Her death certificate names "Hesecah" Allen as her father, which is apparently incorrect
"She went from Nauvoo to Winter Quarters with the Saints and from there came to Salt Lake valley with the company led by President Brigham Young in 1848. She was the first settler on the corner opposite and south of the Salt Lake Theatre on State street and is said to have been one of the first producers of potatoes and watermelons in Salt Lake valley. She was a consistent Latter-day Saint, a good wife, a kind and affectionate mother, and she stood as mother many times to other children, with the same motherly care. She did considerable temple work and came to Salt Lake about three years ago, with the intention of continuing this work, but her enfeebled condition as the result of her advanced age prevented her from realizing this cherished ambition." (Deseret News, Tuesday, 8 June 1920, p. 1)
Cause of death: senility/old age
