1876, in Mt Pleasant, Utah, and was also buried there. Her oldest living child, Julia, was 22
years old and her Dena was 7 years of age at the time her husband died. See credit below.

and particular about things being done well. Her house was made of logs and some of the logs
extended out in front. She sold her first home to her sons Peter and Jim Staker. Peter was a
sickly boy all of his life. He had heart trouble and asthma. He was not well enough to help in
the grist mill, but he could drive a team of horses. Peter died not too long after this on May 2
