From the life of Keturah Ann Lunn Broadbent: After
landing in America, the family went to St. Louis, Missouri. Here they stayed
for a year and a half. Keturah taught school to help earn the necessary money
to purchase supplies and a wagon. Late in the spring of 1852, they left with a
wagon train to cross the Plains. Keturah was heavy with child and the rough
riding of the wagon did not help the situation.
It was while crossing the State of Nebraska that he wagon train
stopped by a lone pine tree during one of their nightly stops. Early the next
morning the wagon-train resumed the journey, forgetting to take a headcount.
Keturah, feeling sick, had rested by the pine tree while they were preparing to
leave. Seeing the last wagon disappear began her labor pains. A friendly Indian
found her, jumped on his horse and raced after the wagon train. The wagon train
returned for Keturah but not before Orson Broadbent was born under that lone
pine tree in Nebraska.
