1 of 10
- Description
- Microfilm of typescript copies of Roanna Naegle Lunt's biographical sketches of her parents, John Conrad Naegle and Rosanna Zimmerman Naegle. The sketch of John Conrad Naegle recounts his running away from home to join the Mormons in Nauvoo; his travels with the 1846 company to Utah; his time in the Mormon Battalion; his experience at Sutter's Mill; his decision to go to San Francisco to buy new shoes before departing for Utah, which led to him becoming an extensive landowner and agriculturalist in the San Jose Valley; his 1853 trip by boat through the Isthmus of Panama to New York City and overland to Indiana; his return overland journey to Utah with his wife, parents, and younger brother (his parents and brother never joined the Mormon church); his land interests in California; attacks by Indians near Lehi; his funding of George Q. Cannon's printing of the Book of Mormon in Hawaiian in 1855; his move to Washington, Utah, to be in charge of the wine industry and cotton growing; his 1873 mission to Germany and Switzerland (his son George C. Naegle became president of the German mission in 1895); his flight to Mexico to avoid polygamy charges; and his purchase of 108,000 acres of land in Sonora in partnership with "Parson" Williams. The sketch of Rosanna Zimmerman Naegle (b.1841) describes her genealogy, including references to her grandfather Lawrence Hoke; her father George Gottlieb Zimmerman's decision to join the Mormons and move to Nauvoo in 1844; the family's overland journey to Utah with Henry Walton's company in 1851; and personal reflections of Roanna's family and character.
