• Notes

  He was only three years old when he sailed the wide Atlantic ocean in a s queaky, condemned ship on his way to America. The ship was the old Keni lworth with Captain Joseph S. Rawlins at the helm. Little Charlie left h is native land before he was old enough to remember. Because he was so y oung, he could not understand why they had left home. Later he learned t hey had joined the true Church and were on their way to Utah. After arriving in Utah, his father found he could not manage to care fo r the children and earn a living too, so the two older boys earned thei r own way. Mary went to live at the home of Bishop Ruben Miller, and Ch arlie was given to a family by the name of Colburn at Peterson, Utah. John Nils worked in Peterson, Utah, but lived about two miles f rom the Colburns. When little Charlie was just passed three y ears old, one of the big Colburn girls gave him a spanking b ecause he accidentally wet his pants. As a result, he ran away and wen t back to his father's house. He told me of how desperate he was and h ow brave he had to be to walk across a very high, long footbridge, over t he Weber river. From then on Charlie lived with his father, who had mar ried Harriet Burl, so Charlie had a stepmother.
