His parents died two years later. Henrich took charge of his five-year-old brother August, who also went to work at the brickyard carrying water for the men.

It was his introduction to the Mormon Church, which he joined in April 1865, and to his future wife, Petrina Boserup. They were married during their journey to Utah. The couple settled in Brigham City in a one-room house with a dry-goods box as a table and their trunks for chairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Henrich made a living making adobe bricks.
