1Margaret Faragher Letters to Ann Faragher, Copy in Personal Files of Dianne Z. Stevens. "Margaret Faragher Letters to Ann Faragher
Letter 1
Glenrushen, Patrick
August 30, 1878
My Dear Sister,
I take this opportunity of writing a few lines to you, hoping this shall find you enjoying good health. As I am happy to say this leaves us all enjoying good health at present. Thank God for the same blessings.
It is a long time since I heard from you. Your last letter was dated Feb. 9th, and I wrote to you a short time before I received yours, and I have thought that you did not get it, as I have not heard from you since. I hope you will excuse me for not writing to you sooner. I have thought of you several times, but have put it off until the present.
I told you in the last letter that Joseph Cowley was seeing us, and I have not heard of him this good while. Our brothers and families are quite well of health, but brother Thomas's second daughter is left a widow. She was married to William Ray. He died in May last. She has two little boys left, and she will be confined very shortly again. Our sisters and families are quite well of health.
You said you would like to know who your Godmothers were. Old Tom Quirk, Dolly, wife was one. She is living yet, but a good age. The other died last spring. She was known a Moore, Nancy, wife and lived in Dalby until late years. She lived in Peel Town.
We had a very nice summer, not too much heat. We have pleasant weather so far for this harvest. We will be cutting next week. I think the crop of corn all over our Island is good this year.
We heard from Aunt Vondy not long ago. She was able to get out of bed every day. Uncle Philip and family are quite well. They heard from William a short time ago. He was well. I heard from sister Jane last April, and she sent a portrait of her own, and I think she looks well.
I received the book relating to the life and death of Brigham Young and was pleased to receive it. I hope to hear from you soon, and I will sen a quick reply. William is well and sends his best regards to you and all the children. Remember me to them all with my love.
When you write, let me know have you any thoughts about coming to the Island any more? Hoping this shall find you in good spirits.
From your ever loving Sister,
Margaret Clkark & William Clark
p.s. I did not mention that brother Thomas's son, Robert Faragher is married a few weeks ago to Lizzie Quilliam, that was in America. He is the fourth son. They are living in Glensmay. I sent you a Manx paper.

May 23, 1879
My Dear Sister,
It has been a very long time. I would like to know, are you hearing from Jane and Ellen? Work such as mining is not very brisk on this Island, as there is a great fall in the price of metal. Provisions of any kind are all reasonable here. Four pound loaf, five pence to six pence each; butter, one shilling to fourteen pence per pound. At present, eggs, twenty for one shilling, beef and mutton from six pence to eight pence per pound, lard, five pence per pound, but things are off until the present time.
I am very glad indeed to hear that you are comfortable now, with a good house and good children, hoping you may lonf enjoy comfort. I was glad. Now I think you might, if you do not come soon, I suppose you will think yourself too old to travel. One sight of your native land before you die would not be out of the way.
I do not know of anything that will interest you at present. I do hope to hear from you soon again, and I will send you a quick reply. William is well at health and sends his very best respects to you all. Remember me to all your children, and I send my love to youyrself.
I still remain
Your ever loving sister,
Margaret Clark,
to her sister, Ann Faragher.
p.s. Please write soon again, as I like to hear from you.".2Census, British - 1881 - Isle of Man, film # 458443, Familysearch.com.

1Irene Clark Email, 15 Mar 2007. "We don't have a full story on Ann Faragher, but know that she endured a lot of hardships, too. Her husband marched with the Mormon Battalion to help with the war in Mexico. They marched from Council Bluffs, Iowa, to Fort Leavenworth, California. It was during this time that Ann traveled with her team and wagon and entered the Salt Lake Valley with the pioneers. There is a brief story of her life written in a book about the wives of the Mormon Battalion. We just recently found at the Family History Center the record of the ship that she sailed on from Liverpool, England to America. She arrived at Nauvoo, Illinois on 12 Apr 1843."
