However, this was not before she mailed her new husband's dried up hand to U.S. President James Garfield, asking him to accept the hand as evidence that the government was coming down too hard on the Mormons. Shortly thereafter, 26 . Mormon prisoners were released from Sugarhouse Prison. Billy Parkin was not included, having been transferred to the jail in Park City. As for Flat Nose George, his name became famous a few years later, when one of the outlaws riding with Butch Cassidy picked up the alias. Stella left her aging husband, with hard feelings on both sides, and took her baby with her to California, where she married a prosperous farmer and raised a large family. Priscilla returned to Grantsville, settled in a small cottage of her own to raise her child and several more that came in later years, two after the manifesto. I never found out which church leader she was married to. Moroni managed to stay in Salt Lake, taking care of his families while avoiding arrest. After the manifesto all charges against him were dropped. He became somewhat of a legend in his time, due to his ability to find lost items with his seerstone, though he pretty much stopped giving patriarchal blessings. Sam and Kathryn adopted the Man boy Abinadi and moved to Canada, establishing a large cattle and horse ranch in the foothills of Hie beautiful mountains northwest of Cardston, Alberta. Sam even-tall- y fathered three children by a V plural wife named Ramona Kelley, ft 'horn he first met after escaping 'ram the Detroit prison. Prison guard Rudolf Wolfstein ns terminated by the Detroit prison when he suffered a perm-anent disability after falling into a Woot hole behind the prison mess hall. 'stayed in American Fork, and to avoid the appearance of polygamy, I built a new home for my second wife, Sarah, and Pat's widow, Beth. It was close to the old house where Caroline lived, so our lives didn't change very much. My old friend, Ike, continued to drop in once or twice a year, usually in the fall, in time for a hunting trip together. He came by for the last time in 1898. I never saw him after that, and don't know what happened to him. Old Indians - and he was more Indian now than black - had a way of just riding off into the mountains and disappearing. As for Ben, he took the advice of John Taylor and moved to the Mormon colonies in Mexico, taking Lobo with him. At first Ben couldn't persuade Nellie to join him. It took her about a month to decide once and for all that Ben was the man she wanted to share her life with. As her train pulled to a stop in Mexico, she looked through the window to see Ben standing on the platform, a pretty young woman beside him, her arm in his. To Nellie, life was repeating itself. All too clearly, she remembered arriving in Salt Lake from England to be met at the station by David Butler and his wife, Alice. Now it was happening again. At first she felt panic, then anger. She charged off the train, determined to give Ben a piece of her mind. Seeing her coming, Ben just grinned, then quickly explained that he had no romantic interest in the woman on his arm. Spontaneously, and perhaps thoughlessly, he had asked the stranger to take his arm to have a little fun with Nellie. Though she felt relieved, Nellie was still angry. She didn't ap-preciate what she thought was a cruel attempt at humor. Only a very sincere apology from Ben prevented her from getting back on the train and returning to Utah. It wasn't until years after their marriage that she was able to laugh at his practical joke. I wish I could say that Ben and Nellie lived happily ever after, but I can't. Revolution broke out in Mexico, and Pancho Villa and his men began harassing the Mormon colonies. But that's another story. Nt tteek, look for "Storm "timid farm boy from New York, lament VI: Rockwell," the story became the greatest gun fighter in ltowOrriii Porter Rockwell, a the history of the American West. |
