Daughter of Samuel Orme and Amy Kirby

Married James Nix, 9 Sep 1865, Salt Lake County, Utah

Died at the same time as the birth of her twin boy babies.

History - Sarah Ann Orme came to Utah in the Edward Martin Handcart company in 1856 with her brother, Samuel Washington Orme, and sister, Rebecca Orme, and her mother, Amy Kirby Orme.

The Tooele DUP and they have a couple of paragraphs written by Thelma Nix that says Sarah Orme Nix died with her twins in the winter of 1866. "The snow was so deep that the family could not locate the [Tooele Pioneer] cemetery... She and her two babies were buried in a grave to wait until spring for reburial." That spring the grave could not be located "and the family never found the true burial location."
