  • FamilySearch lists his name as "Heber Evert Orser," but his obituary, gravestone, and the 1880 Nevada census show his name as "Evert Orser.

    Evidence from census and church financial records prove that he came to Utah between 1851 and 1855. He does not appear on the 1850 Utah census.  The first documentation to place him in Utah is a church financial record dated 1855.   Further research is needed to determine the year of his travel and the name of the company he traveled with.
