Married 2nd: Sarah Goode (widow Marshall ) Date: 1857 , Ogden, Utah Born: 4 Mar 1822 , Mitcheldean, Gloucester, England Died: 24 Apr 1904 , Dayton, Idaho Joseph was apprenticed in a rope factory as a boy and later worked in the coal mines in England . He met and married Mary Whitehead . Nine children were born to them while they lived in England . Six of them died young. The family joined the Church in 1841 . They saved so they were able to come to America about 1849 . For almost three years they lived in Minersville (New Mines), Pennsylvania , where Joseph worked in the coal mines to get enough money to go to the Valley. While there, two more children were born to them. One died as an infant. Joseph and his oldest son, Benjamin , went west to California by way of the Isthmus of Panama to work in the gold fields. His wife agreed to meet in Utah in two and a half years. Apparently she lost the money or was defrauded out of it and was unable to make the long trip. She had no way to let Joseph know so when he got to the valley, he was probably told that his wife had died. Joseph met Sarah Goode Marshall in Ogden, Utah . She was a widow with two boys. They married and had two more boys. In 1860 , son Benjamin found out that his mother was still alive so he went to Pennsylvania to get her and the three children. When she got to the valley and found Joseph had married, even though polygamy was practiced, she felt she could not live that way. Joseph and Sarah , and Benjamin and his mother, moved to Franklin, Idaho where Mary died in 1874 . Joseph took his family and moved to Dayton, Idaho , where he raised grain and cattle. He caught cold and died suddenly. Children of 1st wife: William , b. 1832 , Oldham, England . D. 1836 . Child. Elizabeth , b. abt 1833 , Oldham, England . D. 1840-50 .
