- History of Mary Ostler
Mary Ostler was the youngest child of John Ostler and Sara Endacott Goll o p
Mary was born in Bridgeport Dorset England September 28th 1849.Her fath e r and mother joined the Church of Bridgeport in 1847 two years before s h e was born. They moved Southampton In 1855 to find a better employmen t s o that they could join the Saints in Utah
Mary's father was a weaver by trade and moved from place to place for em p loyment. Mary was baptized in 1858. In the spring of 1861 they decide d th ey could sail for America. In April, John and Sarah and their five c hildr en, John Jr., David, Oliver, Sarah Ann and Mary sailed on the shi p “Manch ester” to New York. The ship having 379 Saints aboard
Sailing across the great ocean in a sailing vessel was very thrilling f o r a little girl of eleven. This must have been a very interesting exper ie nce to see and do so many things that she had never done before. Ther e mu st have been a lot of thrill and excitement along with a lot of sadn ess w onderment.
I'm sure it must have been quite an experience to land and big city Ne w Y ork and go through the customs office at Castle Gardens. There must h av e been immigrants and more immigrants. There were people from far an d wid e going through customs examinations. There were the usual medica l examin ations that were routine for all passengers of Ships coming fro m foreig n Nations in 1861. They did not want any contagious diseases car ried int o the new land.
There is no record as to how the family travel to Winter Quarters bu t i t is to be assumed they took the same route as their brothers Willia m an d George two years earlier. This route included disembarking at Ne w Yor k City going by Steamboat up the Hudson River to Albany by Railroa d and S teamboat boat to Detroit, then by train to Florence Nebraska or W inter Qu arters.
On arriving at the Florence Nebraska the Ostler family found that the Pe r petual immigration fund of the church for the Saints traveling to Zio n ha d become depleted and there were no funds to take them the rest of t he wa y. After arrangements with the telegraph company they were able t o secur e work for the young men to help in this great project and at th e same ti me make it possible to take them to Zion.
John Ostler work for the telegraph company which helped pay their way ac r oss the Plains and then when he came to Utah he worked for them in Sal t L ake City helping to set up this communication system. John and his fa mil y stayed in the valley for the first winter and then when spring cam e the y left for Nephi. They were the first to settle there. Mary Osler M arrie d Charles Richard Brewer Ockey on February 8th 1868 in the Salt Lak e Endo wment house. She had 13 children.
