Memoriam to Edwin Ruthven Purple (1831-1879), who was born in Sherburne, New York, worked in New York City from 1847 to 1850, when he moved to San Francisco and Sacramento, and thereafter moved between New York and California in his employment--describing Salt Lake City and Fillmore and areas between, when he worked in Salt Lake City in 1862. He returned to New York City permanently late in 1864, married Mary Frances Hawley in 1868, and became an avid genealogist in his later days.
