Harriet and Eliza emigrated and located in North Ogden, Utah; and raised each a large family, but Sarah married and remained in England, now in her 70th year and has had a family of 9 children. After the death of his first wife, Sarah Mundy, John Brown married Jane Wilkins, who bore him 2 children; at West Lavington: George, January 7 1852, who is a resident of North Ogden and an infant always very sickly and finally died in infancy.

Harriet Brown Ward was a daughter of John Brown and Sarah Mundy, and was born at West Lavington, Wiltshire, England, October 5, 1838 and at the age of 11, through the death of her mother, the care of the family devolved upon her at that tender age, until her father was married to Jane Wilkins (mother of George Brown of this place) she then went out to work for her living, mean while taking advantage of opportunities for an education at high school for 4 years. She was so desirous of an education on that when her father married the second time she decided to go to school. She had to work to pay her way. The work she got was washing steps every morning. Her hands got so cold from being in the water so much that she had cilblains all up her arms. About this time her father's second wife died necessitating her to the home to look after the family, with an increased number of children and with the dying request of her mother to have the children taught the Principles of the Gospel and baptized in the church, resting upon her and she succeeded in carrying out that request in being baptized herself in 1849 by William Charman and was confirmed by John Halliday, the later being the first elder in that locality and in 1855 her two sisters, Sarah and Eliza were baptized by Edward Hannam. Her responsibilities in the home continued until she was 23 years of age when she was married to James Ward, March 16 1861 and set sail for Utah April 23, 1861 from Liver Pool, England on the ship "Under Writer" in a company of 624 Saints under the direction of Milo Andrus, Homer Dunkin and Chas W. Penrose. They arrived at New York, May 22 1861. Then went to Florence, now Omaha. Later they left there July 1, 1861 for Utah and arrived in Salt Lake, September 13, 1861 in the Joseph Horn Company. Her husband having worked his way across the plains in the direction of the first transcontinental telegraph line to Utah, she was deprived of his companionship until she met with him again in Utah. They proceeded on to Ogden and located on what is now the George Smuin property on Washington Avenue, where her first child, Sarah Jane, was born December 20, 1961. They after wards sold out at a small figure and moved further north and located on the John Holmes property in North Ogden, where her second child, Elizabeth was born, July 13. 1863.

All except Hubert have been married in the temple. Two have served in Ward Bishoprics. One served the Superintendency of Sunday School and others have filled positions of honor and trust. She endured all the hardships incident to the settling in the new and sterile country, giving birth to her first child in a cabin without a roof, when it was raining for 21 days; laying in wey bedding and through the blessings of the Lord did not take a cod. It should have been noted that she had walked all the way across the olains in a delicate condition, (see James Ward's life sketch) and waded all the streams. She told of many times, when she held her second child, she would carry the baby and the oldest one would walk to where she would wash fora lady all day, over a mile away. Then she was through the lady would giver a small piece of butter for pay. She would tell how there were so many Indians and how frightened she was of them. She said one day while she was away the Indians went in the house and took all her baby's dresses, which were few in number due to the scarcity of cloth. In North Ogden, she has been almost continuously engaged in Relief Society work. serving as visiting Teacher and as member of the Board of Directors and assisting with the sick andto lay out the dead and officiated for many of her dead in the Temples of the Lord, working at one time for two months.
