Lucy Walker Kimball J was Iwrn April M). 1826, in the town of Peacham, Caledonia Co.. Vermont. She was the daughter of John Walker and Lydia' Holmes.-Her mother was born April 18, 1800; married' April 18, 1819. Jler bather was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ in 1832; the mother, two years later." They left Vermont in 1834 for the West. They 'found a small branch of the Church in Ogdensburg, ew York; some of Brother Kimball's first, converts, preparing to go west also. The' father was induced to remain with this branch until 1837. .During the year 1835 the children, who were eight years and were baptized by Elder Abraham Palmer. They were full of faith, having been taught to pray for their parents, and received the Holy Ghost by the laying on of hands, and the sighs followed them. Some spake in tongues, others prophesied; again others had the gift. of faith to hear the sick, etc. One of this little band prophesied that before we reached our destination we would armed mobs with black-ehe- d le surrounded-bfaces, and would need much faith in God to endure the many persecutions and trials before us, and that some of our number would lay down their lives; others see their brethren shot down before their very eyes. This was verified in the wholesale', lip-ward- s, slaughter at Haun's Mill. Notwithstanding what was said wfe did not falter in our faith but started on our perilous journey trusting in God. We passed through Kirtlaiul just after the Saints had left for Far West. When we arrived in Caldwell County we were surrounded by a mob of about forty persons "with blackened faces. They hooted and yelled and looked more like demons than . human beings'. It was early one December morning when this occurred. They ordered my poor, delicate mother out into the deep snow, searched our wagons, took from us our arms and ammunition; pointed their guns at us children to intimidate us and cursed and swore in a most frightful manner. One of the neighboring women had intruded her. hateful presence into Our camp, urging them to shoot. "Shoot them down," she cried, they should not be. allowed-tlive.7 The question may be asked how did we"' feel under these circumstances ? 1 can 'n speak for one, I did not tremble- I did not fear them. Thev looked to me too insignifi- cant, and I felt to trust in One, (although but a child) who held our destinies in his . own hands. We' continued our journey 'until we came tn a settlement on Shoal Creek,' five miles rlktant from Haun's Milk my father and another of the brethren .went to the mill to hold council with Brother Joseph Young nnd others, as to what course was best to pursue under the circumstances,: They were,. h inrksmith. shoo wnen a moD auueaicu ,r. in sight, formed in line and without giving . : |
