sister, Emily, and I had walked all day and were very tired, father said, "We are near camp, but get in". We had just climbed in the back end of the wagon when we heard Mother exclaim, "0 God, give me the strength of a Lion!" Suddenly, going down a dugway, the wagon completely capsized. As our goods by some mismanagement had been left at Philadelphia, we had no luggage; so the wagon was laden with freight for the company. The back end was stacked with flour. In the front end was a large box packed with glass and china ware on which Mother had seated her two little children, two and three years of age. We thought she with the little ones would be crushed to death; but rescued from her perilous position, she was able to resume her domestic affairs as usual. The children were not hurt, but frightened. Sister Emily and I were nearly smothered to death under the flour. We arrived at Salt Lake City October 28, 1855, ending a journey of eight months. Looking down from the brow of the bench on Emigration Street, the city was not perceivable to our view from that distance. The little log and adobe dwellings appeared as boulders scattered over the surface _of the ground. We found Zion a comparative desert; but with patience, industry, perseverance, and Heaven's blessing, we witnessed it transformed from a desert to a fertile and most desirable land to dwell upon. To our mother was verified the promise made by Apostle Franklin D. Richards; for here she found her eldest son, John, from who she hand not heard since he left England in the spring of 1854. The next day we continued on our way to Ogden and located at Mound Fort. As we came the year of the grasshopper war, breadstuff was very scarce and a hard winter followed. The family suffered much from cold and hunger. I was sent to Salt Lake City to be help and company to Sister Helen Toronto. After April Conference in 1856, I came home for a visit. We subsisted almost entirely on weeds and bran bread. Father made traps of willow twigs and caught fish in the Ogden River. In June I returned to Salt Lake City at Sister Toronto's request. I came home and separated the wheat from the chaff by hand. In March 1857 Father was sent on a mission to Italy. At the same time I was appointed a teacher in the Ogden Relief Society. Mrs. William Palmer was president. In March 1858, my twin sister and I were married to Isaac R. Farley, who is also a twin, in the Endowment House at Salt Lake City. We were told there that he was the first young man that went into the principle of plural marriage. In May we went with General Move to evade the invasion of Johnston's Army and located on the Provo bottoms near Utah. Lake. in August we returned home in time to harvest a crop of volunteer wheat. In 1859 Father returned from his mission with a company of emigrants. In 1869 we moved on a farm in West Weber Ward. In
