Pioneer women Hendricks line

Here are the last of the pioneer women heritage that I was able to find on the Hendricks side.  The first is Martha Kelley Wilson.  She was the mother of Nick Wilson who wrote "The White Indian Boy."  She was also the grandmother of Mary Ellen Kay and was a major care giver to her as Mary's mother died when she was a young age.   

 Here is a photo we have of Margaret Mustard Sant.  Her biography follows it goes also onto the next page.  The second page also has her mother in law Mary Shaw Sant.

The last person I have is Sarah Chatterly Kay.  She was Mary Ellen Kay's grandmother on her father's side.  

Pioneer ancestors - Drusilla Dorris and Laura Richardson Bess

I recently found a book called Pioneer Women of Faith and Fortitude.  It is compiles by the Daughters of Utah Pioneers. It is a compilation of brief biographies of the pioneer women, often with a photo.  Almost if not every single one of our lines are represented in the book.  I will try to scan and post a few every few days.  Here is Drusilla Dorris Hendricks and Laura Richardson Bess.  They are Juel Josiah's grandmothers on his father's and mother's side.

You will need to click on them to read them.  I am sorry Laura's picture didn't turn out.  I think the Utah  Daughters of Utah Pioneers would have access to it and I will ask for it and the other pictures.  I will post them when I get them.

Here is Ione's obituary.  I learned somethings I never knew about here, but I was really young when she passed away.

Picture of Juel Josiah as Street Sweeper in Oregon

I found a photo of Juel Josiah.  It is labeled on the back to James Alva saying that Juel was a street Sweeper for at least part of the time while he was in Oregon.  Here is a picture of him.  He is the one with the x under him.
