Yesterday’s answer:
B He was not a member
William Henry Haigh: William was but a child when his mother
died, and his father was engaged in the woolen manufacturing business in
Yorkshire, England. William spent his boyhood days at home and received a
liberal education in the common schools and academies of his native land. His
father died in 1855 and William started out in life for himself at the age of
twelve years. After working in the furnishing department of the woolen manufacturing
business for a few years, in the vicinity of his birthplace, he, at the age of
eighteen years, went to Dewsbury, England, and took up the same line of work.
Being of an ambitious turn of mind, and desiring wider fields of operation, he left
his native home and sailed for America in 1866, coming by way of New York.
While in that city he came across some of the “Mormon” emigrants; at once he
took up with them and crossed the plains in Capt. Thomas E. Ricks’s train,
arriving in Salt Lake City in the fall of 1866. Having been converted to
“Mormonism,” he was baptized Sept. 30, 1866, by Joseph Harker and settled west
of the Jordan River, where he has resided ever since.
