This reportedly was Alfred who died of cholera on Wood River in eastern Nebraska.<br /><br />What is the source of the information that his headboard was seen floating "down stream" two days later? All the streams along the trail in Nebraska flow east. This includes the Platte River and Wood River (a tributary of the Platte). In two days the Gardner Company could have traveled as much as 30 miles or more to the *west* leaving the grave far behind. If the headboard had been thrown in a river it could have floated ten miles or more to the *east* in that time meaning that the distance between the wagon train and marker could have been as much as 40 miles or more (with this distance increasing every day). <br /><br />The only areas where the trail ran downstream along a river was west of South Pass at the Green River or in Echo Canyon (and a few miles to the west). In both cases the stretch of trail along the river is relatively short and it is not too likely the wagon train would have still been on the river two days later.<br /><br />I realize that you can only repeat what any available documents or family stories report, but there does seem to be a problem. In short, the story of the floating headboard seems rather improbable. Can you clear up this problem?<br />Richard Rieck<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3181573406501429694.post-32176126837413065492012-10-02T11:19:10.102-07:002012-10-02T11:19:10.102-07:00I'm Daniel Jones, grandson of Lea May Hunt Jon...I'm Daniel Jones, grandson of Lea May Hunt Jones, daughter of Nephi Hunt, who was the son of Elias Hunt and Aluna Terry.
