Abstract
This
manuscript
is
a
short
,
typed
biography
,
five
pages
in
length
.
It
details
the
lives
of
both
Elizabeth
and
John
Nichols
, their
lives
before
they were
married
and
after
. This
biography
describes
the
hardships
endured
by
Elizabeth
and her
family
while
traveling
to be with the
saints
.
When
she and her
mother
and
sister
arrived
in
Nauvoo
shortly
after
her
father's
death
her
mother
had
difficulty
finding
work
since
she had
two
small
girls
to
take
care
of. She was
counseled
by the
Prophet
Joseph
Smith
to
find
homes
for her
little
girls
.
After
Elizabeth
was
married
and she and her
husband
started
on the
trek
west
she
tells
of the
hardships
along
the
trail
and then the
struggles
with
Indians
once
they were
settled
in
Fillmore
,
Utah
.
One
major
hardship
in
Elizabeth's
life
was in
1866
a
few
days
after
the
birth
of their
seventh
child
,
Elizabeth
suffered
from a
paralytic
stroke
that
left
her
without
the
use
of the
left
side
of her
body
. She
did
learn
to
get
around
and
do
most
housework
, but she was not
able
to
dress
herself
or
get
into
bed
alone
. Her
husband
suffered
a
spell
seven
years
before
his
death
that his
mind
never
fully
recovered
from
caused
by the
constant
worrying
over
money
.
Despite
all
of their
hardships
and
trials
they
remained
faithful
to the
church
and
very
good
,
strong
people
. The
author
of this
biography
says
of
Elizabeth
: 'her
life
was
indeed
an
example
of
physical
and
mental
courage.
