" We also picked up others on the road. A Brother Chapman and family joined us at Genoa with wagon and team. A sister, left by some former company, was taken by us at Wood River and brought to the Valley,>>>> also a family named Cherrington, whom we found at Green River, who had much sickness and had lost three children by death and another, a daughter, then sick unto death, but they were so anxious to come to the Valley that we took them in and brought them along. The sick daughter died in East Canyon a few miles below the foot of Big Mountain and was buried there.<<<<"

..................
The whole family was ill while they were crossing the plains. Captain John Smith decided to leave this family in Greenriver so they could recover their strength and continue to the Salt Lake Valley. It is said John had Mountain Fever. If the children also had Mountain Fever or something else is unknown. Little Hyrum died while this family was at Greenriver. His sister Ester also died while here and sister Lucy died 5 miles out, once the Oscar O. Stoddard Company picked them up 3 weeks after John Smith's Company had left them.
