Conversion Story:
     In 1881, William Jr. emigrated to Utah with Elvira and the children following a few months later.  Elvira’s parents and several relatives had been baptized into the “Mormon” church in the 1840’s and 1850’s.  Elvira herself was not baptized until five years after her marriage to William Jr. in 1879, and he followed and was baptized in 1881 after arriving in Utah.  What William and Martha thought of this, we do not know.  As far as religion went, apparently the Dix family, including William Jr., were associated with the “Independents.”  When William and Elvira’s family emigrated, it was said to be a tearful parting.  We do not have exact dates and places of William and Martha’s deaths.  According to what we do know, Martha died in 1882; she would have been about 60 years old.  William died in 1889 at about age 66.
