My brother Hiram started for Oregon in 1847, with quite a large family of boys and girls. He died on Raft River, and was buried in the wagon road, so that Indians should not discover the grave, as it was their habit to dig up the dead for the clothes they were buried in. The widow and family came on, and are now living in the country.
