After purchasing a Record, the owner should write his or her own name on the title page in front. The first form, “Family Record,” is a record of the Births, Marriages and Deaths in each family, the parents’ names being first, the children following. One page is sufficiently large to accommodate one family only. The relationship between the owner of the Record and the families recorded can be entered on the top of each page, after the word “Relationship,” as follows: Father’s family, Son’s family, Daughter’s family, Paternal Grandfather’s family, Maternal Grandfather’s family, and so on. The relationship between families can be easily ascertained by the folios on each margin of the page. For instance, a man records his father’s family and then his own family. Opposite his name in his own family he enters the folio, on the left hand side of the page, on which his father’s family is recorded, and opposite his name as a child in his father’s family he enters the folio, on the right hand side of the page, on which his own family is recorded, thus referring one to the other as parents and children in every family recorded. It is not absolutely necessary to record the oldest family first, as the use of the folios obviates this necessity. In case of persons being married in Europe, the date, etc., of that marriage should be entered under the proper headings; the second marriage, in the Endowment House, or Temple, is provided for in the “Sealing Record.” When persons are married the first time in the Endowment House, or Temple, the dates, etc., can be entered in the “Family Record” as well as in the “Sealing Record.” Where a man has more than one wife, he should open a page in the “Family Record” for each family, placing himself and wife at the head. The second form is a “Church Record,” and is in two parts, and is a record of Blessings, Baptisms, Confirmations, Ordinations, Endow- ments, Patriarchal Blessings, and Second Anointings. The folio of the family to which the person belongs should be entered on the left margin. In future ordinations (see Note under head of Remarks), or in case of persons being excommunicated, the fact can be so stated, if desired, under the head of remarks,” in the second part. The third form is a “Sealing and Adoption Record,” and is a record of the name of person sealed, birth, when, where and by whom sealed or adopted, name.of heir or proxy, witnesses and recorder, and under head of “Remarks,” insert “Sealed” or “Adopted.” The folio of the family to which the person belongs should be entered. The manner of entry is as follows: The man’s name, date of his birth, etc., are entered first; on the next line following, the woman’s name and birth; then follows the names of children sealed or adopted. The name of heir or proxy acting for children who are dead, opposite the name on the same line, under its proper headings, also names of witnesses and recorder. The date of death can be entered under “Remarks.” In the “Record of Baptisms and Endowments for the Dead,” enter the name of the dead and the folio of the family to which such person belongs; if not a member of the family, no folio is needed. The manner of entry is as follows: First, name the person dead, date, etc., of birth and death, when and where baptized. If a member of the Church before death, the date of first baptism; if not a member of the Church before death, the date, etc., when they were baptized for. Then follows the name of heir or proxy and relationship of such heir to the dead. For instance, the dead, being the father or uncle to the person doing the work as heir, under the head of “Relationship,” say “Son” or “Nephew.” Then follows the names of persons officiating in the Baptisms and Confirmations, witnesses and recorder. In the Endowments, the date, where, and name of person obtaining endowments for the dead. Ordination, state the office conferred, and name of person who was mouth in ordaining. The “Sealing Record” fully explains itself, and requires no other instructions than those contained in the headings. ----- new page (MSS139_F2_p008.jpg) ----- new page (MSS139_F2_p009.jpg) FAMILY RECORD. ----- new page (MSS139_F2_p010.jpg) FAMILY RECORD FROM NAMES BIRTHS MARRIAGES Fo.

Santaquin August 17th 1887 A Short Biography of George Halliday writen by himself on the above I George Halliday am the Third Child, But the second Son, of Stephen and Jane Halliday. I was born April the 17th 1823 in the Towne of Trowbridge, County of Wiltshire, England. From my earlist recolection i was Religiously inclined, and often when but a Small boy. i went in Secreat and prayed to God to make me a good boy. and my desire was, that when i became a man i might be a Preacher of the Gosple. Although i attended regulerly to my Sunday School and prayer meetings, and had many Sereious feelings I like many other boys. was full of life and play, and often forgot my Sunday feelings, and although i was not wicked. i was worldly. and often did i feel Sorrowfull and repent and renew my vows to God if he would forgive me i would try and Serve him better. Thus my youthfull days was spent trying to be Religious. I became a member of the Baptise Church when young. and an active worker in the Sunday School and Choir of that Church, and Sometimes i went into the Country and took the lead of prayer meetings. when i was only Seventeen years old. when i was twenty one years old I married. Miss Mary Ann Case. She was a very Sedate. religious. and loving young lady. we was married at Trowbridge Old Church. My Father went to Church with us. and gave me my wife as best man. we was married on April the first 1844. Soon after this my oldest Brother John Halliday. Came from Nauvoo, as a missionary of the Latter day Saints. ----- new page (MSS139_F2_p066.jpg) Page . he convinced me of the truth of the Gosple he taught. and i was Baptised by him November 10th 1844 and confirmed the same day. i was the first fruits of his minsterry. and the only person for many miles that was then willing to be a Latter day Saint. I prayed and tryed to be a faithfull member of the Church. and God blessed me with a Testemony of the truth and i rejoiced greatly. On the 16th of Feburry 1845 my Brother ordained me to the office of of a Preist in the Aaronic Preisthood, and I went and preached the Gosple. thuse doing the very thing i had desired So much to do when i was a boy. and the Lord blessed me with his Spirit to the convincing of many persons to the truth. I Baptised a number of persons at a place called Road. Sumersetshire. and my Brother organized a Branch of the church there. August the 12th 1845 I was ordained an Elder. and I worked at my trade as a Plasterer and travled and Preached Sundays and weeknights. often travling ten miles after a hard days worke to hold meeting and not get home again untill the middle of the night.

I, George Halliday, am the third child, but the second son of Stephen and ane Halliday. I was born April the 17th, 1823 in the town of Trobridge, county Wiltshire, England. From my earliest recollection I was religiously inclined, d often when but a small boy, I went in secret and prayed to God to make me a od boy; and my desire was, that when I became a man, I might be a preacher of e Gospel. Although I attended regularly to my Sunday School and Prayer meet- ngs, and had many serious feelings, I, like many other boys, was full of life d play, and often forgot my Sunday feelings, and although I was not wicked, was worldly, and often/did I feel sorowfull and repent and renew my vows to God f He would forgive me I would try and serve Him better. Thus my youthfull days as spent trying to be religious. I became a member of the Baptist Church when young man, and an active worker in the Sunday School and Choir of that Church; nd sometimes I went into the country and took the lead of prayer meetings when was only seventeen years old. When I was twenty-one years old I married Miss ary Ann Case. She was a very sedate, religious and loving young lady. we were arried at Trowbridge Old Church. My father went to Church with us, and gave me y wife as best man. We were married on April the first 1844. Soon after this, y oldest brother, John Halliday, came from Nauvoo, as a missionary of the Latter ay Saints, He convinced me of the truth of the Gospel he taught, and I was aptised by him November 10th, 1844 and confirmed the same day. I was the first ruits of his ministery, and the only person for many miles that was then wili- ng to be a Latter-Day-Saint. I prayed and tryed to be a faithful member of the hurch, and God blessed me with a testimony of the truth, and I rejoiced greatly. n the 16th day of February 1845, my brother ordained me to the office of a riest in the Aronic Priesthood, and I went and preached the Gospel, thus doing he very thing I had desired so much to do when I was a boy. and the Lord blessed e with His spirit to the convincing of many persons to the truth. I Baptised number of persons at a place called Road Sumersetshire, and my brothers rganized a branch of the Church there. August the 12th 1845, I was ordained an lder by my brother John. and I worked at my trade as a plasterer and traveled nd preached Sundays and week-nights. Often traveling ten miles after a hard ays work to hold meetings and not get home again until the middle of the night. ut I was up and at work by six the next morning. During this time, my wife was ick with Consumption and after thirteen months and a half she died, May 13th 1845; eaving me feeling very lonely and sorrowful. But I still kept preaching the ospel and Baptising and God gave the testimony of His spirit to the converts nd they bore testimony of the truth which made me rejoice. January the 1st. 846, I was appointed traveling Elder in the Cheltenham Conference under the residency of Elder John Johnson. I labored there until June 1st. 1847, when was appointed to travel and preach in Birmingham Conferance under Elder yrus H. Wheeler, where my labors was blessed and I made many friends. While I as traveling in the Cheltenham Conference, I became acquainted with Miss Sarah ane Kendall, and on October 4th, 1847, we were married at St. James Church, irmingham. My wife was the daughter of Joseph and Elizebeth Smart Kendall nd was born at Higham Licestershire, England. She is one of the most faith- ul Later-Day-Saints I ever knew. On the Second of January 1848, I was appointed o preside over the Bristol Branch and travel in the South Conference under the residency of my brother John Halliday, and all one brother could do for another to teach him the Gospel and help him in his duties, my brother did for me, and can say truly that in all our labors and travels together in the Church, we ----- new page (MSS139_F3_p005.jpg) [left side of page cut off] Page ever seemed to missunderstand each other but always agreed and loved each ther truly. We labored together over two years, when he was released to eturn to America.In 1850 I was appointed to preside over the South Con- erence; afterwards I was set apart as Paster over the South, Dorset and andand conference, and the five years I labored and preached in that part f England, I was greatly blessed, for many hundreds of persons joined the hurch, and the spirit of God was enjoyed much by the Saints, and many onderful miracles was manifested, more than I can write now, but I will ention one in particular. One Sunday evening after preaching to a crowded ouse full of people, Sester Ware came and asked me to go to her house and dminister the laying on of hands on her son that was very sick. It being ver three miles to her house, and I was all wet with sweating and tired, I old her I could not go; but she pleaded so earnestly for me to go, that I elt anxious to help her and her son. So I took my pocket-handkerchief and ave it to her, and told her to go home and lay it on the child and pray, nd the Lord would heal her son. She took the handkerchief and went home othing doubting. She was met at the door of her house by the family, who aid their brother was dead and they had all left him up-stairs. The mother aid I have Brother Halliday's handkerchief and his promise that God would eal my child, and I am going to do as he told me. So she went up-stairs o the child, and to her it appeared dead, but she put the handkerchief over he child and prayed, and God heard her and healed her boy, and the next day he child was able to be down stairs and eat with the family, and the boy got ell and came to Utah. In January 1853, I was released from my field of Labor nd told to emigrate with my family to Utah, and on February 5th, 1853, I set ail from Liverpool in the Ship Jersey, having been appointed to take charge f the Company of 314 Saints. The owner and Commander was Captain Day, and pleasant time we had with him on the voyage, in fact we became such warm riends that he promised me or any one of my friends that we should travel n his ship at any time free of charge. We crossed the plains in wagons s others did at that time. I had with me my wife Sarah and her sister rudence and two children, Joseph W. and Vernee L. A large volumn might be ritten of our experiences on the sea and plains, ( but I leave that for thers to write, as I have never had an education, all the schooling I had was the Sunday School, and the first time I attempted to write, my father ould make letters and figures on paper with a piece of lead and I had to earn their names, and then with pen & ink I covered the marks over, so all know, I learned in Sunday School and in this Church.) We arrived in Salt ake City September 24th, 1853. November 17th, 1853 my wife Sarah and her ister Prudence was sealed to me by Brigham Young in Salt Lake City.

We all pre- ared to move south, and I burried lots of my things such as books way deep in he earth, and then piled up some dry wood in each room of my house preparatory o burn up every thing on short notice.

On Thursday last Sister (Warrs or) Wards? called me to lay hands on her child for it had been ill for three weeks and she had been to the doctors and they could do no good to the child. I was so situated that I could not go then to see the child so I told her so and she said that if I would but come and look at the child it would be well. But even that I could not do but I saw that her faith was great so I said " take my handkerchief and where the child has pains lay that handker- chief on it and it will be well." So she took the handkerchief home. The first thing thing that her husband said was that the child was dead. "Well" said the wife, "if it is I will put the handkerchief on it." But the child was not dead so she wrapped up the child Possible error in dates! ----- new page (MSS139_F3_p029.jpg) Page (4) and in the morning the child was practically well and free from pain and continued

Saturday I went about a Chapel that was to let in (Bedminster- Badminster) ----- new page (MSS139_F3_p041.jpg) Page (1) But it was so far from the Saints that I did not take it. I still continued to baptize and the work of God continued to spread and His power was made known among the Saints so that Brother atts leg that had been bad for nine years and the Lord was pleased to heal it. Also Sister Bouncell? had a child that was born blind and it was now four years old and Brother - P.115 Ackwell or Hackwell anointed it only once and its eyes was opened so it could see as well as anyone. And on the 6th of July, 1849 my dear Boy died after one weeks illness. As to the work of God it still prospers so hat by November our number was three or four hundred. I also went into Devonshire at a place called Southmalton where I preached for three weeks in that place and the places around it. At the end of three weeks I baptized and organized 18 Saints into a Branch of the Church to be called the Northmolton Branch and after that I sent down (Burns (Frost) to labor there. As no- thing of importance happened. I have not wrote my every day's life but have passed over some time, but today which is the first of November, 1849, I am just recovered from a fit of illness. As there will not be anything new every day. I shall pass over those days which is of no importance. the 8th of November Brother John came from ----- new page (MSS139_F3_p043.jpg) [left side of page cut off] Page (2) Liverpool and said that Brother Pratt said I was to preside over the Conference when Brother John left. Brother John left Bristol on the Friday, Novem- ber the 9th and as the Bristol Branch is now so large I have divided it into four districts and appointed an elder over each district. mber 14. - I went to Wells (I believe this is Wales ) and I spent two or three days there and as it was heir Conference on Sunday so I stayed and was here at Conference and a good time we had. also went to Bontipool? I left Wells- Wales, nd on Monday the 19th of November I attended a ouncil meeting. November 20th Brother (Derm, (Dorne?) came to Bristol and he wished me to go with him to Devon and I wanted to stay home with the Saints for one night so we did not go that day. On the 21st I went with him to Wolvercome where I stayed for two days and then I came to Bristol by the packet <116> the 25th I went to Bridgewater to see Brother Hart or (Herd) that I had sent there to preach, for e had baptized eight into the Church so that I had o confirm them members as Brother (Hart or Herd) was only a Preist so I stayed with the Saints at lace not given) for a day or two to teach them the order of the Kingdom so that they may know how to act as I organized them into a Branch ----- new page (MSS139_F3_p045.jpg) [left side of page cut off] Page (3) and ordained Brother John (Hart or Herd to presede ver them. I then came to Bristol on Saturday the 8th of December, 1849, where I found Brother Levi Richards. who wanted to go to Bath so I left home with him and went to Bath that day and also went on to Trowbridge to see Brother John Halliday. As it was so near Conference to make things all ready for that day I came back to Bristol on the Sunday, 9th, and on the 10th I attended Council meeting where and when I appointed Brother John Hackwell to take my place as President of the Bristol Branch when I left which would be on the first of January, 1850 as Brother was going to Zion and I was appointed to take his place as President of the Conference when he left. I stayed at home and spent Christmas with the Saints (with the Saints) <(sic)> at Bristol after which I went to prepare the way before Brother John and the Saints that was going to Liverpool. So after I had made all things ready for them to stay at Birmingham one night I left and went to Liverpool and made all things redy for them and went to the train and waited them in at night. The next morning which was the 2nd of Janerwary 1850, I called to see Brother Pratt and when he saw me he wished me to undertake to araing all the berths in the ship Argo in which he was ----- new page (MSS139_F3_p047.jpg) [left side of the page cut off] Page (4) oing to send out 380 Saints to New Orleans. So I undertook to do it. But it was a very unpleasent thing to do yet there was not one eison that was in the least dissatisfied with he way that I did or with their berth that I ave them. I stayed there until the ship was lf which was on the 10th and then I left iverpool and went to Wolverhampton and there preached to a good company of Saints. The 11th January I went to Birmingham and attended Council meeting there. the 12th I went to Westbroomwick and saw Brother Broomhead and family and the poor old dog was as pleased to see me that he jump- ed and barked and ran as though he was od. I stayed there all night and on Sunday went to Wolverhampton where I preached at night. nday I preached at Westbroomwick and then on the 15th of January I went to my wife who was at her mother's at Higham. After stay- ing there a day or two we left for Birming- ham and after we spent a few days at Sister annon we went to Bristol where we arived all well and found all well with the Saints. ----- new page (MSS139_F3_p049.jpg) [left side of page cut off] Page number not written but should be (1) Page After I came home I wished to see the Saints n the uper part of the Conference as I had been gone so long so on the 23rd of January 850 I went to Bath and attended Council meeting. The next day I went to Trowbridge and preached at night and stayed there until after Sunday we had very good meetings all day Sunday. nday I attended a Council meeting at Trow- bridge. esday Brother Frost and me left Trowbridge and went to (Brimhill (Bromhill) and we found the Saints all in arms with each other for a spirit of Jelisy had got amongs them so we called a meeting and the Saints came together at night and after some trouble we put all things night so that they made a a covenant never to say a word of anything that had been done before that night so that all the past should be forgotten. The next day we went to Lovington and talked to the Saints there and then we went to (Chalvor) Chaford and then to Stoke and then to Ashton where I stayed until after Sunday. Monday I left and went to Milksham and preached at night had good time. The next day went to Trowbridge and preached and the next day after that I went to Cholvar and preached and the house was full. After ----- new page (MSS139_F3_p051.jpg) Page (2) I had done preaching I walked to Warminster to sleep and the next day I preached at Warmin- ster and the Saints seem to be in good spirit. be next day which was the 8th of January I went to Chalverd <(Chalford)> and then to Trowbridge and then to Bath and when I was at Bath I was taken so ill that I was forced to go to bed so they tried to give me a sweat and so they did and on the next day I was worse I had thought to have stopt and preach to them on Sunday but I was so bad that I could not so I left Bath and came to Bristol on the Saturday night and my wife gave me another sweat on Sunday and after that I took 2 Emetic and that was too much for me so that I was so weak that when my bed was making I fainted from weakness. And in the night I was so ill that I did not know whether I would die or not but my wife got up and sent for Brother Hackwell and he came and laid hands on me and I began to mend from that time so that on Tuesday night I went down stars and on the Wednesday the 13th of January I went out for a walk. In fact the Lord was very good to us from time to time in healing us for many of the Saints had been healed by the prayer of faith by the elders so much so that the people of Bristol was surprised to see and hear it. One of the Saint's children was ----- new page (MSS139_F3_p053.jpg) Page (3) born blind and she was a woman of great faith and she brought the child to one of the Elders and he attended to it according to the law of God and its Eys was opened there and then. So it was Published that the eye of one born blind had been opened <-P.119> and minsters Published another to deny it and they said the mother had told them so but the mother Published another bill and denied their statements, that was the statements of the ministers and confirm- ed the statements made in a letter that ap- peared in the Star of 1849 that was written by me. So the work of God prospered more and more. the 4th of March 1850 we opened a new room in Bath and a good room it is. In fact it is as good a room as I could could wish and it was as full as it could be on the Sunday. Brother Marchant preached in the afternoon and I preached in the evening. And I believe much good will be done at Bath yet. rch 6th - My wife is rather unwell today so I have stayed at home to give her a sweat. arch 7th - I left Bristol to go through the Conference and see how things was. So I first went to Brewton from Bristol but on my way I stayed at Farrington and there I saw a young woman who had been in bed ----- new page (MSS139_F3_p055.jpg) Page (4) over the last 12 years and she was lock jawed so that all the food she had to keep her alive was what they could get between her teeth and her mother said that nothing had never passed through her for the last 12 years. There she lies in bed and look just as if she was asleep and she can't move herself or move her hand. I thought she might be unbound from her com- plaint if her parent was in this Church. I then left Farrington and went to Brewton where I found all the Saints well and glad to see me. I stayed at Brewton for a few days I preached to them on Sunday and again on Tuesday. On Wednesday I left and walked to Sherbrone where I stayed for a few days and I went to Bradford and stayed there and preached with them on Sunday and Wednesday and I quite enjoyed myself with Brother Kendall <-P.120> and the Saints with him. I then left Bradford and went again to Sherborne where we had put out bills to say that I would deliver a lecture on "The Soul of Maw" and that was done just to get the people together and then after I had deliver- ed my lecture Brother Kendall was going to give three more lectures and I had a good time at Sherborne and I think there will be a good work done there by and by. While I was at Sherborne I was taken very ill with the piles ----- new page (MSS139_F3_p057.jpg) Page (5) so that I could but just walk and when I left Sherborne it was bad upon me and I felt it much as I had to ride two days following in a wagon so that I was very sore indeed. but I did arrive safe at Southmolton in Devon and there I was received well by Brother Hanham and the Saints there. I stayed there for a week and travelled and preached to them as much as I could and then I left them on the 4th of April, 1850 ----- new page (MSS139_F3_p059.jpg) Page not numbered but should be Page (1) when I arrived home I found all things well that is as well as may be expected for my wife was expecting to go to bed every day. And she was confined with a fine boy on the 21st of April 1850 at 7 in the morning and a good time she had. The name we gave the boy was Joseph Watts Halliday. My wife did well and so did the boy for she was well looked after for my wife's mother was with her and so was my own mother. The work of God is spreading fast here now. It seems as though the Lord had Pourd out his spirit upon the people for we hear baptizing every week. [-] the 10th of May I attended Conference at Newport in company with Brother F. D. Richards and Bro. L. Richards and a good time we had. and on the Monday there was a tea party and all the Bristol singers went over and took their instruments so it all went off well. The next Sunday was our Conference which was held at Bath and Brother L. Snow with the Brother Richards was there and a good Conference it was. We gave Brother Snow ten pounds to help him off to Italy. After the Conference was over we spent some more time together. (over) ----- new page (MSS139_F3_p060.jpg) The text reads Hitterly (phonetically of course). I verified this at Church Historian's Office. Lorenzo Snow left England for Italy at just this time. Bro. Halliday has the real Lancashire brogue which drops and adds H's at well. ----- new page (MSS139_F3_p061.jpg) [left side of page cut off] Page (2) They then left and on the next Sunday I was at Cheltenham to their Conference and Brother Richards was there and so was a great many more elders and such a scene I never saw as it was there for although the place was full of people and to look at as though they were of a respectable class not they insulting all the preachers. In the evening when Brother Richards was preaching they made such a oise that he was obliged to give over the meet- ng was closed and the police would not come keep them still. So we left it to them- slves. When I left Cheltonham Brother Lyon left ith me and come to Bristol and there we aw Brother Taylor. We then went to Bath nd spent the day and after the Conference he work seemed to go on with much more pirit and we continue to baptize. And as thought a visit around the Conference would e of good I left home and walked to temple closed nd there I stayed all night. The next day I was ing to Sherborne but when I had walked me 18 or 20 miles my feet was so bad that could not go all the way to Sherborne and thought I would go to Brewton and then hen I was going between Eveykick and rewton I was so tired I fell down and went ----- new page (MSS139_F3_p063.jpg) [left side of page cut off] Page (3) to sleep by the roadside and when I got to Brewton my feet was dreadful but Sister Barney or Barnett) washed them and cut the listers. and then I was much better. I then alked from there to Sherborne and there I und the Saints all well. I gave a lecture here and did not feel very good at it. I then ent back to Brewton to preach to the Saints ere and we had a good time there. After had stayed there for a day or two I walked Salisbury which is 32 or 33 miles, and hen I arrived there I felt bad and I could ot ride for there was no way to ride on that oad and another thing I wished to save all e money I could for the Saints was so poor ot I had not the heart to ask them for oney. I then went to a place called Redlinch d there I preached on Sunday and a good ne we had. After I done there was two or ee said they would be Baptised and so ey was the next morning. I then left and alked to Burbage and found the Saints all ell. I spent some days with them and on onday I preached to 1,000 people and as I nd received a letter telling me of Brother Orson att arriving again in England and that ere was going to be a tea party got up to elcome him back I wished to be there. ----- new page (MSS139_F3_p065.jpg) Page (4) So I told the people of it and the time was so short that I had to walk all night after preach- ing so when I done a woman of the Church lent me a horse and trap to go the 14 miles and the people in shaking hands with me gave me 25 shillings to help me on the road. After I done preaching I left Burbage and travel- led all night to Bristol and then to Birming- ham and on to Liverpool and all had a good time there at the tea. And as many things was Prest upon me about that time and I was very poorly I neglected to write my Jernell and to tell the truth I was rather tired of it. And as nothing of importance took place I shall pass over many months and begin by saying that I was told by Presedent Richards when in London at a great festvel in June to get ready to go to America in Janerwary 1852 so I went and made Preperations to go and just before the time come Brother Taylor and Brother Richards come to Bristol to see me and ask me to stay another year as the Deseret Manufactur- ing Company wanted to take out some woolen machinery to make cloth and that they wish me to suprentend the buying of it and to bring it to the Valley after they was gone as they wished to go as to get things in order. So I agreed to stay. ----- new page (MSS139_F3_p067.jpg) [left side of page cut off] Feburwary February 10th 1852 My wife was confined with a ine boy and his name is Vernee Lorenzo Walston Halliday at ½ Past Eleven at night and so egestered on the 11 of March 1852. As to the work of the Lord in the South Conference it is rather dead just now and our book agent aving left with some 40 pound of the book money made it all the worse as it left a debt or us to pay. Also we had 24 pounds worth of he (History?) of Joseph Smith to sell and then the emple money to get which was 97 pounds and hat with our usual expenses made the work move ead. Monday, the 5th of April I left Trowbridge for London to attend the General Council or Conference which was held on the 6th and continued until the 10th and on the 11th I left in company with Elder Squires and went with him to Newbury and from there through the upper part of my Conference. At the Conference in London Elder Curtis was sent to labor with ----- new page (MSS139_F3_p069.jpg) [left side of page cut off] Page not numbered (1) me and we labored together very agreably but I had so many things to do I did not keep my Jurnal as I ought . There was a Company organized called the Deserett Manufacturing Company com- pos(e)d of John Taylor and Mr. Russel and Mr. Coward entending to Establish a Sugar factory & a cloth factory in the valey of Salt Lake and I was appointed to Purchas and suprentend all the woolen works so I had 20 thousand dollars to get everything with and I was to have all this ready by the first of Feberwary 1853 to sail from Liverpool so I made all the beast I could and bought all the machinary and hired all the hands 45 in number old and <&> young and <&> had all ready by the time so I with my family and all hands left Liverpool for New Orleans on the 5th of Feberway 1853 in the ship Jersey Cap Day Master and I was Cap of the Company and we had a good passage and was in New Orleans in six weeks from Liverpool I sent the ship's company up to St. Louis as oon as I could get a boat and my family with it and I stayed in New Orleans four weeks wait for some of the machinery that was in nother ship.
