Sister Ra'chel Winter Smith Tanner died at her home in South Cottonwood on" Saturday, Nov. 7th, 1896, aged 78 years anda little over six months. She was the daughter of William and Jane Calkin Smith and was born at Bolton Warren county, New York, May 1,. 1S18. When she was but 13 years of age she embraced the Gospel and was;baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints. On the 30th of June 1836 she was married to Elder Nathan Tanner who was then laboring in the ministry and has been a well know figure in Church history for many years. She removed with her husband and Kirtland- - in the fall of the parents to same year, where her first child a'daughter, was bom. She afterwards went with her husband to Far West, Missouri where she shared in the terri-- . hie persecutions endured by4he Saints such as burning and pillaging their houses and driving the Saints therefrom, while her husband was under guard in the town. Sister Tanner and her sister were alone at her home about a mile and a half distant with her only child, an infant daughter, lying at the point of . death. Not knowing what hour she might be forced to flee, homeless and friendless, she with her own brave hands dug its little grave beneath the floor and sat the night out with her precious babe wrapped in its mantle prepared to consign its little form to mother earth should it breathe its last before she was forced to flee. Through her unbounded love, tender and affectionate care and fervent faith and prayers, the babe lived and gre.v to womanhood ; and alhad though she died at the early age of thirty-fiv- e ..ovpr forty descendents, the children .ind gfawV childrsn of Elder James S. Brown of this city. With her husband bister lanner left Far West in the exodus of the Saints, and moved toa-pJacalled New Liberty in Adams county, Illinois, where they remained for a couple of years when they removed to near Montrose just across the river from Nauvoo. Here they remained till driven from Nauvoo. From Nauvoo they went to Winter Quarters where they tarried a year and in 1848 they came to Utah and settled at South Cottonwood. Sister Tanner has been be all her loved as well as by her by . c rr r iner t acquaintances ana Kinu anecuonaie cisposiuon as lamuy ior w ell as for her devotion to the principles of the everlasting Gospel. She was fully prepared for her decease which she met with the same calmness and fortitude that distinguished her through life. She and her husba'.id, Elder Nathan Tanner were just previous to her departure among the oldest; if Jhey were not the very oldest living members of the Church. -- Her daughter Mrs. Emily S. Richards is well known in Utah, as is her son Nathan Tanner of Ogden. She called her children to her bedside and with a clear mind and full faith in her glorious future disposed of her earthly effects and gave directions as to her funeral.
