      Harry Walton/Garden Grove Company (1851) Age at departure: 9
      About 21 families from Garden Grove plus other individuals and 60 wago n s were in the company when it began its journey from the outfitting po s t at Kanesville, Iowa (present day Council Bluffs). They left Garden Gr ov e, Iowa on 17 May 1851


      This story was written by one of Sarah Huntsmans’ children. I do not kn o w how or where I got it, but I am her Great Granddaughter, Earline Gil e s Kvist.

      Sarah Huntsman Giles was the 10th child of James Huntsman and Mary Johns t on Huntsman. She was born in Nauvoo, Illinois on the 3rd of June, 1841.
      Her father was the 36th member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-D a y Saints.
      The family moved to Kirtland, Ohio in 1830. From there they moved to Jac k son County, Missouri where they stayed until 1839. They were driven ou t o f Missouri on 27 February, 1839. The next day their son was born in a n ol d blacksmith shop. The next day, 28 February, 1839, they began the j ourne y to Nauvoo, Illinois. They lived there until the martyrdom of th e Prophe t Joseph Smith.
      In 1846 they moved to Council Bluff. They were among the first settler s t here.
      Grandfather Huntsman built a grist mill there and sold flour to the immi g rants
      They traveled to Utah in Captain Merriotts’ Company of 50 wagons. Capta i n William Barton was Captain over their 10 wagons. They settled in Sal t L ake City on Mill Creek.
      They were called by President Brigham Young to go to Fillmore, Millard C o unty in 1853. Grandfather Huntsman held a great many positions to trus t i n Fillmore, which was once the State Capitol of Utah.
      During the early days he acted as Santa Claus to the poor of that town.
      My mother, Sarah, married Joseph Sinkler Giles on January 30, 1869 in Fi l lmore.
      My father came to Utah as a surgeon in Johnstons Army
      My mother made buckskin shirts and pants for many of the young men of Ho l den, Utah, and also made clothing for men which she sold in the store . Sh e owned the first sewing machine in Holden. She was a great dancer a nd si nger. She gave birth to thirteen children. She was also a Relief So ciet y teacher when it was first organized and was a faithful teacher unt il he r death
