"My father and mother were owners and proprietors of the Angel Inn at Mottram, England. I was just beginning my teen years when the Mormon missionaries came to the Inn for lodging and food. On observing that we had a large reception room, they asked if they might hold a meeting there. My mother really ran the business, as my father had recently become blind...My mother told the missionaries that as long as they were orderly and did nothing disreputable they might hold their meeting there. She also made it plain that she and all of her family were good Christian people well satisfied with their present church and would not be interested in their church in any way. The missionaries held their meeting and as our family had their quarters at the Inn, we could not help but hear the singing. My mother was so enchanted by the opening song that she crept down the hall where she could hear better. After the singing, one of the missionaries gave the prayer. She could stand it no longer and returned to tell father and us children that she had never heard such singing or such a sincere prayer. From then on the missionaries were constant visitors and all of our family were baptized into the Church in 1848. The emigrated from England to New Orleans we purchased a stove and took a boat up the Mississippi River to Council Bluffs, Iowa.

Read Trail Excerpt:
Soon after we got into the mountains my father became ill with what was known as Mountain Fever or Spotted Fever, this was caused by the bite of the wood tick. Wood ticks lived on rodents such as squirrels, rabbits etc. They were on the grass, sage brush and all other bushes so they were hard to avoid. Father became increasingly worse day by day and although he was not fit for travel they had to make him as comfortable as possible and keep up with the rest of the wagon train. Mother knew that father was not going to recover but she hoped and prayed that he would just get to Utah before it happened. If she could only get him to Utah so he could be buried in what to her was the hallowed soil of Zion, she would be greatly comforted. But he couldn't endure that long and died in Wyoming, a days journey from the Utah border. But mother couldn't stand to leave him there so we carried him with us until we crossed the Bear River on the Utah side. There in a little opening in the mountains, assisted by the men of our company we dug a lonely grave. We wrapped the now frail body of our father in a sheet and then in a blanket and left him casketless in the dry earth...After a short service, sorrowing but none the less comforted that he had reached Zion we left him there and made the rest of the journey to Salt Lake City.
When the Ogdens arrived in Salt Lake City, Brigham Young helped them get located. Sarah rented a small room on Main Street where she sold the cloth and other notions she had brought with her. Esther and Lucy, the twins, did baby-sitting for some of Brigham Young's wives and the two families became very well acquainted. That is how Esther's sister Lizzie met her husband. Brigham Young's wife was Clara Decker and when they came to Utah on July 24, 1847, she brought her younger brother, Perry Decker, with her. He met Elizabeth at his sister's home and later married her. So while they were in Salt Lake, members of the Ogden family spent considerable time at the Lion and Beehive Houses.
