The next morning they set off with Casper Rickard leading the way.As the oldest son he had been the natural leader, and his brothers and the Kimes were willing to follow .Seven wagons and considerable loose stock made up their little train. It was important to have spare oxen and horses,as well as cows for milk and cottage cheese . Progress went slow, but steady.Before the month of March was out ,many of them were sick,and two of of the little children had died,possibly from cholera .They were John Henry,oldest son of Casper and Catherine,and Delphina,daughter of John and Susaannah . Casper and Catherine had their picture taken at St Joseph , Missouri,where they crossed the Missouri River,out of " the states " and into the territories. FRom there the party followed the Lodi Trail almost due west until they came to the Platte River , to join the usual route along the north bank. At the forks of the trail was a trading post kept by a half -breed.While they were encamped with other small trains at that point, a hired driver stole a mule and went on ahead,but the trader sent a indian to track the thief and bring him back.

I agree with Kay. It is a terrible story. Things do happen like this & I think that many times we just don't hear about them. ~J ----- Original Message ----- From: "jkaywojack" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, January 28, 2010 7:05 PM Subject: Re: [SOUTHERN-CHAT] Crossing The Plains > What a terrible story.
