, even pressure.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "segoe ui" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>When she did respond - she said, "Oh, why did you bring me back?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have been in the most beautiful place." She said she had been with Tryphena, Uncle George and Aunt Eliza's little girl who had died in March before Nida's birth in June.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "segoe ui" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>After this experience they dedicated her to the Lord. (That was the pattern in those days, if someone was very ill and it seemed they were not to get well.) Shortly after this Betsey left her husband, baby daughter and all her loved ones in life to go to that place she had not wanted to leave.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
