The Cherrington family was left in an old cabin near Green River. John, Hyrum and Esther were very sick and the Caption of the Wagon Train John Smith left the family there to recover. Three weeks later Oscar O. Stoddard Company collected them to finish this trek.Both children Hyrum and Ester died while in this place.
Lucy died 5 miles west in Woodriver. Lucy's death was the only death the Oscar O. Stoddard company had. She may have been brought along to the valley to be buried. Though I have not found records of a burial yet.
