Son of Daniel Wood and Emma Maria Ellis

The death of Nathan was Daniel's first child to die in the Salt Lake Valley, but his daughter Harriet was married to Hiram Yancey 22 November 1853, and their first child, a daughter Elizabeth was born 1855 and died soon after birth and was buried beneath the shade of an apple three in the south east corner of Daniel Wood's orchard on the Wood Farm. The second child born to Hiram and Harriet was a son John H., born 25 march 1856. Their third child was a son Parley P. Yancey born in 1857 and died soon after birth in 1857, and was tenderly laid to rest beside his sister's grave beneath the sheltering apple tree's shade.

Daniel and sons had planted fruit trees each year and now had near five acres of orchard on the south and east part of his farm. In the south and east corner of his orchard were the two small graves of his grandchildren.

At the instance of Nathan's death a plot of ground was marked off three rods square in the east and south corner of the orchard with two small graves therein and on Saturday afternoon, twenty-seventh of October the third small grave was made for Nathan Wood, son of Daniel and Emma Mariah Crowl Ellis Wood, Daniel's third wife. Nathan was born 9 December 1857 and died 27 October 1858 and the third small grave to begin this sacred family resting place. As the family sorrowfully stood around the three small graves, Daniel raised his hands and dedicated the plot marked off as the resting for all of his family who wished to be placed therein. He said the plot of ground should be kept as a sacred resting place for himself and family and asked God to protect it and recognize his prayer in heaven.
