Obituary: "Father Bird was born in Essex county, New Jersey, and had been a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints nearly twenty-seven years, having been baptized in Southport Chemung county, New York, in June, 1835. He emigrated to Far West, Mo., in 1838, and after the saints were driven from that State, he settled at Nauvoo, and shared in their persecutions in and ultimate expulsion from Illinois. From Nauvoo he went to the frontiers, and from there he emigrated to Utah, arriving in Great Salt Lake City in 1850, where he resided two years, and then moved to Springville.

He was universally respected, and lived and died a saint.--"53
