About Frederick William Ellis
He was seven yrs old when his mother died. As a young boy he went with his father to
sell his meat, two days a week. The other days he would work at any available job he
could find. He was apprenticed at age 16 to learn the painters trade, for four years, until
the family left England for America.
On 23 May 1866, he set sail from London on the ship "American Congress" with 350
other Mormons. They were six weeks on the ocean being dependent on the wind, and
arrived in New York 4 July 1866. They were not permitted to land because it was a
holiday. Next morning they were loaded on a passenger boat and proceeded toward New
Haven. From there they came by train to St.Joseph. They traveled alternately in Canada
and the United States, walking the last thousand miles.
On 24 Sept they finally arrived in Salt Lake City, where Fredrick's sister, Elizabeth, met
her tired, weary, brown and ragged brother. He remained with her during the winter,
attending school for two months and working at any job he could find.
He went into the railroad business March 1869 at Corinne, Utah, but after ten weeks the
railroad was finished, and business began to fall off, so he sold out his interest and moved
to North Ogden, in June 1869, where his family had moved.
