Sheri Eardley Slaughter

On a cold February 1846 morning in Nauvoo, eleven-year-old Ellen Partington bid a tearful farewell to her mother while preparing to cross the frozen Mississippi River with her surrogate family. Little did Ellen know that it would be nearly eight years before she saw her family again in the Salt Lake Valley. She would be married with her own son when next she saw the people she loved. Ellen’s mother, Ann, who had been so terribly ill while in Nauvoo, probably believed she was saying her last earthly goodbye to her young daugh- ter. Ann Taylor Partington was one of the first English women to embrace the Mormon faith in Preston, England, where she was baptized in 1837 in the River Ribble. With her husband Ralph and their four children, they emigrated from Liverpool aboard the ship Swanton in January 1843 to join the growing number of Saints in Nauvoo. Shortly after the ship sailed, Ann gave birth to a son they named Joseph Hyrum. Because both Ralph and Ann suffered severely from ague after landing in Nauvoo, they were unable to work to support their family. Willard and Jeanetta Richards, seeing the family’s plight, decided to adopt eight- year-old Ellen. She reluctantly went to live with the Richards family where she hid food to take to her mother who was near death’s door. Another neighbor took care of the Partington’s baby, Joseph Hyrum, who soon died. Although the Richards were kind and loving, Ellen missed her parents, her sisters Catherine and Sarah, and her brother William. Jeanetta Richards’ untimely death caused Ellen to long for her family even more. Mother Ann gave birth to another son, James Taylor Partington, on 3 May 1845 in Nauvoo. Eventually, Ralph regained his health and worked as a carpenter on the temple

where Ellen Partington was sealed to as his daughter. As the Saints prepared to leave their beloved city on the Mississippi, Ellen anxiously watched as her father Ralph built a wagon to take his family on their long journey. However, they could not afford provisions and were unable to leave with the Richards family that frigid February of 1846. Along the cold, snowy trail in Iowa, Ellen watched and hoped for her family to join the pioneer company, but the Partingtons never arrived. Ralph and Ann Partington were among the poor Saints forced from their Nauvoo homes during the summer of 1846. They crossed the river to Montrose, Iowa, knowing they lacked the provisions to continue. Like many Nauvoo Saints, instead of crossing Iowa, they ventured 190 miles down the river to St. Louis in search of jobs. In 1848 at Winter Quarters, Ellen Partington once again prepared for a long journey with the Richards family. For two years, she had vainly waited for her family to arrive. She occasionally received letters or presents from her family in St. Louis, which she cherished, but they also caused her to yearn even more for them. In Dr. Richards’ home, Ellen felt she “had too many bosses” and longed “to run away to St. Louis, if I had known how to do it. . . . I did want to see moth- er so bad, that I could hardly stand it.”1 During the spring of 1848, Ellen scout- ed the banks of the Missouri River for each steamboat from St. Louis to arrive. She would run on board and peer into every face, but “the faces I looked for were not there . . . [and] I gave vent to my feelings in a good crying spell.” Her folks did send her some good clothing and shoes, which helped immeasurably in the journey west. Ralph Partington found work as a carpenter in St. Louis from 1846 to 1853, and Ann Partington gave birth to another son, Heber George Partington, on 14 March 1850. Ellen never saw this brother, as he died in St. Louis on 3 September 1850. The Partingtons remained at St. Louis until 1853 when they had sufficient means to cross the prairie and plains with Captain Moses Clawson’s St. Louis Company. Ellen Partington (Richards)2 married James Moburn Kay on 19 June 1851 in Salt Lake. Finally, in September 1853, Ellen Partington Kay had the “blessed privilege of meeting my father, mother, brothers and sisters, after a separation of almost eight years.” Her mother “held up her hands and thanked God, that He had spared her life to see that day.” Baby Willard Kay was eleven months old when he met his grandparents for the first time. Ellen’s brother “Jimmy” had been a nine-month-old baby when she last saw him in Nauvoo. He was now an eight-year-old whose “black eyes . . . were sparkling with fun.” The poignant story of the Partington family is just one of the many dramas carried out during the Church exodus. Not all Nauvoo families were able to make the 1846 pilgrimage across Iowa. Many families “went south” to St. Louis, where they found employment to pay their passage to Zion. This was just one way in which St. Louis played a vital role during the early “gathering” years of Sheri E. Slaughter: Index of Early LDS in St. Louis, Missouri 51

the Church. There were an estimated fifteen hundred Latter-day Saints in St. Louis during the winter of 1846–47.3 According to the federal census, in 1840, St. Louis had a population of 16,469 (History of the Church, 4:xxiv). During this important period of Church history, Latter-day Saints comprised nearly 10 per- cent of the population of St. Louis.

The Significance of St. Louis to the St. Louis, Missouri, became known to the Latter-day Saints in the late 1830s when Oliver Cowdery, Parley P. Pratt, and three other missionaries passed through on their way to Independence in Jackson County; and since that time, St. Louis has been prominently connected with the history of the Church. Thousands of LDS emigrants landed in America at New Orleans and than trav- eled up the Mississippi by river boat and located temporarily at St. Louis until they earned means to take them to the Salt Lake Valley.4 Following Governor Lilburn Boggs’ 1838 anti-Mormon “extermination order,” many St. Louis residents sided with the Mormons and sympathized with their plight. Several leading St. Louis newspapers condemned the actions of Governor Boggs. When the St. Louis Stake of Zion was organized in 1855, the LDS mem- bership there was numbered at about three thousand. Thousands of missionaries bound for the eastern states and Europe made their way through St. Louis, where the members gave them food, lodging, supplies, and financial aid to continue their journeys. “Throughout the Missouri and periods of the Church, up to the coming of the railroad to in 1869 and beyond, St. Louis was the most important non-Mormon city in Church history. . . . St. Louis has played two important roles in Mormon history—as a city of refuge and as an emigrant cen- ter.”5 Almost every major Church leader of the period was connected with the Church in St. Louis, including , , Heber C. Kimball, , Parley P. Pratt, , Oliver Crowdery, Martin Harris, Frederick G. Williams, Willard Richards, Charles C. Rich, Franklin E. Richards, Ezra Taft Benson, George A. Smith, , Jedediah M. Grant, , , and others.6 These names are not included in the index that follows. In 1855, the Church encouraged European emigrants to sail to the East Coast; and by 1856, the emigrants no longer went through St. Louis on their route to Utah. St. Louis gradually lost its importance to the Church.

The St. Louis Luminary In the interest of the Church, the St. Louis Luminary was a weekly newspa- per published at St. Louis from 22 November 1854 to 15 December 1855. It con- sisted of a four-page folio, each page containing five wide columns. The paper 52 Nauvoo Journal

was edited by Apostle and was filled with details of important Church events and emigration news. The subscription price was $2 per annum. Its motto was “Light Shineth in Darkness, and the Darkness Comprehendeth it not.”7

Rationale for an Index of St. Louis Saints To date, there has never been a compiled inventory of Latter-day Saints who were born, lived, worked, or died in St. Louis, Missouri, during the early his- tory of the Church. Mormons are noted for keeping good records, but such was not the case in early St. Louis. The clerks, as well as the general membership, were constantly coming and going, so the written records, if kept at all, were brief and incomplete. The purpose of the “St. Louis” index that follows is to compile as many names as possible of early LDS members who spent time in St. Louis. This list does not include the thousands of LDS immigrants who simply passed through St. Louis on their way to Nauvoo or Utah. The most important records used in this compilation are the St. Louis Branch membership records for the years 1847–62, which consist of three sepa- rate lists of names. First, there is a list of members who attended the conference in St. Louis on 31 January 1847. Second is a record of members’ deaths from 1849–62. Third is the record of blessings of children 1857–62.

St. Louis Branch Members at the 31 January 1847 St. Louis Conference (StLM) At this conference, the clerks calculated the LDS membership population at 1,478. The list of members present at this conference is a good indication of which members went from Nauvoo to St. Louis in the 1846 exodus. An actual count of the names written by the clerk at the conference is about 599 (includ- ing unnamed children), so obviously many names were not recorded or many are members who did not attend the conference.

St. Louis Branch Death Records 1849–62 (StLD) This record contains approximately 350 deaths. The years “1849–1862” on the book heading are deceiving, as there are only two deaths listed for the year 1849 when the huge cholera epidemic began. From 1 January to 30 July 1849, 4,547 people in the city died of the dreaded disease.8 Certainly hundreds of Latter-day Saints must have died during the year 1849, and those deaths were not recorded. Likewise, only a few deaths were recorded in the years 1850 and 1851, as deaths from cholera continued to plague the city. It appears that the record was kept more consistently starting in the summer of 1852. However, even during that period, not all members’ deaths were recorded. Included in this record were twenty-one deaths at sea aboard the ship Clara Wheeler, sailing from Liverpool to New Orleans, occurring during December 1854 and January 1855. The deaths were recorded on pages eight and nine of the St. Louis Branch death Sheri E. Slaughter: Index of Early LDS in St. Louis, Missouri 53

records. Because many of the families may have settled in St. Louis for awhile, they are included in the index that follows. Sadly, the parents’ names were very seldom included in the children’s death records and were never included in the adult death records.

St. Louis Branch Blessing Records 1857–62 (StLB) From 1847–57, hundreds, maybe thousands, of LDS babies were born in St. Louis. The record of “blessings given to children” did not begin until 1857 when St. Louis was no longer on the emigration route of the Church. By then, most of the members had immigrated to Utah, so only 113 blessings are included. These records are sketchy and incomplete. Many times the names of the parents were left from the record, or a birthday or blessing date was not included. As incomplete as the branch records are, they are the only written docu- mentation of members in St. Louis at the time of the actual events. Most refer- ences to time spent in St. Louis come from reminiscences or biographies, rather than from documents.

Methodology Finding references to St. Louis from thousands of biographies, autobiogra- phies, and reminiscences would be an inconceivable task without computer aids. However, with the help of LDS Family History Suite by Infobases, Inc. on CD- ROM (1996 edition), it was easy to extract references to St. Louis from Pioneers and Prominent Men of Utah,9 LDS Biographical Encyclopedia,10 Church Chronology, Susan Easton Black’s compilation of Early Membership of The Church of Jesus 12 Christ of Latter-day Saints,11 and the DUP compilations Our Pioneer Heritage and Daughters of the Utah Pioneers and Their Mothers.13 With this computer program, the key word St. Louis was used to highlight all persons or events associated with the city. Is such an index of St. Louis names necessary? For anyone doing research on early Mormon families, such an index may be significant. Many children were born to these early Mormon families in St. Louis, and probably just as many chil- dren died there. Many early members never made it to Utah. They may have died on the ocean, on the river, or in St. Louis. Some may have left the Church and simply remained in St. Louis. These “lost” St. Louis Saints may help com- plete someone’s family picture. The index that follows will also give a more com- plete view of how important St. Louis was in the early history of the Church. Is this index complete? Of course not. Hundreds of St. Louis Saints never had their names recorded in any record and were never mentioned in anyone’s biography or reminiscence. This index is only a beginning. Whenever possible, enough information about a person has been included to distinguish him or her from someone else with the same name. Errors may have occurred in the transcription of records; and, of course, there may be errors in the sources used to collect this information. Errors are not the fault of the 54 Nauvoo Journal

Nauvoo Journal. None of the biographical data listed with the names should be taken as fact, since this information was taken from secondary sources. Each per- son mentioned in the index was at one time a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Not all of the people in this index stayed with the Church.
