"Captain Miller of Farmington met the company of L.D.S. converts with fifty wagons and teams.  We waited three weeks to let the weary oxen rest up for there [their] return journey and then we started over the prairies in July.  We experienced no trouble on the plains with Indians.  The men who night herded the cattle used to hunt in the daytimes and often they would kill buffalo and deer for the camp.

Besides my parents those in our family were my brothers Isaac, Thomas, Joseph and John and my sisters Julia, Mary Ann, Elizabeth Jane and Mathilda Ann.  We slept in a tent at night on the plains.	</p>

We arrived in Salt Lake City October 10, 1862.</p>
