DAVID HAROLD PEERY - Entrepreneur, Merchant-Banker, Politician, Church Leader

Emigrated with surviving family members from Burke's Garden, Tazewell County, Virginia in 1864, during the Civil War. In eighteen months, six family members had died, mostly of typhoid fever, including his wife and two children, his parents, and father-in-law. Only David, his young 4-year old daughter, Letitia; mother-in-law, Louisa Ward Higginbotham; and three of her children, Simon, Elizabeth Letitia and Frank survived.

On June 4, 1864, they left Omaha, Nebraska in three covered wagons, each with ox teams, with an independent company (Captain William Pritchett). They crossed the plains, arriving in Salt Lake City, Utah Territory, on August 31, 1864. They eventually settled in Ogden, Weber County, Utah.
