• Notes

  He was rebaptized 13 Oct. 1891. Pioneer Jesse Murphy Company (1860) Age at departure: 26 279 individuals and 38 wagons were in the company when it began its jour n ey from the outfitting post at Florence, Nebraska (now Omaha) George Symonds Ostler, son of Thomas Hodder Ostler and Joan Cousins Stev e ns, was born in Bridport, Dorsetshire, England on May 7, 1838. He was r ea red in humble circumstances, never having the advantage of an educatio n . In fact, he never attended an institution of learning. Yet, he coul d re ad and write and keep up with current events. At the early of eigh t year s old, he began earning his own livelihood and for one month worke d fo r a shilling or twenty-four cents a week. His parents were weavers -- his mother being a twine spinner. So he lear n ed the trade and worked at the Pymore Factory for six months; then, h e we nt to the North Mills Factory, where he took care of the machinery . He wa s very dependable as he worked there for ten years and never miss ed an ho ur of work. During that 10 years, there were many days when he w ould neve r see daylight because he would leave home very early in the mo rning an d until his job was finished. His wages were fifteen shillings or three dollars and seventy-five cen t s a week. He was so happy when he could earn enough to buy eight pound s o f bread at one time to help feed the family. He showed a great desire to learn. So, he borrowed an old dictionary fr o m his Uncle John. In doing so, he became a well-versed man and was a ma st er with vocabulary. He also loved to read and study the scriptures. H e wa s considered a great Bible student. He became interested in the Church when he was eight years old. He was b a ptized at the age of fourteen. Very often, they would walk thirty-fiv e mi les on Sundays to attend their meetings. They had a lot of oppositio n an d persecution after joining the church. On one occasion, while holdi n g a street meeting, he was struck by a rock which was thrown by some ro wd y boys. He married Mary Ann Langford the 19th of June, 1864, in the Allington Ch a pel or Parish. His sister Mary Symonds Ostler and her boyfriend, Willi a m George Sheppick, who later became her husband, witnessed this marriag e . They were the parents of six children, all born in England. Julia Ama nd a, Ellen (known as Nellie), George Thomas Langford, Lorinda, Alice Sew ard , who died at six months old and was buried in England, and Alice Eli zabe th. George came to America first and earned his transportation by workin g o n a ship. He worked in a factory in New York for some time and then r etur ned to England. His mother had a home which they sold in order to ge t th e money to bring the family to America. In 1886, 10 years after hi s fathe r’s death, the family left their home and traveled to Liverpool w here the y boarded the “British King”, leaving Liverpool October 16th, an d arrivin g in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, October 27, 1886. They came fr om there t o the Salt lake Valley, on November 1, 1886. They made their first home in Riverton, Utah, where they lived for one y e ar. He then bought a piece of ground in South Jordan, Utah, which was c ov ered with sage brush. He cleared it and built his family a home, borro win g the money at a 15% interest rate. He did all the work on his house , lay ing the brick, doing carpenter work, plastering and shingling and p aintin g. He supported his family by farming. He lived in this home the r eminde r of his life. He was always active in the Church, always attending his meetings. Rega r d less of the weather, he would always hitch up the horse and buggy an d a ttend his Sacrament meetings and Stake Conferences, which for many ye ar s were held in Sandy, Utah. His wife died February 11, 1924, at the age of 85. He lived alone in h i s own home for another six years. He passed away on October 22, 1930 , a t the age of 93, after being ill for one week.
