Ence, Gottlieb, A Short Sketch of My Life [ca. 1900], 9-10.

We arrived Florence near what we call now Ohmaha [Omaha] only then a Vilage with a few Stores, hear we remained a Number of weeks to prepare for the great jurny acrossing the Plains or Desert, we bought Cattle &amp; Wagons to haul our Provision and luggage across a distance of over a thousend 1000 miles. This year, as well, as a few previous years, some companies went across with handkarts, this was tough, the last year theis companies were made up of such that had no means to buy Wagons themselves and teams to haul them across, it was a very hard jurney for them especially were they had littel children. Men and Women had to pull it across, the food was hauled for them by Ox teams[.] quite a few died on their way. I traveled with a companie of Ox teams and drove all the way across two yoke of Oxen and had verey good luck during the jurny[.] lost no Oxen[.] a good mainey Oxen died on their way, got poisoned by drinking alkaly water. Herey [Henry] Reiser a friend of myn lost 3, three Oxen out of four. I had to walk all the way across the Plain[.] everey other Night I had to stand guard. I deed not mind to walk &amp; work but I did not had anough to eate. Blak Coffe without Sugar, old hard krakers, that we brought along from crossing the Ocen and rusty backon which I could not eate, the flour which has been bought for to eate some of it was sold for a verey high price in Dear Kreek to some Mountainners by the Men I drove Team for John Keller. Every thing went of all right with the aception Father [Henry] Keller Dieing on the plains, Mother [Elizabeth] Keller was the Wagon wheel run over her leg and myselve nearly drowned in the Platt river, but a Dannish Brother recused me in time, his Name I do not know. Quite a few died on the jurny young and old, mostly on the Diarhhea. I remember a old Lady was along name of [Kathrina] Naef[.] she took sick and died[.] I waited upon her while sick, she had no one of her own with her, she had quite a new [few] things and means left which I belive Brother Keller took charge over it. He gave me her Carpet bag for tending to her for wich I was very thankfull[.] by examing the bag I found 60 frenks in French God equal to twelf Dalers. I felt I had no right to it so I gave it to Brother Keller. Our train consisting of 50 wagon all owned by Dennish Train &lt;&amp;German Brothern[.] It was called the Dennish train&gt; Brother [Charles] Widenburg [Widerburg] was our Presedent[.] a other Man lead us across the Plain that had cross it befor. At one time hundreds of Indians made there aparence, they almost scared us but we gave them some flour and bread, they traveled three Days with us and then they took a other route, we were verey glad, we could see the hand of God plainly in this thing, as they felt a little hostile to us a first, mainy little items of intrest could be told but it would take much time and Papper. We arrived in Salt Lake City on the place of our Destination October the fift 1860, we were met by the Brassband.

The guard then had to heerd their Stok on foot all the way to Florence over_____ (87) miles. At Florence we all donated them some to buy themselves 2 more Ponies[.] the Boys belong to Captain White Train of Touili. We arived in Florence alright, but the loading was not ready for us, the Saints had not arived yet and hear we had to waite 5 full weeks, on the Hills of little Tapio . We few Men that had to heard the Stock at Night, had a verey hard time, because wo [so] mainey cornfields where scattered all over the Country not fenced so we had all we could do to keep them from getting a tast of it. At Day times they would lay down in the shade of the Trees, at Night they would feed an at last they were getting verey perticular about what kind of feed they was getting, they would rambel an try to go for the fields so we never had aney rest all Night. I was verey much vexed and agrivated an I am ashamed an sorey to say that I used at time rather naughty hard Words, for which I have felt mainy times sorrey for and asked God to forgive me my wrong.



	At last we got loaded and we started for home, for which I was verey thankfull. Nothing of importand happened[.] we fot [got] along verey well on our return trip. People &amp; Cattel don well, but strange to say, as we had in the year previous so much high Water this year we had hardly anough to water our Stock, but the feed was pretty good all the way through.



	We arived at Salt L. City in the beginning of October all well an glad we all were.

Now the time has come and everything was readey to start, I received my Team 4 yoke of Cattel to drive. We left Salt Lake City about midel of April under the Captain Hansel {Ansel} Harman {Harmon}. We found it verey dificulty to travel, the road very soft and the Water very high. there not hardly a Day for nearly a month but were we had to go into the deep Rivers and got wete sometime lay in the Cloth{es} all night wete and cold{.} at a place called Hams &amp; Blackfork two Rivers imposible to cross the Streams with our Teams, but we had to make Boats out of some of our best Wagonboxes in order to fairy our things acros the River, we <s>{illegible}</s> tightned the craks with rop &amp; Tare {tar}, Boat was loadet and we went acros with it. Now it was allright to get across the River down Stream, but how to get the Boat cross again up stream was the question, we had some long rop along, then we tide our rops on to the Boat and on the other side the River we heatched a yoke of Cattel to it and then they pulled it acros the same was with the Wagon, the Boxes and the runing gare were chained together so they would not come apart, the Wagon tonge was tide up perttey high so it would not stick into the Bank, a Yoke of Cattel were hitched onto the rop on the other side, the Wagon then was let into the Water and the Cattle kept on pulling for quite a while, all at once the Wagon was seen again, by every one that came across we Boys would schout for joy, the rop was every time wholed {hauled} back in the boat this way the Way we got all our things acros the water, the Cattel had all to swin. We crosed the Greenriver in a Feryboa{t} this way we laboured untill we got down to the Sweetwater by the so called Indipendent {Independence} Roc{k} by crossing that river on a raft the first was over Ballanced and dipt into the Water and a few things were lost. It was strange to say for all we had to be in the water so much non of the Boys took sick and non were drowndt, the Lord had been with us Men. After leaving the Sweetwater, we got along all right only we incountered very heavey thunder storms and Rains. We arived after two month Travel at Florence all save, hundert of Saints were waiting theire for us to bring them home to Zion, they were all much pleased to see us come. We took anough Flour from Home with us for the Emigrants, we stationed it along the road by some of the Mail Station and have some of the Boys left with it to guard it. Groberies {Groceries} for the Saints was bought such as Sugar, dried apples a little Coffee &amp; Tea some Rice. The Wagons were loadet with Saints thier lugage, Provisions and some fraight. In the first few weeks we got along very well, but after we got into the Sandy Plains the weather was very hot and the Water very hot and unhealthy, the People began to be sick mainy children and grown Person Died on what we called Diahhrea the same it was with the stock, they getin poisoned from Alcaly {alkali} and mainy Died. People and Cattel dieing to quite a alarming extent nearly every Night some one was dead.



Hansel Harman our Captain, called us Men together told us we must live nearer to God, do less swearing, do more parying {praying}, and to aske God to remove the sickness from our Camp, we prayed and exercised faith in God and He answered our prayers. We get along all right after this untill we came into Ecko {Echo} Canyon, while traveling a little late one Evening too Wagons dipt over, one in the creek <s>{illegible}</s> were two Person where drowndet, the other with 8 Persons in it a Lady lately confined turned over a inbankment but no one was hurt{.} quite a gloom came over the Camp. When I reflected one of the Wagons turned over right on a head of me if I should had dipt {tipped} over it would had been a terrible thing, as I was loadet with 12 big cooking Stoves and through taking pitty on Sister {Helene} and two children I put her behind in the Wagon, but thanks be to God Nothing happened to me nor my Team all the way, but I returned with my heart felt joy Clear countious {conscience} with the knowledge that I have done my duty. We arrived in Salt Lake City in the beginning of October 1862.
