One of the relief members contributed a part of his underlinens to clothe the little stranger. That same night, seven of the emigrants died and were buried in one grave. Three days later, on November 27, 1856, they arrived in Salt Lake. They stayed in Salt Lake for a short time and then we went to stay with Henry’s brother, John Squires, until her mother was strong enough to be

The cannibalism, assuming they survived long enough for the effects to take place, would have most likely caused a prion disease which symptoms would have included memory loss, changes in behavior and mood, and dementia.

They define transnationalism as “The processes by which immigrants build social
