Mrs. Ann Myers

Ann's Father was of German descent and her mother was Irish. On March 4 Ann married George Myer in Pennsylvania. She made her own wedding dress. She had woven all her linens and material for sheets and pillow cases. She also made doughnuts for all the wedding guests.

George and Ann made their first home in Bucyrus, Crawford, Ohio. They moved to Logansport, Indiana where there fifth and sixth children were born. In the Autumn of 1843 the family members were baptized into the LDS Church and moved to Nauvoo, Illinois.

After being driven from Nauvoo by the mob, they moved to Council Bluff on the bank of the Missouri River in western Iowa. Her husband George, made a living by making plows. The Myers were among the twenty families who left to live with the Indians that winter. Ann experienced all the hardships, heartaches, and persecutions of early pioneer life. They crossed the plains with Heber C. Kimball Wagon Company and arrived in the Salt Lake Valley on September 23, 1848.

They went immediately to Sessions Settlement (Bountiful). George built a sod "hut" in which they lived that winter. In the Spring, he built a log house in Salt Lake City. Then George was called in 1852 to serve a three year mission in Germany. Ann was both mother and father to her family during this time while she supported her family while he was away.

This second marriage was a troubled one, but Ann always opened her home and heart to the children of this marriage. Ann was the mother of ten children. She died at the age of eighty-four.
