Baptized into the church April 1853. Married George Turner, November 25,1854 on board ship just out from Liverpool at the age of seventeen years. A few years later her husband died at a hospital without her having the privilege of being by his bedside, as her first baby was born a few days later. She was then married to Benjamin Jones and seven children were born to them. He also passed away, after which she gathered here to Utah with her family and married Bishop Charles Turner in Morgan, June 6,1870. Six children were born to them, making her the mother of fourteen children. Her life was one of devotion; she passed through many hardships and was known for nursing the sick and comforting those in distress and was loved by all those who knew her. She passed away May 26,1914, at the age of seventy-seven years. She is survived by five children, three boys and two girls. She was a faithful Latter- day Saint until the last. ©9- Catherine Moore Wadsworth Catherine Moore was born October 24,1847, at the Victoria Ironworks, Tredegar, Wales. Her parents were Jacob Moore and Catherine Lloyd Jarman Moore. They owned and operated a sweet shop. Jacob is also listed as a Collier (coal miner) When Catherine was seven years old, her father left and journeyed to America with his parents. They settled in the Southern states. Catherine never saw him again. A wife and five children were left to fend for themselves. As Catherine got older, I'm sure that she helped her mother with the shop. A native missionary named John Thomas contacted the family and converted Catherine Lloyd Jarman and the older children, except Thomas, the oldest son. He and Catherine Moore's mother fell in love. On March 2, 1858, the two were married. Nothing had been heard from Jacob in all this time. John Thomas contracted pneumonia while presiding at the Breconshire Fall Conference for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. He died October 19, 1862. Catherine's mother made preparations to leave for America which she and John had planned to do before he died. John's death had left the family destitute. John had not been able to work for several weeks and Catherine could not run her shop because she had to nurse John. The family received help from John's brothers and sisters. This included his brother, Thomas, who was already in Utah. Catherine's mother sold her shop and with the help of Thomas and probably the "Perpetual Immigration Fund" she was ready to make the trip. They left Liverpool, England, bound for New York City. The family (minus Thomas, the oldest child who was already married and who stayed in Wales), after arriving in New York, stopped off at Pottsville, Pennsylvania to see Catherine Lloyd Jarman's parents, John Jarman and Margaret Price Jarman. Here the family learned that Jacob had died January 1,1863. He died fighting for the Confederacy. He held the rank of Captain. The Jarmans did not want anything to do with their daughter or her family because of their association with the Mormon Church. This was the last time that any of them made contact with the Jarmans. They continued their journey to Florence, Nebraska where the wagon trains were being outfitted. They left Florence on August 10, attached to the 218 |
