. . . I was born October 7, 1855 in Norwich, England a son of Jonathan and Sarah Florence Grix. We sailed from Liverpool September 22, 1869 on the steamship Manhattan and arrived in New York at dusk October 6. We landed the next day, my birthday when I was 14. We had a rough voyage on the Atlantic. There were three days of severe storm. On October 16 we landed in Ogden from New York by train. Joseph Lawson was in charge of our company. . . . [p.175]
