commissioned officers in the Bntish Army. When the Gospel message happened to reach the ears of grandfather and grandmother Gower, it found such a responsive chord in their hearts that the spirit of the gathering to Zion seized them and they followed their impulse to cometo America. It so happened that they came aboard the same ship that my father did. The young Henry Lunt likely little dreamed then that the n six-year-old child, the oldest of the three children i the Gower family, would one day become his wife. Grandfather Gower, instead of going to Council Bluffs as did my father, left the steamer at St. Louis, Missouri where he secured employment at his accustomed line of occupation in an iron foundry, being placed in charge of a group of men because of his broad expenence in foundry work. He continued to hold his job here for a period of five years, thus managing to save enough means to outfit himself and family with clothes, a grub stake, ox team wagon, and an assortment of tools for his long-contemplated trek west. But, soon after his anival at St. Louis, an epidemic of cholera broke out claiming many victims. Among them was Grandmother Gower and her two younger children which left Grandfather Gower a widower with only his little Ann. Having to be at his post early and late, he was obliged to leave his motherless child in the care of neighbors. The lonely little girl would ofien stray away i search of her missing mother, being too young n to realize that her dear mother had gone beyond mortal reach. Within about two years Grandfather met a young widow the narne of Martha Tidswell. She, too, was a convert to the Mormon faitb, and it appeared that a match would be of mutual benefit to the two. Be it said though that the love of a real mother could never be replaced.
