It was a day in late September, 1848. The creaking of wagons stopped, the dust began to settle. A very pregnant Amy Terry Draper, with her husband Zemira and their children, had reached the end of the long trail from Nauvoo to Salt Lake Valley. This wagon train was the 1848 Brigham Young Company. About two weeks later, the Drapers' fourth child was born. They named her Lydia, after her grandmother Lydia Lathrop Draper, who had died shortly after they were driven from Nauvoo. The family soon moved further south and helped settled Draper, UT. They also lived in Alpine & Rockville. In 1864, 16-year-old Lydia married 21-year-old Bateman Haight Wilhelm. They had seven children. Bateman had a second wife, a widow named Grace. They had six children. The two families helped establish Rockville, Mount Carmel, and Orderville, UT, and Concho, AZ. Lydia was left in Concho when Bateman fled to Mexico because of anti-polygamy laws. Eight years later, he came back to Lydia in AZ. They spent some time living in NM, where Bateman died and is buried. Lydia lived to be 64 years old, lived to know the births of more than two dozen of her grandchildren. She was buried 1912, in the St. Johns Cemetery, in Arizona.
