Hey you cousins out there, this email with the Casteel story follows right along
my Casteels/Castile migration. Do you have a Robert? On a recent census I found
and then lost a Meshach was living with them. He was much older. I thought
perhaps he was a servant but later found they were relations. What do you guys
have on this?
In His Service and yours with love and prayers, -

? One-minute history
Longer biography
BY DARYL JAMES?
FROM? 'JAMES/HATCH ONE MINUTE HISTORIES' (1994)
? ?? Margaret Jane Casteel was? born Sept. 1, 1825, in
Cooper County,?
Missouri.
She joined the Church of? Jesus Christ of? Latter-day Saints
in Pike County,
Illinois, at 14 and???moved to Nauvoo sometime during her
teens. In Nauvoo she
met?
William? Decatar Kartchner and married him on March 21,
? 1844, at 18.
? ? She and? William began a westward journey in? September
1844, but went
only as
far? as Iowa? City that year. They spent the winter in Iowa
doing work to
? build?
rations but finally returned east in March 1845 due to? lack of
supplies.?
? ? Their rations dwindled to one? ear of corn per day per person
on this?
return
? trip, and in this condition they walked in water and mud up
the???Iowa River.
Margaret and William turned west across a large prairie?
toward? Sioux country
and
traveled this? direction until some Frenchmen and Sioux?
came to their wagon?
and
invited them to camp near their fort. The Sioux???pointed to
Margaret's and
William's cheeks, realizing how? near starvation? they were,
and gave them
dried?
buffalo meat and roasted corn. A Frenchman,? M. Henrie,
? allowed the
Kartchners to
stay with him on the? condition? Margaret would cook while
his Sioux wife was
? away. The Kartchners gladly? took this kind offer and
stayed? with M. Henrie
until
July 1845, when the? chance came? for them to go on a
steamboat down the
Missouri
? River to St.? Louis. In the spring of 1846, the Kartchners
? joined a company
of
pioneers? in St. Louis headed for? the Rocky Mountains.
? ? William and Margaret? spent the winter? of 1846-47 in
Pueblo, Colorado,
where
they had? their? first child. This baby, Sarah Emma, was the
first? caucasian
born
in the? territory of Colorado. Finally,? on July 27, 1847,
the young family
arrived? in the Salt? Lake Valley -- just three days after
the company of
? Brigham?
Young.
? ? Around 1850 Brigham Young asked the? Kartchners to help?
settle San
Bernardino, Calif., and? the family crossed the Mohave Desert
to? the coast.
By?
this time William and Margaret had two girls and a boy.
? They? lived near San
Bernardino about seven years until Brigham? Young called
the? Mormons in the
area
back to? Utah near the end of 1857. Margaret's parents? had
immigrated to? San
Bernardino but chose to stay behind.
? ? On the???journey back to Utah Margaret gave birth to
Alzada Sophia, her?
seventh? child. Her joy was short-lived, however, because?
the next day her?
two-year-old son James Peter died? while the family was still
camped.?
Margaret
? had already lost her eldest son, William Ammon, in San?
? Bernar-dino, and the
pain
of losing James Peter was great.? She refused to? have him
buried in the
middle of?
the desert away from civilization, so? William placed the?
body in a large
milk
urn and sealed the top.? They? carried the urn on the wagon
the rest of the
trip?
and buried James Peter? in the urn at their new home in
? Beaver City, Utah.
The
Kartchners later? spent a short? time in Nevada and then
moved again to Utah
around? 1870.?
? ? During these years Margaret had four more children,? giving
her and?
William a
total of 11;? however, of these 11, only eight lived to?
adulthood. Margaret?
was
always busy raising chickens, spinning, weaving,???and
putting up fruit.
? ? In 1877, the Church called the? Kartchners to? help
settle Arizona, and
they
? responded by moving to Snow-flake, Ariz. By? this time
Margaret? had spent 34
years helping to colonize four western???territories; she
had walked thousands
of
miles? behind slow, plodding oxen? with no roads to follow
and only a? wagon
box
for her home. Now, in? Snowflake, she hoped? to have a haven
of rest. A
permanent
home was? built,? but Margaret lived only three years to
enjoy it. She? died in
Snowflake on? Aug. 11, 1881, at age 56.
