Eliza Ann Helena Michie

Eliza’s parents are Robert Michie of Scotland and Frances Potts from England.

After they came to America, Robert and Frances lived in Boston for four years. It was there that Eliza Ann was born. She was the second child born into the family.

The family then joined an “unknown company” to travel to the Salt Lake Valley. However company records made a statement that indicated they joined the Joseph Horne Company.

In Eliza's history it said:

“Without the proper food for small children, little Eliza Ann Helena became ill with black canker and died at Ice Spring on the Sweetwater [River, Wyoming]. Grandma washed her little white nightgown to dress her for burial and Grandpa cut up part of the wagon box to make a little casket, she was buried on the plains."

Little 1 year old Eliza is buried somewhere by the Sweetwater river in Wyoming.
