Notes

BIRTH: Although birthplace is listed as 'Ehrenbrietstein, Hesse-Nassau, Preussen,' the province of Hesse-Nassau was not created until later, nor was the province part of Prussia at the time of Alexander's birth. It was officially known as the Confederation of the Rhine, États confédérés du Rhin (French), or Rheinbund (German), created by Napoleon after he defeated Habsburg's Francis II and Russia's Alexander I in the Battle of Austerlitz. The Confederation collapsed 19 Oct 1813 (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confederation_of_the_Rhine).
MARRIAGE: Ancestral File lists spouse Ann Welton (AFN BJNX-7K), but additional research is needed to verify whether in fact she was his wife
OCCUPATION: As noted at the State of Utah official website, Alexander is known as "Utah's first dentist"

T[homas].B[ullock]. very busy filling up the papers of the Captains of Twelve Companies and kept W. Majors, S.H. Goddard, and A. Neibaur busy in copying same—

Wednesday 7 Cloudy morning—dry, turn out teams at 4 AM to graze teams gathered up about 7—when the slow teams start off—followed by the rest of the camp who when they overtook them crowded past A. Neibaur in crowding & jamming along came very near killing Peart's Heifer & Bullock's Cow—was very pationate—we arrived in camp before the Bridge was repaired—a heavy thunder shower falling at the time—halted about 12—staid about an hour—the rain continuing the Pres. gave orders to form the caral this <(the East)> side the bridge—Cattle herded till near Sun down. Salted ours—then took them to Water & again tied them up—[blank space] An antelope killed this evening—

Monday 12 In the night the camp was sadly annoyed by W.W. Major's dog and A. Neibaur's dog, barking & howling for more than 2 hours. Jacob Peart's dog shot by some one, its entrails out—& left to linger a long time—it was then put out of its misery by young Morley—

Wednesday 14 Cattle turned out at 3—gathered about 7—started in same disorder this morning—on descending the Steep Bluffs—one of the brethren jeed against brother Neibaur's cattle. & being so sudden caused his team to break the Tongue Bolt—made a wooden one & then continued his journey—took the Upland bench, good road except five gullies in it which are rather troublesome—saw an Antelope the first on this journey—Came in sight of the three Camps on the South side of the Ford, several Wagons being on this side & not yet crossed over—formed our Caral on the North Bank— watered the Cattle and turned them out to graze—Strong wind from the South West all day. prevented fires being made round Caral until near night when wind ceased a little—after Cattle were tied up—Meeting at Isaac Morley's Wagon of our ten—sung & prayed. & received an exhortation from the Patriarch. Pres. Young had his Sheep sheared, on account of the barbed grass that has got into them—which is a great annoyance to them. about 3 P.M. bro Wells & Wood were sent by Pres. Young with a letter to H.C. Kimball they arrived in safety at Cedar Creek about Sundown & met the Camp.

Monday 19 Turned out cattle at 3 a.m. fine morning[.] strong dew—in about ½ an hour my spotted ox & my Bald ox were picked up, straggling—by bro Thomas, & brought to Wagons by him—so much for boys herding—Major instead of going himself sending his boy, & Neibaur sending his least boy. I had to lay aside my writing in order to herd two oxen—Grass very wet with heavy dew. I got wet feet.

Friday 30 Cattle unloosed at 3 A.M. poor feed—Cloudy morn. cool. Camp starts at 7¾ for the Bluffs—heavy dragging—Had to stop for Pulziphers Camp who had killed a Buffalo last night—after they started, we followed over the hill which was hard work on the Cattle—at 9¼ we got over—took a Bee line for Timber—on arriving at it took a turn to the right—up by the banks of Skunk Creek—at 12¼ halted to water & graze our teams—staid 1½ hour—then followed up its banks—when near the foot of the bluffs—went along to the West—crossed Skunk Creek—A. Neibaurs Wagon stuck in the mud—afterwards passed three small lakes on the South—going over a sandy road in many places—saw three Buffalo in a ravine—continued our journey until we arrived at a "Good Spring of Cold Water"—passed Pulzipher's Camp and formed our Caral under a high bluff—near a Spring of Splendid water that rises out at one hole which makes a stream about three feet wide, one foot deep with a very rapid current.

Tuesday 4 T.B sick all night of a fever—Cattle unloosed at 3 A.M. Blue Sky. Pleasant morning. Camp started at 8 A.M. going along the banks of the Platte until we arrived at the North Bluff Fork—several of the teams stopped to water teams & stuck in the Quicksand—I sent my yoke of Cattle back to assist Neibaur out—we then continued up the bottom following close on the heels of Pulzipher's Camp, some heavy dragging before we got over the ridge—when we had descended into the vale, came in sight of a band of about 200 Buffalo—they stood still until many of the men, women & children ran too near them, when they started off on a gallop, taking the side hill in the same direction as we were driving—we had a pretty view of a well contes[t]ed race for about two miles. we then descended to the bottom & turned our Cattle out at 1 P.M. no water, poor grass. staid an hour, then hitched up, passed Pulzipher's Camp, went thro' a new road going thro' Willow patch—a strait line then to the River passing by all the Camps that ought to be ahead of us. on arriving at the River, watered the teams, turned out the Cattle into good grass—after waiting about one hour. & seeing but a poor prospect of getting over the Sand hill to our intended Camping place—it was thought best to Caral on the River bank. Plenty of grass, water, wool, & some wood. Pleasant day.

Tuesday 11 Cattle unloosed at 3½ A.M. very dark morning
Camp starts at 7½ A.M. over a pretty good road. Wm. W. Major's horse got loose from the Wagon & started on full gallop, scaring the teams in 5 or 6 Waggons, which broke away in a furious gallop, but we have occasion to praise the Lord that no lives were lost, no Waggon upset & then in a short time all were safely gathered into line again—on returning with the old horse, Major's dog started Goddard's team on a gallop for the second time. directly afterwards Major's other Waggon met with an accident—the tongue bolt came out, cattle were unloosed, Peart's two & Neibaur's two Waggons shot round us—altogether this morning may be put down as "the first day of the Races"—without any serious accident—coming to good feed at 11 A.M. came to a halt to feed & water the teams, staid an hour & half, & again resumed our journey, went to the low Sandy Bluffs where we enter into the barren sage Country—then pull over some heavy sand, cross a dry river 30 feet wide, when a black squall was in the West sweeping a heavy cloud of dust in our faces that made it difficult seeing & Camp at 5 P.M. in pretty good grass —heavy thick cloudy night. Three Indians cross the River from the South, & came to Pres. Young's Carriage, about a mile before Carraling for the night. Isaac Morley kills a 7 rattled snake—after carraling, the wind died away.

Tuesday 1 Dull heavy morning—slight sprinkling of rain about 8 A.M. When the Cattle were driven up—all were ready to start except brother Neibaur who had a cow which strayed out of the herd; the slow teams started about 11 A.M. leaving the balance to stop & hunt here passed over the ridge—seeing another Company descending into the Valley in our rear[.] we passed by "the Sugar loaf Peak" over hills & dales until we came to the bed of a Creek, having three pool's of Water in it where we water our teams—again ascend another hill, on getting behind them went alongside about a ¼ mile to the North of them—over a hard level road; a Buffalo came from the hills, & stopt in the road about 60 yards in front of Gad Yale's team. it staid some time to look at him—when Yale drove a little nigher & it went away—we crossed two gulleys & then descended into the bed of a creek, with beautiful cold water running down it—Eight magpies on the trees on our right. then ascended another hill, over a level, and descended to A La Prele where we encamped at dusk. turned the Cattle up stream—there was very poor feed—after supper prayer meeting as usual—New Moon.

Sunday 6 A delightful morning[.] a few of the brethren wanting to go on their journey & it appearing to be a good fording place; the Cattle were gathered up—and we crossed the River about 11 A.M. Jacob Peart had a yoke of oxen strayed away which delayed us some time, when all had got safely over, we saw two horsemen coming towards us—when it proved to be Porter Rockwell & Horace S. Eldridge. they advised us to recross the River & go up the South side, as there is four miles of very heavy sand on the North side & would be killing Cattle—we accordingly recrossed the River to our old Camp ground. Capt. Goddard broke an ox yoke—Jacob Peart broke a wagon bow, & lost his tar bucket—at 3 P.M. we again made a start—took to the road, thro, heavy sage. & very dusty. crossed muddy creek, which was dry—passed a ridge of curious rocks representing grotesque figures dancing an Opera reel—descended a very ugly ravine bro Neibaur Broke a log chain—& bro Peart a drag rope—came to a Buffalo which had been killed by Hiram Gates—while we were dressing it, cut Jacob Peart's finger with a butcher knife—& while carrying the last of the meat to put into my big Wagon—brother Major's child fell out of the Wagon—the fore wheel ran over its fore leg, but praise the Lord, its leg was not broken—we continued our journey in a cloud of dust—came to Cahoon's Camp but very poor feed—passed on about two miles, the Sun having set. went down a couple of ravines & camped in the Timber, close by James Bullock's Camp—drove the Cattle across the Creek by moonlight.

Friday 18—Up by break of day. & started by the River Road to the place where I left "Bill" last night, & found him within two yards where I had left him, worried by the Wolves, he had laid down near some bushes before I reached the top of the hill—& altho' Job had been within a few yards of him, was the reason he did not see him—alas poor little Bill—I brought him safe about 6[00] or 700 miles further than many persons anticipated when I was at the Horn—
Camp starts about 8—goes to the Ford of the Sweetwater, cross it, & ascend the high hill to the Ice Spring—which we pass on account of the Alkali Dust—then over a heavy sand road, turned off the road (Bullock, Peart's & Neibaur's teams—the rest gone a head) to rest our Cattle & give them time to chew their cud—Lorenzo Snow's Camp passed us—after staying about ¾ of an hour, we continued our journey, ascending a very very long hill & then over a level plain, which was an uncommon wearisome journey to us—the Cattle were very tired, & hungry—we were almost worn out, having to walk nearly the whole distance—the Sun set when we had about two miles further to travel & another hill to ascend—Lucy, and Mary walked ahead to Camp to let them know we were doing our best to follow—met Capn. Goddard on the hill, when he turned round & piloted us along the road to the place where they were camped—crossed the Sweetwater again, & were glad to halt in the night in a place of safety—after the most tiresome journey, & the most fatigued on the entire route-

Pioneer Dentists and Druggists
Alexander Neibaur

[p 76] Alexander Neibaur, the first dentist in Utah, was born January 8, 1808, in Germany, the son of a Hebrew physician and surgeon. Alexander was to have entered the Jewish ministry, but instead studied dentistry in the University of Berlin, beginning practice in Preston, England. While there he married Ellen Breakel. He was the first Jew to be converted to the Mormon faith and was baptized April 9, 1838.

[p 77] Young Dr. Neibaur emigrated to Nauvoo, Illinois in 1841 where he became an active member of the Church, and prominent in Free-masonry, while setting himself up in the practice of dentistry. He advertised as follows in the (Mormon) Times and Seasons.

"Nauvoo, August 2, 1841: ALEXANDER NEIBAUR-SURGEON DENTIST, from Berlin, in Prussia, late of Liverpool and Preston, England. Most respectfully announces to the ladies and gentlemen and the citizens of Nauvoo, as also of Hancock county, in general, that he has permanently established himself in the city of Nauvoo, as a dentist, where he may be consulted daily, in all branches connected with his profession. Teeth cleaned, plugged, filled and scurva
effectually cured, children's teeth regulated, natural or artifical teeth from a single tooth to a whole set inserted on the most approved principles.

Mr. Neibaur having an extensive practice both on the continent of Europe, as also in England, for the last 15 years, he hopes to give general satisfaction to all those who honor him with their patronage.

"Mr. B. Young having known Mr. N. (in England) has kindly consented to offer me his house to meet those ladies and gentlemen who wish to consult me. Hours of attendance from 10 o'clock in the morning to 6 at evening.

"My residence is opposite Mr. Tidwell, the cooper, near the water. Ladies and gentlemen attended at their own residence if requested. Charges strictly moderate."

Alexander Neibaur spoke and wrote fluently in Hebrew, French, and German languages, read Latin and Greek, and spoke some Spanish. He came to Utah September 20, 1848 and erected his own house on which he hung his professional shingle as Utah's First Dentist.

The first number of the Deseret News, published in Salt Lake City, June 16, 1850 carried the following: "A. Neibaur, Surgeon Dentist, 3rd street east, 2nd south of the Council House, will attend to all branches of his profession. The scurvy effectually cured."

Alexander Neibaur's daughter, Mrs. Sarah Ellen Neibaur O'Driscoll, 93, Kamas, Utah, recently said: "In addition to countless extractions my father had about one hundred and fifty patients in Utah, including Brigham Young and family and the families of other Church leaders; he also filled the teeth of Elisa, daughter of Bishop Hunter, and those of the daughter of Governor Frank Fuller.

[p 78] "He usually used a dental turnkey, an implement with a hinged claw on a gimlet-shaped handle, for extracting teeth by twisting; but he later obtained forceps. These instruments were subsequently turned over to Dr. Washington F. Anderson. Cavities in decaying teeth were cleaned with a suitable pick and filled with alum and borax and then sealed with beeswax; the only anesthetic was laudanum. He was seldom paid in money; but accepted beet molasses, corn meal and pigweed greens. Much of his work was donated to widows and to others who could not pay."

Dr. Alexander Neibaur passed away December 15, 1883 after a long and distinguished career.
