Later that same year a second daughter, Mary Wadley Smith was born into the Smith household on 12 Dec 1840 in Much Marcle, but soon died. A history written by John & Jane's youngest daughter Harriet Emily Smith indicates that "Mary died the fall after [John and Jane] joined the Church. Because they hadn't had the baby christened in the Church of England, the minister refused to give [Mary] a burial place in the church yard or give [her] a Christian burial. This was because they were now Mormons. The sexton knew father and mother and sympathized with them, and unknown to the minister, he accepted the little child and buried it in the church yard" [likely St. Bartholomew's Church graveyard, Much Marcle, Herefordshire, England].
