From history @familysearch.org:
Annie Elizabeth Garner Pincock, daughter of Frederick Garner and Ann Horrocks Garner, was born April 2, 1863 at Ogden, Utah. She was the oldest of ten children. Being the oldest in this large family, she learned at an early age to work and accept responsibilities in the home. It was a Pioneer home, and work in those days meant all that work implies.
She was blessed with an alert keen mind, and although her schooling was meagre, she was an apt pupil, being always at the head of her class. She was especially good in reading, spelling, and as it is sometimes said, "The three "R's". She loved to read, had the ability to remember and visualize what she read, and was never at a loss for words in imparting it to others in a manner that made lasting impressions Her natural gift of wit, along with her many other gifts, talents and virtues, made for her many friends.
Annie was active in the Sunday School in the Ogden First Ward, and was a member of the "Retrenchment Society". She first met James Henry Pincock when she was thirteen years old. The childhood friendship continued to grow and after five years ripened into marriage. On November 24 1881, Annie and James took the train to Salt Lake City, went to the Endowment House and were married.
That first winter they lived in the front room of Grandfather Pincock's home. In the spring, James rented the Herrick farm in Ogden, and they lived there for two years. During this time Josie, their first child, was born. In the meantime, James had gone to the Snake River Valley in Idaho, and liked the country so well he wanted to return and help colonize. Annie was reluctant. She had already seen and experienced some of the hardships of pioneer life. James went first with Johnny Garner with the wagons and teams and all the necessities needed to survive. Annie and the baby followed on the train to Eagle Rock in May 1883. The wagon trip from there to St. Anthony was long and fraught with danger. The streams and rivers were running high.
They settled on the Island between the North and South forks of the Teton River, about two miles east of Sugar City, Idaho. James had built a log cabin. It had a dirt roof, no floor. The walls were bare logs with just plain mud used for plaster, and split logs were used for the ceiling. About all the furniture they had at this time was a one legged bedstead, a table, a few chairs and a stove with a hearth. Annie set up housekeeping.
The mosquitos were unbelievable. They were so numerous they would block out the sun, stampede the animals, the pigs would lay and squeal as the blood from the stinging bites ran down their bodies. Annie put mosquito netting all around her bed and fastened it to a frame on the ceiling, and when her housework was done, she would put her little rocking chair on the bed back of the netting, and sit there with her babies and do her mending, darning and fancy work.
There were no doctors, and their only medicine was the wild peppermint, yarrow and other herbs and sage brush that were gathered to help take care of the minor illnesses. When a child was born, it was the midwife who played the roll of, and was looked upon as an "Angel of Mercy". It was the midwife who helped to bring all seven of Annie's children into the world.
Annie was a good cook and an A-1 hostess. With her resourcefulness, it seemed no matter how many came in unexpectedly, she would soon have a good wholesome meal prepared, and everyone was happy. Mealtime was always a happy time, good laughs proving good for the digestion as well as for the soul.
Annie, from childhood, had an inborn faith and love for the Gospel, and was a fervent defender of the same. The Scriptures were her favourite reading, and their teachings were discussed and taught in the home.
Annie passed away September 6, 1932 at the family home in Sugar City, Idaho. Besides her husband, she was survived by six sons and daughters: Mrs. Robert (Josephine) Thomson, James Frederick, Clarence Burt, Mrs. Wilford (Anna Belle) Ricks, Ida Fern and Rulon "D", and twenty grandchildren. One daughter Alice Pearl preceded her in death. Services were held in the Sugar Ward Chapel and interment was in the Sugar City Cemetery, September 9, 1932.
