| Notes |
- Samuel Barnes Taylor was a pioneer of 1852. He was born at Ashton, Unde r loyd, Lancashire, England ,16 october 1841, the youngest of a family o f 1 2 children. He crossed the plains three times, once with his parent s an d twice when he went back for immigrants in 1862 and 1863. But h e settl ed down when he married Eliza Jane West 1865 in the Old Endowmen t House i n Salt Lake. They had seven Children who lived to grow up. Th ey were, M ary Jane, John W., Harriet, Sarah Ann. Naomie, and Samuel L. . Eliza Jan e was born born at Borrowash, Derbyshire, England in 1847 an d came to St . Jose in 1851 with her parents and four other children aboa rd a sailin g ship. But when they got to St. Jose, cholera was so bad th at her fathe r and the rest of the children died and she and her mother b ecame a par t of a company that took three months to cross the plains. W hen she wa s old enough her stepfather taugh her to spin on the flax whee l where sh e spun all the thread for their towels, tablecloths and bed ti cking. A s she grew older she learned to use the wool wheel and spun woo l for fo r six different families. During the grasshopper plague that oc cured whe n she was small, she was sent out to gather weeds and thistle s that the f amily could eat. In her account of her life she told of rem embering ho w good the first rye flour was she ever had tasted in the on e pancake sh e allowed to have. When fall came her stepfather took the c hildren to th e canyon to gather service berries, chokecherries and elder berries to bot tle. The fruit was preserved in molasses because they ha d no sugar. Tha t same year the father was ill all winter long and the yo ungsters had t o saw wood for the fire. Since they had no money for shoe s, they went ba refoot with only rags tied around their feet to protect t hem from the col d. In spite of their efforts their feet were often froz en. With the co ming of Johnston's army the family moved to south to Pr ovo River to avoi d the soldiers. Eliza Jane's stepfather would go int t he city to work a s a carpenter and receive flour as pay. Then she and h er two stepsister s would wade in the river and catch fish with their han ds. which was th e only meat they had. With a background reflecting a st rong concept of t he work ethic, Samuel Barnes and Eliza Jane worked toge ther to raise a fa mily and in both the church and the community. Samue l Barnes helped to b uild the Utah and Salt Lake Canal, and was one of th ose who chose the sit e for the Pleasant Green Cemetery. He was also i nvolved in school acti vities here. Eliza Jane worked as a Relief Societ y teacher with Franci s Hardman for 25 years, handling the whole easter n half of the ward whic h extended to 4800 west. At age 79 she won firs t prize at the Utah Stat e Fair with a quilt having more than 1,100 piece s in it which were hand-s ewn. Out of the eight people who came out her e on that spring day in 186 8, Eliza Jane was the last survivor. On Octo ber 1, 1934 she said " I a m the mother of seven children, 40 grandchildr en, 56 great-grandchildre n and am still well at the age of 86 years an d five months. On Jan 25, 1 935 she died quietly in her own home. Thi s was taken from a newspaper, E agle-Advertiser (Murray Utah, Thursday se ptember 13, 1979. Note: For wha t purpose I do not know. The original co py is in the hands of Shirley Ha rding Davis Clausen, A great-granddaugh ter. Retyped by Charlotte E. Davi s a daughter-in-law of Shirley.
