  • Introduction

    Clark Meeker was a member of an 1854 wagon train that left Council Bluffs, Iowa in the spring of 1854 heading for Puget Sound. His mother died of cholera in the far eastern edge of Wyoming. In central Wyoming near Devils Gate Clark drowned in the Sweetwater River. Years later his older brother Ezra looked unsuccessfully for his grave. Meeker Wagon Train Members: Jacob Redding Meeker—age 50 Phoebe Shaw Baker Meeker—age 53 Oliver Meeker—age 26 Amanda Clement Meeker—age 15 Usual Clark Meeker—age 17 Jesse Dunlap—age 30 Hannah Jane Meeker Dunlap—age 20 John A. Packard—age 33 (Bonney, History of Pierce County, page 124) Lulu M. Packard—age 30 (Pioneer Reminiscences, page 114) The following people/families were with the Meeker train when it joined the Vermillion party on May 26th, but we do not know when or where they joined the Meeker train. C.P. Anderson and family—Goodell and Austin simply call them Mr. and Mrs. Anderson. Bancroft in his History of Washington supplies the initials. The Andersons traveled with the Meekers from May 29th until July 1st, when they sprinted ahead. Mr. Hammond—disappeared while searching for missing cattle on June 7th and was never found. It was believed that Indians captured him. Mr. Wright—confusing, as there was a nine-year-old James Wright with the Ebey train. The Meeker train's Mr. Wright seems to have arrived with the Andersons and left when they departed. An unidentified African-American family (Goodell and Austin) whose names we never learn.
