BENJAMIN NEPHI HOWARTH (also found in Memories section)
Obtained from http://deh-familyhistory.us/BNHowarth.html.
Benjamin Nephi Howarth was of English descent, the son of Benjamin Howar t h and Ellen Gregory. He was born the 29th of December 1845 in Glasgow , Sc otland.
Alice Louise Howarth, known to most as "Aunt Allie", one of Benjamin's d a ughters provided most of this information.
As a young lad in England he learned the calico printing trade and was a d ept in the production of the gay colored fabrics then turned out in va s t quantities for the India trade.
His parents were early converts to Mormonism and their home was a note d r allying point for missionaries.
He married Betsy Cooke, daughter of Richard Cooke and Betty Greenhalgh , a t Bury, Lancashire, England, on the 31st of March 1868. Chancing to w i n a valuable painting as a prize, he was able to realize enough from i t s sale to permit himself and his young wife to emigrate to Utah, They l ef t Liverpool June 20, 1868, on the sailing vessel, Emerald Isle, and we r e weeks on the water. He has left the following description of their tr ip :
"The Emerald Isle had a long room with a double row of bunks on each sid e , with a twelve inch board between each bunk which prevented one person ' s clothes from getting tangled with his neighbor's. This room accommoda te d about one hundred people.
The food was distributed - one went on deck, took one's place in line, w i th a string of small sacks on one's arm. A long rope was stretched, beh in d which were barrels and sacks, and attendants doled out a week's allo wan ce. One pound of flour for each person, some rice, peas and bacon. Ea ch f amily had supplied itself with cooking utensils and the cooking wa s don e on a large range on deck. If the weather was stormy preparing mea ls bec ame a most difficult task.
The water used was partly taken from barrels in the hold, which had prob a bly done duty as ballast on previous trips, for after one day out the m ac hinery for condensing failed to work. — They had to stop at Queenstow n an d take on a supply but it did not last very long .
There was much sickness and some days three or four bodies were sewn i n c anvas and slid over the ship's side to the watery grave."
After fifty-six days land was reached and the couple found themselve s e n route over the plains toward the Valley of the Great Salt Lake. H e walk ed most of the way. Before sailing from Liverpool he had inquire d at th e Church office as to the chances of having his mother sent to Ut ah throu gh the aid of the Perpetual Emigration Fund. He was informed tha t an effo rt would be made to send her out later .
One day on the plains he observed a horsemen approaching from the opposi t e direction. It developed that he was a missionary who had stayed at t h e Howarth home in England. He remarked that he had had a nice visit wi t h Mr. Howarth's mother a few days before. Mr. Howarth asked in surpris e " What do you mean? I left her in England." It had so happened that th e Per petual Emigration Fund money had arrived soon after his departure a nd arr angements had been made for his mother's trip to the West and ther e she w as in the Valley waiting to welcome her son.
They settled in Centerville, Utah. There a son was born but he lived b u t a short time.
Mr. Howarth worked on the first railroad through Echo Canyon. This was c o mpleted May 10, 1869.
To attend Conference he would walk from Centerville to Salt Lake over ro u gh roads and through the sage brush. He would carry his shoes under hi s a rm until he reached the city, then he put them on to attend the meeti ng , taking them off again for the return trip home, for he did not wis h t o wear them out.
In 1891 he sold his farm at Centerville for a gallon of molasses and a n o ld stove and came to Salt Lake, living in the Eleventh Ward. He taugh t ni ght school in that Ward for some time and then became interested i n photo graphic work and was associated with C. R. Savage. [Alternate Ref erence ]
Mr. Howarth was the father of the following children: by his first wif e , Betsy Cook Howarth: Nephi, Alice Louise, George, William Cook, James , S am and Moroni.
By his second wife, Amelia Elizabeth Price Howarth: Elizabeth Ellen, Jo h n Price, Charles, Joseph Raymond and Amelia Ann. He died March 2, 1929.
A friend and associate, writing of-him at the time of his death, said "M r . Howarth was not only a delightful philosopher, a kindly gentleman, a n a rdent lover of nature and enthusiastic fisherman, but a pioneer whos e col orful existence was typical of a rapidly vanishing type of citizen. "

Biographical History
Abraham Alonso Kimball was born on April 6, 1846, in Nauvoo, Hancock Cou n ty, Illinois. He was the son of Heber C. Kimball and Clarissa Cutler Ki mb all. Heber C. Kimball was among the leaders of the first Mormon Pionee r s to travel to Utah. He left his family behind in Iowa in the care of h i s wife’s father. Upon the death of his mother, Abraham remained in Iow a w ith his grandparents until 1862, when he came to Utah with his uncle.
Shortly after his arrival in Utah, he went to visit the Kimball family . H e received a very congenial welcome, and after some time he decided t o st ay. He became part of the family, working and attending school. He l ate r came to call his stepmother, Adelia, “mother”.
Abraham was baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-d a y Saints on 10 April, 1863. Shortly thereafter, he was set apart as a m is sionary and was sent to Iowa to bring his brother Isaac to Utah. Isaa c wi llingly came to join the Kimball family, and was later baptized an d serve d a mission.
After his Iowa mission, Abraham returned to Utah to work, preferring mac h inery to what he called “book learning.” He married Mary Eliza Hatton K im ball in 1866. In 1874, he entered into the practice of plural marriage , t aking Lucy Brown as a wife. He married his third wife, Laura Moody, i n 18 82. To these three marriages were born a total of fourteen children . Th e first son among these children was Abraham Alonso Kimball, Jr. H e was b orn 24 February, 1872, in Petersburg, Millard County Utah. Mary E liza wa s his mother.
Abraham went on a second mission to Liverpool, England, departing in Ju n e 1877 with instructions from the First Presidency of the Church to b e ca reful of his health. He returned to Kanosh, Millard County, Utah, i n Jul y of 1878. In December of the same year, he was sustained as the se cond B ishop of the Kanosh ward.
During the course of his life, Abraham worked mainly as a farmer. Whe n h e was young, he worked at a carding machine. After his mission in Eng land , he worked as a thresher until the machine that he worked with wa s irrep arably damaged, at which point he went on to work alternately a s a railro ad foreman, freighter, salesman, quarryman, and surveyor. He d id not accu mulate an extraordinary fortune, but managed to keep his fami ly provide d for and healthy.
Beginning in 1885, being aware of his failing health, Abraham drew u p a s eries of wills that would settle his estate among his family and up date d them periodically. He died 24 September, 1889, in Kanosh, of lun g compl ications at the age of forty three.
At the death of his father, Abraham Jr. was only seventeen years old. Bo t h of Abraham Sr.’s households (that of Mary Eliza and that of Lucy Brow n ) faced hard times for a season, as there was no grown son to assume t h e leadership of the families. But young Abraham rose to the task, and w it h the help of friends and extended family, the families survived.
In November of 1896 at the age of twenty-four, Abraham set out to ser v e a mission in the Southern states. His journals record that he spent t h e majority of his time in Kentucky and West Virginia, but also visite d Ci ncinnati Ohio, Philadelphia Pennsylvania, and Washington D. C.

Biographical Sketch of Luella Whipple Gilchrist Wilson, My Mother
by Lyall Wilson
Luella Whipple, fourth child of Edson Whipple and Mary Beth Whipple, w a s born in Lehi on 10 January 1888 at the family home on 1st East and 4 2 7 North. The home, like so many homes built at that time, was construct e d of adobe. It was a two-story building facing east with the living ro o m and bedroom downstairs and two bedrooms upstairs. There was a built- o n lean-to on the back or west side. This was made of lumber outside an d l ined with adobe inside, then plastered, which made a well-insulated k itch en, cool in the summer and warm in the winter. This is where the peo ple s pent most of their time indoors at that time, in the kitchen with t he bi g coal stove complete with a warming oven above the cooking surfac e an d a water reservoir on the side to warm water by the stove, which ca me i n handy for washing the face and hands and for many other little thi ngs t hat needed a bit of warm water. It was an unwritten law that if yo u too k a gallon of water out, you put that much back in at once for th e next p erson. Just outside the back door of the kitchen was a root cell ar wit h a rock foundation, a packed earthen floor and earth or dirt fro m some f ield forming a huge mound over the whole cellar. There was a doo r on th e south side for easy entrance.
The things that I have always loved about these kitchens, they were ve r y clean and comfortable and had a large table with a tablecloth coveri n g it. It seems that whenever you came into one they had the smell of go o d cooking and fresh bread and in some cases fresh made coffee. I can re me mber Grandmother Whipple’s kitchen as if it were yesterday.
Luella or Ella as she was known by her friends and relatives, grew u p i n Lehi attending the Ross and Central schools. Mother was a very pret ty , well-liked person and very popular with her fellow students while at ten ding school. Mother and her first husband John Gilchrist were schoo l swee thearts. And they spent a lot of time together. They even held han ds whil e on their way to school or back home. Mother graduated from th e Centra l School completing the eighth grade. The students then, or mayb e I shoul d say at that time, went over to American Fork and took their f inal exami nations test in the American Fork’s school. They held their gr aduating ex ercises in the American Fork Tabernacle, as a matter of fac t Lehi, Americ an Fork, Alpine, and Pleasant Grove all held their graduat ion exercises a t the same time in the same place. They had high school s just starting t o get organized at that time but I can’t find out if mo ther went to hig h school.
Mother married John Gilchrist on 8 November 1905. She wasn’t quite 18 a n d her husband John was a little older than 19. He wasn’t old enough t o b e married without his parents’ consent so his father signed the marri ag e license giving them his consent. They went to Provo 2 November and a ppl ied for a marriage license then on 8 November they were married in th e Sa lt Lake Temple for time and eternity. Mother had three children fro m thi s marriage. Miriam, born 21 September 1906, Bruce, born 22 Octobe r 1908 , who died the same day, and John Cameron, born 20 September 1909 . Mother ‘s husband passed away 11 October 1909 at the age of 23, from ty phoid fev er, just three weeks after Jack was born. In just four years’ t ime Mothe r had had three children, lost her second child, and her husban d. This wa s a tragedy in itself, but the hard times were yet to come . A young wido w at that time had nowhere or anyone to turn to, except he r relatives, fo r help. They had very few job opportunities, cooking fo r ranchers or cons truction workers, taking in borders, or perhaps housek eeping. So to put i t bluntly, they were between a rock and a hard place . I’ll add a little m ore to the story while I’m at this time in Mother’ s life. Her father pass ed away 22 February 1909, at the age of 56, leavi ng her mother with fiv e children at home. Grandmother Whipple was 44 a t this time. It is safe t o say that Grandmother Whipple and John Gilchri st’s folks tended to the c hildren whenever mother could find work durin g this time. John, her husba nd, and his father had built a home next t o his father’s place. This woul d be at 750 N. 3rd E. His father gave the m the property and helped to bui ld the home. When John died, the propert y was still in his father‘s name . They sold the home and gave the mone y to mother. When the freeway was b uilt through Lehi, in later years, th e home was torn down to make way, bu t her father in law’s home is stil l standing and in good condition. Mothe r went to Idaho for a short tim e about this time in her life, and staye d with her uncle Leo Jacob‘s an d her aunt Zena Woodhouse. The rest of th e time she made ends meet the b est she could .
Mother was a widow just over four years until she met dad and was marri e d to him 21 January1913. I could not pinpoint where the Wilson family m ov ed to when they came back to Lehi. Sister Miriam says they lived acros s t he street from the Gilchrist home and my cousin Albert said they liv e jus t east of there. So it is safe to say that Dad saw Mother when sh e was ma rried, and later when she was a widow. Dad was two years younge r than sh e was. Mother and Dad went to Provo and applied for the marriag e license , then came back to Provo bench and were married there on the b ench whic h is now known as Orem. Mother was 25 at this time and Dad wa s 23, but Da d put his age down on the marriage license as 24. This was 2 1 January 191 3.
Before I go any further with this story maybe I should describe Mothe r t o you when she was married to Dad. My sister, who knew her well, tell s m e Mother had a lot of pride and dignity and was pretty and stylish wh en s he dressed up. She had hazel-colored eyes and pretty chestnut brow n hair . She was better looking than her sisters and was about 5’6” tal l and wa s of slender build. She liked to read and was well-informed o n a lot of s ubjects. She could laugh and have a good time but was more s erious in he r outlook on life. She had a gift of writing and could and d id give talk s or teach, and she also took part in several plays in her y ounger years.
Mother and Dad lived in two or three homes after they were married an d r eturned to Lehi. I was born in one just east and north of the Fourt h War d church on 25 August 1913 and brother Dean was born in Lehi, 5 Jan uary 1 916. Dad worked around the Lehi area wherever he could find work . At Merc ur, Toyclift, on a sugar processing plant in the north east cor ner of Pro vo and for Uncle Monroe whenever he needed help. Jack (or Came ron as we a lways called him) only lived with Mother and Dad a short tim e then he ret urned to his grandfather’s home (Robert Gilchrist), to liv e with his gran dparents. Dad found work in Magna at the Arthur Mill a s a carpenter in 19 17 which was during World War I. Dad‘s brother Bill m oved there the sam e time. Perhaps the two families moved out there toget her. I don’t know a t this time if they did, but I do know that Mother an d Uncle Bill never d id get along too well. We lived in a rented house o r two before Dad and M other bought their home on First West where we liv ed for the next 12 year s that we were in Magna. I can remember one insta nce when we were in a re nted home, I was sitting on a wooden porch facin g south. I had found a ha mmer and a few nails and had sat down and naile d my pant legs down on th e wooden porch. When I couldn’t get up I reall y made a lot of noise. Moth er came out to see what was wrong and everyon e got a good laugh out of it .
Miriam was with us in Magna but Jack was still with his grandparents bec a use Dad could not get along with him because he reminded him so much o f h is father, John. Jack did spend some of his vacations in Magna durin g th e summer and some of the holidays however and Mother wrote letters t o hi m which he has kept a few as mementos. I always looked forward to hi s vis its because he was my big brother and have always liked him so much . Moth er and Dad seemed to get along well together because I can remembe r the m going to dances and parties in Magna and picnics in the summer a t Sarat oga and down to Provo in a horse and buggy they borrowed from unc le Hi An derson.
When we moved into the house on First West, the ward house was directl y a cross the road from our house. We lived on the west side and the war d hou se was on the east side. This building was a wooden structure quit e lon g and narrow. They held their service in the west end and their cla ssroom s were in the east end. There was an annex just off the chapel o n the nor th side. This was used for small get togethers like parties an d bizarres .
Mother has always been a vague memory to me. I can just remember bits a n d pieces about her while I was a child before we lost her so I’ll put d ow n some things that come to mind. They probably won’t be in the order t he y happened but maybe they will help you know her a little bit, like on e S unday morning when we were getting ready for Sunday school and I ha d to p ut on a pair of knickers, which I hated with a passion, I asked Mo ther ho w old I had to be before I could wear regular pants. She though t for a mi nute then said, “when you are 12 years old we will get you a p air.”
Mother and Miriam were quite active in the church organizations and th e y probably had a job in one of these, in this ward at this time. The sa cr ament bread was made and brought to the meetings by the members of th e wa rd and it was quite an honor when it came your turn to bring a few s lice s of bread for the sacrament services. Mother and Miriam would fus s ove r this bread until it was just right then they would wrap it in a c lean n apkin and away we would go to church. I can remember one fine summ er even ing sitting on the front steps of our home listening to the congr egatio n singing one of their hymns. It was warm and they had open the do ors an d windows and their voices carried across the road to where I sat . I coul d tell by the way they sang they were enjoying every word an d I can remem ber the song. It was “Come Come Ye Saints.”
They started to build a new ward house just before Gayln was born. Th i s was in 1922. The new building was on the north side of the old one wi t h the space of about 50 feet between the two buildings. On June 10, 192 2 , brother Gayln was born. I can remember running all over the neighborh oo d telling the neighbors we had a new baby brother at our house. It pro bab ly wasn’t as much of a surprise to them as it was to me. Dad wante d a gir l because of some of the things he and Mother talked about when t hey didn ’t know I was listening.
Dad got a car about this time of our lives and after showing it off to t h e neighborhood we all loaded into it one day and went to Lehi to show t h e car off to our relative and after showing it off to the neighborhoo d w e all loaded into it one day and went to Lehi to show the car off t o ou r relations and some of Dad‘s friends. We had left Mother home for s ome r eason and when we returned home after dark we found her sitting i n the da rk in the kitchen beside the kitchen stove crying. We all gather ed aroun d her to find out the reason she was feeling so bad. She wiped h er eyes a nd said she had wanted to go with us so badly just to see her f olks onc e again.
Dad always smoke cigarettes and sometimes a cigar which I don’t think Mo t her approved of. Dad didn’t smoke in the house. He would leave the ciga r s and cigarettes out on the back porch on a 2 x 4 just inside the scre e n partition as we came in the door. He did this in respect of Mother , I a m sure.
Mother and Uncle Joe Wilson always got along good together. I can rememb e r going out to Ophir on a train with mother and Dean for a visit and ag ai n after we got the car, Dad drove out there. Mother and Aunt Pearl vis ite d while Dad, Uncle Joe, his son Sherman, and I went down the canyon a nd o ut on the sagebrush flats and shot jack rabbits which we skinned an d brou ght back to the house and the women cooked them for supper .
A few weeks before Bud (Llewellyn) was born, Mother came down with a co l d. It must’ve been a bad one because Mrs. Bezzant, who was a nurse an d li ved two houses south of us, was helping her fight it. They went t o a doct or in Magna for help but he brushed this cold off as a minor thi ng. Whe n the baby was on the way they called this doctor and had quit e a hard ti me getting him to come help with the baby. When he finally di d arrive, h e gave Mother ether even when she told him she didn’t want t o use it an d didn’t want it. The ether drove the cold and congestion dee per into Mot her’s lungs until she developed pneumonia. Once again they t ried to get t he doctor to come help but he wouldn’t. Finally at Mrs. Bez zant’s insiste nce, Dad got the doctor from the Magna Mills to come to lo ok at Mother. W hen he saw her and examined her a little bit, he sent he r right into th e St Marks Hospital in Salt Lake, but by then Mother wa s so bad she onl y lived about six hours.
They took mother from St. Mark’s down to the Lehi mortuary. They held t h e viewing in grandmother Whipple’s living room and the funeral in the L eh i First Ward chapel. As I can remember, it was a large funeral. It see m s like all of Lehi was there. We sat down in front with flowers and ros e s all around us and with the organ playing hymns from the song book. Fr o m that day until this, the smell of roses and organ music makes me abo u t half sick. After the services, we all went up to the Lehi cemetery a n d Mother was placed beside her first husband, John Gilchrist. Mother pa ss ed away February 20, 1924 and the funeral services were held the 23r d o f February. She left a five day old son (Llewellyn), Gayln, Dean, mys elf , Jack Gilchrist, and sister Miriam, also Dad who was 34 years old a t thi s time. And mother was in the prime of her life. She was just 36 ye ars ol d the month before this sad day. | Whipple, Luella (I18620)

In 1840, Sibley joined with Morse and Ezra Cornell to create a Washingt o n to Baltimore telegraph service. In 1851, Sibley and others organize d th e New York and Mississippi Valley Printing Telegraph Company in Roch ester . Sibley later served as first president of Western Union Telegrap h Compa ny.
In 1861, Jeptha Wade, founder of Western Union, joined forces with Benja m in Franklin Ficklin and Hiram Sibley to form the Pacific Telegraph Comp an y. With it, the final link between the east and west coast of the Unit e d States was made by telegraph. In conjunction with Perry Collins, Sibl e y later hoped to build a telegraph line from Alaska to Russia through t h e Bering Strait, the so-called Russian American Telegraph. However, th i s dream collapsed with the establishment of a cross-Atlantic line to Eu ro pe.
Sibley funded the Sibley College of Mechanical Engineering and Mechani c A rts, as well as the building which housed it, Sibley Hall, at Cornel l Uni versity in Ithaca, New York. Today, the program is known as the Sib ley Sc hool of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, and is located in pa rts o f Upson, Grumman, and Rhodes Halls. Sibley Hall is now a part of th e Coll ege of Art, Architecture, and Planning.
Death[edit]
Sibley died in 1888 and was interred at Mount Hope Cemetery in Rochester.
Sibley's home near Rochester, the Hiram Sibley Homestead, was listed o n t he National Register of Historic Places in 1985. His Rochester home i s in cluded in the East Avenue Historic District.[1]

Biography (from Wikipedia - contains various sources. )
Francis Nurse of Salem, born England, about 1618; (he deposed November 2 6 , 1666, that he was forty-five years old), married Aug. 24, 1644, Rebec ca , daughter of William and Jane (Blessing) Towne of Yarmouth England. R ebe cca was baptized Feb. 16, 1621 and hanged during the Salem Witch Hyst eria , July 19, 1692.
Francis was first of Salem in about 1638. His trade was tray-maker, mak e r of wooden trays, plates and kitchen items, as pewter was a scarce com mo dity. His judgment was much relied on by his neighbors and he is menti one d more frequently as umpire to settle disputes or arbitrator to adjus t co nflicting claims. He often served on committees to determine boundar ies o r estimate valuations, or on local juries to lay out highways and a sses s damages.
In 1678, he purchased a large farm of 300 acres in Salem from James All e n of Boston on favorable rental terms in 1678. He then conveyed the lar ge r half of the farm to his children, reserving the homestead and a conv eni ent amount of land in his own possession. This arrangement with his d esce ndants helped pay for the large acreage. His sons and sons-in-law ma intai ned the roadway throughout their parcels.
He was known as a farmer and mechanic on a small scale, without any pecu n iary means to get possession of such a large property and spread out h i s family to such an extent, as was inexplicable and not relished perha p s by some of his neighbors. This caused animosity towards the Nurse fam il y.
Here Francis and Rebecca were living in truly patriarchal style, occupyi n g the mansion of Townsend Bishop when the witchcraft delusion occurred . D uring this time, they and their children were all clustered within th e li mits of the three hundred acre farm.

"On account of the witchcraft delusion in Salem, [Francis] and his wif e b ecame historical characters. The name of Rebecca Nurse (or Nourse) i s per haps the best known of all of its unfortunate victims.
Francis Nourse was an early settler in Salem, and was a proprietor of t h e town 1647. He lived for forty years near Sperry's, on North River Str ee t, between the main village and the ferry to Beverly. He was a woodwor ker , called a tray-maker. In those days, wooden trays and dishes were th e ru le; there was little pewter, less silver and china, and the plates , tray s and trenchers of wood were the ordinary dishes.
He was a skilled workman, and a respectable man of great stability and s t rength of character. He was called frequently as umpire and arbitrato r i n cases of dispute over land boundaries. He served on local committee s t o lay out grants and highways, and on juries. He bought the Bishop fa rm o f some three hundred acres at Salem Village, April 29, 1678, and set tle d there. His sons all built their homes and lived on it, and were me n o f influence in town and church; were prosperous, and it is believed t ha t their success in acquiring a large estate, paying for it and prosper ing , was the cause of the charges against wife and mother, Rebecca Nours e.
The story of her trial is well known. She was arrested and protested h e r innocence on the charge of witchcraft. With steadfast dignity and unw av ering patience she bore the ordeal of her trial. Thirty-nine of her fr ien ds among the highest and most respectable in the town, signed a state men t testifying to her blameless character and faithfulness to the churc h. T hese names have been inscribed on a tablet on the memorial recentl y erect ed over her grave in Danvers.
They jury found her not guilty, but the court reversed the verdict and c o ndemned her to death. She was hanged on Witch Hill, and buried in the l it tle cemetery at Danvers.
Francis Nourse married [Rebecca] on August 24, 1644...She and her husba n d were members of the First Church of Salem, and he was a deacon."

Consider operated a farm and small store, presumably in Lyme, Connecticu t . In 1760, Consider moved to the village of Center Hill on the West Mou nt ain in Hartland, Connecticut and bought a farm that straddled the lin e be tween the towns of Barkhamsted and Hartland. He was supposed to b e a writ er of prose and poetry, though none of his compositions seem t o have surv ived. (Ella Wright book.) Until after the birth of his firs t children, Co nsider TIFFANY lived in Lyme, Connecticut. He was a farme r and also carri ed on a small business as a storekeeper. At Hartland, wh ere his other chi ldren were born, he was engaged in the same business, b ut on a much large r scale. Many interesting documents of his have been p reserved. He wa s a vigorous man, transacting a great deal of business an d was always car eful to enforce his rights. He was a member of the Churc h of England an d had little patience with the dissenting sects. He was a t one time a sch oolmaster, and when he entered upon this work, it is sai d, it was the fir st time he had ever been in school; but he was a good t eacher, so traditi on states, and he was a close student. During the Revo lutionary War, he w as not alone loyal to the English church but loyal t o the English crown . He was something of an astronomer, and is said to h ave calculated an al manac, but no copy of it has been found. He was a wr iter of prose and poe try. He kept diaries, in which he recorded his dail y adventures, one of w hich covers the period of one of the French and In dian wars, in 1756. Whi le this diary is in many places illegible, enoug h has been deciphered t o make it of interest. It begins on July 28, whe n the company marched fro m Lyme, where it was recruited, to Wallingford , Coon., a distance of thir ty-six miles. Here the company lodged at Mr . CUTHBERT's.

BIOGRAPHY OF ANDREW ALLAN WATSON
Contributed By Margebecraft · 9 February 2016
Andrew Allan Watson was born 22 December 1862 in Provo, Uta h , Utah Territory to Andrew and Jean Allan Watson. He was baptized int o t he Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on 4 September 1870 a t th e age of seven.
His father, Andrew Watson was born in Kettlebridge,Fifeshir e , Scotland on 13 October 1832 to James and Janet Rumgay Watson. He joi ne d the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on 5 December 1852 a t t he age of 20. He wanted to come west with the gathering of the saint s .
On Thursday 1 May 1856 the Ship “Thornton”(Collins Captain ) r eceived the saints, 761 in number, on board in the Bramley Moore Dock , Li verpool, and on the following Saturday. President F. D. Richards , accom panied by the Government Inspector and Doctor, came on board an d the sain ts underwent the usual inspection, and were all pronounced b y those offic ers to be in good health. President Richards appointed J. G. Willie, cap tain of the Company and elders Millen Atwood, Moses Clough [Cluff], and [J ohan August] Ahmanson, counsellors; and afterwards, i n a few appropriat e remarks, exhorts the people to strict obedience on t he passage, as othe rwise they could not expect and would not have a pros perous voyage. Presi dent Richards then blessed them in the name of the L ord, and by the autho rity of the Holy Priesthood. Captain Willie then ma de the usual appointme nts for the promotion of cleanliness and good orde r.
Andrew Watson traveled by himself at the age of 24. This i s f rom his journal: “We travelled from New York by railway and steam bo at a cross Lakes and up the Rivers to Iowa, where we pitched our tents, m ade o ur hand carts previous to starting for Salt Lake City, the date i n starti ng from there I don't remember. We finally came to Council Bluff s, here w e stopped to recruit and repair our carts and lay in provision s previou s to crossing to the Great Plains as it was then termed.
On the 15th of July we started from the Iowa camping groun d , for old Winter Quarters, now known as Florence, and pursued our journ e y as far as till the 20th. when Adelaide R. Baker, of the Portsmouth br an ch of the Southampton conference, with her two children, Ann and Sabin a B ird of the Eaton Bray branch of the Bedfordshire conference, and Harr ie t Smith, of the Bristol branch of the south Conference left us for th e le eks and onions. I would here mention an act of kindness performed b y a ge ntleman Mr. Charles Good, of Fort Desmoines. He presented me wit h fiftee n pairs of childrens boots, which I readily accepted, as he seem ed to b e influenced by a sincere desire to do good.
After stopping at Council Bluffs a short time we started f o r the Plains. They were with the James G. Willie Handcart Company. "17 "l bs. of luggage to the person was allowed and one man to the handcart w it h a wife or a girl or two to help push. We started with one hundred po und s of flour on each cart to lighten what few teams we had with us to c arr y the sick and infirm. It was considered necessary to make a stil l furt her reduction in the ration of flour, and accordingly, i t was fix ed at 10½ oz. for men, 9 oz for women, 6 oz for children, an d 3 oz for in fants.
This turned out to be a very salutary arrangement, as it ju s t enabled us to eke out our provisions until the very day that we recei ve d material aid from the Valley, which arrived,(when the little ones we r e crying for bread,) on the 20th of Oct., in the shape of 14 wagons lad e n with flour, onions and clothing. The last bit of breadstuffs, (whic h co nstituted all the provisions we then had,) was served out two night s prev iously. We all felt rejoiced at our timely deliverance, and attrib uted i t entirely to the hand of God which had been over us during the wh ole o f our journey.
I feel to conclude by saying, that on the whole, the Saint s b ore the heavy trials of the journey with a becoming and praiseworth y fort itude. I may add too, that in consequence of their having to cros s the No rth Fork of the Platte, and the Sweetwater several times, thru t he cold w ater, and to sleep on the snow, each person having only sevente en pound s of luggage including bedding, and thru other privations necess arily inc ident to the journey at so late a period of the season, many o f the age d and infirm failed in strength and died.
The diahrea [diarrhea] took a firm hold. – our wagons we r e crowded with the sick, which broke down our teams; and thus we ofte n we re obliged to refuse the admission of many who were really worthy t o ride . In crossing the Rocky Ridge, we had to encounter a heavy snow st orm, ac companied by a strong north wind. It was the most disastrous da y on the w hole trip, 15 dying from fatigue and exposure to the cold. W e had on thi s day as on subsequent days, to clear away the snow, in orde r to make pla ces for pitching our tents. Notwithstanding the disadvantag es of our posi tion in crossing the Rocky Ridge, we traveled 16 miles o n that day with o ur hand–carts.
The total number of deaths in this company, from Liverpool, was 77, besi d es one child belonging to Capt. Silers wagon.
Had it not been for the prompt action of President Brigham Y o ung and the Blessings of the Lord in sending teams with provisions to m ee t us, we would have perished on the plains and in the mountains. Histo r y will never fully reveal the sufferings of those belated handcart comp an ies, but I have ever felt thankful that I got here. Finally after muc h to il and suffering and many deaths, we arrived in Salt Lake City on th e 9t h of November 1856, A. D.”
His father, Andrew married his mother Jean Allan on 16 Octob e r 1860 in Provo, Utah,Utah Territory. Jean was born 29 August 1830 i n Ca rnoustie, Angus, Scotland to George and Margaret Mathewson Allan.

The two little baby girls were adopted into separate fam ilies in t he southern part of Utah. Mary Jane called herself Jennie an d was adopte d by a Mormon convert from Scotland, Andrew Watson. They we re raised wit h the children of Andrew and Jean.
Andrew Allan married Annie Shand in the Logan Temple,Logan , C ache, Utah Territory on 11 April 1888 at the age of 25. Annie was bo rn 1 8 August 1867 in Manti Sanpete, Utah Territory to David and Bridge t Mor n Hoggan Shand. She was baptized on 10 March 1878 at the age of te n. Sh e was 20 when they married.
Andrew and Annie had two children, both boys born in Provo , U tah, Utah Territory. David Allan was born 20 March 1889 and Andrew S han d was born 3 August 1890.

BIOGRAPHY OF EMMA MELISSA OLIVER WHIPPLE
Emma Melissa Oliver was born 21 September 1867 in Payson, Ut a h, Utah Territory to William Temple and Nancy Francis Lovern Oliver. S h e was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saint s o n 5 July 1883 at the age of fifteen.
Her father came to the Utah Territory in 1850 with the Jam e s Pace Company. His parents Harrison, age 50, and Hannah Martin Olive r , age 38 came with their family of five children. William Temple was 1 7 ; Edward McClelland was 24; Lamira Jane was 13; Orra was 12; and Emil y Fr ances was 7.
They departed on 11 June 1850 with 255 individuals and 100 w a gons in the company which began its journey from the outfitting post a t K anesville, Iowa (present day Council Bluffs). They made it to Chimne y Ro ck by 25 July 1850.
On 24 August they camped at Devil’s Gate and crossed the Swe e twater the next day. They camped opposite Fort Bridger on 12 September . Very interesting was the fact that they traveled alongside a train wh il e they went through Echo Canyon. They made it into the Salt Lake vall e y 20 to 23 September 1850.
Her mother came to Utah with an Unknown Company in 1852. H e r father was 36;her mother was 36; Benjamin Ellsworth was 14; Nancy Fra nc is was 12; John Norris was 9; Wesley Norton was 4; Lucinda Adalade wa s 2 ; and Josiah was an infant.
Her parents were married on 29 March 1856 on Ogden, Weber, U t ah Territory. Her father was 22 and her mother was 16. They receive d th eir endowment o 11 September 1857 in the Endowment House in Salt Lak e Cit y, Salt Lake, Utah Territory. Emma Melissa was the eighth child bo rn t o a family of fourteen, ten girls and four boys.
Soon after her birth, her parents moved to Birch Creek,n e ar Fairview, Sanpete County, Utah. Here she spent her childhood days un ti l she was about thirteen when her parents decided to move to Arizona.
They left Utah 27 October 1880. Grandfather's purpose ingoi n g to Arizona was to see if the climate might help his asthma with whic h h e was badly afflicted. They drove with them about 300 head of cattl e whic h made the trip much slower. They traveled the southern route by K anab, U tah and over the Buckskin Mountains, now known as the Kiabab Fore st, thro ugh the House Rock Valley and on to Lee's Ferry.
They first lived in Brigham City on the Little Colorado Rive r , arriving there on 16 January 1881. They stayed there a month and the n m oved to Holbrook. A railroad was being built in Holbrook so they wer e ab le to find a job and stayed there until June. In June they moved so uth s ixty miles to a little town where Fools Hollow is now.
She met Willard at a dance. She was acquainted with his you n ger brother,Brig. She had a silk handkerchief of his. The night of t h e dance, she walked into the room and seeing a young man standing wit h hi s back to her, thinking it was Brig Whipple, she walked up behind hi m an d rolled up the handkerchief and hit him in the back and said,"Brig , woul d you like to have your handkerchief?" As he turned around she dis covere d that she had thrown the handkerchief to the wrong man. Thus bega n thei r acquaintance and friendship that developed into love and marriag e.
Their first date was a dance held at the Scott ranch abo u t seven miles up the river. It was Christmas and cold and muddy. Thre e ot her couples accompanied them to the dance. They went in a double be d wago n with four spring seats on it. The wagon was drawn by four horses . The y courted for about two years before they were married.
Emma wore a dress of navy blue brocade, designed with a tig h t basque with puckers up the front. The full skirt was also puckered u p t he front panel. Willard's sister, Ernaline, was married the same nigh t t o Moroni Adair. Both of their mothers were present and Mary Adams , a sist er of Moroni. As wedding presents, Willard and Emma received fro m his mot her a hen and eight chickens, and from her mother a pillow.
Emma Melissa married Willard Whipple on 23 September 188 4 i n Adair, Navajo, Arizona Territory at the age of 17. Willard was bor n 1 6 March 1858 in Provo, Utah, Utah Territory to Edson and Harriet Yeag er W hipple. He was baptized into the Church on 7 August 1884 at the ag e of 2 6. He was 26 years old when they married.
His father came with the Brigham Young Company in 1847. H e t hen returned and brought his family out with the Wilford Woodruff Com pany . He was 45 years old, his wife, Mary Ann was 26, and they had on e daugh ter, Mary age 1. They departed 16 June 1850 with 172 individual s and 4 4 wagons in the company which began its journey from the outfitti ng pos t at Kanesville, Iowa (present day Council Bluffs).
In early 1850, Church leaders advised emigrants that pione e r companies would travel on anew route on the south side of the Platt e Ri ver. By taking this new route they avoided some river crossings on t he no rth side that had proved dangerous because of high water in the pre viou s year. They also expected to receive additional military protectio n o n a new army supply road. This was a factor in their decision becaus e the y wanted to avoid conflict with the Plains Indians,who had been agi tate d during the 1849 California gold rush. The 200-mile long army roa d conne cted "Old Fort Kearny," located 50 miles below Kanesville on th e Missour i River, to "New Fort Kearny" following the south side of the P latte Rive r to the west.
The following is from the summary of the Company: “The compa n y was somewhat spread out with the 1st and 2nd Fifties led by Leonard H ar dy and Edson Whipple. Elder Woodruff, traveling with the 1st Fifty, cr oss ed Salt Creek on June 28. After leaving Salt Creek they turned wes t o n a cutoff trail (near present-day Swedesburg, Nebraska). All of th e comp anies except Andrus used this cutoff(which passed near present-da y Davi d City and Bellwood, Nebraska). This cutoff trail, which bypasse d the Cot tonwood/Wahoo Creek drainage, saved them 12 miles.On this short cut route , they reached the Platte about 20 miles west of the regular ro ute take n earlier by Andrus. During this early leg of the journey, a num ber of pe ople died from cholera. The two divisions reunited on July 7 o n the Plat te.
They followed the south bank of the Platte River a hundred m i les west past Grand Island, where they joined with the Oregon Trail com in g north from Missouri. At this juncture they continued 15 more miles t o " New Fort Kearny", which they reached on July 15,although army reserve d gr azing rights and companies weren't permitted to camp within a mile o f th e fort. On this day they were visited by a tremendous thunderstorm , and l ightning killed three oxen and one member of the company.They con tinued u p the south side and miraculously escaped any serious accident o r wagon b reakage during an exciting wagon stampede on July 30. The nex t daythey re ached the Upper Crossing of the South Platte (located abou t three miles w est of present-day Brule, Nebraska).
From Ash Hollow they traveled up the Platte River, arrivin g a t Fort Laramie on August 18. Leaving there, they skirted the Black Hi ll s by taking the river road. They were delayed some days looking for lo s t cattle but reached the Upper Crossing (at present-day Casper,Wyoming ) o n September 3. Along much of the road west from Fort Laramie until th ey r eached the Sweetwater, they found little grass, which caused their c attl e to wander and slowed their pace.
They reached Devil's Gate on September 8. On September 14 th e y bypassed the established road over the Rocky Ridges by veering to th e n orth through a draw. This variant road, scouted out by J.A. Stratto n an d three other men who were sent out by Brigham Young to locate bette r rou tes and help guide the companies to the Salt Lake Valley, it report edly h ad an abundance of feed and water. Unfortunately, Elder Woodruff f ound n o feed or water and said that companies should not take that road.
They rejoined the established road just east of Rock Creek . O ne day west of South Pass they met with a war party of 500 Snake Indi ans , but were able to avoid conflict. They crossed the Green River on Se ptem ber 23 and reached Fort Bridger on September 27. Some in the 1st Fif ty be gan murmuring, Elder Woodruff advised that division to move on ahea d of t hem to the valley. Woodruff's Fifty found the road very rough betw een Bi g and Little Mountain but reached Salt Lake on October 14. Death s in th e company numbered at least 17, many from cholera.”
His family settled in Provo, Utah, Utah Territory. Willard w a s the fifth child o eleven, five girls and six boys, born to Edson an d Ha rriet Yeager Whipple. Edson had six wives. Harriet and Mary Ann we re si sters and were married to him on the same day on 4 November 1850 i n Sal t Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah Territory.
Willard went to school at the Brigham Young Academy for a wh i le with Karl G. Maeser as a teacher. In 1880 he left and when to Provo . He found that his parents had sold their home and gone to Arizona. H e worked for a while in Provo and then went to Arizona in March of 18 82.
Emma and Willard first lived in a two room lumber home tha t h e had built during the summer. They bought a new stove, a bedstead a nd s ix chairs, a wash tub, cooking utensils and dishes, and a small supp ly o f provisions, and paid cash for all of it. They lived there for abo u t a year and a half. Emma and Willard had fourteen children, six girl s a nd eight boys. Joseph was born 29 August 1885 and died the same day.

John married Sabra Ellen Wilcox on 3 October 1883 in Salt La k e City, Salt Lake, Utah Territory at the age of 21. They were later se al ed in the Manti Temple on 18 November 1891 in Manti Sanpete, Utah Terr ito ry.
Sabra Ellen Wilcox was born 6 October 1865 in Mount Pleasan t , Sanpete, Utah Territory to John Henry Owen and Mary Young Wilcox. Sa bra Ellen was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day S ain ts in 1877 at the age of 12. She was 17 when she married John Lover n Oli ver.
Her father John Henry Owen Wilcox was born in Benton, Sa l ine, Arkansas on 14 February 1824. They were with the Saints in Jacks o n County,Missouri in November 1833. They were driven out of Jackson Co un ty in 1836 and settled in Clay County. They were again driven out an d se ttled in Ray County in 1837. When the Saints were driven out of Mis souri , they moved to Quincy,Illinois and stayed there until the spring o f 1838 . Joseph Smith baptized John Henry Owen in the spring of 1839 whe n he wa s 14 years old.
He was endowed in the Nauvoo Temple on 3 February 1846 at t h e age of 21. When the Saints were expelled from Nauvoo,they eventuall y ca me west with the Saints. His mother and John came with the Edward Hu nter- Jacob Foutz Company. She was 66 and he was 23. They departed on 1 9 Jun e 1847 with 155 individuals and 59 wagons which began its journey f rom th e outfitting post on the Elkhorn River about 27 miles west of Wint er Quar ters,Nebraska.
From the journal of Wilmer Bronson who was in the company: “ W hen the wagons were strung out in traveling order, formed as we were i n t wo lines abreast, they extended almost as far as the eye could see; w hil e the face of nature clothed with all its majestic beauty and grandeu r, w ould have furnished a scene worthy of the artist's pencil and woul d hav e inspired a feeling of sacred devotion in those who beheld it.
A military organization was effected in order to protect ours e lves against the attacks of hostile bands of Indians who roamed about t h e country in great numbers. We might with some degree of propriety be r eg arded as intruders. Consequently,a thorough system was entered into b y wh ich a strong guard was posted around our camp every night. In this w ay w e had strong hopes of avoiding trouble with our red neighbors.
Our progress was slow in consequence of the company being s o l arge. The dust which would naturally arise from such a vast number o f ani mals and wagons traveling as we were in a somewhat sandy country wa s ver y dense and suffocating.
A few days travel took us beyond the reach of wood for fuel . S o we were compelled to resort to the necessity of burning buffalo chi ps i n order to cook our food. After a somewhat wearisome journey of thi rty d ays duration, we arrived at a place called Fort Laramie, the only s igns o f civilization we had seen since leaving Winter Quarters. This wa s a ver y poor speciman, for the entire place consisted of five or six lo g cabin s inhabited by some Frenchmen who had married squaws for wives an d were k eeping a kind of Trading Post to accommodate the Indians.
In the month of August, 1847. We were overtaken in a tremendo u s snow storm of such uncommon severity as to chill some of our stock t o d eath. The condition of the weather necessitated a hasty exit from ou r unc omfortable situation. A reaction took place in our feelings as w e emerge d from the mouth of Emigration Canyon into a parched barren deso late look ing valley whose surface was covered with large crickets whos e unsatin g appetite threatened the entire destruction of every green veg etable wit h their reach.
At a distance of two and a half miles was presented to our vi e w the wagons and tents of the Pioneer company who had located themselv e s on a little stream which afterwards was called City Creek.”
John Henry married Mary Young on 14 March 1848 in Great Sal t L ake, Deseret at the age of 24. They were later sealed in the Endowme nt H ouse on 17 June 1856 in Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah Territory. The y had eleven children, seven girls and four boys, Sabra Ellen bein g the e ighth child.
Mary was born on 6 June 1831 in Whibey, Upper Canada to J a mes and Elizabeth Seeley Young. She was in the same company as John He nr y. She was baptized on 1 January 1847 at the age of 15. She was 16 y ear s old when they married.
Their family drew a lot in the Sugarhouse area. They clear e d the land,plowed and planted. They lived in a brush “shanty”. The cr ic kets devoured the new wheat. They also were sent by Brigham Young t o Man ti, Sanpete, Mt. Pleasant, Pleasant Grove, North Ogden, and back t o Pleas ant Grove. After a couple of years they were sent back to Mt. Pl easant,S anpete, Utah Territory.
In 1880 some of William Oliver’s neighbors were going to Ariz o na and he decided to go also. He thought the change in climate might h el p the asthma from which he was suffering. They, in company with two ot he r families, started for Arizona traveling by team and wagon and drivin g a bout 300 head of cattle.They spent the winter of 1880-81 in Holbrook , Ari zona, working on the railroad that was being constructed there. Du ring t heir stay in Holbrook they lived in a dugout in the bank of the ri ver. Th ey moved to Adair in June 1881.

Cynthia was baptized into th e Chu rch of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on 4 March 1856 by Willia m Cresf ield Moody.
A year after the Damrons had joined the Church the prejudice a n d hatred against Mormons was great so the family simply left their hom e a nd land in Texas. Her grandmother Sarah Elizabeth came to the Utah Te rrit ory with the Homer Duncan Company in 1857. Sarah Elizabeth was 8; Wi llia m Wallace was 24; Sarah Matilda 21; Cynthia was 19;and Joseph Warre n wa s 16. Sarah and Cynthia were known as “Betsey” “and Tillie” on the t rek . Her brother William Alfred said: “Cynthia and her sister along wit h Mar y Louisa Whitmore rode all the way from Taylor, Texas to Utah on ho rsebac k, along with the wagon train and cattle herd. Following an immigr ant wag on train to Utah, the three girls ‘passed and repassed Johnston' s Army’ a long the way. The soldiers were excited to see three pretty you ng girls o n the trail.”
Records of the company show that Cynthia was married to Willia m C resfield, Sarah Matilda Damron married John Monroe Moody, the widowe d Sar ah Amelia Damron Coldiron married Israel Allphin, and William Walla ce Dam ron later married Martha Jane Allphin who was 13 on the Trek. Ther e wer e 42 individuals in the Homer Duncan Company of 1857. It was mo re lik e a cattle drive that included families from Elliscounty: the Damr ons & C oldirons (who were 10 of that number), the Whitmores (7 members) , some fa milies from farther south in Texas, and missionaries returnin g to Utah: E lders Duncan, William Moody &John Moody. A few joined them f rom Missouri . They brought with them thirteen hundred head of cattle.
They trailed their herd northward up the Old Shawnee Trail acro s s the Red River past Preston. Reaching Fort Gibson in Indian territor y i n present-day Oklahoma, they trailed northeastward on the Old Militar y Ro ad to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas Territory. They were on the south sid e o f the Platte River on the Oregon Trail. Their animals were still in g oo d shape and the people were all well in spite of having to contend wit h m yriads of grasshoppers that reportedly infested the trail all the wa y fro m the Missouri River to Fort Bridger. Before reaching the last cros sing o f the Platte River(at present-day Casper), the company divided.
On August 17, one group, under the leadership of John and Willi a m Moody,was near Willow Springs and heading for the Sweetwater. Duncan, tr ailing behind with the rest of the company and the herd, was seen by a n e astbound missionary several miles below the Upper Crossing of the Pla tte . The distance between the two divisions lengthened as they neared Ut ah . Moody's contingent reached Salt Lake City on September 14. Duncan ar riv ed on 20 September 20 1857 together with a few wagons from a St. Loui s tr ain. There were no reported deaths.

Laura was one year old.
Laura married Abraham Alonzo Kimball on 11 October 1883 in the E n dowment House in Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah Territory. They were b ot h 37 years old. Abe as he was called was born on 6 April 1846 in Nauvo o,H ancock, Illinois to Heber Chase and Clarissa Cutler Kimball. His earl y li fe was a sad story. After the saints were expelled from Nauvoo, Hanc ock , Illinois, the family moved to Winter Quarters,Nebraska. Abe was abo u t a year old and his brother Isaac was just seven months younger. Hebe r C . Kimball was one of the twelve apostles and was to go with the vangu ar d group so he left his two wives, Clarissa and her sister Emily at Win te r Quarters.

About two years later both daughters died an d h e was left with the boys and Phelinda Rawlance who’s mother had als o died . She was the widow of Moses Cutler. His grandfather,Alpheus Cutle r denou nced polygamy, the law of tithing, and taught his followers tha t Brigha m Young was an imposter and that he Alpheus Cutler was the tru e prophet!
When he was about nine years of age, his grandfather made arrang e ments for his Uncle Thaddeus to take over the care of the boys. They we r e ill-treated and called them “bastards” of Heber or Brigham! They thre at ened to send them out to the “Mormons” if they cause any trouble. In t h e spring of 1862 he was sent to Hamburg to get a doctor and then remai n w ith his uncle Edwin Cutler.
That is when he decided to go to California. He had to go back h o me and tell his grandparents and then pack his clothes. He left his bro th er behind and went with his uncle who was elated to think he had a ser van t to look after him as they journeyed to California. When they got t o th e Platte River, his aunt and uncle got into a disagreement and the y final ly separated. His aunt let him know that he was going to be dropp ed off i n Utah to his father.
They ran into a man by the name of James Spicer who mentioned h o w he had been mistreated by his uncle. He went with Spicer and they go t t o the Fort Hall Road and were told that the Indians had robbed severa l tr ains and killed many of those going to California, so they turned an d wen t to Utah!
He ended up visiting with his father Heber. Making acquaintanc e s with the relatives made a favorable impression on him so he agreed t o s ee his father. He ended up staying with the for the winter, hauling w oo d and attending school. He desired Abe to return to the states for hi s br other Isaac.

His grandf athe r let the boys know that he had intended they should be his means o f supp ort while he was alive. He was glad he found his real father and a lso le t him know that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God and that Brigha m Youn g was his legal successor. He told the two boys to return to Uta h Territo ry and be with their father and remain steadfast to “Mormonism” .

Sh e died on this journey, at Norrisburg, Iowa. They too k a wagon box to ma ke her coffin and buried her beside the Platt River . They made fires ove r the grave and cooked their food so the Indians c ould not tell that it w as a grave, as they would dig it up and destroy t he body.
This company was detained on their journey as they overtook a handcar t c ompany and gave them assistance all the way. When this company, or f amil y, reached Utah they made their home at Ogden. Benjamin Franklin, A dell’ s father, took up the land where the Union Pacific Depot is locate d at th e present time. He was the first shoemaker in Ogden. The famil y soon ma de a comfortable home for themselves. It was an adobe house wi th two o r three rooms. Her father and uncle were violinists, and ofte n the famil y enjoyed themselves dancing and singing to their music. Th e family live d a number of years in Ogden and during that time two mor e children wer e born, Benjamin Franklin Junior and Arilla. I remember m y mother tellin g me of being at the depot when the first train came int o Ogden. Now whe n the engine came puffing and roaring in, the people ra n for their lives , thinking it was coming over them. Her father Benjami n Franklin Brown d ied of Pneumonia in December 1868; so, the family didn ’t have the compani onship of a father very long.
At that time, Uncle John Leavitt’s wife Linda died and left three child r en. This family lived in Farmington, so Mother Brown decided to mov e t o Farmington with four children and mother this family as well as he r own . This brother and sister with their families lived in a rock hous e wit h several rooms, which was located just one block east of the Uta h Centra l Depot. This uncle worked with the railroad company and so wa s able t o take care of the two families. The children were near the sam e age an d were companions for each other and they grew to be just like b rothers a nd sisters and spent many happy days together. One, Ida Leavit t (Hatch ) and mother (Adell) were especially chummy and spent their tim e with sew ing and various kinds of needlework and helping with the young er children .
Adell remembered as a young girl going to the Shady Nooks, which is n o w Lagoon, with the young people on their picnics. She often talked o f th e beautiful lake and surroundings. There she spent the happiest day s a s a young girl. Her mother continued to keep house for her brother i n Fa rmington and care for the children besides doing her part in carryin g o n the church work until he married.
About this time, in 1870, Lyman Leavitt, her mother’s brother, and Phil a nder Brown, her uncle, were called to the Muddy Mission in southern Ut a h and Nevada. Her mother’s health not being very good, President Brigh a m Young called her on this mission also, thinking the warm climate, wi t h its moderate winters would improve her health. She still had at thi s t ime her four children. Adell was about 14 years old when her mothe r wen t on this mission. They encountered many hardships. It was so ho t tha t the children, on their way to school, would have to put their sun bonnet s down on the hot sand to cool their feet, then run a little farth er an d put their bonnets down again. They had sheds by their dugouts an d slep t on top of them to keep away from the snakes. About all they ha d to ea t was bread and molasses and they stayed there until they almos t starved . It was almost too much for the widow and her children. Thes e familie s stayed pretty close together and helped each other. It was w hile her m other was on this mission that Adell met Abraham Alonzo Kimbal l, son of H eber Chase Kimball and Clarissa Cutler, he being also called , with his wi fe, Mary Eliza Hatton and from this mission. They wended t heir way bac k settling in Millard County. Adell's mother and children s ettled in Fil lmore and Abrahan moved his family to Kanosh.
Abraham A. Kimball took Adell Brown as his second wife about the firs t w eek in January of 1876. She was then about twenty years old. At th e tim e of her marriage, she taught a Sunday School class; the girls wer e heart broken when she left. One of her class members, a Mrs. John King , says , “She was handsome, well built and straight as a die, and reall y put ove r her work.” They made the trip to Salt Lake City to the Endow ment Hous e by team and wagon. While there, they stayed at the home of h er brother , Charley Brown. They were living in the half-block south o f the Salt La ke Theater. The house belonged to Joseph A. Young. Charle y’s with, Paul ine, was confined to her bed with her first baby boy. Ade ll made her hom e with her mother in Fillmore for the first six years o f her married life . There her first child, Pearl, was born December 6 , 1876.
The year after they were married, Abraham, her husband, was calle d o n a mission to England where he only remained for just a year. The r easo n for him being released before he had filled his mission was that i t wa s reported he was in poor health. This was a mistake as he was enjo yin g the best of health and was prepared to stay until his mission was c ompl eted. One of his brothers in Salt Lake had promised to take care o f hi s families while he was away. Adell and her baby daughter were doin g nic ely living with her mother and part of the time with her brother, C harle y in Salt Lake – the baby, a favorite in the family, being two year s old.
Adell’s husband had returned from his mission by the last of November 1 8 78. On December 9 of that year, he left for Salt Lake to bring his wi f e and baby home. These trips had to be made by team. It must have be e n a long cold trip. They stopped one night on the way back with Mrs. G ro ver at Nephi her brother Charley’s mother-in-law. They arrived in Kan os h December 29. Her husband had been made Bishop of the Kanosh Ward De cem ber 5, 1878 and held that position for eleven years until his death.
Adell returned to Fillmore and continued living with her mother durin g w hich time her husband was preparing a home for her in Kanosh. He bou gh t a lot and house of Mort Warner - just one adobe room and built anoth e r adobe lean on the back. This was very comfortable at that time. A b ed room and living room combined and a kitchen. She was welcome in her m oth er’s home and was a favorite in the family where she had always recei ve d the best training in the way of life. Her husband had this to say o f M other Brown, “She was a widow woman but always did her part by thos e wh o stopped with her and was a mother to all who came her way. Beside s thi s, the greatest virtue of all, she was a true Latter-day Saint an d a frie nd to God and His cause and did not fail to teach her children t he same. ” If they go astray, she will not be found in the fault.
Since coming from Salt Lake to Fillmore two years ha e passed. Anoth e r baby girl has been added to the family – Flora, born October 31, 188 0 . Three months later, February 6, 1881, her husband moved her to her n e w home in Kanosh, a very small town of perhaps 75 families. Her home w a s on the main street and is still in the family. Her youngest daughte r , Laura Kimball Cummings, has owned it and lived there since the deat h o f her mother, Adell. The lot where the home stood had a good orchar d o n it – a variety of fruit. Most of the fruit was dried in those days . H er husband, Abraham, made a scaffold of nice new boards on which sh e woul d spread the fruit to dry, with as many more boards to cover the f ruit, i n case it rained.
Now Adell had to adjust herself to her new home. Her husband was a far m er, besides having other jobs such as road building, superintendin g o f a threshing machine, which took him away from home sometimes for mo nths . He was a kind and considerate husband. Adell was very resourcefu l an d did many things to help with the living expenses. She was a dress make r and very clever with the needle, doing many kinds of fancy work . She m ade her own quilts, as did all pioneer women. As a result of th is art o f sewing, she was fortunate enough to have the first sewing mach ine in th e town. This proved a great blessing to both of Abraham’s fami lies in ma king clothes, even pants for the boys. Uncle Henry Hatton, th e hired man , came to her to get his horse blankets sewed. She couldn’ t hurt his fee lings by showing her disapproval so she sewed the blankets .
The two families lived just through the fence from each other. There w e re eight children in the first family – Clara, Lois, Alonzo, Vilate, Ev el yn, Heber, Parley and Elvira. Six in Adell’s family – Pearl, Flora, B enj amin Franklin, Charles Albert, Laura, and Brigham Young. They all go t al ong nicely.
May 6, 1882, her first son Benjamin was born. The next year, May 4, 18 8 3, she moved to the farm one mile west of town. The house was built o f n ew lumber and was just off the old highway. The land is still owne d by h er son Frank. The reason for moving to the farm was for the purpo se of l ooking after the farm hands and making it more convenient for the m throug h the summer. While on the farm she was very lonely. It has be en said b y her neighbors that she would go about her work with her sunbo nnet pulle d down over her face while she would be crying. She lived the re two summ ers. Each wife took a turn living on the farm. At his time , two convert s of her husband came from England. Their name was Hopkins on. They live d on the farm for a number of years and Adell moved to tow n.
In those days pork was the staple meat used. Adell’s husband was a lov e r of pork. Every year he killed not less than six pigs. Adell’s porti o n for her family she helped to cure. She made sausage, headcheese an d pi ckled pigs feet. The hams, shoulders and side meat were nicely cure d an d kept in the cellar that opened from the door east of the kitchen . Th e lard was rendered and strained into large cans. All surplus scra ps an d bits were saved for soap making. Soap making became an art wit h Adell . She always cleaned her grease with lye to make it pure and whi le and t hen proceeded to make her soap. That was the only kind of soa p we ever h ad. It was real soap.
A little village of Pahvant Indians lived east of out town. Kanosh der i ved its name from the chief of this tribe. The Lamanite women did th e wa shing for the while people. Old Jane and Ducky Jane did the washin g in A dell’s home for years.
The furnishings in the home were very plain. The floors were bare exce p t the living room and she made her own rag carpets for here and used st ra w for the padding. Neither was there a bathtub so the big washtub wa s th e only resource. The children all remember on Saturday they were ba the d in the tub. On Sunday they were dressed in their clean aprons an d of f to Sunday school. As soon as they returned home, best dresses wer e cha nged to play dresses and they all played at home. The father sai d it wa s not the right thing for children to be chasing around the stree ts on Su nday afternoon.
It was agreed there were enough children in the two families to mak e a c rowd so they played together. All felt all right about it. Ther e were n o complaints. The children were trained to work as soon as the y were lar ge enough to take on small chores. Adell needed the help of h er childre n as well as hired help because she had a family of small chil dren. Alon zo, the eldest son of the first wife, lived with Adell to hel p with the c hores and he always said he loved her almost as much as hi s own mother.
About this time, two adobe bedrooms were added to the little house. Th i s was very much needed and appreciated. Now she could have a living ro o m where before this room had been a bedroom. She made her carpets an d co vered the big room.
January 7, 1884, another son was born, Charles Albert. This was her la s t summer on the farm. Now she boarded and lodged the mail driver who c ar ried the mail from Scipio to Kanosh one day and back the next day. Sh e a lso boarded the hired man, John Woolsey, who worked for them for year s . Her husband had always made a fairly good living and the children we r e well cared for and well dressed with the help of her mother. It wa s ab out 1885 when father’s health began to fail him. He was able to sup erint end the farm work and keep his obligations around the home. He wa s parti cular about the outside buildings and surroundings being kept int act. H e worked with his children and they were taught to work. His obl igation s as a Bishop took him away from home through the county. Someti mes he c ould do this and would do it if he was at all able. The years w ent one . Two more children were added to the family – Laura, a daughte r was bor n February 10, 1885 and a son, Brigham Young November 28, 1887 . The fath er died September 22, 1888 at the age of 42 years.
Adell was then a widow with her little family, the oldest a girl 12 yea r s of age. She had a husband only 13 years. She had her home, a littl e f arm and a few cows. The drought was so terrible that year very littl e ha d been grown on the farm. It was rented to George Day who continue d to f arm it for a number of years. He seemed to farm the land especial ly fo r the hay, as he was a dairyman. The mother continued on as she ha d bee n living, always kept her cows and three or four pigs. She milke d her ow n cows and fatted her pigs and every year for a number of year s sold th e calves to Anthony Paxton for $4.00 each to buy wheat for thei r bread . Uncle Henry Hatton helped some with the cutting of wood, plowi ng the l ots, etc. Her mother and her sister Arilla living at this tim e in Wood s Cross were a great help to Adell in raising the children. Sh e also boa rded and roomed the schoolteachers at various times. She real ized what w as before her – the mother of six children, the oldest now th irteen years . Being a dressmaker she could sew for her own children an d she also di d sewing for others. She made party dresses for the youn g girls with fan cy frills, ruffles and folds. Some were tight fittin g – basques they wer e called or bodices, with a dozen bone steels sewe d up all the seams on i nside, done by hand with a cat or blanket stitch . She never danced but l oved to go to the dances and look on at the dan cers and see the dresses . She was very quiet and reserved, stayed at ho me and took care of her f amily. She could make a cake for we children t o take to a party with on e egg, a scant cup of sugar and lard and it wa s really good.
She was lonely after she was left a widow. Her children would be awa y f rom home and she would be home worrying and she would go out lookin g fo r them on the street. Her work was hard for the washing now had t o be do ne on a washboard with a fire outside to heat the water. The clo thes wer e scrubbed and then boiled in the tub. Ella Paxton worked for A dell an d loved her very much for her patience. She tells of how they ha d to car ry the drinking water from across the street from the neighbor’ s well. T his was on the lot now occupied by the Taft Paxton home, but a t that tim e was the Prows’ home. Ella tells how Adell had a red cow an d how she en joyed milking the cows.
When Frank was about 16, he went to herd sheep to help keep the famil y a nd he made enough money to help build two lumber rooms on the north o f th e house as the adobe rooms were falling down. Pearl, the oldest gir l, ta ught school to help care for the family. Charles was old enough t o hel p with building the two new rooms and with other expenses.
After she was left alone, her leisure hours were usually spent with h e r sister-in-law, Ellen Leavitt, the mother of Ella Paxton. She would t ak e her little brood and spend an afternoon. Each night the children we r e washed before they were put to bed. Their feet were always cracked a n d sore from going barefoot, as shoes were not plentiful. She would wa s h them in oatmeal water to heal the soreness. She struggled along wit h h er little family until they were all grown. She had the post offic e fo r four or five years, which helped. A little lumber-room on the sou th si de of the house took care of it. The room still stands but has bee n move d to the back for a washhouse. The slot where the letters were pu t in i s still in the building. When the mail came in at night the lot w ould b e full of children. Adell’s children all grew up and found work s o the y could take care of themselves. Mother Adell would go to her neig hbor A lice Rappleye with a cup of coffee to grind in her coffee mill, th e bab y Brigham would tag along. She could always fix a meal for her fam ily wi thout going to the store as they had to eat what they had or raise d – chi ckens, eggs and butter, along with the fruit and garden.
Adell took seriously ill in the fall of 1904. She went to Loa to sta y w ith her mother and to be under the care of a faith doctor, Dr. Blackb urn . She went from there to the Manti Temple and was there a month, the n he r daughter Pearl and husband brought her home in a buggy. Her young est d aughter, Laura, who was 19, was with her in Manti and went to the t empl e with her each week. She passed away December 27, 1904, while he r famil y were all living.
LUCY ADELL BROWN KIMBALL
By
Pearl Kimball Black and Laura Kimball Cummings: daughters.
Lucy Adell Brown Kimball, daughter of Benjamin Franklin and Lucinda Lea v itt Brown, was born in Cambria, Michigan August 15, 1866. When Adell w a s nine years old, the family was converted t the Mormon Religion. Adel l’ s parents, together with an Uncle Philander Brown and family, were anx iou s to join the main body of the Church in Utah. Adell, having a hors e o f her very own, rode it nearly all the way across the plains. The ma tern al grandmother of Adell, Lucy Rowell, died at Norrisburg, Iowa, an d the m en took a wagon box and made a casket in which to bury her.
The company overtook a handcart Company and were delayed on their journ e y, as they stopped to help this struggling company. When they arrive d i n Utah they settled in Ogden, where Benjamin Franklin, Adell’s father , to ok up land, where the Union Pacific Depot was later located. He wa s th e first shoemaker in Ogden. He and his brother both played the viol in, t hus the family enjoyed many musical evenings together.
While Adell’s parents lived in Ogden, two more children were born, Benj a min Franklin Jr. and Arilla. Soon after the birth of these children, B en jamin Franklin Brown, Adell’s father, died of Pneumonia, in 1868. Abo u t the same time the wife of John Leavitt, brother of Adell’s mother di e d leaving three children. Adell's mother Lucinda took her four childr e n with her and moved to Farmington to live with her brother and be a mo th er to his children. The two families got along beautifully.
In 1870, Brigham Young called Lyman Leavitt, a brother of Adell's mothe r , and Philander Brown, a brother of Adell's father, on missions to hel p c olonize Southern Utah and Nevada. Thinking it would help Adell's mot her , who suffered from colds and inclement weather, Brigham Young also c alle d Adell’s mother to take her family and go on this mission. They su ffere d many privations, and mostly lived on bread and molasses. It wa s whil e on this mission that Adell met Abraham Alonzo Kimball and his wi fe Mar y Eliza Hatton Kimball with baby Clara. After four years on thi s missio n they were released and on their way back settled in Millard Co unty. Ad ell’s family in Fillmore, Abraham A. Kimball, his wife and bab y settled i n Kanosh.
When Adell was nearly nineteen years old, she married Abraham Kimbal l a s his second wife, in the Endowment House in Salt Lake City .
Adell made her home with her mother in Fillmore for the first six yea r s of her married life. There on December 6, 1876, her first child Pea r l was born. One year after her marriage, her husband, Abraham Kimbal l wa s called on a mission to England.
Abraham returned from his mission and on Dec. 5, 1878 he was made Bish o p of the Kanosh Ward, and held that position until his death, eleven ye ar s later. Adell made her home with her mother until Abraham built a ho m e for her in Kanosh. Flora, Adell's second child was born October 21 , 18 80, in Fillmore. Three months later February 6, 1881, Abraham move d Adel l and her two children to their home in Kanosh. Her husband wa s a farmer , who also had other jobs such as road building, which took hi m away fro m home, sometimes for months.
Adell was an excellent seamstress and did fancy needlework as well; som e times Adell did extra sewing to help support the family. The two famil ie s lived just through the fence from each other, his first wife Mary El iz a Hatton Kimball had eight children: Clara, Lois, Alonzo, Vilate, Eve lyn , Heber, Parley, and Elvira; the second wife, Adell, had six children : P earl, Flora, Benjamin Franklin, Charles Albert, Laura and Bingham Yo ung . The children played together and seldom went roaming the streets a nd a s there was plenty of fun at home. They were all taught to work an d do c hores. Certainly there was plenty to do as the Kimball’s raised t heir ow n living, as did every one: beef, pork, lamb, chickens, turkeys , vegetab les of many varieties, fruit of every kind and plenty of berrie s.
Abraham’s health began to fail although he was a fairly young man; he h a d to hire a man to work on his farm. He gradually got weaker and on Se pt ember 22, 1888, Abraham Kimball passed away at the age of 46.
Adell was then a widow, after being married 13 years; she was left wi t h six children, the oldest 12 years old. She had a farm, a small hom e , a few cows and other animals. She knew life would not be easy witho u t Abraham to run the farm and keep everything in good condition. She m il ked her own cows, fattened the pigs for sale, sold the calves to get c lot hes for the children, did extra fancy dress making to earn more mone y wit h which to buy shoes and clothes for her six children. As the chil dren g ot older they took jobs and helped keep the family. Pearl, the ol dest gi rl, taught school and helped with the expenses. Frank herded she ep and e arned enough to build two extra lumber-rooms, so that now they h ad a livi ng room, and how Adell did appreciate it. She later had the po st offic e in her home and that brought extra much-needed funds. She wa s a precio us, loving mother and her children just adored her. Alonzo, t he oldest s on of the first wife, Mary Eliza Hatton Kimball, lived with A dell part o f the time to help with the chores, and he always said he lov ed Adell alm ost as much as he loved his own mother.
Adell took seriously ill in the fall of 1904. She went to several doct o rs, and finally went to Manti to the temple. Taking her youngest daught er , Laura, with her, and Laura, accompanied her to temple each time sh e wen t. She was there a month, then her daughter Pearl and her husban d took h er back to her home in Kanosh. She passed away December 27, 190 4, surrou nded by her six children. She is buried in the Kanosh Cemetery . She to o died at an early age, her husband died at age 42, and she die d at the a ge of 48.
