Here is an excert from Henry Lunts Journal. October 7th 1857. Attended conference again. At the close of the morning meeting I asked President Young if I could have the priviledge of having a young women sealed to me, he said come to my office with her in about an hours time. Accordingly we went at the time mentioned with my wife Ellen and her father and sister Wilson to President Young's office and he conducted us upstairs into a very nice room and sealed Mary Ann Wilson to me for time and all eturnity. Conference closed in the afternoon October 8th. President Young sealed Miss Catherine Winchester late of Bristol (England) to father Whittaker.

Autobiography of Robert Leeming Fishburn . . . On the twenty-eighth of the month we sailed out on board the George Washington, a sailing vessel, there being in the company 816 Saints aboard besides the ship's crew. On our voyage we experienced some storms, but all things considered we had a pleasant one. We landed in Boston twenty-one days after leaving Liverpool, which was considered to be remarkably good time for a sailing vessel. We then traveled from Boston to Iowa City, in the state of Iowa, by railroad, remaining there three weeks. The reason for our having to wait so long was on account of our handcarts not being ready for us on our arrival. . . .
