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.

History of William and Sarah Ward Spackman

William Spackman, a son of John Spackman and Susannah Orchard, was born 15 Sep 1823 in Poulshot or North Newton, Wiltshire, England.

He was privileged to live his youth and early manhood in the beautiful, green farming land which is Wiltshire, where he grew and developed as a scientific gardener and was noted as a lover of fine horses.

He was an honored and trustworthy citizen of his native community.

On 8 Sep 1845, William was married in Poulshot to Sarah Ward. Sarah was born 1 May 1814 at Pewsey, Wiltshire, England, a daughter of William Ward and Ann Brown. At the time of their marriage Sarah had a son, James Spanswick, born 12 Jun 1840 in Pewsey. James' father died when James was two years old.

Five children were born to this couple. They were Ellen, John, Annie (Ann), Georgianna and Jane.

William and Sarah embraced the Gospel of "Mormonism" at the hands of Elder Nathan Griffen and both were baptized 11 Dec 1852. They were the only members of their families to join the church. The Mormon missionaries were always welcome and made comfortable in their home.

Earnestly desiring to join the main body of the church, the family decided to emigrate to Utah. They sailed 25 Aug 1869 from Liverpool, England on the ship "Minnesota" in a company of 443 saints under the direction of Elder Maurius Ensign.

They arrived in New York City on 6 Sep and in Ogden 16 Sep, just ten days later. What a difference from the ox team and handcart. They came on the first train that pulled into Ogden on the Union Pacific, the train being compelled to stop overnight at Taylor's Mill, near Riverdale, while the last spikes were being driven. They were met by a number of their friends in Ogden who had preceded them from the Old World and partook with them of a most elegant lunch provided for the occasion this happy event took place on the spot where Scowcroft Warehouse was built. They proceded with them on to North Ogden traveling up Washington Ave., then very primitive with chuck and dust holes in abundance, and a forest of sunflowers on the side.

After their arrival in North Ogden, William resumed his favorite occupation of gardening, with farming and dairying added in a limited degree, though with marked success, and still showing his love of good horses.

The home he built for his family in 1870 is still standing (1983). The present address is Rear 548 East 2650 North, North Ogden. The original was one room, all rock construction. The walls were two feet thick. It is said to be part of the old fort wall. The other rooms are adobe brick and were added later.

He and his good wife raised their five children and three of their grandchildren in this home.

The grandchildren they helped raise were their son John's children, John William from the age of two (he was the child from John's first marriage), Sarah who was lame after she had polio and Joseph Parley who was eight years old when he went to help his grandparents with the chores and on the farm after John William married.

William was ordained an Elder on 10 Apr 1872 and was a member of the 3rd Quorum for 30 years. "He was one of the most substantial and trustworthy citizens of the ward and did considerable temple work."

He was a man of sterling integrity, a kind father, and affectionate husband and a highly respected citizen.

William and Sarah were sealed in the temple 10 Apr 1872 and their children were sealed to them 29 Oct 1890.

They lived to see their children grown and married in good families before their death in North Ogden, Utah. Sarah died 5 Dec 1900 and William 10 Apr 1902. The were both buried in the North Ogden Cemetery.

A Brief Biography of my mother, Eliza W. Brown" [daughter of John Brown and Sarah Munday.} written by Nephi Brown
...Her father, John Brown, was born at west Lavington December 13 1816, and grew up there as a plain, industrious, farm laborer, working for 25 years on the same farm at a wage of eight shillings a week, or about $2.00 in USA money. (at the time this history was written.

In this quiet village at about the age of twenty one, he married Sarah Munday, a girl about his own age. To them three daughters were born, Harriet, Sarah, and Eliza. Three other children were born to them, but died in infancy. the mother died of sudden illness when only about 30 years old. [Eliza then, went to live with her grandparents. They were kind to her ... however, were not in a position to keep her very long.

About a year later her father [John Brown] married Jane Wilkins. Mother, went home to live with them and when she was about five years old she began to go to school in a little thatched roof school house where the morning was spent in reading, writing and spelling. In the afternoon she was taught sewing.
My mother [Eliza} and her father and her brother, George Brown, all took a very keen interest in the teachings of these missionaries. she was very anxious to emigrate to Zion. [ Jane Wilkins Brown , Johns' second wife also died before the age of 30 due to poor health] [ Eliza kept house for her father and brother after her step mother, Jane passed away]

"A little more than two years slipped by and at the age of sixteen, the long looked for day arrived. On May 20, 1863 she with her father and brother, George, left England for Zion. Her sister Sarah remained in West Lavington. ...It took about two weeks to get to London and to make preparrations for the great journey. their ship, the "Amazon" was anchored in the Thames, and a company and a company of eight hundred and eighty two saints went on board that sailing vessel.

The interest and curiosity of that great English novelist, Charles Dickens, was aroused and he went aboard the ship before it sailed; he wanted to know just why and where such a large group of emigrants were going and to find out what impelled them to go. Mr. Dickens directly interviewed quite a number of Saints, and among those were, my mother, Eliza Brown and her father, John Brown and brother george, and his impressions of what he saw and heard that day on the "Amazon" appeared in considerable length in his book "Commercial Traveler". On June 4, 1863 the ship set sail for the "Promised Land" under the direction of elder William Bramwell. .
