HAMBLIN WIDOW DIES IN ARIZONA
Mrs. LOUISA HAMBLIN, 85, widow of Jacob Hamblin, one of the greatest scouts and peacemakers of the pioneer west and one of the best known characters of early southern Utah history, died at her home in Thatcher, Ariz., the latter part of December.
Mrs. Hamblin was a native of Berne, Switzrland and was one of the first converts to the Church in that country. Her husband died in 1886.
Mrs. Hamblin as a girl of 14, pulled a handcart all the way from the Missouri River to the Great Salt Lake, and from then until the middle 70's she lived in Utah's Dixie, mostly at Santa Clara. She and her husband later lived at the now deserted Sunset, Headquarters of the now extinct Little Colorado Stake, later moving to Round Valley at what is now Springville, and finally to Pleasanton, N.M. where her husband died.
She is survived by the following sons and daughters; Walter E., of Kanab; Mrs. Inez H. Lee of Thatcher, Ariz., Willard of Eager, Ariz., and Mrs. Frank C. Lee of Los Angeles, and many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
