Daughter of John Martin and Sarah Price
Married Christopher Layton, 3 May 1850, Northill Sandy Church, Thorncut, Bedfordshire, England
Children - William Layton, Christopher Lorenzo Layton, infant female Layton, Eliza Ann Layton, Erastus Layton, Emma Jane Layton, Charles Martin Layton
Sailed from England 2 Oct 1850; traveled with the A. O. Smoot Company Utah to Salt Lake City, Utah arriving 3 Sep 1852
Death - On the 1st of January, 1864, my wife Sarah M. was taken sick with a severe pain in her side and breast causing her much distress. Everything that could be done for her relief and comfort was done, but when the disease developed, it proved to be a cancer of the worst kind. In April she requested me to take her to Kaysville, which I did and my wife Caroline tenderly cared for her.
In May, President Young sent me an invitation to accompany himself and some of the apostles on a trip to Bear Lake, which I accepted. After my return, Sarah M. grew much worse. Death came to the relief of my wife Sarah M. on October 25, 1864. This was a great blow to us all, for in her we lost our best counselor and peacemaker, a true wife and loving mother.
How true it is that -
"We live in deed, not years-
In thoughts, not breaths-
In feelings, not in figures
On a dial"
She was true and faithful to the principles of the everlasting gospel to the end of her mortal life, and is gone to await the resurrection of the just, who have gone before her. May her children emulate her worth to their lates generation! She was a member of our Relief Society, in which capacity she was greatly missed. She was laid to rest in the Kaysville cemetery.
The following verses were composed by my wife Sarah B. (Barnes) for the consolation of her children:
"In this life thy soul was weary,
But now thy spirit is at rest;
And we hope with joy to meet you,
With the assembly of the just.
To us thy memory is ever dear,
Thy kindness stamped upon our hearts;
And we hope with joy to meet you,
Where we never more shall part"
