Subject: Henry Hollist story from book about Elizabeth Hollist and John Henry Stinger From: Clifford Ard Date: Thu, 19 Oct 2006 07:07:08 -0700 (PDT) To: Seth Hollist Seth, My saga to try to find out who the other people were in that mystery photograph has led me in a new direction. I found a book on Elizabeth Hollist and her husband John Henry Stinger and her family that gives more information on Henry Hollist, and their lives in England and their trip to America. It looks like Elizabeth Hollist wrote a story of her life, at least it looks like it was quoted in this book. It would be nice to get a copy of her entire life history, as it might give us even more detail. I am going to send you one scan in this e-mail, and another in another e-mail, as the files I get from these scan of the micro film are rather large. I have more scans of their history let me know if you want those as well. I plan to re-type this information so it is easier to manage, but it may take awhile before I get that. I will send you the typed version, when I get it. I saw the web site now that you moved it. It is still as great as ever. I appreciate your efforts, and plan to send you a check to help with the expenses of maintaining the site. Hope you enjoy these. cliff PS here is the information on the book if you want to look for it in the Family History Library, or order the microfilm for yourself. Elizabeth Hollist and John Henry Stinger John Henry Stinger was born in Ohio in 1839. His parents were from Germany and he left home at 16 and explored the west. In 1859 he met Elizabeth Hollist, an English immigrant and convert to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Florence, Nebraska and joined the church before marrying her. They came to Utah and had 13 children, eventually settling in south eastern Idaho. This record traces their descendants as well as giving their ancestry in England and Germany.
