William Clayton Journals
April 14, 1847
Summary: Half an hour of notice that
he will be in the first company.
Journal entry: WEDNESDAY. This morning
severely pained with rheumatism in my face. At 11:00 a.m. Brigham
and Dr. Richards came. Brigham told me to rise up and start with
the pioneers in half an hour's notice. I delivered to him the records
of the K. of G. and set my folks to work to get my clothes together
to start with the pioneers. At two o'clock I left my family and
started in Heber's carriage with Heber and Wm. Kimball and Ellen
Sanders, Bishop Whitney and Lyman went out with us in another wagon.
We went about 19 miles and camped on the prairie. After supper Heber
prayed and we retired to rest.
