"Ellen Garner was born 15 January 1885, in Ogden, Utah, the daughter of Phillip and Mary Ann Garner.  She lived all her young life in Ogden. Her first job was with the W. H. Wright and Sons Department Store where she had some very fine experiences.

After Ellen and Norman were married they lived in Ogden a little more than a year then in the spring and summer of 1910, they built a home in Riverdale just west of Norman's mother and spent many happy days there and the children enjoyed being close to their Grandma Bingham.

They spent most of their married life in Riverdale and Ogden where Norman followed several lines of occupation other than farming, such as: Telephone Company employee, teller at Ogden State Bank, buying, feeding and selling cattle, buying and selling horses for the Army during World War I, Treasurer of Weber County School Board for six years, some Real Estate business, worked for the Government at Utah General Depot in Ogden in the Auditing Department and as agent for the Beneficial Life Insurance Co., which business he followed so long as he was able to work.

He worked in all the auxiliary organizations of the church, serving diligently and faithfully as Sunday School teacher, Stake Religion Class Board Member, and Home Missionary in Riverdale, Weber Stake. He also served as counselor to Bishop Murray K. Jacobs in the Riverdale Ward, Ward Teacher, Counselor in the Presidency of the High Priest Group and two years as President of the High Priest Group. His last assignment was Chairman of the Genealogical Committee of the 23rd Ward in the Mount Ogden Stake.

His wife, Ellen, also served faithfully in the different auxiliaries of the church. She was a wonderful companion to her husband and a devoted mother to her children. Norman and Ellen were real sweet-hearts all their married lives and stood faithfully together side by side through all the joys and sorrows of their married life. They just lacked one day of having been married 56 years when Norman passed away of a heart ailment on 19 January 1965, after a month's illness.

At this writing (June 1966) Ellen still lives at their home at 1063 28th Street, Ogden, Utah."

Hickman Line Pioneer Crossings

Bingham, Sanford, Erastus, Lucinda
Erastus, Captain of 10 – Daniel Spencer/Ira Eldredge Company in 1847, age 49, was accompanied by wife, Lucinda, age 49, many children, and son Sanford, age 26 who married Martha Lewis on route.

Fife, Agnes Ann, Adam, Helen Sharp
Adam, 45, wife Helen Sharp, 42, and 8 children including Agnes Ann, age 5 came with the Wilkin Freight Train in 1851. This was a group of Scottish immigrants.

Gaisford, Isaac, Ellen Raikes

Garner, Phillip Roemma, Mary
Phillip, age 39 was with the Mormon Battalion Sick Detachment in 1847. In 1849, he, 40, brought his wife, Mary Hedrick, age 38 and 9 children across with the Silas Richards Company.

Gates, Lucinda (found as Lucinda Gates Bingham), Thomas
Thomas, age 71 traveled with the Daniel Spencer/Ira Eldredge Company in 1847.

Wells, Mary, Stephen, Mary Ann
Stephen, 28, and Mary Ann, 36, must have traveled across the plains in 1851 in an unidentified company. Evidence that the Stephen and Mary Wells came to Utah in 1851 is based on their marriage in Kanesville in June 1851 and the birth of Mary Ester in Salt Lake City in May 1852, prior to the arrival of that season's emigration. They had to have traveled to Utah in 1851.

Whitehead, Adolphus, Mary, Elizabeth
Elizabeth Jane Jarrold Whitehead, 45, brough her 4 children across the plains with the Milo Andrus Company in 1855. Son Adolphus was 13. For some reason husband, Francis stayed in England, but died in 1862 – this date must be a mistake because she is listed as a “widow with four children.”
