Notes
When Elenor was five years old her parents joined the Church and went t
o Far West, Missouri with the Saints. They were driven from there home t
o Illinois, and they went with the Saints to Quincy, later moving up th
e river to Nauvoo.
We know little of her girlhood days, except that she lived in Nauvoo. Sh
e was fourteen years old when the Prophet Joseph Smith was martyred, an
d she was sixteen years old when the Saints were driven from Nauvoo. He
r mother and her older sister were charter members of the first Relief So
ciey organization. She was not old enough to join at that time. The Kel
sy family moved from Nauvoo to Quincy when the Saints were driven out. He
re she became acquainted with a neighbor boy, Levi Walter Everton, and ma
rried him when she was nineteen years of age. She had three children, La
uretta, Marion Cecil, and Emma Samantha. After seven years of married li
fe her husband died.
She was a widow in Quincy for four years, then in 1860 her father, who ha
d moved to Utah nine years previously, made a trip across the plains by o
x team to get his daughter and her two children and bring them to Utah
. He arrived in Quincy in the late summer of 1860, and made preparation
s to return immediately to Utah. His son, Thomas, and his daughter, Diana
h, lived in Iowa. On the road to Utah they stopped in Iowa to visit wit
h Thomas and Diannah, who persuaded them to remain in Iowa during the win
ter. The following spring they started for Utah, and some time during th
e summer landed in Smithfield, Utah. At that time the people were livin
g in the fort.
Elenor and her children spent the winter of 1861 and 1862 with her fathe
r and mother in the old fort at Smithfield. In 1862 she married Chaunce
y Rogers of Logan and moved to Logan with her two children. If her hom
e were still standing it would be numbered about 35 West on 3rd Street, L
ogan. Logan had been settled less than three years when she moved here
, so that pioneer conditions still prevailed during the time of her resid
ence in Logan.
After five years residence in Logan another move was made, this time to B
loomington, Bear Lake County, Idaho. They were among the first settler
s in Bloomington and endured the hardships of pioneering in that new coun
try. When their wheat crop failed it was necessary to get wheat from Cac
he Valley to carry them through the winter, and when snows were deep an
d roads poor and few, it was not always easy to get medical aid, food an
d other necessities from the nearest settlement in Cache Valley.
After several years' residence in Bloomington, they made another move, th
is time to Richmond, Cache County, Utah. While we do not have the exac
t date, as nearly as I can compute, they moved to Bear Lake in 1866. The
y moved back to Richmond in 1870, and in 1871 moved to Lewiston, where th
ey became pioneer settlers again.
In 1873 Elenor was taken with an attack of typhoid fever and died. Her b
ody was buried in the cemetery at Smithfield, the home of her parents. S
he had four sons Chauncey Rogers, namely, Woodfrod, Ottis, Walter and Osc
ar.
My father's description of her would indicate that she was of a very peac
eable disposition. There were three daughters in her mother's family. T
he other two sisters could not agree, but either one of them could agre
e with Elenor, or when they had a disagreement it was her privilege to br
ing about a reconciliation and make peace between them. She was well bel
oved by her brothers and her sisters. Mrs. Rawlins of Logan 3rd Ward, wa
s a neighbor to the Rogers family in Lewiston. She says Elenor was a good
-looking lady.
