While traveling along the North Platte River in Nebraska, Elizabeth died of cholera, 12 June 1850. When the company arrived at the head of the Sweet Water River in Wyoming, presumably near South Pass, Allen became ill.

Dear Uncle & Brother:

I adopt this method of writing to you a few s & I have no doubt if you ever get this letter but you will be surprised & anxious to hear the news about the family, as I am to hear from you all. You will want to know who of the Hendricks family are yet living. Sister Sarah and myself and families and Brother William's family are all of the close kind that I know of now living. I have not heard from any of the rest of the family for a long time. Father died 11 years ago in La. Sister Catherine died a year or two before father and left a husband and two children, a boy and girl, that are both since marryed. Brother Abraham died in the army six years ago with measles. Brother William died four years ago and also two of his sons. His wife and five children are all living at home, none marryed yet, on Red River in La. I was over in La. to Sister Sally's and Nancy's two years ago. The first time I had seen them since we were children. Sally was well and hearty and her family. Her son John Wattis, is grown and is a nice young man. Her husband's name is Lunsford. He appears to be a good, kind-hearted man and all appeared to be getting along very well. They belong to the Baptist church. So did father and Catherine in their life time. William never joined any church. He lived and I recon, died, a Universalist. I forgot the Edwards family, James and Newt, and their sister Elizabeth, all have familys and are living in Dallas County, Texas. All are good citizens and doing very well. Cousin John Hendricks and Ruthy are alive yet and live in Grason County, Texas, and are doing very well. I hear from them onst in a while. We have not heard of Brother Nelson for a long time and suppose he is dead. Giles died in the Mexican war upwards of 20 years ago. We have not heard from Josiah for a long time. He was in California the last time we heard from him. He was single and then living near Sister Elizabeth. Now will tell you something of myself and family. I am living with my second wife and have two children by each one. My oldest daughter is grown, and Sam my oldest boy is 14 years old. The youngest is small. All stout, healthy children. I have not enjoyed good health for a long time until this summer. My health has been better than usual. The health of our country is generally good. We have fine crops and provision is very plentifull in Texas except wheat that has been destroyed for a year or two by the grasshoppers. Now I have wrote to you what will most immediately interest you at this time and now I must ask of you both if living or either and if not your familys to answer my letter soon as possible for you do not know how much I crave to hear from you all and especially Sister Tabitha and Elizabeth and Josiah and Brother Allen's children and all the kind and friends you know of.

Elizabeth was buried on Jan 24, 1893 at Minersville Cemetery, Minersville, Beaver County, Utah.
     

Elizabeth was eight when her mother died. We know little of Elizabeth's childhood, but one can imagine it was was not too pleasant with a father being left to support and care for a large family. Elizabeth's two oldest sisters were married and away from their father's home. She went with her father to Louisiana and in 1843 returned to Illinois with her sisters to live with the Neriah Lewis family. The winter of 1843-44 was a hard one: the snow was deep, and this family suffered a great deal. During the cold winter weather their mother's sister, Aunt Drusilla Dorris Hendricks (D1110-S1) and David Lewis came to see the family. They told them of their joining the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and explained its teachings to them. The family were all interested and accepted the gospel plan as told to them. They were soon on their way to Nauvoo, Illinois in the summer of 1844 to join the Latter-day Saints. They arrived there shortly after the martyrdom of Joseph Smith, the Prophet, and his brother, Hyrum. They found the Saints in great sorrow and unrest over the death of these two great leaders. While they were in Nauvoo they visited the temple, and also went to Carthage to see the jail where the Prophet was murdered. Elizabeth was 17 and her sisters Sarah 15, and Tabitha 14. They were old enough to grasp the meaning of the Gospel plan and were faithful to its teachings.

Owing to conditions at Nauvoo the Saints were all preparing for the exodus to the Rocky Mountains. The Lewis family remained there only a short time. They awaited their turn to be ferried over the Mississippi River where the men were working day and night to get the people to the other side. After crossing the river they went to Mount Pisgah where they were organized into companies of tens and fifties. Here it seems that the girls were separated. Tabitha was placed in the company of Bishop Miller, Second Bishop of the church, with the rest of the Lewis family; Elizabeth and Sarah were placed with others. After arriving at Winter Quarters, Nebraska, Elizabeth was baptized in Januray 1845. She lived at Winter Quarters for two years. Recorded in Brigham Young's History is the following: "9 of Jan. 1847 went to the Octagon Winter Quarters and married Elizabeth Hendricks to Isaac Grundy and then went for a walk." In the same year, 1847, Elizabeth, Isaac, and her sister Sarah, left for Utah, arriving in Salt Lake City 5 Oct 1847 in Jedediah Morgan Grant's Company. This was the last company to come that year and consisted of 150 people. The following year on 24 Sep 1848 the rest of the family arrived in Salt Lake City. This must have been a happy reunion for the four sisters, Rebecca, Elizabeth, Sarah, and Tabitha.

In 1849 the Grundy's were called to go to California to help colonize San Bernardino. They remained there until 1858 when the colonists were called back to Utah by Brigham Young because of the coming of Johnston's Army. Arriving in Parowan, Utah, President Young sent word for the Grundy's to stay there for the winter and as soon as the weather would permit, for Isaac to go into the surrounding country and prospect for lead ore. This would be used to make bullets to fight off the invaders. President Young told the men who were prospecting to locate a settlement near by, where they could live with their families. A little valley to the southwest of the ore deposit which they had discovered proved to be the place they wanted for their town. The families were moved to the valley and the name of Grundyville given to the town. This name was used for some time and then Elizabeth suggested it be called Minersville, because it was settled by and for the miners. It has so remained ever since.

Pioneering and hardships continued for years and now the Grundys had a home and farm. Elizabeth was a practical nurse and midwife attending the sick not only in Minersville but in all the surrounding communities. She was truly an angel of mercy on many occasions. Elizabeth's eyes began to to bother her and this continued for some time. She feared she would go blind completely. About 1870 another call came from President Brigham Young for Isaac to come to Salt Lake City and work as a stone cutter and facer on the Temple. Isaac had learned this trade as a young man in Wisconsin, so he immediately arranged his affairs and, taking his family, started out on a long journey. Arriving in Salt Lake Elizabeth was taken to a doctor for treatment of her eyes. The doctor being very busy and help scarce, she began to help him in his office. The doctor, noting how efficient she was with the patients, asked her if she would help him all the time and in this way pay her own bill. She was very happy to do this and after her eyes were better, he approached her one day and asked if she would like to study under him as he felt she would make a great doctor. She accepted this proposition and after some months the doctor sent her on to Denver to study. Here she became on oculist and returned to practice general medicine in Salt Lake City. Her place of business was on 1st South street between East and West Temple streets.

The Grundy's eventually returned to Minersville where Elizabeth practiced in Beaver County and many of the other surrounding communities, going as far as Loa, Wayne County to care for the sick. Her entire life was one of sacrifice and service for others. Elizabeth was a stately woman, very proud and of a cultural nature. This she instilled into her posterity.

      Sarah Hendricks was born on Oct 25, 1829 at Simpson County, Kentucky. She was the daughter of Samuel Hendricks and Rebecca Dorris. Sarah married John Wattis, son of Edmund Wattis and Susan (Unknown), on Feb 21, 1848 at Utah. Sarah married Peyton R. Lunsford, son of P. J. Lunsford, on Jul 4, 1860 at Webster Parish, Louisiana. Sarah Hendricks died on Dec 27, 1906 at age 77.

      Tabitha Hendricks was born on Sep 30, 1830 at Simpson County, Kentucky. She was the daughter of Samuel Hendricks and Rebecca Dorris. Tabitha married General Thomas Edwin Ricks Sr., son of Joel Ricks and Eleanor Martin, on Aug 18, 1852 at Salt Lake City, Salt Lake County, Utah. Tabitha Hendricks died on Mar 6, 1924 at Rexburg, Madison County, Idaho, at age 93. Tabitha was buried on Mar 8, 1924 at Rexburg Cemetery, Rexburg, Madison County, Idaho.

Front Row: James, Sam, Tabitha, Mary Elizabeth, William.



At the death of her mother, Tabitha moved to Louisiana with her father. She and her sisters Elizabeth and Sarah were taken to Illinois to live with her brother-in-law Neriah Lewis where she had a better opportunity for schooling.

After her baptism into the Mormon Church in 1845 at Winter Quarters, she shared with the Lewis family their experiences in spending the winter with the Ponca Indians and returning to Winter Quarters. Neriah Lewis earned money by freighting and Tabitha was put to work among strangers. Evidently in 1848 she joined a company led by Heber C. Kimball. Little is said of the journey across the plains, except that it was necessary for Tabitha to drive a team, made up of three oxen and one cow, attached to the baggage wagon. She arrived in Salt Lake on 24 oct. 1848, and at that time she was just seventeen. She was not satisfied with her education. An opportunity presented itself in an offer of a man at Centerville, Utah, who needed someone to milk cows. He was willing that she should go to school, for which she paid. His wife and daughters did all the housework, so Tabitha had time to pursue her studies. She worked for him
about three years.

On 18 Aug 1853 she was married to Thomas Edwin RICKS, of whom it was said in later years, "He stands the equal if not the superior of any man of his years, in the Rocky Mountains, for his life-long devotion to the cause he represents and his unflinching services in braving the hardships and vicisitudes, incident to the colonization of the Western Wilds." They purchased a little farm at Centerville, Utah of 25 acres and had erected a little adobe and log house where they started out their married life. She became familiar with the medicinal properties of herbs, and often was spoken of as the "Herb Doctor." She was a ministering angel among her neighbors and friends, and at the death of the people of her neighborhood, she always was in demand. She was the mother of nine sons and three daughters. In her early married life, she took in her nephew William Hendricks, (D11030402) son of Allen (D110304) who died while crossing the plains. During her later life she took three other children to raise, Theresa Halvorson, Nellie Collet, and Robert Gee. She did not hesitate to do all necessary work to maintain her frontier home, having made much of the family clothing from the spinning of the virgin material, to the weaving of the cloth and sewing the material into the final product. They remaind at Centerville unti 1859, at which time they moved to Cache Valley, Utah, living in Logan until 1893, when Thomas was called to colonize the location which is now Rexburg, Idaho.

      James Hendricks was born in 1832 at Simpson County, Kentucky. He was the son of Samuel Hendricks and Rebecca Dorris. James Hendricks died before 1835.

      Abraham Hendricks was born on May 15, 1834 at Simpson County, Kentucky. He was the son of Samuel Hendricks and Rebecca Dorris.

"Dear Brother & Sister & Nephews

I again write to let you know I am not well nor have not been for seven or eight weeks. I have had the jaundice, diareah and bad cold. I am fearful I am taking the liver complaint. I am so hoarse now I can scarcely talk. I can't sing or hollow at all.

I have nothing interesting to write you. I have written twice to you since the battle here. The health of the Company is improving, we have some 8 or 10 sick in our Company at present.
Clay Gryder and Dick Holomon have been discharged. James Barnard will probably go home on furlow. If my health does not improve I will go home on furlow in a week or 2 more. Some of the Officers say I ought to be discharged but I don't. I would accept a discharge unless I find I can't get well in camp. It is a bad chance to get well here, the Surgeons and Doctors have so much sickness to attend to they will not notice a person unless he will tumble down and groan and hollow like he is nearly dead. So no more on that subject.

We are expecting another battle here every day. We are preparing for them Northerners. We are still forting up yet, building winter quarters and we have 30 or 35 thousand soldiers here and more coming in every day. We have a floating battery here with 18 or twenty cannons on it. 5 or 6 gunboats, also, with lots of cavalry and flying artillery and infantry.

I have nothing more to write to you at present only give my respects to all my friends and accept a share yourself. If I do not go home, do write to me, write anyhow. I have looked for letters from you but in vain. If I do not go home soon I want you to do the best you can for me and I will pay you for your trouble when I do go home. I don't need any money from Claiborne and hope I will not need anymore than the Confederate States will pay me. I have been paid $28.60 cts. and I would send you some money if I knew I would get healthy but I reckon I had better keep my money for fear I may need it. So no more at present,

but I remain yours sincerely"
Abraham Hendricks

"Sarah I want you and John to write to me. You know not how it makes me rejoice to get letters from relatives. I got a letter from Mag Hendricks yesterday. I was glad to hear from them."
