Yesterday’s answer:
B. From
the life of Mary Sophia Reed Crockett: Mary Sophia Reed was born in
New Hampshire, 1833. Her family joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints early. Her father died in Missouri when Mary was only three years old.
At the age of fifteen she came to Salt Lake with her mother and
other siblings. Food was always a problem. They dug sego lily bulbs, and made
corn into Hominy. Mary would eat this with a pin, one kernel at a time, so it
would last longer.
After finishing school Mary went to Payson to teach, while there
she met Alvin Crockett. They were married in 1852. Her wedding ring was made of
gold he brought back from the California gold rush.
