Jane Terry Tarbox Young
. 1846 November 19, my sister, Jane Young & her 2 children came to our house at Council Bluffs, Pottawattamie County, Iowa, with Brother William Parshall. On the morning of the 21st I started with them for Winter Quarters, Nebraska .... Although it was only 15 miles the road was so bad that we could not get there until the 23rd. I gave Jane a sovereign & left her at Sister Thompson's where she wished to stay. I brought her little boy Elisha Tarbox back to live with me.
On February 5, 1847 John & I went to see my sister Jane. We found she had left Sister Thompson's & gone to live at Brother Wooley's. She said she had worked too hard & had caught cold & was very sick indeed. She said she wished to see President Young, so I went & asked him to go & see her, which he did. We came home on February 6 & on February 15, Elisha Tarbox & I went again to see Jane at Sister Holman's, but when we got there she was so low that she could not speak nor make any sign that she knew us. About 12 o'clock that night she died of consumption. Her little girl, Amanda, was 6 years old & was sick with canker. My brother Joel was there. He had agreed to pay Sister Holmes a dollar a week to take care of her & it had already cost him $40 to pay the doctor, nurse & funeral expenses, so I took the children & went to President Young. He asked me if I could not take the children & care for them. I told him I would take them & try to do the best I could for them. February 16th President Young sent Brother Atwood with his carriage & took us home. The last I saw Jane that she could talk with me she told me that Emma needed a change of dress for she was almost destitute for clothing. Elisha was [destitute] also, but Jane had cloth that I made up for him."
Jane's children continued the trek westward. Elisha Terry Tarbox arrived in Salt Lake October 15, 1849, in the Alan Taylor company. He later went to California & established his home & family there. Emma Amanda Young arrived in Salt Lake September 25, 1848, with the Hewards in the Zera Pulispher company. Emma married Parshall Adam Terry when she was 17 years old; she was his second wife, the one he chose to live with after the Manifesto. Later in life Parshall became a physician & practiced in California until the San Francisco earthquake & fire ruined him financially. Emma outlived Parshall by thirteen years & at the age of 75 was doing piecework for a shirt factory in Los Angeles.

Living Conditions: Lollie Anderson's Death On the Plains
It was November 1856 when Captain James G. Willie's hand-cart company was having a very difficult time making its way toward the Salt Lake Valley. A number of them perished from the cold & food was practically gone. In an attempt to conserve on the sparse stores as much as possible, each member of the company was given an allotment of two tablespoons of flour per day. The flour was made into a gravy & along with an edible root resembling the sego lily provided almost their entire diet. - - -
