Elvira Stevens

In 1850, John S. Woodbury was called to serve a mission to the Sandwich Islands. He married Elvira Stevens on 23 December 1850, and was encouraged by Brigham Young to bring her with him on his mission. They were both re-baptized on 24 February 1852. On 13 March 1851, John and Elvira left for California. At the end of his mission, John traveled home in 1856. He traveled with his wife, Elvira, from California to Utah, departing 3 April 1856 from San Bernardino. Further research is needed to determine the company they traveled home with. In some sources, her given name is spelled "Alvira,"
