• Notes

  Elizabeth joined the LDS church at an early age* with her parents, and moved from Kentucky to Missouri where the the LDS church was gathering. There her father became an invalid after being shot in the neck at the Battle of Crooked River. As a young child and growing woman she and her family knew hunger and privation as well as terror from mob violence, but most of all they knew faith in this new gospel they had embraced. Hard work was a constant necessity in the life of this early pioneer. Elizabeth came across the plains with some of the earliest pioneers, settled with her family in Salt Lake Valley and prepared to help make a civilization out of this wilderness. A short time after she married Frederick BAINBRIDGE, he became dissatisfied and left for California, leaving her and his infant son. She married again to James GAMMELL and died just three weeks after the birth of their first child.
