Sister Pool was born at Windsor State of Maine, Nov. [November] 21st, 1790, moved when young to Prince Edward's Island Brittish [British] America. She embraced the Gospel in the year 1811, and in 1815 left her home, a widow, with her children, and went to Boston. In 1840 she was one of the members, that sailed in the ship Brooklyn, around cape Horn to California. While there many of the "Battalion boys" found a home with her and her son. In the year 1850, she moved to Salt Lake City, where she lived in the seventh ward until ? [1900], when she moved, with her son to Franklin, where she lived until her death. Sister Pool lived the life of a Latter-day Saint as near as she knew how, her faith was very strong. She believed and embraced every principle of the Gospel that has been revealed. She was a quiet inoffensive woman, and was beloved by all who knew her. She died firm in the faith, with the hope of a glorious resurrection. ‘Tis o'er, the silver chord is loosed, The golden bowl is broke On earth; at all its glittering toys She's cast a final look. For ninety years she wandered here Within her house of clay, But now her happy spirit's fled To realms of endless day. And now she's gone, we'll not recall Her happy spirit here, For in the light of God she soars in an immortal sphere. Amid the Saints that's gone before Methinks I see her stand A crown of victory on her head, A golden harp in hand. [com. |
