there alone and without a guide to take money to their families and
friends at the place they called Winter Quarters, on the Missouri River
opposite Council Bluffs, where Florence, Nebraska, now stands. It being
in the dead of winter, the journey was a hazardous and perilous one,
but they arrived safely Feb. 15, 1847, at the house of BRIGHAM YOUNG.
The following April the two soldiers joined the Company of Mormons
there, who became known as the Pioneers of 1847, led by BRIGHAM YOUNG,
who set out for Great Salt Lake Valley, to select their new abiding
place. The pioneers on their march were divided into Hundreds, Fifties,
and Tens. TIPPETTS is registered as one of the Eleventh Ten.
When near Fort Laramie, on the West Platte River,
Apostle AMASA M. LYMAN took TIPPETTS, WOOLSEY, and another man, and
left the column to meet the Pueblo detachments, who had left that place
on their way to Salt Lake. The junction of the two parties was made on
the 11th of June, on Lodge Pole Creek, and they proceeded from there on
