Eliza, her sister, married Michael Holden, and with a sister, Caroline, started for Zion. Eliza died of cholera in Groves, Missouri, leaving a child. Rebecca's sister, Amy, died in England in the year of 1853. Rebecca, with her brother Samuel Washington, her sister Sarah Ann, and mother, started for Zion.
They crossed the Atlantic Ocean on the ship Horizon and landed in Boston. Then by rail they crossed to Iowa City where the Martin Handcart Company had to wait for carts to be made.
They survived the terrible ordeals of being frozen in an early snow crossing Wyoming. Help came to the stranded company, and they arrived in the Salt Lake Valley, November 30, 1856.
The Orme family settled in Tooele, Utah.
