Description

Two travelling capes worn by Caroline Lina Knetcht Enz on her journey from Switzerland, her native country, to America in 1867. Upon arriving in America, Caroline crossed the plains to Utah and helped members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints settle in many places across the western United States, including Santa Clara, UT and Mesquite, NV. The brooches belonged to her daughter, Mary J. Enz Reber.
