the weather cleared and some of the brethren came on board. Charles spoke with Brother D.M. Stuart. "I had quite a talk with him and told him about Milo's talk to me. Brother Stuart used his influence in my favor and got me a better berth, as the one I had was very uncomfortable." About 5:00 p.m. on May 23rd, they washed out to sea. Charles got very seasick after being out about three days and was in bed part of two days. Milo was very sick for several days and came pretty near going off. Throughout the journey I prayed to the Lord for strength and I got over the seasickness. I never had an unpleasant word with anyone, sought to be useful and do good to all. The Lord blessed me in all my labors. On May 22nd they landed at Castle Garden on June 2, they landed at Florence. Charles writes, "I have stood guard a good part of the past three night and did not get off the boat until 12:00 a. m., as myself and several others had to watch the luggage, and ensure it was taken ashore safe and alright." Charles and his party rented a room in Florence for four weeks. On June 29, they moved into their camping grounds. The first night out in our wagons they had a very heavy rain storm," our bedding, a good part of what we had, got wet, but we soon learned to adapt ourselves to traveling light. The wagon we traveled with had thirteen souls, including myself, my intended wife, Elizabeth Wilkins, her mother, and others. We enjoyed ourselves fine all through the journey, considering such a trek. Our company lost sixteen head of cattle and the same number of souls. We had about sixty-one wagons. We landed on Emigration Square in Salt Lake City on September 15,1861; it was a Sunday afternoon around 3:00 or 4:00 P.M. Elizabeth and I went to our old friend Brother Thomas Maycock's home. Over the next little while Charles worked wherever he could. On November 2, 1861 Elizabeth and I left for the Weber Valley in company with Brother Joseph Dean and Griffeth. Charles writes in his journal there is one thing I wish to mention about crossing the plains, which is a little over a thousand miles, When we first started out, our captain told us that all of the men-folk he wished to walk, and the young to walk all they could, as our wagons was pretty well loaded and it would be about all the teams could do to take us through if we do our best. So I made up my mind while he was talking to walk right through, but before getting through I fell lame and our team brought me about two miles from camp one evening. They stopped and told me to get up after we got into camp and the captain got word that a brethren had fallen lame, Morgan Pioneer History Binds Us Together so he came along and brought me something to rub my knee with, and also a drink to take, and gave me very strict orders to ride all the next day, do no camp duties and but take a good rest so that I might not be laid up. I got administered to and did as I was told. I got much better and on the following morning again tried waking. From there walked right on into Salt Lake City. I once was sick a half day besides, and had all I could do to walk into camp, but got administered to and was well again in the morning." Charles prayed to the Lord and gave him praise, honor, and glory for the help and strength he gave him has he traveled. And this gave him the courage he needed to make it to the Weber Valley (Morgan). Endurance: On November 7, 1863, Charles did something that most men today have never done. On the evening of November 6, G. Tucker came to him and asked if he could go the Salt Lake City to get some needed medicine for his wife. On the morning of November 7, Charles set out, on foot, to walk to Salt Lake City. In that day's journal, Charles did not murmur over this task; "Traveled over the summit to the City, arrived at dusk, got some medicine for Sister Tucker, did a little. Stayed overnight at W.A. Garrett's". The next day he stated "I was very stiff, got breakfast, called on the brethren, and then I set out for home." He wrote how it was a good day, but the summit had snow on each side, this made the trip more difficult. He arrived home around 11:00 P.M. that evening. Most people would have gone home first, but not Charles. He when straight away to the Tucker home to deliver the medicine. After walking over sixty miles in two days Charles was left to deal with the physical effects of the journey. In his journals he describes the next week. He went from having sore feet on the 9th and doing little around the home. To on the lltb "Keep my bed most the day." By the 14th he stated "this week is past I done but little work, my health is got perty good again; for which I thank God." Integrity: On December 30, 1872, the Turners, Brother R. Hogg and two Brother Simmons families are required by the City Council to stay at home, because of smallpox. These are the names of the families, which he talks about in his journals. "The smallpox still growing worse upon our little folks. O, what a dark cloud to labor under the ordinance, all we can do seems to accomplish little in behalf of those afflicted with small pox."
