*1852 08 11 Sabden, Pendleton, Lancashire, GBR
+1954 08 25 Salt Lake City, Salt Lake Co., UT, USA

LDS AFN 1GV3-VK. Tentative identification with 1880 Census record, made by JC 10001, confirmed by ML 100199.

1880 Census: Gunnison, Sanpete, UT, USA. Single white male, 26, servant, living in home of William Bangs, parents also born in England.

ML 100199 adds: He lived most of his life in Uintah Co., UT, USA. After his mother's death, he was hired as a ranch hand (stock handler) for a man named Parmer, for whom he worked for about 6 years, and with whom he had lived earlier as a boy. He may have lived at the Bangs' home for a few years, doing chores in exchange for lodging, but the Census entry notwithstanding would not have described himself as a servant. The Bangs family lived in the small settlement of Chicken Creek, where MEM 15620 lived with her parents, and her father had a flour mill. He went on to work stock for several others, and took care of the Centerfield community's herd for 2 years, camping at a place now known as Jack's Flat. In 1894/95, he went to work for Oscar Berglund. In 1899, he began spending 2 years moving Berglund's cattle to Browns Park, CO, where his last four children were born. He and MEM 15620 had 14 children. The second-born, Hoyle, was killed at about 12. The 13th, Madge, died at birth, and was buried a few hundred feet from where she was born. The remaining 12 grew to adulthood and had productive lives. He worked as a stockman, then left the cattle business to capture wild horses to break them and sell them to the U.S. Army's Cavalry. He is buried beside his wife in the villege cemetery in Jensen, Uintah Co., UT, USA. His ranch was inherited by his son Rial, with Ralph and Douglas purchasing land nearby. The family are still active as stock growers and in government regulation organizations in northeastern Utah and northwestern Colorado.
