No member of the Mormon Battalion now is living. The last to pass was
Harley Mowrey, private Co. C, who died in his home in Vernal, Utah,
October 21, 1920, at the age of 98. He was one of the men sent from New
Mexico to Pueblo and who arrived at Salt Lake a few days after the
Pioneers. On the way to Salt Lake he married the widow of another
Battalion member, Martha Jane Sharp, who survives, as well as seven
children, 41 grandchildren, 94 great-grandchildren and thirty of the
latest generation. Mowrey and wife were members of the San Bernardino
colony.
