Sort of a fun thing: I was researching one of the passengers, Quartus Sparks (I picked him because his name was interesting), when a sentence on a page about him caught my attention: "Brother Wall had just returned from a mission to Australia and brought back of company of saints with him to California. He was accosted on the street and later was called on at his hotel room by apostate Mormons he says threatened to kill him. In that group he names Dr. Andrews, Mr. Chatman, Quartus S. Sparks and others he knew but did not name. He got away and continued his journey to Salt Lake."
The "Brother Wall" that Quartus allegedly threatened to kill was my 4th great-grandfather, William Madison Wall.
