The Street family left Liverpool England June 30, 1868 under the direction of John Parry on the ship The Minnesota with 534 Mormons aboard. On July 12, they arrived at the port of New York. They were put in rail cars and moved to Laramie Wyoming. "We landed at Laramie [7/22/1868], the terminus of the U.P.R.R. in the then territory of Wyoming where Captain Lovelin of Brigham City was awaiting us with a mule train of I should think 55 or 60 wagons to take us on to Zion."
Simon married his first cousin, Mary Ann Bates Swetfield, a widow with three small children on March 6, 1872 by justice of the peace, Henry Reynolds in Wanship, Utah.
Simon worked as a miner, teamster, and farmer, where they lived for several years in Wyoming, then Park City where he worked in the mines.
After Mary Ann's death in 1883, Simon married his brother William's widow, Ann Kay in 1884. She had four children by William.
Simon and Ann lived in Park City for a short time while he worked in the mines. In the fall of 1886, they moved to Midway where Simon bought sixty acres from Fan Waddell.
Simon was musically inclined but never had lessons. He played the fiddle for the July 4th celebration. When young he played the violin at dances in Park City and Syderville. In his later years Simon played at all of the children's dances in Midway. Simon and Ann sang duets.
Simon helped raise three step-sons, three nieces and a nephew, seven children by his first wife Mary Ann, and seven children by his second wife Ann, and two grand nieces.
