Verdigris River

A few days after commencing our journey, we were joined by Mr.

Sharp, a Methodist clergyman, from Verdigris River, about thirty miles south of Geneva.

And a few weeks later, we overtook a large train of emigrants, among whom were a family from Allen County, with whom we were acquainted, Mr. Larimer, wife, and a child, a boy eight years old.

Preferring to travel with our small train, they left the larger one and became members of our party.
