Alvord, Joseph Bonaparte - (25), born in Michigan Territory, United States Joseph is mentioned in the narrative of Alice Walsh (Strong) of the Martin company: "When the relief help reached us and nearly all of us had been assigned to some wagon I was sitting in the snow with my children on my lap, and it seemed that ther[e] was no chance for me to ride, but before the last teams had left the camp I was assigned to ride in the commissary wagon, and did so until our arrival in Salt Lake City. The young man in charge of the commissary wagon, was, Joseph B. Alvoard; seemed to be well acquainted with frontier and mountain life and realizing my condition of a widow with two children, he helped me early and late to the bes[t] of his ability."  |

Gould, Samuel Jacob - (70), born in Connecticut, United States It is strongly believed that Samuel Gould, age 70, was the rescuer "Bro. Gould" mentioned in the Willie handcart company emigrating journal on November 3, 1856. Although he lived in Southern Utah at the time, a land bounty application places him in Salt Lake City in October 1856. Samuel was a member of the Mormon Battalion at age 60. He traveled between Utah and California twice during the decade of his 60s. It appears his last travel to Utah was in 1862 when he was returning from a mission. He was then 75 years old.  Links: |

Sanderson, Henry Weeks - (27), born in Stafford, New York Tribute by a grandson, posted on familysearch 7/11/2020: My Grandpa Henry
My great great grandfather on my mother’s side was Henry Weeks Sanderson. He grew up in Nauvoo and lived two doors down from the Prophet Joseph Smith’s family. Sidney Rigdon lived between them. He used to play ball with the Prophet as a boy and loved him with all his heart. Henry helped work on the Nauvoo Temple. When Henry was 17 years old he signed up with the Mormon Battalion. He ended up going with the sick to Pueblo, Colorado and then helped several wagon trains of pioneers across the plains. When Brigham Young called for rescue parties to go bail out the Willie and Martin Handcart Companies who were starving and freezing to death in an early winter storm, Grandpa Henry was one of the courageous and obedient who responded quickly to the call and rushed to their aid. He eventually died firm in the faith in 1896 in Fairview, Sanpete County, Utah.  Download
