Alternate parent for research
There was an Amy, daughter of Joshua Stevens, living at Goshen, about 20 miles north of NewYork City in 1777. She would have been about 7 years old at the time if source is correct. An Able Stevens moved with his family into Canada after the war & took possession of a grant of land near the Don River, next to that of Parshall Terry II. He stayed there but a short time before he moved on east into Leeds County.

THE HISTORY OF DAVID TERRY
by Charles R. Terry, a Son Clarkson, Canada, December 6, 195O
. The following is a history of the life of my father as told to me by others:
David Terry was born in the town of Palmyra, state of New York on April 17, 1817. He started life as a child the hard way, having to chop wood when it kept him busy all day to keep the stove going. His education consisted of 2 weeks at schoo . As a lad he was taught to work & be­ came an expert with the axe, so much so that he used to put up his 4 cords of steam boat wood a day on the banks of the Mississippi River, I have heard that when a young man he had been in every state in the Union. He came with his parents and family to Canada; settling in the township of Albion, at a village called Caladon East, where they estab­lished a gristmill and where (I presume) David learned the milling business. As well as a mill, the family had a store and hotel. His sister Elizabeth married a man who kept a tavern. He died & David tended bar for his sister for a year thereafter. He grew up to be quite a swell & used to wear a stovepipe hat & straps under his instep to keep his trousers down straight. - - -

Died:
Aged 71, Old Age, sick 1 week.

1. An Enduring Legacy: Volume Twelve, Graves Along the Pioneer Trail:
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. - - -

Notes:

. Short Sketch of the James Marshall Terry, by Ellen Terry Blundell, a Granddaughter:
My grandfather Terry was the last born child of Parshall & Hannah Terry. He was born January 1, 1830, at Albion, Ontario, Canada.
He lived in Nauvoo with his parents. Grandfather came to Utah with his parents & settled in Cache Valley. He moved to Draper & then to Rockville, Washington County, Utah.
Here he was a member of the Mormon Bishopric for 15 years. He had a beauti­ful home, fine horses, great herds of sheep, a vineyard & orchard. He was road supervisor, Washington County Selectman, 2 terms, beginning in 1883, Veteran of Walker & Captain of Black Hawk Wars.
Grandpa Terry was a tall finely built man, with kindly blue eyes, & a long white beard, almost to his waist, ever since I have known him. He was interested in families, names, & loved little children.
Grandpa was born in Albion, Ontario County, Upper Canada, [York Co., Ontario] on January 1, 1830, the youngest son of Parshall & Hannah Terry. She came from Canada and settled in Nauvoo. They were driven from Nauvoo, & came across the plains when grandfather was 19 years old.
This was in 1849.
Grandmother Mary Richards was born in Toronto, Home District,
Upper Canada, May 14, 1837. With her parents John Kenny & Agnes Hill
Richards, (died May 17, 1902, Hinckley, Utah.)
. 1842 Sep 20, she came to Nauvoo.
. 1816 July 27, she crossed the Mississippi River into Iowa, & wended her way to Winter Quarters, now Florence, Nebraska. They went back to Pottowattomie County, Iowa, where they remained until the 22nd of April, 1851, then started across the plains, arriving in Salt Lake City, September 22, 1851. They settled at east Mill Creek. Grandmother Terry was 14 years old when she walked across the plains. [b.1835]
. 1856 Nov 2, grandmother Mary Richards married grand­father James Parshall Terry & they moved to Draper where the Terrys lived. Mary Richards Terry was 19 & James Parshall Terry was 26 at the time of their marriage.

. He went only as far as Pacific Springs, which was 800 miles, to help his sister's family. At that place the weather was too bitter & he turned around & went back to Winter Quarters. He journeyed all the way to Utah the following year.
. 1902 May 17, Aged 65y, Mary Richards Terry died.
. 1918 Aug 12 James Parshall Terry died.

Aged 88y 7m 11. Carcinoma of right hand. Chronic bronchitis.

Notes:

Elisha is the son of Jane Terry & George Tarbox.

. 1847 Feb 5 - John & I went to Winter Quarters to see my sister Jane. We found she had left Sister Thompson & gone to live at Brother Wooleys. …We came home February 6 & on February 15, Elisha Tarbox & I went again to Sister Holman's where Jane died of consumption (TB). … It was not long after this that John Heward & the 10 year old had a little trouble over an errand which John sent him on. John reprimanded him quite severely, this made Grandma Terry vexed & she sent for Elisha to come & live with them, which he did. He crossed the plains in their wagon in the Allen Taylor Company arriving in the Salt Lake Valley October 15, 1849.

[His half-sister] Emma Young had got better of the canker & was going to school. She was now 7 years old. It was a great trial for such young children to be left without parents at the commencement of such a wearisome trek as the more than 1000 miles they had to travel to get to the Valley of the Mountains, but they were fortunate to have relatives to care for them. Emma Amanda, with the Hewards came in the company with Zerah Pulsipher as Captain (Terry Lund's great grandfather) which arrived in Salt Lake 25 Sep, 1848.
The Hewards had a hard struggle to get along in this new land, of course Emma suffered along with the rest.
. 1855 January 16, grandfather Parshall Terry came to see how they were getting along & told them he thought they could do better if they moved to Draperville where most of the Terry's were located, so they did in March of that same year. But later Elisha went to live with my father & mother. Finally, Emma Amanda went to live permanently with her grandparents & brother Elisha. I imagine her life here was a bit more happy. Elisha later went to California where he established a home & had his family.

. 1874 Oct 6 - Grape Juice - Commencement of Operations in the Distillery, An Extensive establishment, the process of Mfg. Brandy, Something for LA to be proud.
Yesterday, through the courtesy of Mr. E. T. Tarbox, the leassee & operator of the Los Angeles Distillery, members of the city press were furnished carriages & a polite invitation to visit the extensive establishment across the river & witness the opening of the Fall vintage. The distillery has lately been refitted & supplied with all the necessary machinery & appliances for a vigorous prosecution of work during the grape season. The building itself is commodious & well arranged & everything about the establishment has been brought to the most desirable state of cleanliness & good order. Commencing with the Introduction of the grapes from a platform on the southeastern side of the building, we pass through a huge doorway which leads directly the crusher. The grapes are packed In boxes of a convenient size, holding four pounds each & are thus carried in on tramways from the receiving platform. About 10 tons were stacked up ready for use, this being only a small installment compared with the capacities of the establishment & designed, only for a short run to test the machinery. Four men were kept busy feeding the crusher & at that, could not supply the machine to its full capacity, which is placed at over 10 tons an hour. After crushing, the pulp & juice pass into a huge mash-tub beneath & the stems are carried out upon a platform to be rinsed & afterwards pitched off out of the way by a workman who stands by with pitchfork in hand.
The mash-tub is 18 feet In diameter & has a capacity of 2,500 gallons. It is provided with a large sweep with rake teeth, which is kept constantly in motion stirring up the juice & pulp as It falls into the tub. When filled & properly stirred with its due proportion of water, the mash Is passed through pipes to the fermenting tanks on a lower floor. Of these there are 12 of a capacity of 5,000 gallons each, or an aggregate capacity of 60,000 gallons. After remaining in the tanks for 48 hours, to allow proper fermentation, the mass is allowed to pass through flumes sunk in the floor & leading from each tub to an underground cistern holding 11,000 gallons. From this it is pumped at once to the top of the building, where it passes into a still with a 6,000 gallon capacity. This still is an immense tub similar to the others, though much higher & divided into three compartments, one above the other, with appliances for steaming & refining. Here, in due course of time, the mass of fermented pulp changes to spirits, in its passage respectively through the 3 compartments & comes out through a pipe beneath & is connected into the final reservoirs. These are 3 in number &g hold each 1,613 gallons. They are kept under Government lock & key & are not accessible even to the managers of the distiller.

Having passed through the whole process from the grape to the brandy, some general remarks concerning the; workings of the establishment may be in order. The force of operatives consists of Mr. Tarbox, the proprietor, Mr. Lucian Curlis, the Superintendent, our genial friend, T Jeff White, bookkeeper & about 30 workmen altogether, in the various departments. When in full operation, the establishment will consume about 70 tons of grapes daily, turning out for the same period 15,000 gallons of spirits. This distillery is the largest in Southern California & one of the largest in the State. It has required a vast amount of pluck & capital to set such a mammoth concern at work & it is to be hoped that Mr. Tarbox will be amply rewarded for the step which he has taken. The importance of such a distillery to this section of the State cannot be overestimated, furnishing as it does a ready market for one of the principal products & securing the wealth in our midst which would otherwise find its location in San Francisco or some of the larger cities.
After viewing the distillery thoroughly & watching the manufacturIng process in its full operation, the company were invited into a house adjoining, where a fine collation was in waiting, presided over by the eminent colored artist George Van Buren. The viands had ample justice do to them & the health of Mr. Tarbox & the success of his enterprise was drank in many a bumper of sparkling champagne. The occasion, altogether, was a most happy one & we can only hope that the prosecution of his enterprise will be as pleasant throughout for Mr. Tarbox & his friends as the commencement proved yesterday.

. 1874 Nov 4 - A DISTILLERY SEIZED - Collector Sedgwick has seized, for violation of internal revenue laws, the distillery of ET Tarbox, located at Los Angles, together with some 10,000 gallons of fruit brandy therein. Ref: SF Bulletin.

. 1875 Mar 3 - THOSE MATERIALIZED SPIRITS, The Great Seizure of Grape Brandy at Los Angles. I M Foulke, Supervisor of Internal Revenue, who with Suv. Collector Mayhew recently seized the great grape brandy distillery at LA, a arrived in this city today. It appears from a statement made by Mr. Foule that 6 pipes of brandy were shipped from the distillery to SF in December last & the stamps on these pipes were inspected & found to be correct. During the month of January the same pipes bearing the stamps already used once before, were again received in this city. The violation of the law by the use of old stamps, aroused the suspicion of the Revenue authorities here & the LA distillery was therefore under strict surveillance.
The distillery, as stated in our special dispatch from LA, stands in the name of E T Tarbox & was under the management of Lucien Curtis. In explanation of the reason why the illicit manufacture of brandy was not discovered by the local authorities, it is stated that there was no storekeeper at the institution. The law does not provide for a storekeeper in a grape brandy distillery but tin the case of a grain distillery this order is deemed an imperative necessity. The reason given for the failure to provide storekeepers for the grape brandy distilleries, that several farmers manufacture grape brandy & it would be a great hardship on them to pay for a storekeeper.
The distillery at LA manufactured more brandy that the united products of all the other distilleries in the State. The Revenue authorities arrive at the yield of a distillery in this way. The capacity of the institution is surveyed; a certain number of boilings is allowed; the time required for fermentation is noted; & the owner or manager is obliged to report the production each months under oath.While searching the LA distillery, the Supervisor & his deputy came across a pipe 18 inches under the ground, in a little room adjoining the receiving room of the institution. This ice lead to rubs 150 feet from the building. It is unnecessary to go not all the details. Suffice it to say that tin tubs buried under the grounded in pipes concealed in hay, about 75,000 gallons of body was discovered. The institution was seized & the work of pumping out the brandy was forthwith commenced. As fast as the brandy is removed from he tanks it is placed in fire-proof back warehouses, 2 of which have been leased by the Government.
The only people who deserve any sympathy in this affair are the small producers to whom the distillery people are indebted. Two years ago the grape growers lost heavily by the burning of the distillery. Curtis, then the owner, being unable to pay his debts. An now by the attempt on the part of the distillery people to swindle the Government, the producers are again losers in sums caring from $200 to $2,000. Curtis is a man who held public offices in this State about 20 years & finally drifted into the distillery business a few years ago.

. 1876 Apr 5 - CROOKED BRANDY, TRAIL OF THE LA DISTILLERY CASE
On Nov 4, 1874, 13,000 gallons or grape brandy made were seized in the name of E T Tarbox as proprietor & Lucien Curtis as manager. Huge Hoffman allowed the party to bond the spirits & to go on & work up the material on hand & that contract for. On Feb 26 the same deputy made another seizer of 61,700 gallons which was turned over to the US Marshall. Since the time the distillery & costs have remained in charge of keepers appointed by the Marshall. The defendants wee arrest a year ago this month & in June the USGrand Jury found a true bill of indictment against them.
Mr. Van Duzer made the opening statement against L Curtis on 13 counts … of which large quantities of distilled sports had not been paid & removing & concealing the same. He failed to keep looks as required by law & no entries were made. some months afterwards another visit was made by Revenue officers discovering a large quantity of concealed spirits. Seizure & confiscation of the property. … Large quants of sports had been surreptitiously removed from the premises was shown by the fact that a number of barrels had been traced to a chart in SF with stamps & labels on them which proved beyond all question that they had been shipped by the defendant.
Collection HW Mayhew submitted a notice given by ET Tarbox that he was about opening a fruit distillery in LA, as required by law.

. 1876 Apr 12 - Examination of Mr. Tarbox resumed. He testified: The first product of the sill was not gaged by me. Prior to the seizure of Nov 1874, he made about 10,000 gallons of singlings. After that seizure I made some 15,000 gallons of brandy. Tax was paid upon a part & the remainder was stored in the ware house. I had on hand at the time of the 2nd seizure, about 11-12,000 g. of brandy. It was sold to the LA Brand. Feb 25 when the 2nd seizure was made, I did not register my still as not being in use up to the time, as I intended to treat my singling.
At that time because I had as much brandy on hand as I could impose of for some months & I had no money to pay for the necessary casks required. I went to a wholesale him in this city & asked them to write of NY & see what California brandy was worth which they did & told me it was worth form $1.50 to $2 a gallon. I then went to the Bank of California & explained matters & they gave me a letter of credit on the LA Bank. This was in February. I then bought 200 barrels & 100 pipes from J M Curits for the purpose of shipping the spirits.
The only reason that I did not double on the singles was because I had up to the time money. He had no other interest in the establishment except his salary, $300 a month. There had been no spirits sent from the distillery about the time the sports were seized at Spadra. They could not have been sent without my knowledge. All my brandy was stored n the warehouse which I described in my application. I know nothing about the Spadra seizure except what I have heard from others. I have heart the description of the packages seized ex-Orizaba. I need had any such spirits sent from my distillery as those described by the Gov. witnesses.
the cisterns are instructed by the advice of Mr. Curtis who recommended me to put them down in order to store the rain water, which he said was the best thing to reduce brandy with. They were underground to prevent the water from getting putrid. The pipe was used for the purpose of catching the water from the roof of the receiving & fermenting room. The pipe went 5 feet underground to prevent it interfering with the foundation.
Mr. Tarbox testified that it would take 2 weeks to fill the underground tanks. There was no secrecy in emptying the singling into them. It was known to everybody around the distillery. The storage buildings were not locked in the daytime. Neither the distillery nor the rectifier was in operation at the time of the seizure. Had the distillery been left alone until May all the spirit stock would have been accounted for to the Gov. authorities. Witness said that upon the singling being gauged he made a tender to the Revenue Dept. of duty amount to $40,000 but the tender as refuse … If Mr Curtis had reported the 3,200 gal. instead of 2,332 gal. of singling, it would appear as if were working on juice of the original material.
The spirits were stored in those places to keep them cool. There was no hay put over the pipes, to my knowledge. I was never absent from the distillery more than 3 hours in a day during the time ti was running. I had a rough memorandum of the number of empty packages, but not of the filled ones. No one could take any packages out of the distillery without my knowledge. I would miss he packages. I had an account of all the packages on hand a the end of October. I cannot say how much brandy I sold to Curtis who told me about using rain water. He called it the French method, to keep the rain water for a year or two & use it to reduce the brandy to proof. which would be illegal but there is now law against adding water or burnt sugar at the distillery. The rainy season at LA is very short.
An offer was made to get the spirits released I had a copper still in the refinery. I do not know that its capacity is 900 gallon. I was authorized to produce at the refinery by redistilation are grape brandy, pure spirits & alcohol. In Jun 1875, Sam. Hubbard of San Rafael, introduced Mr. Tarbox to the firm that could ship some of 60,000 gallons of sports East.

. 1876 Apr 13, Thurs. J M Curtis testified, to rectify brandy & free it from fusil oil & other impurities, Witness had made distillation study, studied chemistry & graduated as an analytical chemist. It is a great object to distill grape juice as rapidly as possible into singlings to prevent the pomace being destroyed. the color of singling come from the still is white. The light sherry color in singling is attributed to the wood casks. Witness Mayhew's opinion it would take about 30 days to double 31,000 wine singling into to grape brandy. Lady is worst at present $1.50 per gallon. Mr. Coghland put a few handfuls of hay on top to keep off the sun. PJ White testified the underground cisterns were put down openly, everyone could se them in the course of construction. He was employed as weighted because I spoke Spanish.

. 1876 Apr 20, Thus. The defeat of Government against Curtis & Tarbox is gratifying or otherwise just. There are many circumstances connected with the Avenue law & enforcement which incline fair mined men to sympathize with those those subject to its conditions especially when they fall into the hands of officers on charges of violating those conditions. The Revenue law supposes a distiller to be a thief & its is the custom of Revenue officers to on the assumption that the law is correct.

It is quite probable that the business of the LA Distillery was conducted on the cranked order. But the Government couldn't prove it & we are inclined to rejoice over the result of the trail.

Much Ado About Nothing. After a great deal of dust & feathers, expense, loss, inconvenience& the subsequence tail of one of the proprietors of the Lost Angeles distillery, growing out of the seizure of the establishment on a complaint of violation of International Revenue Law, the conclusion has been reach that no illegal act has been committed. The Judge before whom the case was tried was not in accordance with the law. A new trail will probably be granted Mr. Curtis & the result will be the total acquittal of the defendant. Mr. Tarbox, another one of the proprietors was indicted on 3 counts precisely similar on which Mr. Curtis was acquitted, it is not likely that he will be brought to trial. … for all the damage to farmers vineyardist who supplied the grapes, there is no recourse.The Government makes no restitution for losses it inflicts upon citizens.

. 1876 Jun 1 - Yesterday the fruit growers held a meeting at the County Court room for the purpose of making a disposition of the indebtedness of E. T. Tarbox to them. About 25 creditors were present. Thirteen of these signed, an agreement to accept 60¢ on the dollar, with one year's time, in payment in full, for the purpose of following Mr. Tarbox to start a distillery & rectify during the ensuing year. The general feeling of the creditors present was in favor of giving an opportunity for the recovery of Mr. Tarbox's fortune. There was an almost unanimous feeling in favor of giving him a fair chance to renew business again & the best wishes of the majority of his creditors are with him. He is an able business man, & we join in the kind wishes of his friends.

Notes:

Emma Amanda Young was the daughter of Jane Terry & George Young.

. The Mormons were industrious & had accumu­lated property & built homes, but were forced to leave everything & flee for their lives into Illinois.
It seemed that, that part of the Constitution of the United States "to allow all mento worship God as they saw fit" was entirely forgotten by the Government Officials, where the Mormons were concerned. There was much sickness among the people due to lack of food &shelter as it was bitter cold November weather when they were driven from their homes. George was one who answered to the call of death in the winter of 1838, at Quincy, Adams, Illinois.
Try to picture if you can, the sad plight of this young widow, only 19 years old, left with a small son to provide for as well as herself to look out for, under such unfavorable conditions.
She was fortunate, indeed, when George Young asked her to marry him. They eventually rejoiced over the arrival of a little daughter, Emma Amanda, born February 23, 1841, at Calhoun, Jersey County, Illinois.
The mob persecutions went from bad to worse in Illinois.To show just a few of the unmerciful treatments these people had to endure, although innocent on any misdemeanor, let me quote a few lines from.the book:
"Essentials of Church History" page A153 "On one occasion some of the
citizens of Nauvoo, Illinois, went out into the country about ll miles to harvest wheat. While engaged in their work they were surrounded by a mob who ransacked their wagons, seized their weapons, & then took them, one at a time & brutally beat them with hickory goads. When they asked why they were treated in that manner, the answer was given that they had committed no offense, but they were 'Mormons' & were gaining too much of a hold in
that state."

Finally, the Saints could not stand against the mobs any longer & so under such pressure, President Brigham Young gave the orders to move westward into the state of Iowa. George & Jane, with the 2 children, crossed the Mississippi River, perhaps on the ice, as many did as it was January of 1846, to make a temporary camp on Sugar Creek, Iowa.
The weather was extremely cold & stormy, & a great number of the people were without proper clothing & necessary shelter. Many of the wagons were without covers. Several members of the camp died from exposure & lack of proper care. The roads were almost impassable because of the constant storms. At this time there were some 400 wagons on the road. Somewhere along this toilsome journey over the plains of Iowa, George Young became very ill & died in the fall of 1846. For the second time in a few years, Jane was left a widow. She was ill herself, but for the children's sake, she hung to life to do what she could for them.
. . . Emma had got better of the canker & was going to school. [mouth/tongue ulcers.] She was nows 7 years old. It was a great trial for such young children to be left without parents. Emma Amanda, with the Hewards came in the company with Zerah Pulsipher. After grandfather Parshall came o see how they were getting along & told them he thought they could do better if they moved to Draperville where most of the Terry's were located, so they did in March 1855. At 17 years old Emma Amanda at that she entered into plural marriage with her first cousin, Parshall Adam Terry (the oldest son of Jacob Terry) & married him as his second wife.

Parshall Adam Terry & his second wife, Emma Amanda Young, left Utah about 1861, driving 6 teams of mules over the High Sierra mountains, & settling in Marysville, California, where he engaged in the merchandise business, selling to the gold miners who were working the "Mother Lobe",
He remained there about seven years when he decided to return to the Middle West. Not wishing to drive over the mountains again, he took his family by boat from San Francisco to the Isthmus of Panama, then known as the Isthmus of Darien. Crossing the Isthmus by land, they again sailed for New York by ship, & thence by train to St. Louis, Missouri. "They remained in St. Louis only a year or 2, as the mother 'did not rear her 6 children on the city streets.' They moved to Dansa, Illinois, where he again took up merchandising, selling for cash only. This was during the panic years after the Civil War, & because he alone refused to allow credit to his customers, mention is made of this fact in the County History. He operated under the firm name of P. A. Terry & Co.
Even though Parhshall Terry Jr. had reached the age of 53 years, he decided to take up the medical profession himself. Leav­ing the store to be operated by his wife & sons, he went to St. Louis where he studied medicine for 3 years. He selected Aitchison, Kanas as the place to begin is medical practice, but the then moved San Francisco, California, where he remained & practiced his new profession until 1906, when he & his wife were ruined financially by the great earthquake & fire. He made his home for a time in Los Angeles where he lived until his death in 1913.
Emma Amanda Young Terry out lived her husband by 13 years, succeeded in becoming financially independent before her death. Being an excellent seamstress, at the age of 75 years, she began doing piece work for a shirt factory in Los Angeles, at the same time investing her savings in Real Estate. Aided by the physical growth of that city, she benefited by the increase in property values. She died on Sunday, October 10, 1926, having been a self-supporting citizen to the very day of her death. She intensely patriotic & was buried with the flag of the United States in her hands. Her grave may be found in beautiful Forest Lawn, Glenadale, California, quite appropriately near the flag pole, from which the US flag flies daily."
