| Notes |
- John Ostler, the son of John Ostler Sr. and Sarah Endacott, was born a t B ridport, Dorset, England, 5 June 1838. John Jr., in later years of hi s li fe adopted the letter "C" or sometimes used the name Charles to hel p in m aking it easier for the family to differentiate between him and hi s fathe r. There were also other members of the family that were named Jo hn, as e ach had to have a son named for their father or grandfather. Thi s has hel ped a great deal even though he was given the name of just "Joh n" at th e time of his christening in England .
John, as a boy, lived in Bridport part of the time but the family did li v e at Axminster, Devon, and Symondsbury, Dorset, for a while. His famil y m oved to Southampton in 1855. Southampton being a port for ships gav e Joh n and his brothers the opportunity to learn different trades. It i s belie ved from family stories that he did learn the tanning trade. This , I am s ure, would have been a great help to him as he grew older livin g in the p ioneer settlements knowing this trade. He also gives us to bel ieve that h e had experiences as a mariner. We know that the government a t this tim e was calling young men into the service of their country, bu t from famil y stories John served with merchant ships and sailed from So uthampton t o Sevastopol Russia, and other ports along the way no doubt . This would g ive him a good knowledge of countries in the north of Euro pe. John also l earned about the workings of a sailing vessel and in th e later years of h is life he delighted in getting young people togethe r and explaining al l the things about a sailing vessel. He would draw pi ctures to explain hi s lessons. If only we had some of those stories toda y this could be a muc h more interesting history of John.
While in Southampton, John and his family made preparations to move to Z i on. The family saved all that they could, for this was very expensive f o r them.
Just prior to their leaving Southampton, John was married on 10 April 18 6 1 to Mary Ann Prince. This was just one week before they sailed from Li ve rpool. This is interesting as Mary Ann Prince is shown on the same pag e o f the ship's roster with the Ostlers but not as being the wife of Joh n Os tler, Jr. Just the same she was on the same ship and I am sure tha t thi s young couple was very happy to be together on this long journey . Alon g with John and Mary Ann, of course, were John's parents and fou r other c hildren of the family. His brother, David, met a lovely young l ady on th e boat and before they arrived in the Salt lake Valley they wer e married . These two young couples must have found it much more interest ing whil e on the ship than if they had been alone .
On arriving at Florence, Nebraska, this Ostler family found that the Per p etual emigration Fund of the Church for these Saints traveling to Zio n ha d become depleted and there was no funds to take them the rest of th e way . After arrangements wit the Telegraph Company they were able to se cure w ork for the young men, like John, to help in this great project an d at th e same time make it possible to get funds to take them to Zion.
John was one of those who worked and helped set up telegraph lines acro s s Nebraska. He also worked and helped build and wire the telegraph offi c e in Salt Lake City after arriving in the valley. He is also reporte d a s having helped in the building of the Salt Lake Theater.
After arriving in the Valley, John and Mary Ann made their home in a dug o ut that first winter. John found employment and they stayed in the Vall e y for a little while. Mary Ann gave birth to their first child prematur el y in the fall of 1861. This little child (William) did manage to survi v e but was a constant care and work for this new mother, as there was n o t much help medically, but all of their faith and prayers sustained th i s little one and he did pull through. After having another child, John ' s parents persuaded them to come to Nephi and make their home so that t he y could be near to help.
It must have been late in the fall of 1864 when they moved to Nephi, f o r the story is told that as they traveled around the point of the mount ai n they became stuck in the snow. John's sister's husband, William Furn er , was with them and they were taking a plow with them. The men helpe d Mar y Ann and her children to get through the snow and then they had t o tak e the plow and cut through the deep snow before they could get thei r wago n and all of their things through .
John's parents and brother, David, had taken one square block in Nephi , t he parents living on the north side of the block and David and his wi fe l iving on the southwest corner of the block. John Jr. built a littl e hom e next to his father's for his little family and lived there fo r a littl e while before going into the tannery business. The tannery wa s set up i n a shop on the creek where the Juab County Court House was la ter built.
In 1877, he built another tannery down near the railroad, which he opera t ed until 1882. In 1882, he purchased a harness shop from Walt Reed, th e s hop being on the block south of the Whitmore home. In 1884, John sen t hi s son, John Steven, to Gunnison in Sanpete County where they opene d a bra nch of the harness shop. This they operated for four years.
John also was in the freighting business and his son, even as a young fe l low, had driven his freight wagons from Nephi to Pioche, Nevada, and th e n to Salt Lake City. His brother, David, also helped him in the busine s s taking many of these freighting trips .
John built Mary Ann a lovely new home closer to his business. This prope r ty later became the County Fair Grounds where the annual "Stampede" wa s h eld.
On 7 June 1873, John married Dorothy Howarth as his second wife in plur a l marriage. He now had a great responsibility in taking care of two fam il ies. Both wives had large, lovely families. Both of them had their chi ldr en in Nephi, but as the years passed Dorothy's children moved into Sa npet e and Tooele Counties.
In 1886, John was called to go back to England on a mission. Here he ful f illed a good mission and his two faithful wives took care of their fami li es while he was gone. Great credit must be given to these two fine wom e n for being so stalwart in a calling of this kind, as they had to suppo r t their families while he was gone. After John's return he bought a ho m e in Fountain Green for Dorothy, the second wife .
John and Mary sold their large home in Nephi and moved into a smaller ho m e after their children were all married and had homes of their own. He r e they spent the remainder of their life, with many happy visits from t he ir grandchildren. As one of those grandchildren expresses, "I can stil l s ee them in my memories as they were to me-two kindly gentle people wh o en joyed the visits of their grandchildren. Grandmother always with som e nic e cookies or cake for the children and a bunch of flowers of all ki nds an d colors for us to take home to our mothers. Grandfather always wi th a po cket of peppermints. Grandfather was a medium build with gray hai r an d a long gray beard, which had once been dark. He had bright blue ey es. G randmother was a short, plump little lady who moved rather spryly f or on e of her age. Her hair was dark and sprinkled with gray, her eyes w ere br own."
"In February of 1913, Grandmother had a stroke from which she died on Fe b ruary 2. Grandfather went to live with his daughter, Eliza, and it wa s th ere, just seven months later, on September 7, 1913, he also passed a way."
"John's second wife, Dorothy, passed away April 7, 1920, in Tooele, Uta h , at the home of her son, Moroni Howarth, and was buried in Nephi besi d e John and Mary Ann. Dorothy was a very trim, neat little lady and I ha v e often thought of her as being a wonderful woman to have raised the wo nd erful family she did under some of the most trying experiences she ha d t o go though."
