about whom Elder Taylor writes: “Born in France, 1841. His recollections as a child was the French Revolution of 1848, when he saw the streets of Paris running with blood. He was taken to England, where he lived with his Uncle George Cottam. He grew restless at the age of eighteen, and joined the British army. At twenty his regiment was sent from Kingstown, Ireland, to Canada, where he went over the ground where General Wolf and his troops took their stand on the Heights of Abraham. The Civil War had been on for two years, and he and his mate crossed Lake Ontario at great risk. He was in New York only forty-eight hours before he enlisted in the Forty-first New York State Volunteers. Two months later he was on the firing line. He was at most of the historic places of the Civil War and fought in some of the battles. In 1870 he enlisted in the United States navy and cruised under the Stars and Stripes to the South American republics and many African ports. Receiving an honorable discharge from Uncle Sam and with a desire to see mother and friends, he set sail for England. To his disappointment, he was told by friends in England that his people had left some time previously for Australia. He followed them, and finally found them in this city, which has bee his home ever since. His mother died, reverses came in business, old age and discouragement came upon him, and he was living in an attic of one of the boarding houses in my district when I delivered him a tract. He answered the door, and when I looked down upon the gray-bearded old gentleman, the most peculiar feeling I ever experienced in the mission field came over me and told me to take an interest in him. He was discouraged and had nothing to hope or live for, but said that he was praying and trying to prepare himself to meet his Maker. I instructed him in the gospel for seen months, when he applied for baptism, and from that day to this he has been a happy man. He says he has done the will of the Lord, and he knows that he belongs to the true Church of Christ, and is not afraid now to take his journey to the Great Beyond.”

These two elders, both serving in the Northern States Mission, were among the first of many missionaries to die in the field in the early days of the world-wide “Spanish influenza” pandemic. Margery Stevens, of Enoch, Utah; John Irving Huskinson, of Salt Lake City; and Henry Parkinson Rogers of Preston, Idaho, were others who died of the flu in October/November 1918.
