Our Immigration

"Our Immigration", Deseret News, September 7, 1864, Page 5.

OUR IMMIGRATION.—Capt. J. S. Rollins [Joseph S. Rawlins] telegraphed from Sweetwater bridge, 332 miles east, Sep, 1:—"Train in fine condition, traveling all right, and doing well."



Capt. W. [William] S. Warren telegraphed from Horse Shoe Creek, 466 miles East, Sep. 2:—"Train passed this afternoon, all well. Canfield is close behind."



Cap. John Smith telegraphed from Deer Creek, 411 miles East, Sep. 2:—"I am here with 20 wagons, Scandinavians; have lost 20 cattle. Can we get help?" This is an Independent Company," and any who have relations and acquaintances in Capt. John Smith's company will confer a favor by sending them some 10 or 12 yoks of oxen. We have not received any list from this company, and of course cannot inform our readers who are in it.



Elder H. B. Clawson telegraphed from Plum Creek 36 miles this side of Kearney, Sep. 2:—"9 a.m., train passing, all in first rate spirits." These, Captains [William] Hyde and [Warren S.] Snow's companies, are probably traveling together, as they were when previously heard from, and are the last of our this season's immigration, Elders Joseph A. Young, H. B. Clawson, Jos. W. Young, H. S. Beatie, W. C. Staines and perhaps Richard Bentley and some others are accompanying these trains in private conveyances, and will probably travel with them until the region of Indian troubles is passed, when they will leave them and come ahead.

Richard Bentley autobiographical sketch, undated, Page 10.

In the spring of 1851 Needham and Fergusen dissolved partnership[.] Bro. Needham emigrated to Utah and Mr. Ferguson continued the business[.] I continued with him until May 1852 when I emigrated to Utah, in the 20th company, H[enry]. W[illiam]. Miller being captain of the company.



Bro. Miller was an excellent captain to travel with. Elder [Orson] Hyde and family were in the company. We made good time, passing all the companies along the road down to the 7th. The cholera was very bad on the plains that year, but only one or two died out of our company. Captain Miller would not stop in one camp long enough for the people to get sick and die. It was very sorrowful to see so many graves by the roadside.



We arrived in Salt Lake City on September 24th, 1852.

Local Affairs

"Local Affairs", Salt Lake daily telegraph and commercial advertiser, October 1, 1864.

HOME FROM THE STATES.—E. R. Young, Esq., visited us yesterday morning in the sanctum. He left Kearney on the 6th of September in company with A. R. Wight, Esq., of this city, and the two travelled together as far as Julesburg through the reported slaughter-fields without seeing an Indian, or any body else to annoy or disturb them. Mr. Y. says there were a thousand wagons corraled at Kearney when he left there.



His son John, and another young man traveled with him from Julesburg to Green River without trouble. He reports meeting on Pole and Bitter Creeks a very large number of returning emigrants from the gold mines very destitute of provisions. There was no flour any where for sale and they were begging of every person they met. Some of the more vigorous and enterprising were doing a good hunting business.



Mr. Y. passed Captains Warren Snow and William Hyde, with their emigrants, and an independent train at Julesburg on the 13th. Everything was well and the trains making good time. He passed a large emigrant train 13 miles this side of Bridger, on Wednesday morning, and passed another train at Weber in the evening. He left his own train moving from Kearney—it would be in, sometime in October.



He reports also passing about 1700 wagons with mules and oxen on their way to Virginia City, Montana.



Mr. Young is in good health and feeling well after his trip to the States.



MEETING THE RETURNED.—"Joseph A." saluted us cordially yesterday, was pleased with the Daily "as far as he had seen it" and liked the enterprise. The genial hearted Staines was as lively and humorous as ever, pleased to be back again of course. Bentley after four years absence was as perfectly contented and sound as in the days of yore. Schettler has still to make his acquaintance among the people, but he comes home "good." Farnsworth looked natural and felt at home. "Zeb" was round shaking his honest hand—we like him. Gentlemen, we wish you all the happiness you desire—you deserve it for your labors.
