Ephraim Knowlton Hanks

B. H. Roberts, Comprehensive History of the Church, Vol.4, Ch.98, pp. 102-103 (emphasis added): The one redeeming feature of this unfortunate incident in Latter-day Saint history was the heroic efforts of the people in Salt Lake valley to save these unfortunate companies of emigrants. Especially is this true of the people in Salt Lake City and county; of Davis county; and latterly of Tooele county. These, because of their accessibility, bore chiefly the burden of the relief work; and there are men whose names deserve a permanent place in history for the activity and heroism then displayed in seeking to save from misery and death large numbers of their fellow men. Among these are Joseph A. Young, Thomas Alexander, Wm. H. Kimball, Ben Hampton, George D. Grant, Robert T. Burton, Cyrus H. Wheelock, Charles Decker, Ephraim K. Hanks, G. G. Webb, Stephen Taylor, Hosea Stout, Able Garr, James Ferguson, Daniel W. Jones, Isaac Bullock, Joseph Simmons.
