Yesterday’s answer:
A Sego Lilies
From
the life of Frances Ann Otten Crossland Adams:
Frances Ann and her husband joined the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints in May 1851. They decided to take their three young girls to
join the Saints in Utah. Frances was expecting her fourth child. While they
were in Keokuk, Iowa, just four days before they began their journey across the
Plains, Frances Ann gave birth to a baby girl. It was not an easy birth and she
was confined to her bed in the wagon through much of the trip. The long and
arduous journey was exceedingly difficult for her husband and proved to be
fatal. He became ill with Mountain Fever and died near the Bear River in
Evanston, Wyoming.
Suddenly,
Frances Ann found herself a widow. She was still weak and ill from childbirth.
She was alone with three little girls and a baby.
They
arrived in the Salt Lake Valley about September 26, 1853. She found a meager
dwelling and tried to find work.
They
found themselves totally without food during the cricket invasion of crops. She
determined that they would seek the Lord’s help. They all knelt and prayed all
night for assistance. The next morning they saw that the whole back yard was
covered with sego lilies.
