This is a short excerpt from the biography of Silas Morrell, father of Ernest Alma Morrell. Highlighted is the data about the birth of Ernest.
..."While working his father's sawmill Silas was injured and was unable to do manual labor after the accident. He and his wife owned a farm just east of Fremont where they built a two-story, log house. They also had a dairy farm east of Fish Lake, later known as Silas Springs where in the early summer they herded milk cows to the mountain spring to graze during the warm months. Summers were spent making cheese, and in the fall they took it to Richfield to sell. March 1891 Silas and Luzernia decided to go to a warmer climate in New Mexico, hoping his health would improve.
Luzernia was pregnant and they stopped at Bluff, Utah. She gave birth to her baby in the wagon bed [This child was Ernest Alma Morrell and the date was May 7, 1891 vice May 6, 1892 as indicated on the headstone. The birth date is confirmed in both the WWI Draft registration made in person by Ernest, and the Social Security Death Index.] The next morning when they moved it [the wagon bed], there were three rattlesnakes beneath it in the sand.
Although they stayed in New Mexico for some time, Silas's health never improved, so they decided to return home. They reached Fremont in the latter part of September and hadn't been home long when Silas died on September 26, 1893."
