Emily Ellen Swain
Traveled from England on the ship Antarctic in 1863 with the Kirby family. She was sent ahead of the family as she could travel half price at the age of ten. She had many difficult experiences. The Kirby's sort of abandoned her once they reached Omaha because her fare had only been paid that far but she was resourceful and reached Utah safely.
