,Hattie age 13 7/12 Born Utah said daughter and single
,Albert age 10 Born Utah said son and single
,Ida age 7 Born Utah said daughter and single
Albert's death cert. said born Jun 1872. He would only have been 8 in the 1880
census.
This is a good readable copy and it definately said William age 43 son and
single. Census error?
The oldest son John is enumerated next door with a wife Mary and a son
John. Albert and Jesse appear to be the same child but Albert was born in Jun
according to his obit. Jesse could have been a child who died. No headstone at
the Ogden City Cemetary but I didn't inquire about a Jesse.
I talked to Harold Austin a great grand son of William and he is unable to
supply any information on his greatgrand father. Didn't know his name and has
no picture.
Harold Austin 2890 Jackson Ave., Ogden,Utah 84401. Son of Frank and Alta
Coleman.
I also called his sister and she didn't have any family information
and told me to call Harold. The oldest brother Frank S. is deceased.
I contacted the Larkin funeral home and it was started in 1885. If there was
an earlier funeral home they weren't aware of it.
I also called the Church of the Good Shepard to see if they had any early
records since wife Mary said she was a member and they said all their early
records had burned.
I checked the Naturalization index for Weber County and no William or Mary
Austin.
William's father is in the Ancestral file LDS Church saying age 40 in 1841 and
born in England. They are giving his name as William also and his wife as
Mary. Which indicates their information is probably not any help. William's
age is also given as born in 1837 when his headstone said 1818. There is a
brother James listed with the wrong birthdate. Someone must have know he had a
brother James and I wondered if he had come to Utah or California with William.
On William Austin in the Ancestral file is said age 40 in 1841. This is the
year of one of the census in England which makes me think they might havelooked at a census film. If they did I wondered why they didn't put the county
in England where they looked.
Enclosed names and addresses of the three people who submitted the names to
ancestral file plus name and address of Harold Austin in Ogden.
I searched the paper from Aug 1 to August 10 and didn't find a reference to
death of William. This was a bi-weekly from Corrine, Utah and have very few
obits. I also checked the index for the obits and William wasn't listed.
The only source I can think of to check is the Naturalization records in
Calaveras County,Ca. We would have to find the application
to get the most information. I haven't had any luck at all in finding any of
these records. They can apply in one county and take out citizenship in
another county and some of the records have been sent to repositories out of
the state. They were supposed to be citizens to be able to own property but
there are exceptions so this might not always have been enforced.
If Mary was
naturalized in 1860 they were in Calaveras County, Ca. and you will have to
write as there aren't any records in the Salt Lake Gen. Library.

SKETCH OF THE LIFE OF MARY STONE AUSTIN copied from the DUP Library in
Ogden,Ut;
I was born in the year 1836 in Nottingshire, England, the daughter of William
and Sarah Stone. We left England January 2nd 1851 for Utah. I was then about
13 years of age. The first day out we collided with a schooner named the
"Winnifred Scott". Our main mast was broken and we had to stay two weeks on
the Irish coast for repairs. We were ten weeks and three days on the ocean.
When we reached New Orleans, we immediately sailed up the Mississippi River to
Omaha then to Winter Quarters where my father bought Ox teams and we came on to
Utah. We had quite a bad accident on the road near Green River. The man ahead
of us wanted my father to drive his team across the river for him, as he had a
running sore on his leg, so my father went to his assistence, but as soon as he
started the oxen plunged after them into the river which was very deep at that
place being a turn in the river. Our wagon tipped over and we were pinned down
by the luggage and almost drowned but men came to our asistance and helped us
out. Our provision and clothing were ruined. My grandfather who was seventy
years of age never quite recovered from the shock.
Arriving at Salt Lake City, Brigham Young sent us to settle in Iron County, to
see if the Iron found in the mountains there was of good quality. As my
father had worked that business in England. We continued on our journey and
when we reached Provo Grandfather died. A famer let us have a burial place
on his farm to bury our dead. When we reached our distination it was late in
the fall but father with others dug for and tested the iron ore and found it of
very good quality. A small store was built and when the supplies came every
one was so eager for food the storekeeper had to nail up the windows and lock
the doors to keep the people out and let one in at a time. We lived there
three years, but Brigham Young advised abandoning the mines at that time as out
siders might come in. Father received no pay for his work and we suffered many
hardships.
We moved from there to California settling in San Bernadino where I was married
to William Austin at the age of nineteen years. This was in 1855.
In the mean time some of our relatives having come from England to Ogden sent
for my folks to return to Utah, which they did in 1862. On the way here I lost
a little girl, two years and nine months old. She died near Tooele. A man
told my husband to take the best board of of his barn to make a coffin, which
was done. I put a little calico dress on the dear little child as I had
nothing better and we buried her there.
My husband died in the 1874 after a lingering illness leaving me with six small
children to care for. I had a hard struggle to get along as I had nothing and
the only one who helped me was my neighbor, Mrs Eliza Moulding who bought at
her own expense material for three black dresses. One for myself and the two
oldest girls. She also made them for us in time for the funeral. My husband
had made some adobies and built one room up to the square. In order to finish
it I went to the lumber yard and asked them to trust me for lumber to finish
my room. I then took in washing at first, then went out nursing and took in
boarders to pay for it. I got Mr. Jost to do the carpenter work and when
the work was finished I rented the room to railroad men. As soon as I could I
built another room adding to it until I got quite a good sized house for those
times.
I am nearly 89 years of age, in good health, have reared my family well. I
live alone and see to my rented rooms.
