She was born in Glasgow, Scotland, February 12. 1826. When an infant she was stolen from her mother and was raised by a foster motlur who taught her to read the Bible, fear God and lead a good, virtuous life, therefore when she heard the true Gospel she was ready to receive it. , She emigrated to Utah in an early day and was married to John Baxter in the Endowment House in 1857 by whom she bore ten children, five boys and five girls, feven of whom survive her, two eons and one daughter having passed into the spirit world many years ago. In 1869 her husband died leaving her a widow, therefore she had a very hard struggle to rear and care for fo large a family of email children, but the Lord heard htr cry and blessed her and fitted her back for its heavy burden, She, being a natural born nurse, was much sought after by the sick and afllijted and At the first organizashe did much good. tion of the Belief Society of the Goshen ward she was chosen treasurer June 2, 1809. She was also blessed and set apart as a midwife and comforter of the. sick, which calling she labored in up to the time of her last illness. In June, 1874, she moved from Goshen to Spanish Fork, where in the year of 1875 she was chosen president of the Belief Society of that ward, and she Ipbored in that capacity until the fall of 1889, when she was honorably released on account of her time being so occupied with the sick, she felt she could not do justice to both callings. When the ward was divided into four in the year 1892, she was prevailed on to be first counselo to Sister Hansen of the Fourth Ward Belief Society, Spanish Fork, and she worked in love and union with the sisters for many years, and she was known by old and young as Grandma Baxter. Toe last few years of her life she has spent mostly among her children, some of whom live in Goshen, her old home for the greater part of her time, for the past five years, but she coujd not content herself to lead a quiet life but busied herself among the sick and lent a helping hand as long as she could. We have enjoyed her company and good adv'ce in our Belief Society meetings, where we listened with much attention to her good counsel, thrilling experiences and strong testimonies of the truth of the Gospel. She has done much work in the Temples of God for the redemption of her dead relatives and friends, will be there to meet anL welcome her rfor she has gone to her reward. kind Father Who has blessings rich and rare. 15ut phe's gone to tier A Amelia Gouri.ky, J I'M a M.
