The following entries were placed in the 'Graves along the Trail' file in the history archives of Daughters of Utah Pioneers. These five deaths include the mother, father, brother, wife and son of James Ransom.
John Ransom 71 Years
Charlotte Cramp Ransom 65 Years
Thomas Ransom 42 Years
Elizabeth Clifton Ransom 24 Years (wife of James)
Frederick Ransom 4 Years (Son of James and Elizabeth)
These were all buried shortly after arriving in April 1854 on the ship Windermere. They survived a voyage beset by heavy storms, small pox and reduced rations. They landed at New Orleans but at the campgrounds in St. Louis met a new threat in cholera. We do not know where the graves are but it is believed that they are on the trail outside of St. Louis.
