History of WILLIAM BEARD
by Carolyn Ostler, daughter-in-law of James D. Ostler

William Beard was born at Powick, Worcestershire, England, on the 1 Jan 1798. The son of William Beard and Alice Hales Powell. He was a cooper by trade.

He married Ann Freeman the 12 of October 1824. She was christened 11 September 1803 in Whitbourne, Herefordshire, England, and was the daughter of Thomas Freeman and wife Mary Jones.

To William and Ann were born four daughters and one son, as follows:

Mary Ann born 4 Jan 1826 at Whitbourne, Herefordshire/Matilda born 24 Feb 1829 at Whitbourne, Herefordshire/John born May 1836 at Whitbourne, Herefordshire, England/Elizabeth born July 1847.

Eliza may have been born near Worcester as the family lived near there at the time and were members of the Worcester Branch of the L.D.S. Church.

On the 19 December 1839, Wilford Woodruff left New York for England on a mission for the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day-Saints. On the 4 March 1840, he went to the Worcestershire District, where he converted and was baptized a great number of people, among them were William Beard and wife Ann who were baptized and confirmed members of the Church by Wilford Woodruff the 26 April, 1840.

William became active in the Worcester Branch of the Church. His oldest daughter Mary Ann was also baptized in April 1840. Matilda may have been baptized at the same time.

In July 1848, William baptized and confirmed his daughter Emma and his son John. On the 20 January 1849 his daughter Mary Ann and Matilda left their parents and family to go to America for the gospel's sake. They left Liverpool 3 February 1849 on board the "Henry Ware" with Robert Martin Company, consisting of about 225 souls.

William and Ann now had a greater desire to go to Utah where the main body of the saints were gathering and where their daughters expected to go as soon as possible after reaching America.

Mary Ann married on board ship. She married George Mason. William and Ann were still looking toward the day when their dream of coming to America would be realized, however Ann was never to experience that joy, as she passed away in May, 1853 at Old Storridge and was buried in Alfrick Parrish, Worcestershire, England.

On the 27 August, William married Mary Holt, daughter of Phillip Holt and Sarah Galson. She was born on the 26 April 1829 at Cradley, Herefordshire England.

William Beard and his wife Mary and three children by his first wife Anna namely, Emma, John, and Eliza, left their home to emigrate to America on the 26 March 1855. They left Liverpool aboard the ship "Juventa" which left England for Philadelphia, Saturday March 31, 1855 with five hundred and seventy five saints aboard, under the leadership of President William Glover.

This voyage was the most prosperous one. There was no sickness except seasickness and a few cases of measles among the children. There were no deaths.

During a terrible storm a child was born which was named Juventa, after the name of the ship.

The "Juventa" docked on the fourth of May off Cape May. The next day it was tugged up the Delaware River to Philadelphia

On Tuesday, Mary 8 they went by railroad to Pittsburg. About two hundred of the company went on the Steamboat, "Equinox" to St. Louis, Missouri. They landed on the 17 May, just forty six days after leaving Liverpool.

About one hundred and fifty emigrants went to St. Louis on the "Washington City".

The successful crossing of the "Juventa" Company gave a new route by way of Philadelphia. The old New Orleans route was discarded by the saints never to be used again.

The company of two hundred who went from Pittsburg to St. Louis on the "Equinox" continued up the Missouri river to Atchison, Kansas, where she landed her passengers on May 28. Here a number became ill and several died.

Elder Glover said he had $50.00 more money and three more in his company, which would indicate three babies were born during the trip from England, to Atchison, Kansas. This would also increase the amount of cash.

A daughter was born to William and Mary Beard on May 28. Since the Company reached Atchison on the day she may have been born there. They named her Fannie Jane. (born 28 May 1855.)

The Beard family came across the plains with the fourth Independent Company under the leader, Captain Richard Ballantyne. It contained the first drive of the Perpetual Emigration Fund, and consisted of four hundred and two souls, forty five wagons, two hundred and twenty oxen, twenty four cows, three horses, and one mule.

The company left the camp ground near Atchison, Kansas, July 1st. They started across the plains on Jul 3rd., and arrived in Salt Lake City, Utah, 25 September 1855.

This company passed through the streets of the city of Union Square while the Nauvoo Brass Band played lively music. The band had met the company at Willow Springs, as their old Captain William Pitts was with them returning from a mission in Europe.

It is not known how long they remained in Salt Lake City, however, later they moved on to Springville, Utah where William's daughters lived, Mary Ann Beard Mason and Matilda Beard Westwood.

They were in Springville, Utah in 1857, according to the following records taken from the early Church records which are found at the Genealogy Library in Salt Lake City.

Baptisms at Springville, Utah were 29 March 1857 by Thomas Holley and confirmed by N. T. Guymon.

It was the custom to rebaptize the emigrants when they arrived in Utah; William was baptized by his son-in-law.

It was here the Beard's son Phillip was born on the 25 November, 1857, named for his grandfather Phillip Holt.

On the 1 October 1859 William and Mary went to the Endowment House and were sealed as man and wife for time and eternity. William's first wife, Ann Freeman, was sealed to him for eternity.

On the 2 December 1859 a baby girl was born to them. They named her Sarah Ann. Birth place not known but William Beard was ordained a High Priest by Reuben Miller, September 2, 1861 in the Cottonwood Stake.

Another son was born on the 10 December 1861 in the Cottonwood Stake.

Another son was born on the 10 December 1861 in Mill Creek. He was given the name of Hyrum.

William Beard passed away 12 February 1862 at Mill Creek. He is buried in the Salt Lake City Cemetery. Cause of death was general debility.

Baby Hyrum Beard died of brain fever 17 August 1862. He too is buried in the Salt Lake City Cemetery by his father.
