Hip, hip, hurrah!

Tod, my wife is a distant cousin of yours, having William Furlsbury Carter as a second great grandfather. Thanks for the link.

What a delightful find! I’m sure Emmaretta must have smiled when she heard of your discovery and subsequent submission of her name for remembrance.

Little nugget of interest: one of my great grandfathers was William Furlsbury Carter, who also served with Amos Milton Musser in India with that initial missionary effort. Although, William returned in 1853 due to illness. He did manage to circumnavigate the globe in the process though. ;-)

Here’s a history of him if anyone is interested: http://devinthorpe.typepad.com/tdbbgw_family_history/files/william_furlsbury_carter_history.pdf

Parshall Sun, 03 Jul 2011 21:50:27 +0000 http://www.keepapitchinin.org/?p=12826#comment-75330 Thanks, J. I know this isn’t what the Psalmist had in mind, but I like to think of this verse every time a forgotten Latter-day Saint is remembered again: “I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: therefore shall the people praise thee for ever and ever.” (Psalms 45:17)

than the 1857 emigration).
