The Life Of Elizabeth Skinner
On this day I decided to try to write a synopsis of the life of Sarah Elizabeth Skinner (my mother-in-law) and things I have heard her tell.
She was born on Madison Island, Hancock County, Illinois on 9 December 1844.
It was in December after the martyrdom of the Prophet Joseph Smith.
Her parents joined the Josephite [Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints] Church. They never came west.
She told of being sent out to herd calves and of losing her knitting needles.
She was taught to do all the tasks of home-making required in her day. She was an excellent hand at washing wool, making quilts, soap, salt rising bread, and dyeing both wool and cotton cloth.
She told of her father Levi Lewis Skinner making the family shoes. He also made brooms to sell on the market.
Her mother Catherine Burket had been married before to a man named Johnson and had three children, Noah, George, and Eliza.
Sarah Elizabeth was baptized when she was eight years old, 31 October 1852.
She married John Cunningham Mikesell when she was almost seventeen years old (1860).
Her first child died with the Croup [born 18 Oct. 1861]. Andrew Mikesell was born 5 Dec. 1862 in Iowa.
They left Iowa in July 1863, (I believe) went to Missouri, and camped on Missouri River for the 4th of July.
They traveled with her husband's family. She has told me of her travels. She was very miserable, being with the child again.
John Mikesell was born the following Spring, 7 March 1864, in Salt Lake Co. Utah. The hardships were many.
Some of the things her father-in-law said she didn't always take kindly to. She said he didn't approve of newfangled gadgets and said a sewing machine just made a woman lazy. He corrected her for feeding her baby wild berries.
She left one little grave in the East, one in Salt Lake buried by John Cunningham's mother, and two children buried in Morgan Utah.
Grandfather Mikesell died when Eli Delbert was thirteen years old, about 1889. Before his death, he was working in Eureka Tintic Mines [Eureka, Juab, Utah]. He was working assessment for some other person.
Will and Eli were with their mother when Grandpa died. She said he died of Tuberculosis or miners' consumption.
Grandmother and her boys moved to Teton Basin about 1900. She and her children kept close together although they moved around a lot.
Grandmother Mikesell came to live with her son Eli Delbert and his wife Mildred May Short in Ucon, Idaho in June 1902."
