Санта-Клара: Тарихы мен тұрғындары

American city in Utah, founded 1854

Hamblin's first home in Santa Clara was destroyed in the flood. His second wife Rachael saved one of their young children from drowning, but the child soon after died from exposure. Rachael never fully recovered from exposure she suffered during the flood. Swearing to avoid such a risk again, Hamblin built a new home on a hill in Santa Clara. It is owned today by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints (LDS Church), which operates it as a house museum. Latter day Saint missionaries give daily tours. 19th century Santa Clara was largely inhabited by immigrants who converted to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints in Switzerland and came to Utah. Among these was Daniel Bonelli, who after the 1862 flood became a pioneer colonist of St. Thomas, Nevada in the Moapa Valley. He was a farmer, salt miner, and owner of Bonelli's Ferry, at Rioville, Nevada. This was on the road between southwestern Utah and Arizona, at the confluence of the Virgin River and the Colorado River.
