Working links...

When Geocities disappeared a while back, so did the functionality of all of my links to histories. I'm grateful to Google documents so that they can all be shared again.

Thanks also to my oldest daughter who asked if I could get it functioning again...

They Came from England

In July 1869, three brothers, Cyrus Henry Gold (21 years old), Joseph Hyrum Gold (17 years old) and Francis (Frank) Gold (11 years old) left on the ship Colorado and sailed from England to America. They arrived by train in Salt Lake City in August 1869. Cyrus married Mary Willis who he met on the boat crossing the Atlantic. He made his home in Salt Lake City. Joseph Hyrum lived in Idaho, but eventually settled in Mountain View, Alberta, Canada. The brothers were from Birmingham in Warwickshire, England. A sister, Sarah Ann Gold, arrived in Utah a year before her brothers did. They had all joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in England and had come to Zion to gather with the Saints.
