of whooping cough and black canker (scurvy); according to private journal of Hosea Stout∼Fri 8 May 1846. I was sick & went into the wood being very lonesome…
I was sent for… my little son Hyrum was dying. I found the poor little afflicted child in the last agonies of death. He died in my arms... with the whooping cough & black canker [scurvy]… the 2nd child which I had lost both dying in my arms. I shall not attempt to say anything about my feelings … for my family is still afflicted.

My wife is yet unable to go about & little Hosea my only son now is wearing down with the same complaint & what will be the end thereof.

I have fearful forboding of coming evil on my family yet. We are truly desolate & and afflicted and entirely destitute of any thing even to eat much less to nourish the sick

From the journal of Allen Joseph Stout (Hosea's brother):
Friday the 3rd [April 1846] we started early, but there came a thunder shower so that the road got so muddy that we had to double our teams, and so some got stuck in the mud, and did not get to camp that night. So we kept rolling on from place to place through the mud until the 27th when we pitched our tents in a beautiful grove of timber where we began to make a farm. This place was called Garden Grove. Here it was determined by the council that those who were out of provisions should stop and raise a crop. About these times, the rattlesnakes bit a good many of our animals, and there was a great exposure the Saints were forced to undergo. There one of Hosea's boys died.
