. . . I, Elizabeth Bullock Bissenger, was born on a sailing vessel, Cynosure four days out at sea on July 10, 1863. Mother was alone as Father had to attend to some business matters before he could sail. After the ship was out a few days, measles broke out in the company causing twenty-two deaths, among them my little brother, two years old. He was buried in the sea one hour before I was born. When we landed in New York we were met by Grandfather James Bullock and he helped my mother cross the plains to Salt Lake City. . . . [p.58]
