Ebenezer Beesley (14 December 1840 – 21 March 1906) was a pioneer who immigrated to Utah from England in 1859, joining George Rowley's Morman handcart company at Florence, Nebraska, in June of that year and arriving at Salt Lake City in September. A gifted composer and musician, Beesley conducted the Mormon Tabernacle Choir 1880–1890,[4][5] and he founded Beesley Music Company in 1903.[6] At the time of his death in 1906, Beesley was survived by 11 of his 16 children, 40 grandchildren, and one great grandchild.[7]
