Nauvoo, Hancock, Illinois.  In 1843 he was ordained a high priest and served as
a high councilman in Lima, Adams, Illinois (HC 5:427-28).  He was endowed on 6
February 1846 in the Nauvoo Temple (Nauvoo Temple Register).  He suffered from
religious persecution in Illinois and fled to safety in Iowa Territory.  In
Council Bluffs, Phillip and his brothers David Garner and William A. Garner
enlisted in the Mormon Battalion.  They marched with the battalion from Council
Bluffs to Santa Fe.  On the march, Phillip fell into a deep ravine and broke
three ribs, and was subsequently assigned to the sick detachment to winter in
Fort Pueblo.  After wintering at the fort he migrated to the Salt Lake Valley,
arriving on 27 July 1847 (Pension File).  On 16 August 1847 he left the valley
for Council Bluffs (Esshom, Pioneers, 885).  After uniting with his family, he
migrated back to the Valley in the George A. Smith Company, arriving on 27
October 1849.  In 1850 Phillip settled with his family in Ogden, Weber, Utah,
where he was given a patriarchal blessing on September 1854 by Isaac Morley
(Patriarchal Blessing Index, 15:170).  On 24 May 1862 he was sealed to his wife
in the Endowment House at Salt Lake City (TIB).  By 1870 he possessed only $20
in real wealth (Utah Federal Census, 1870).  Phillip died from rheumatism.

HISTORY:

1)  "William resided in North Carolina until 1834, when he migrated to Adams
County, Illinois.  In Quincy, Adams County, he was married to Sarah Workman by
Reverend John A. Bristow, a Methodist clergyman (Pension File).  He and his
family untied with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  On 20 June
1844 William signed an affidavit stating:  'On 15 June 1844 at the Morley
Settlement in Hancock County, Illinois, three farmers came to him and asked
[him] to take up our arms and join with them in going to Nauvoo, to take Joseph
Smith and others prisoners; second, to remove with our effects to Nauvoo
immediately; or, third, to give up our arms to Col. Levi Williams and remain
neutral (HC 6:511).  He also declared that neighborhood mobs forced him to
leave his home in order to save his life (HC 6:511).

William and his family removed to Nauvoo, Hancock, Illinois, where he was
ordained a high priest and endowed on 22 December 1845 in the Nauvoo Temple.
On 3 February 1846 William was sealed to his wife, Sarah, and also obeyed the
law of plural marriage with Elizabeth Ann Dunn in the Nauvoo Temple (TIB;
Nauvoo Temple Register).  He and his families fled from religious persecution
in Nauvoo to safety in Iowa Territory.

In Council Bluffs, William and his brothers Phillip Garner and David Garner
enlisted in the Mormon Battalion.  At the time of his enlistment he was 6' in
height, having a light complexion and blue eyes (Pension File).  He marched
with the Battalion from Council Bluffs to Ciudad de los Angeles.  He was the
only one of the three brothers to complete the battalion trek to California.
On 14 April 1847 in California he officiated at the first Latter-day Saint
baptism (Life Sketch, William Garner).

William and three battalion companions made 40,000 bricks in San Diego (Diary,
Philip [sic] Garner).  He was discharged on 16 July 1847 in Ciudad de los
Angeles.  After his discharge he worked in California to earn money for
migration to the Salt Lake Valley.  After removing to the valley he continued
his journey to Florence, Douglas, Nebraska, in 1848.  In Florence he joined his
family and relocated with them in a walnut log cabin in Pattawattamie County,
Iowa (Life Sketch, William Garner).

His life was interwoven in the settlement and development of Pottawattamie
County.  His ability in agriculture was recognized by Iowa state officials, who
honored him by naming the township of 'Garner' after him.  William owned
approximately five thousand acres of land, and in 1857 he built a gristmill in
Garner township.  In 1868 he erected a woolen mill, owned seven hundred sheep,
and built the Ogden House Hotel at Council Bluffs.  When the hotel was
destroyed by fire, William and his partners sold the site (Field,
Pottawattamie).

He was a Democrat and served on the board of supervisors for Pottawattamie for
several years.  He was known for his charitable contributions to the less
fortunate and was affectionately called 'Uncle Billy' (Field, Pottawattamie,
832-35).  William died on 29 March 1892 at his residence.

His widow, Sarah, was present at his death and attended the funeral.  She
resided in Council Bluffs and by age 70 was 'quite infirm' but financially
independent (Pension File).

                   HISTORY:

1)  "At age 15, David migrated with his family to Lima, Adams Co., Illinois,
where he united with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1839.
In Nauvoo, Hancock, Illinois, he was ordained a seventy and received his
endowment on 28 January 1846 in the Nauvoo Temple (Nauvoo Temple Register).  He
and his wife, Dolly, fled from religious persecution in Nauvoo to Iowa
Territory.

In Council  Bluffs, David and his brothers, Phillip Garner and William A.
Garner, enlisted in the Mormon Battalion.  He left his wife and three children
on the banks of Mosquito Creek, Iowa Territory, to march with the battalion.
He marched from Council Bluffs to Santa Fe, where he was assigned to the sick
detachment and sent to Fort Pueblo (Tyler, Concise, 169).  After wintering in
the fort he migrated to the Salt Lake Valley, arriving on 27 July 1847.

On 16 August 1847 David departed from the valley to Council Bluffs, where he
united with his family (Carter, Heart, 8:414-15).  They then migrated to the
Salt Lake Valley.  From 1850 to 1870 he resided in Ogden Canyon, Weber, Utah,
where he increased his real wealth from $30 in 1850 to $1500 in 1870 through
farming.  His personal wealth increased from zero in 1850 to $1000 in 1870
(Utah Federal Census, 1850, 1870).

David was given a patriarchal blessing on 6 February 1879 by John Smith
(Patriarchal Blessing Index).  He became a president of the Seventy-eighth
Quorum of the Seventy (Esshom, Pioneers, 885).  David lost an eye while
skinning a muskrat.  He resided in a stone home located on fifty acres of
farmland in Ogden (Pension File).
