Oct. 19 Florence, Nebraska Aug. 14 William H. Dame 150 Oct. 29 In this year's emigration of nearly six thousand men; women, and children who had accepted the teachings of the Latter-day Saint missionaries in their respective lands, were converts from the British Isles, the Scandinavian countries, Switzerland and Germany. Others [p.268] from the eastern states also joined the great emigration westward. The Civil War was in progress and the demand for every mode of transportation and needed supplies was continually increasing, especially in Florence, Nebraska, one of the bustling frontier towns. The arrival and departure of organized companies, under the direction of the Church, starting across the plains added to the problem. Some of the Saints were financially able to make the trip through to the valley while others were aided wholly or partially by the Perpetual Emigrating Fund. Upon their arrival in Utah the emigrants received temporary care in the homes of relatives and friends until they were settled in places of their own. Each of the incoming companies strengthened and extended the settlements within Utah's vast territory. Sailed-1863 Port Ship Leader People Landed Apr. 30 Liverpool John J. Boyd Wm. W.

Rice 500 abt. October "The counsel which was also given at Conference, to the people to donate means to send for their poor co-religionists in England, came home to the minds of all present as timely and heaven-inspired. The Spirit bore testimony to it. From the feeling already manifested upon this subject we are justified in expecting a hearty response on the part of the Saints. The counsel should call forth a spirited effort. The object to be accomplished is worthy of the attention and exertions of a great people. It is but a few years since we ourselves came here, weary and destitute fugitives from oppression. Subsequent immigration has not added many rich men to our numbers. But we are united. In union we are rich. The emigration, therefore, of so large a number of poor people, as now await in England their deliverance from Babylon, would show to the world what can be accomplished by a united people under the guidance of wise leadership. Everyone, however humble and poor, can do something towards carrying this counsel into effect." ùDeseret News, Nov. 20, 1867 Sailed-1868 Port Ship Leader People Landed June 4 Liverpool John Bright James McGaw 722 New York June 20 Liverpool Emerald Isle H.

Staines, who had been appointed Church emigration agents this season, left Salt Lake City for the East, with $27,000 to be used for the gathering of the poor. This year about $70,000 was raised for the emigration of the poor Saints, mainly from Great Britain, an extra effort being made on the part of the Saints in Utah for that purpose. A company of sixty-one immigrants, who had been left from some of the companies, in New York, because of sickness, arrived in Salt Lake City, in charge of Fred C.
