William
and
Sarah

. The

years
old
, she
loved
to
read
. She
left
her
father's

of

the
plains
with
other
saints
.

Abstract
This
seven-page
typescript
from the
Margaret
Steed
Hess
collection
was
written
by
Annie
C
.
Tanner
.
Annie
opens
the
biography
with a
broad
introduction
before
writing
of
Susan's
life
.
Annie
describes
Susan
as a '
tall
,
healthy
,
beautiful
,
young
woman,
'
having
'
abundant
dark
hair
,
brown
eyes
and
tall
stately
figure.
'
It
was
difficult
for her
family
when
she
left
,
though
they
knew
it
was
right
, and
Annie
writes
of
Susan's
particular
difficulty
in
saying
goodbye
to her
grandmother
,
whom
she
knew
she would not
see
again
.
Susan
quickly
made
friends
and she '
won
the
favors
of the
captain
and his
wife
' in her
voyage
across
the
sea
.
Similarly
,
when
preparing
to
cross
the
plains
,
Susan
befriended
a
young
father
and
mother
, and
offered
to
help
care
for their
children
.
While
crossing
the
plains
,
Annie
describes
the
entertainment
during
the
evenings
, in
which
the
people
gathered
together
and
sang
and
danced
.
While
traveling
,
Susan
embroidered
cloth
,
which
she
used
later
as
baby
clothes
.
After
being
received
by
Ezra
in his
home
in
Farmington
,
Susan
'
busied
herself
sewing
for the
family
in the
Clark
home
,
making
pants
,
coats
, or
dresses.
'
Though
life
was
different
in
America
from in
England
,
Susan
accommodated
herself
and
learned
to
make
candles
,
dry
fruit
,
soap
, and
preserve
molasses
. She
did
extremely
good
needle-work
and was also
very
active
in the
Church
. She was
extremely
generous
with her
substance
,
time
, and
service
, and her
family
eventually
joined
her in
Utah
. In
1888
, she
took
care
of her
aunt
,
Susanna
Leggett
in her
own
home
, and
later
also
cared
for her
father
and
mother
.
Annie
concludes
the
biography
with a
reaffirmation
of
Susan's
faithfulness
in the
Church
, and the
accomplishments
of her
children
,
who
'
revere
with
loving
devotion
the
memory
of their
mother.
