- Journal Entry - May 28, 1858 - We landed in Pontown, Utah Valley on 28 May with all of our family as [well as] stock-sheep, cattle and horses.
Margaret has not bin with us in this moove. She went a few weeks ahead of us to tak care of hir Mother as she was very sick even on hir death bed.
We overtak hir here at Spanish fork just after the death of hir Mother a few minutes. She was sick several years with consumption and was expecting to depart this life [a] while before she did.
When I beheld Margaret she was standing by hir Mother as she had just deceased. A lady was holding hir boy George, and I did not know him for he had taken sick a few days previous with his death sickness.
We proceeded to get [a] coffin to bury Margaret's Mother. We buried hir and took Margaret and hir children tot he waggons with us, but hir boy was very sick with high fever, the same disease that caused Nephi death.
We allso did all we could to raise [him] from his sickness, as we allso done all we could for Nephi, but nothing gave them ease, and finily we had to gave him up to go behind the veil for a while.
