Eunice’s parents were Joseph Thomas Hames Colledge of England and Elizabeth Lewis of Wales. Joseph changed his surname to that of his first wife, Eliza Colledge, to avoid inheritance problems in Wales after her death in 1845.
Eunice was the fourth child out of six to be born into this family.
After the Colledge's came from England to America, they joined the William Budge Company to travel to the Salt Lake Valley. The company left Iowa on July 20.
Just two weeks into the journey, Eunice took sick and passed away. No mention is made of what sickness overtook her.
Eight year old Eunice is buried at Elm Creek in Nebraska.
