C Her ox team and wagon
From the life of Netta Anna Furrer Cardon: About this
time, in 1854, she met Elder Heurs, a Latter-day Saint missionary who taught
her the gospel and baptized her. Soon she made plans to join with the saints in
Utah. She journeyed to Liverpool, England, where she set sail on the ship Enoch
Train. This voyage lasted three long months, and her medical skill saved
many lives, as a contagious disease broke out among the passengers.
After arriving in New York, she traveled by rail to the Missouri
River where the trek across the plains. She had money with her to purchase a
yoke of oxen, a wagon, and provisions for the journey, but seeing a family too
poor to buy an outfit, she gave them all of her equipment and then purchased a
handcart and a few provisions for herself. She took her medical kit, containing
a few surgical instruments and medicine, a trunk containing clothing, and
joined the Edmund Ellsworth handcart company. It was the very first handcart
company to make the trek to Zion.
