Name transcribed from A "Grave" Experience at the Mormon Pioneer Winter Quarters Cemetery. By Carlyle B. Jensen and Gail Geo. Holmes, Published by Authors October 1999. Quoted from with permission of Gail Geo. Holmes. The record is a "List of the Deaths and Burials in the Camp of Israel at Cutler's Park, after Sept, 1846. Spellings, dates and etc. are as written in the original record - mistakes and all."
Stated in record above for Martha Hovey wife of Joseph, "Martha A. Hovey; age 32 yrs.; wife of Joseph Hovey; deceased Sept. 16, 1846; disease Bilious Fever; birthplace Portsmouth, N. H.; birthdate 1814; grave no. 5"
Also stated in record above for Jane Hovey daughter of Joseph Hovey, "Jane Hovey; age 2 yrs., 7 mos., 2 days; daughter of Joseph and Martha Hovey; deceased Jan. 19, 1848; disease measles; birthplace Nauvoo, Ill.; birthdate Jan. 17, 1845; grave no. 5, footnote #1 on page for this entry states, In grave 5, old ground"
Name transcribed from Winter Quarters Wards Membership Lists 1846 - 1848. Taken from a variety of historical sources. They are not complete, and because of the difficulty reading handwriting, may not be entirely accurate. Most of the lists seem to be from the winter of 1846 - 47, but some are from later. In addition, people often moved to better housing, thus changing wards. Sources for these lists are: bishop's reports, high council meeting minutes, tithing records, and 'census' reports of widow, soldier's wives and other unassigned members of wards. The original records are available at the Historical Department, Archives Division, of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Salt Lake City Utah.
