DEATH OF MRS. EBEL
We are called upon to chronical the demise of an esteemed lady in our midst -
the mother-in-law of Gen. Salomon, our Surveyor-General, who died on the 22d
instant at 11:15 a.m. and was buried yesterday.
Mrs. Henrietta Ebel was born in Hanover, Germany, May 3d, 1797, was married to
Christian Ebel, a Protestant clergyman. In this happy marriage eight children
were born, four of whom died in infancy. She also followed her husband to his
grave. In 1847 she emigrated to America, where the oldest daughter lived. Here
she was grieved again by the death of that daughter, who left to her care three
infant children. Once more she was afflicted by the death of her youngest
daughter, the first wife of Gen. Salomon.
As the head of a family of minor children, and infant grandchildren, she battled
bravely in a strange country, won the admiration of all who knew her, and the
devoted love of her children.
Since 1862 she lived in Gen. Salomon's family, which she followed from Wisconsin
to Missouri, and finally to Utah, where now, under our ever blue skies,
everlasting love follows her to her grave.
