“The exodus would ever be more trial than trail.”

“Come, calm or strife, turmoil or peace, life or death, in the name of Israel’s God

we mean to conquer or die trying.”

Pres. Brigham Young, as quoted by, Richard E Bennett, “Winter Quarters,” Ensign

SARAH ANN, ELIZA, ABIGAIL, SUZANNE,

What did you leave when you left your home land?

When you followed a husband, who followed his God?

Would you have come, if you had known the path your feet would trod?

Eliza, you didn't believe like your husband Sam, That God had provided a promise land.

So why did you come o'er the ocean and then, Pull that handcart thru' icy rivers and snow?

Even after he died and was left on the trail; why did you stay and embrace his beliefs

After all that? It's amazing to me.

Sarah Ann, pampered and spoiled as a child, You of all people, I would have expected to stay

In Philadelphia, where your charmed life, Had to do with ponies, and satin cushions and no strife.

Hiding, because of your "delicate condition", You listened to the truth,

And traded it all, For nail keg and goods boxes, loaded in wagons.

Women of courage, with faith in every step,

When I hear their stories, such a pattern they set,

In them, I see my way more clearly, I may get there, yet.

These stories have hardships and trials and death

But when told by those who the journey trod,

They were led and protected by the Hand of GOD.

Too many stories, I must tell some more.

Lydia and her husband left persecution in Maine, To come to Utah and try to settle again.

Elizabeth and her husband died back in Maine, neighbors dug their graves, crooked so their souls they could not claim.

Hannah in Missouri, was safe, but wait, Their neighbors were exiled, they couldn't stay.

Phoebe left some children in England, grown, to go, With their father to Utah to build a new home.

Ann, from Mars Hill, her husband dead, Watched her children pull the handcart, all of them lived.

Mary Ann, too, walked with the handcarts, when only six years old;

Now, to Mexico with her husband’s young wives she must go.

Lucy from Kentucky to Arizona much later, by train, With so many nearly grown daughters to wed.

Alice, came to Arizona and married, so young, To a man who wouldn't see his children grown.

Martha and Mary, like their mother, twins.... Left her buried in Mexico, came back alone.

Mabel dragging her children across the state, To be with her husband as work would dictate.

SARAH ANN, ELIZA, ABIGAIL, SUZANNE,

How did you feel when you left your home land?

When you followed a husband, who followed his God?

Would you have come if you had known the path your feet would trod?

Yes! You would come if you had know, the path your feet would trod!

In honor of my pioneer grandmothers: Suzanne de la Tour Lamoreaux was a Huguenot who left France 1685 so that her children could be raised in religious freedom. Abigail Losey Lamoreaux was exiled to Canada when her family fought for the British in the Revolutionary War and then moved to Kirtland after Parley P. Pratt converted her and her husband in Canada in 1836. Eliza Chapman Gadd left England in the 1840's after her husband and older children joined the church. They pushed a handcart in the Willie Company. Her husband and two children died on the trail. She was baptized one month after reaching the Salt Lake valley. Sarah Ann Pedrick Asay was raised well to do, was disowned for joining the church in the pioneer trek in the 1850's. She had to hide to hear the missionaries because genteel ladies did not go out in public when they were expecting.

The last verse honors Lydia Young Crockett, Elizabeth Brockett Crockett, Hannah Whitcomb Haws, Phoebe Colburn Barrett, Ann Jewell Rowley, and Mary Ann Gadd Rowley, Lucy Susan Stinson Pedrick, Alice Arminda Hendricks Asay, Martha Haws Rowley, Mabel Asay Lamoreaux, and Martha Barrett Haws.

1840s

1840 About Green, Wayne, Ill Gilbreth & Hannah Whitcomb Haws first learn about the

Church of Jesus Christ of LDS

“A Sketch of The Life of William Wallace Haws,” C H Lunt

Son William Wallace Haws had been born 5 years before 18 Feb 1835, in Green Township, Wayne Co, Illinois. He was the 7th of 14 children, 6 girls & 8 boys. “Previous to this time they hadn’t affiliated with any church.”

“My father spent his childhood in Illinois, on a ranch. It was located about 20 miles from Xenia, Ill., in the northwestern part of Wayne Co. My grandparents had a herd of sheep, some cattle, and a farm. …some distance from Nauvoo, his family hadn’t suffered the brunt of the persecution. …leaving his friends, …brothers and sisters to join a most unpopular cause was a grave and difficult decision to make. But, he did wish to gather with Saints, so he began to make some preparations.

“However, they didn’t leave Wayne Co. until May 1847. They traveled in a northwest direction through Illinois, crossing the Mississippi River into Iowa, then went west past the first encampment of the pioneers at Garden Grove, which was about 150 miles from Nauvoo, and traveled on 100 miles to Mt Pisgah where they stayed for the winter.

“My father [William Wallace Haws] was 12. Their outfit consisted of one horse team, which Grandfather drove, and several ox teams, which Grandfather [Grandmother?] and the children managed. In the spring of 1848, they went to Council Bluffs, which was located on the east side of the Missouri River, then on to Winter Quarters. They crossed the Missouri River in Lorenzo Snow’s Company. At Winter Quarters they camped to make preparations to go west with the first company of the season.”

“…5 months later 23 Sept 1848 …arrived in SL Valley.”

“William Wallace Haws,” by Chloe Haws Lunt

Hannah Whitcomb Haws “…parents were pioneers to Illinois. Hannah’s parents died when she was a young child & she lived with a married sister until she was married.”

“Hannah married Gilbreth 2 June 1822. She was 16 yrs old. He was 21 years old. They first learned about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints about 1840. Previous to this time they hadn’t affiliated with any church.”

“Hannah Whitcomb Haws,” by Lillian Haws Scott, Feb 1995

1841 Jan 18 England Phoebe Colburn married William Barrett on the 18, January 1841.

William's 1st wife died and he was left with 5 children. Because he was 21 years older than Phoebe, William seemed more like a father than a husband.

“Even after the murder of the Prophet Joseph Smith, when the Saints realized they must shortly leave Nauvoo, they increased their commitment to completing the temple. The attic of the unfinished temple was dedicated as a part of the structure where the endowment would be administered. …Brigham Young, Heber C Kimball, and others of the Twelve Apostles remained in the temple day and night, sleeping no more than about four hours a night.” “Almost 6,000 Latter-day Saints received their endowments before leaving Nauvoo.”

“Our Heritage, A brief History …Latter Day Saints”, p 60

1845 Wayne Co, Ill Gilbreth & Hannah Whitcomb Haws – “In 1845 …some elders

visited them & told them that the saints were being mobbed & driven from their homes, & advised the Haws family to go west with the saints. The Quorum of the Twelve had proposed to the governor of Illinois that the saints would leave the state next spring. To carry out this proposal the beautiful City Nauvoo was turned into a workshop; the sound of hammer and anvil could be hear early and late as they turned raw materials into wagons, harnesses and yokes for the oxen.

“As Hannah and her family lived in Wayne Co, Ill. Which is some distance from Nauvoo, their family hadn’t suffered the brunt of the persecution. To leave their friends to join a most unpopular cause was a very grave and difficult decision to make. They left Wayne Co in May 1847. With a small branch of the church organized in Wayne Co. they traveled in a northwest direction thru Ill., crossed the Mississippi River into Iowa, then went past the first encampment of the Pioneers at Garden Grove, which was about 150 miles from Nauvoo, then traveled on 100 miles to Mt Pisgah where they stayed for the winter.

They traveled in a northwest direction through Illinois, crossing the Mississippi River into Iowa, then went west past the first encampment of the pioneers at Garden Grove, which was about 150 miles from Nauvoo, and traveled on 100 miles to Mt. Pisgah where they stayed for the winter.

“I am not sure whether the family traveled alone at this time, but it is more than likely other people were in the party, as we learn from Aunt Lucinda’s story that there was a small branch of the church organized at Wayne County.”

“Grandfather’s [Gilbreth Haws] family at this time consisted of the parents, six daughters and seven sons, ranging in age from two months to twenty-two years. The oldest son was sixteen. my father (William Wallace Haws) was 12. Their outfit consisted of one horse team, which Grandfather [Gilbreth Haws] drove, and several ox teams, which Grandfather [Grandmother?] and the children managed.

“In the spring of 1848, they went to Council Bluffs, which was located on the east side of the Missouri River, then on to Winter Quarters. They crossed the Missouri River in Lorenzo Snow’s Company.

“In May, 1848, when several companies left Winter Quarters for the Rocky Mountains, Grandfather’s family was among them.

“The trip was difficult. Washing clothes in cold water was commonplace as was using buffalo chips for fuel. Little wood was to be found. The soil was often mattress and springs while the stars were sometimes the only blankets.

1848 May/June Haws – “…several companies left Winter Quarters for the Rocky Mountains, Hannah & Gilbreth’s family was among them. The trip was difficult. They washed clothes in cold water, used buffalo chips for fuel.”

The crossing was not all unpleasant, however. One can imagine a 13 year old boy’s interest in watching herds of buffalo, helping drive the wagons, and singing and dancing around the evening camp fires. Just as Father took his turn dancing the Virginia Reel of Schottische, so did he take his turn in family prayers..

“A Sketch of The Life of William Wallace Haws,” C H Lunt

Hannah helped drive the wagons, they sang & danced around the camp fires, & took turns in family prayers. The Company arrived in Salt Lake Valley on Sept 23, 1848, approximately 5 months after they started.

Salt Lake Valley… Those not ready to go west …some 3,000 Saints moved to new surroundings eastward across the Missouri; the evacuation continued through the spring and early summer. Most settled temporarily in Iowa near Miller’s Hollow, below the east bluff of the river, where the townsite was laid out in 1847. …renamed Kanesville in April 1848 in honor of their non-LDS friend Col Thomas Kane. …Kanesville was destine to be a major Church gathering place, fitting-out station, & a springboard to the Great Basin. It became a layover town where those too poor, tired, discouraged, or unprepared could delay their journey a year or more, plant & sow crops, procure teams & outfits… After these pioneers left …new arrivals from the East or from over seas would take their place…” After the discovery of gold in Calif., Kanesville economy boomed. Church members prospered by selling land, goods, services, provisions & livestock to the emigrants. “Some found the comforts of eastern Iowa a more difficult temptation to resist than their earlier trials and sufferings.”

Bennett, Richard, E, “Winter Quarters,” Ensign 40-53

Pioneers - Leaving Council Bluffs [Kanesville]: “It was a tedious journey for the young children to be crowded into a tightly packed wagon but they were all too young to walk much. They traveled about 15 miles per day.” “They passed Fort Laramie.” “There were problems in crossing the larger streams.”

Christensen, Clare B, Before & After Mt. Pisgah, p 106-7

1848 Sept 23 Salt Lake Valley Haws - “…5 months later23 Sept 1848 …arrived in SL Valley.”

Gilbreth Haws “bought one of the little abode houses in an old fort which had been built by the pioneers the year before. This house consisted of one room 12 feet square. It contained a fireplace and had 2 port holes about 10 inches square on each side of the chimney. The roof of the house was made of logs across which willows and rushes were piled. These were covered with dirt. The floor was also dirt.

“Just after the family arrived in the valley, father [William Wallace Haws] was sent to the Sessions Settlement, 10 miles north of the city, to take care of his father’s stock, grazing them on some leased land until the family was located on a place of their own.”

“A Sketch of The Life of William Wallace Haws,” CH Lunt

The Company arrived in Salt Lake Valley on Sept 23, 1848, approximately 5 months after they started. …Hannah & Gilbreth bought one of the little adobe houses in the old fort. …one room 12 feet square (built last year by the pioneers) …a fireplace …2 port holes abt 10 inches square on each side of the chimney. ...the roof of the house was made of logs across which willows & rushes were piled & then covered with dirt. The floor was also dirt.

“The old fort was formed by a great many of these little houses built together in the shape of a square with a space in the center, all doors opening into the square. Spaces were left for gates on the east and west side of the fort. No windows were put into the houses for fear that the Indians, who were numerous and had attacked the fort, might again do so. There were port holes on the otter walls to provide openings for guns in case of an attack.

Food was very scarce this first year in Utah. Few crops had been planted and the harvest was meager. They were able to buy a little corn for making bread & sometimes a beef would be killed and a little rationed to each family. …dried buffalo meat was pounded and made into gravy & soup. …at times the family felt quite hungry.

“Food was very scarce this first year in Utah. Few crops had been planted and the harvest was meager. Grandfather [Gilbreth Haws] was able to buy a little corn for making bread, but there was so little to go along with it. Sometimes a beef would be killed and a little meat rationed to each family. At other times they were able to get some dried buffalo meat. This was cut in small pieces and pounded to be used in making gravy and soup. Flour added to the gravy thickened it and made it more palatable. But at times the family felt pretty hungry.”

William Wallace Haws “Was baptized into the Church by Apostle Erastus Snow at Salt Lake City, Nov 1848. He located at Provo in the spring of 1848, helped to build the first Old Fort on Provo River and was put on Military Duty when a boy of 14 years old. He served in the fight with the Indians when Joseph Higby was killed, was made Captain of a company of infantry which was sent into Echo Canyon to meet Johnson’s Army in 1857, helped to build the fortifications and was commissioned a Major. He was a member of the Provo Police Force for 20 years. He was priest, teacher, elder, seventy and on his 59th birthday (Feb 18, 1894) was ordained a high priest by Elder John Henry Smith, [He was] missionary to Illinois 1871, pioneer settler of Mogollon Mountain District, Arizona 1897 to Gila Valley in 1882; and to Casas Grandes, Mexico, 1885; moved to Colonia Dublan, Colonia Juarez, and finally Colonia Pacheco, being among the early settlers in the Corralis Basin. He has a large family of 20 children and 38 grand children and a multitude of friends.

William Wallace Haws “stated in his diary that he reached Provo the 1st of April.” Perhaps he was still caring for his father’s stock and lingered to bring them along later.

“This same fall and winter the Indians became hostile and made many raids on the settlers. Loss of livestock and property was heavy. It became so bad that a company of white men was organized to fight the Indians. Several Indians were killed, and the rest fled to the mountains. … (William Wallace) states in his diary that he went to the battlefield the last day of the battle. It was indeed an adventurous experience for a boy of his age.

After the Indian attack waned, there were roads to build, timber to cut, ditches to dig, food to harvest, clothes to make. They all learned new skills and improvised. The young men learned to tan leather and make their own shoes; many of the tools used were hand made. The women learned to spin, weave, knit & sew with limited equipment. The limited varieties & amounts of food taxed the ingenuity of the women who tried to cook tasty nourishing meals in iron kettles over fireplace coals.”

Sailing

1868. “From 1840 to 1868, virtually all LDS emigrants crossed the Atlantic and Pacific in sailing

ships. …The most important type of sailing vessel in which LDS emigrants traveled was the packet ship, the workhorse of the passenger service, …she had to withstand the violence of brutal seas and the stress imposed by hard case masters who strove to keep a schedule under all conditions. Her crew were often called ‘packet rats’ because of their dubious backgrounds.

“Packet ships were sturdy, full-bodied, and somewhat tubby in appearance.

“…in a 51 year period not one LDS emigrant company was lost in the Atlantic. …between 1847 & 1853, 59 such vessels were lost, with all who were on board.” “…fear of the ocean often submerged all other hardships.” “…the safety record of these vessels was remarkable. Masters and passengers often attributed the safe voyages to the hand of Providence, and to the fact that the ships were usually dedicated and blessed before embarking. Many of the vessels were eventually lost at sea, but not while transporting Latter-day Saints.

“…uniquely organized… Large companies were divided into wards, each with its own presidency.

“In the early years, emigrants supplied their own food. Later maritime legislation required shipping lines to provide a daily ration. Few emigrants could afford cabin fare, and sleeping accommodations in steerage were rude and usually overcrowded. …both space and privacy were very limited. …sea travel remained quite primitive.

“…a mock-up of steerage quarters …is a confined areas with tiered bunks ranged along each side. A ladder or steep stairs provided the only exit, and during storms the quarters were ‘hatched down’ to prevent water from flooding the hold. The only light came from a few lamps hanging in strategic locations and shedding a dim glow. The only sanitary facilities were buckets or chamber pots. Some later packets had water closets built on the main deck, but during severe storms – sometimes lasting for days – steerage passengers were hatched down and could not get to the deck. It is easy to imagine the resulting chaos and stench.

“Overcrowding compounded the misery of seasickness, dysentery, cholera, and other diseases. Many emigrant companies exceeded 500 passengers. Between decks, these men women & children huddled together in a heaving, rocking craft, suffering in body and spirit. Even under the best conditions and discipline, the situation created a fertile environment fir the spread of disease.”

“…the Atlantic and Pacific oceans in all their vastness created feelings of awe, loneliness, and apprehension. Converts to the church who had never been far from home soon found themselves at the mercy varying winds and uncompromising waves. At night, lying in their berths, they could hear the creaking and straining noises of the ship, the flap of canvas, the wind whistling through the shrouds and rigging, and the shouting officers and crew… Below deck, the emigrants little world was dark and confined. It was a discordant symphony of children’s crying, the retching and vomiting of the sea sick, the muttering and groaning of despairing companions and, above all, the waves crashing against the hull and over the deck.”

“Sometimes ships were becalmed for days, creating water and food shortages.”

“To combat disease, tedium, and discouragement, LDS emigrants established patterns of shipboard living. Scrupulous sanitation was emphasized, including frequent fumigation and sprinkling of lime (used as a bleaching) in living quarters. To promote health, leaders insisted that in warm and calm weather, everyone – sick and well – spend time on deck in the air and sunshine. Religious services, prayer meeting, entertaining events, games, instruction classes, reading, and needlework were helpful distractions.

“The twins looked so much alike. Grandmother kept different color ribbons on their hands to tell them apart. Their brother would take them out doors and change the ribbons on their hands then bring them back to see if Grandmother could tell them apart. Sometimes she could and some times not. When they got older they had fun with the boys. Sometimes it wasn’t so funny. (Sometimes one would go out with the others date.)

1860s

“By 1860 …For 3 years, Utah War problems had caused the Church to all but halt the movement of new Saints to Utah, so, like a dam ready to burst, increasing numbers of European Saints anxiously sought some way to emigrate. By then the PEF accounts were drained, the handcart method was losing support, and the average cash cost for covered wagon transportation from Florence, Nebraska, to SLC, Utah, was $50 per person for cattle, wagon, & outfit. …Pres Young… inspired to create a brilliant new transportation system… Utahns sent wagons down to the Missouri River valley to pick up needy emigrants and bring them back to Utah – ‘down-and-back’ wagon companies.” Utah members were given tithing credit for sending wagons, oxen, drivers & flour east. The flour was unloaded at 4 stations along the trail for use on the trip back. “Nearly 4,000 LD Saints in Scandinavia, England, & the US made plans to emigrate. …chartered trains, boats, & ships to meet a clockwork schedule designed to put emigrants at Florence, NB in time to meet the Utah down-and-back wagon companies there. …during May, June & July… a provisions store, a warehouse, campsites, corrals, & a weighing machine. Those who could not afford outfits signed up to travel in one of the Church’s down-and-back wagons.” P 11
