Zemira "Jim" Palmer
Zemira Palmer was born August 9, 1831at W. Loughborough, Frontenac, Ontario, Canada, the son of Phebe Draper and George Palmer IV.  Zemira was the sixth of seven (perhaps 8) children.

After the death of his father in 1833 his mother married Ebenezer Brown on August 26, 1842, and when she was given the privilege of accompanying her husband on the march of the Mormon Battalion, Zemira asked to go with them. Although he was not old enough to be a soldier he was given permission by the officers in charge to go provided he could carry a gun and all the other necessary equipment. His mother, knowing the need of a growing boy for extra food, often purposely burned the bread served to the officers so that they would cut off the blackened crusts. These she saved for Zemira who said they tasted better than a piece of pie under other circumstances.

In "A Concise History of the Mormon Battalion in the Mexican War" Sergeant Daniel Tyler states that Zemira served the Mormon Battalion as a servant to Colonel James Allen until Allen's death. He then served Dr. George B. Sanderson from Fort Leavenworth to Santa Fe; then served Lieutenant Lorenzo Clark until the corps were discharged in San Diego.

After the disbanding of the Battalion in Los Angeles, Zemira helped his parents pan gold in order to get an outfit and enough provisions to join the Saints in Utah.

Municipal Records of Toronto, purchased 5/2000, and recorded by the Clerks of the Peace, for Cramahe & Haldimand County,Northumberland County, read and recorded by two researchers, tell us that Zemira's father is George Palmer Jr. His grandfather is George Palmer who went to live in Cramahe Township, Northumberland County, Upper Canada in l793, as a settler along with 40 other families.

Zemira gave he was born 9 Aug 1831 in Loughborough, a township in Frontenac County, Midland District, Upper Canada, Ontario; also in Family Record, handwritten, by his mother, Phebe Draper Palmer, & on Pre-Endowment House FHL Film #183,393 Bk A, #1987; His & Sally's Sealing record #l83,394, Bk B, p.33, witnesses M.J.Grant & W.W. Phelps.

Explanation for any who might call up their PAF Palmer Pedigree chart from the Internet or any Church record, and find this ancestor listed as with a nickname (Jim) Zemira Palmer can know that a descendant has made a terrible mistake of using a nick-name he supposed was used by our Zemira Palmer, which is very wrong, he is written only as Zemira in all records found of him & in his letters he signed Zemira or just Z.

Municipal Records of Toronto, purchased 5/2000, and searched, tell us that Zemira's father is George Palmer Jr and his mother is Phebe Draper, that they lived first in Cramahe, Northumberland County, were married there where Lovina Palmer [b. 20 July 1816] & Asahel Palmer [b. 26 Jan 1819] were born.

His father, called George Palmer Junior, sold his Grant land and moved to Haldimand Twp, where his bro William George Palmer was born 25 August l821. They moved out of Haldimand before 25 Apr 1823, (copy obtained) & they removed over 100 kilometers east to near Kingston, at Loughborough Township, Frontenac County, Midland District, Ontario, Canada, where his sisters Eliza Palmer [b.31 May 1824] and Lydia Palmer [b. 15 Oct 1826], & Zemira Palmer [b. 9 Aug 1831] were born, and his sister, Rhoda Palmer was born there on March 15, 1834; and where his father died in Dec. 1833.

Zemira spent only 2 years & 4 months in Loughborough with his family, and his grandparents, William Draper & Lydia Lathrop Draper & his grand uncle Thomas Draper Jr. & Mary Mosier Draper & their children; 2/l819 Census of Loughborough Township shows names of this Thomas Draper, wife as Hannah (Mary) & one son, William Carey, who is not his son, but born to his wife Mary Mosier who md lst to Carey; A son Thomas, probably Reuben, the only son b.before 1819, also named were their daus Viny, Mary, Ruth & Anne.

Zemira's mother joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints on 17 February 1833 in Loughborough where a Branch of the Church was organized in 1833. Also Thomas Jr & Mary Mosier Draper, along with Wm & Lydia Lathrop Draper, all leave Canada by late l834 or l835 and are found living in Kirtland, Geauga, Ohio. This great uncle Thomas died in Pike Co.IL. l841.

Mother Phebe Palmer with her children Asahel, William George, Lydia, Zemira and baby Rhoda move with her Drapers to Kirtland, Geauga, now Lake County, Ohio, U.S.

Zemira not five by the 28th March 1836, when his mother received her Patriarchal Blessing there, and Zemira's grandfather, William Draper Sr was ordained a Priest by D.C.Smith. No doubt all were partakers of the great Dedication of that great Kirtland Temple. First temple built, and visited by the Savior, the ancient prophets, Elijah and others.

1838, Mar to Sept 10th, Zemira with his mother Phebe Draper Palmer, his bro. William & sisters Lydia & Rhoda (not listed by name, but under his uncle Zemira Draper-6 persons), listed with Kirtland Camp of Saints travelling to Missouri Read of others of that camp group named in The History of the Church Vol.III, pgs.92 thur 138).

The Drapers start with this group, but drop out rather than go to Missouri about l0th Sept 1838 in Edgar County, IL, 494 miles from Kirtland, Ohio, because of funds and elderly age of his grandfather, William Draper Sr. & Lydia; Also his sister with husband Henry Munroe, two aunts with Vanleuven husbands; and Thomas Draper (Jr family) and others names.

His brother Asahel Palmer's 2nd child, Emaline Palmer gave her birth place as Sangamon Co, IL, where they may have contacted each other then or sooner.

1840 June U.S. Census of Pleasantvale (see map), Pike, IL, Zemira age 9 is shown in household of his uncle Zemira Draper & grandparents, William & Lydia Lathrop Draper Sr. In the Next house was his mother, and his brother William George 19, sisters Lydia 13, Rhoda 6; next house uncle William Draper, next house uncle Alfred R. Draper, all at Pleasantvale, a precinct in Pike County, IL. Pg.96 shows his uncle Marvin Draper & gd uncle Thomas Draper Jr's family, (Films 007,645, Pike County, IL).

Feb 24, l842, his brother William George Palmer was married to his grand uncle Thomas Draper's daughter Susan Draper. Nothing more found about Susan, said to have died soon & William George is not found again until he is with the Philamon Merrill Company in 1856 going to Great SL City, with his 2nd wife, Ellen Perdun/Purdun.

!1839-42 a Nauvoo, Hancock Co.,IL. census shows his brother Asahel (written as Asel) & wife Evaline PARMER, part tax & members of a Ward, also his mother as P(hebe) D(raper), Palmer, a member of the Church there (probably only a visit for her to be with Asahel). Phebe had married Ebenezer.Brown [1802-1878] 28 August l842 [at Pleasantville, Pike County, Illinois].

By 1844, Zemira is with his uncle Zemira Draper & his grandparents at Morley Hancock County, IL, a settlement in "Spokes on the Wheel", named by the Prophet. Mother now Phebe Draper Palmer Brown has moved into a settlement called Bear Creek, with her daughters Lydia & Rhoda Brown, [not given as Palmer because of 1942 marriage to Ebenezer Brown]; also Lovina Palmer with her husband, Henry Munroe. The mobs had driven the saints from their lovely homes in Pleasantvale,

Page 4 of 16

Pike County, IL. although they formerly were treated as good neighbors. One history item read by Newel Palmer gave that our Newel Knight was sent by the Prophet Joseph Smith to organized this branch into a Stake as it had become that large.

1844, Apr. 8th, Phebe D. Palmer Brown is at Bear Creek settlement some miles south of Carthage & far distance more from Nauvoo, but she goes to the temple and is baptised for her deceased husband, George PALMER (father of Zemira). We find her back to the temple on 24 Dec 1845, for her endowment, & his Uncle Zemira Draper and grandparents are at NV temple on 25 Dec 1845.

The prophet, Joseph Smith & his bro. Hyrum are murdered at Cathage, Hancock, IL, 6/27/1844

!The Saints are driven from these places and from Nauvoo, where their beautiful Temple was destroyed. (June 27, 2002, Nauvoo Temple again built & dedicated) Zemira's bros Asahel & William George Palmer remained & found in Sangamon Co., IL, where Church History (Vol.3) speaks of the Drapers. Grandmother, Lydia dies at or near Montrose, Lee, Iowa, where Zemira Draper remains for a time, but Phebe Draper PalmerBrown & Ebenezer Brown are with her daus near Garden Grove, Iowa, dau. Lovina Munro where Henry Munro dies in l847; and dau Lydia md Anthony Bruno 1846 & both remain in Iowa until after their husband's deaths, then go to Utah.

Zemira along with his mother at Mt.Pisgah hears that the Government want 500 men as soldiers for the War with Mexico. At Council Bluffs, Iowa, Ebenezer.Brown signs up, as does his mother, who goes entire march one of 4 women; and Zemira as Orderly for the officers, although only l4 until August l846, all in that Mormon Battalion, the only Battalion with names rather than a number.

Military Service: Zemira, was an orderly to Lt Col. James Allen until his death, 23 Aug 1846, then other officers.

Zemira was only 14 until 9 Aug 1846, when the Battalion left Council Bluffs, Iowa Territory, on 6 July l846, to the conclusion of its March of over 2000 miles. Zemira was entitled to much praise for his patriotism & bravery. They were discharged 16 Jan 1847, at San Diego. 81 officers & men reenlisted, performed garrison service at San Diego.

Then on to Los Reyes, Ciudad de Los Angeles. It is said that some arrived in Salt Lake Valley on 1 Oct 1847, but Zemira went with other young men later. It is noted here that Zemira was in the Army to seal our borders from Mexico;

His father had been a Soldier in the War of 1812, to seal the borders of Canada from U.S. but Canada called it, The War with the Americans.

Gold was discovered near Sutter's Mill on 24 Jan 1848. Sarah Arletta Palmer, writes as quoted from Harriet Esplin-6/1953: "Zemira worked as a Bar Tender in San Bernardino, where he went to school in the day, where he had a Spanish teacher. He went to Utah with a detachment of the Mormon Battalion who arrived in SLC later that year". It is told Zemira panned gold and obtained $500.00, then went to Great Salt Lake, Utah. His mother & Brown came to Utah later in l849, (read in Book pp 860-863).

At Salt Lake he went to school and worked at the carpenter trade. He wrote songs and poems for different occasions and was a great social leader. He loved to dance the old Reels & Quadrills, made a fine figure on the floor, being straight as an arrow and moving with grace & ease. When boardering at a lady's place he noticed that his white pillow slip got very dirty, so he made himself a nightcap which he was very careful that no one could see. He wore a mustache, which he kept trimmed very neatly".

1849, he in company with nine men to ferry California & Oregon Emmigration over the Green River.

!1850 Census, Zemira is listed in Great Salt Lake, Utah, age 19, with James Hibbard age 19, and George Stiles 22.

With his own team he crossed the plains to help gather the Saints. Counselor to Bishop William Draper, his uncle, in Willow Creek, now Draper, Utah, for a short time.

l Jan 1851, he had found his [1] Sally Knight. She writes in her history that they were married at Salt Lake City. Then a very special record tells that they were sealed at 2/5 p.m by H[eber] C[hase] Kimball on 18 Sep 1855, in the Endowment House; witnesses were J.M.Grant and W.W. Phelps. No temple dedicated in Utah until 6 Apr 1877. (Document in Film #l83, 394, Bk B, p.33, ENDOWMENT HOUSE).

By 30 March 1856 at 7:00 p.m, we read Zemira did marry [2] Caroline Jacques in the same document & witnesses were George W. Jacques & Israel Ivins). (7 March 1855, an Endowment House RECORD in FILM #183,393 (25165,pt.l3) shows #l987, for Zemira Palmer born in Upper Canada on 9 Aug 1831 & Sally Knight born at Gallatin a township in Clay County, MO. Then the St George Temple was ready and they lived near, when on 25 Oct l877 Zemira took Alma Zemira Palmer and had him and his twin sisters, Mary Palmer b. & d. 8 Jan 1855 & Martha Palmer b & d l Jan 1855, sealed to them. This tells me that as more revelation came and was understood, they complied, and lived by all new knowledge and commandments.

1856 Census of Provo, Utah, shows Zemira Palmer, Caroline Jakes (Jacques) & Sally Knight, her children-Alma, Mary & Martha, & dau Lydia (FHL Film 505,913, pg 963, & folder #32); p.962 a Thomas Jakes family & p.963 James

Aug 4, 1856, Zemira is at the Church farm Salt Lake County, when he & Sally receive a Patriarchal Blessing by John Smith, Zemira scribe for her blessing of 20 Aug 1861, when both have another Blessing by John Young, Patriarch, at Provo Valley. Zemira gave he is son of George & Phebe Draper Palmer born in Province of Upper Canada 9 Aug 1831. Sally gave she is dau of Newel & Lydia Knight, b. Galliton Township, Clay County, Missouri. (Greg Collinwood 1/2000, shared these copies; which copies were sent to the Family History Library in Salt Lake City. 6/2000 the Ensign said Patriarchal Blessings will go to the FHLibrary now (2002) for use by all.

They made a fine family & worked in the Church callings, & accomplished many great works thoughout Nevada & southern Utah. They made a fine combination and go forward to bless the lives of their children, accepted & fulfilled all callings from the Church authorities.

The Deseret Newspaper said of the 24th Celebration in l860 in Provo Valley, Zemira sang an appropriate song and the day ushered in by the firing of Musketry under the direction of Capt Zemira Palmer. Zemira has 3 or more pieces of property in Provo, which he donated to B. Young for the Church. About this time her brother, Jesse Knight, was blessed to find a Gold Mine, which got the Church out of debt & helped to keep the BYU going.

He lived in Heber City from 1861 to l865, where we find in Book "How Beautiful upon the Mountains, a Centennial History of Wasatch County", 1963 by Wm James Mortimor, quote:pg. 9, Zemira Palmer named on Fort Heber map; pg 15 gave West Side. Zemira Palmer spent the winter of l861 along with 15 other families named on that side, Zemira at top NW; pg. 17 gave Zemira Palmer Constable for precinct No.l; (Children shown born there were George A. l862, Susan l863, James Milo Dec l864 & Mary Dell l Sept l864). Page 467/8 gave a short history date & place of his birth, his mother's Pat. Blg mentioned & listed 9 names of Sally's 12 children & 5 names of Caroline's 8 children.

Zemira kept a Diary of his activities. Many pages were missing by the time Lenna Cox Wilcock shared her 37 pages she had typed about 1954 from the original, then in possession of Inez Hoyt, dau of Emma P. Heaton. Lucile Brubaker, sent Lois Allen 37 pages of that copy. Much of the following items were learned from his Diary, dated l Jan l872 to 9 Oct l879.

His obituary notice gave date of 4/11/1865 when he was called to southern Utah and located by Pres. Snow at Meadow Valley. His Diary gave a date 1 Jan 1872, when he tells of his years at Panaca, Eagle Valley, Dry Valley in Lincoln County, Nevada, where he speaks of the many activities he did there, of paying his tithing and his taxes. This place was in Lincoln County, which became known as Nevada State, not Utah, and the saints were being charged taxes by 3 states. He moves his families to southern Utah. (read and Diary)

The winter of l873/74 they are at Panguitch, where his first child, son Alma Z. Palmer did go & had bought land. Zemira's Diary tells of teaching school in the kitchen of Bro. William D. Kartchner's home, to their children and his own.

11 Apr 1874, was requested by Pres. Young to move to Springdale on the Virgin River & take charge of that place, in Washington County, Utah

A quote from his Diary, p.90, "Oct 24, l877, in the Temple (St Geoge) had our son Alma Zemira & two twin daughters, Mary & Martha who were born before we had our sealing, sealed to us, being according to the Law of the Lord".

Nov 13, l877, he writes: "having been appointed to take charge of the Cotton farm, I, in company with Bishop Hogan, started for that place. (worked hard)

Feb 2, l878, Quote "Attended Priesthood meeting at St.George & was set apart as Presiding Priest at the Orderville Cotton farm, Branch of the Washington Ward under the hands of Pres. J.D.T. McAllister & his councillors, T. Jones & Henry Eyring. This place was a little above Washington City, Washington County, Utah, called the Orderville Order, but a long distance from town of Orderville, Kane, Utah.

At the Orderville Cotton Farm Dec 18, l878, he writes his mother (Phebe Draper Palmer Brown), who lived at Draper, Salt Lake County, Utah. He tells where he labored for what was part of the Orderville Order, but located a little above Washington City, Washington County, Utah. He worked hard, planted cotton, ordered and set up the cotton mill, and they did make cloth. He speaks of irrigating, picking cotton & even picked it in the house when weather bad. Also

Page 6 of 16

speaks of planting peach trees & peach pits, and other plants & much work for the order. He did a very fine work there. Caroline & family were at Orderville, Kane County, and where she died December 1877.

Dec 18, 1878 letter in his own handwriting, to his Mother (Phebe Palmer) 2nd letter to her dated l/30/l879, both from cotton farm. Then to his sister Lovina, (after his mother had died in Dec 1879), this Letter from Enterprize, June l880; on 6/l3/l880, now at Orderville, Kane, very interesting letters.

Zemira died 22 Oct 1880 & buried 23rd (although it reads as died on 23rd), this would be the buriel date, at Orderville, Kane, Utah. Caroline in grave #26 & a fine headstone by her great & gd children was made & set in July 200l & picture sent to Lois & given back to Lucile. Block l, Lot l, Sally is in grave #25, Caroline grave 26, & Zemira Palmer grave 27.

Elmer F. Cox, a great grandson, writes: "Zemira was neat and particular about his appearance. He was honest and very strict. When he spoke to his children, they knew he meant business and they responded accordingly, He was religious and held many responsible positions in the Church. He was intelligent & a real asset in helping to colonize several communities, such as Provo, Heber City, Dry Valley, Lincoln, Nevada, Panguitch & Springdale, Orderville.

Spoke of Wm D.Kartchner, whose dau, Alzada md son Alma Z. 1/l872 (we have copy of his Diary). He also hauled wood & sold it for $5.25 per cord to help with expenses. Other avocations were shoeing oxen & horses, mending harnesses, repairing wagons, mending shoes, fixing & working on roads, & many other things. While in Dry Valley, Nevada he was active in law & court proceedings. He was a member of a jury in Pioche [Penoche] and he had to travel there for court sessions.

In 4/1874 Pres. Brigham Young requested him to move to Springdale & organize the United Order there. In June of 1877 he was appointed to go to Leeds & appraise the property of 3 men who had joined order at Orderville. It was here he heard of the death of his wife Caroline. They decided to make a permanent headquarters of the United Order there in LEEDS?, so he moved his wife & 3 youngest children there. Here he worked on getting cotton production going & was later set apart as presiding elder of the Cotton Farm. His responsibilities at the farm were many and he was adept at almost anything he tried".

7/1877, Appointed by Pres, J.D.T. McAllister to take charge of Leeds Ward while Bishop Hogan goes north to Cache Co.

Went to Harrisbury in the afternoon, it being a part of the Ward, held meeting, was sustained by the people of both towns by unanimous vote, was released by 11/1877 when Bishop Hogan returned. Zemira's Diary speaks of being ill.

At the Orderville Cotton Farm Dec 18, 1878, he writes his mother (Phebe Draper Palmer Brown who lived at Draper) a letter. (copies of letters by him and extraction of his DIARY he kept may go into the Historical Dept or FHLibrary, after Lucile Brubaker typed and hands in, Ula has typed an Excerpt (& names added in some places as known by she & Lois).

"In l878 he had several periods of illness. He reports that the 3rd time he became ill in September with a strange, severe pain in his stomach. He nearly died during this illness which lasted until November. From then on until his death on 22 Oct. l800, he was occasionally unwell. He was a good man who left a rich heritage for those of us who follow. He was honest, hard working, inventive and was very instrumental in the development of the southern Utah area". (collected & arranged by Lenna Cox Wilcock on 2/24/l955. 6/2000 Lenna & her dau. Lucile Wilcock Brubaker sent to LPAllen a 37 page of Zemira's own Diary, the original obtained & typed up by Lenna about l954, from Ines

Hoyt.Articles in 1996 Church News, Sesquicentennial Year, are great. Kevin E. Palmer & others represented Zemira in the Battalion Commemoration at historic military post at Fort Leavenworth, KS; the Battalion mustering re-enactment Church News 7/20/1996 & Dec 14, 1996, Omaha, Nebraska, Mormon Trail Center Exhibit at Historic Winter Quarters in Omaha. Brigham Young tells the men of Zion's Camp of the need to join & serve their nation, which had just driven them from their beautiful homes the 3rd time.

A fine play was written & produced by Kevin & his mother Wanda Palmer about the members of the Battalion & the four women who went the entire March. It was shown Oct 9 (Phebe's 200th birthday) l0th & llth, l998, with Brigham Young, the officer, the mustering in of the men, the boys, Zemira age 14 with other young orderlies, even the drummer boy. The story of Preston Palmer who with his grandparents, A.Z. & Alzada Kartchner Palmer of Arizona, visit at Orderville, Kane, Utah, with Sally Knight Palmer, Zemira's wife, who tells Preston of Zemira's life, and death. It was excellently done & should be a Church wide production of that part of CHURCH History made by the Mormon Battalion.

She writes "I would like to see you & talk with you. It has been a long time since we seen any of you folks. Emily, Munro's sister lives close by me, she would like to know where William lives. She cant find them to write to them. I enjoy myself the best kind since in living in the order here we have plenty of work to do, but I do not have the care of providing food and clothes for the children and every little thing we need. It is true we have to do without some things we would like to have, but we have the most substantial things and when we have enough and good people to live with & to guide us. I feel that they are doing the best they know how and are praying & trying to be guided by the good spirit from day to day. I feel that we ought to be satisfied that is if we are living so that we are satisfied with ourselves then what more do we want. I have good health the most of the time, but not very stout to do hard work. My work is in the straw business. I feel thankful every day that my children are here where they can be taught the principles of the Gospel and Mormonism. Write often and tell us how your folks get along, Goodby for this time, Sally Palmer. No date, but would be after Zemira had died on 22 Oct. 1880.

The St George Temple records show that Alma Zemira accompanies his parentsto that temple on 25 Oct l877, when he, his deceased twin sisters Mary and Martha were sealed to their parents, this being a law of the Church, Copied from a his father, Zemira's Diary pages, for that day. (Sarah gave her source of the Diary as in possession of Mrs. Inez Hoyt, copied March 1957. 6/2000 a copy of Zemira's Diary sent to LPA from Lucile Wilcock Brubaker & Lenna Cox Wilcock, who typed a copy about l953, from the original.

St.George temple records also gives the fact that Alma Z. visits the St. George Temple on 21st and 22nd of June l88l, and does the baptism and endowment for his grandfather, George Palmer,(Jr) who had died in Dec 1833 at Loughborough Twp.,Frontenac County,Ontario, Canada, and was not baptised along with his wife Phebe Draper Palmer, who was baptized on l7 February l833, at Loughborough, Frontenac County, Midland District, Ontario, Canada. We dont know why Zemira had not done his father, George's, temple work, but feel he may have known his mother did his baptism on 8 Apr 1844. (St George Temple, pp 548,549, gave George Palmer born 13 July l795, Canada, F#l70,852, Endowment next day 22 June 1881, gave b.l3 July l795, Film #l70,543, p.604/5.

His father, Zemira, tells in his Diary of hauling material for the St.George temple building. This was the first temple built in Utah, dedication had been completed April 6, l877, and temple blessings were beginning to be better understood. Zemira was a very busy man with much responsibility weighing heavy, two large families and he was ill too often. One item gave he had suffered from injuries sustained by a horse dragging him while he was in California with his Battalion group 1847-l848. he died October 22, l880.

James William Palmer

Jack Duane Palmers' book (abt 1992) on James William Palmer son of Zemira & Sally, thru his son William Zemira Palmer, but this son of Zemira into another family. Jack did a good job gathering & listing some of the descendants he could get together on his branch of Zemira Palmer line thru Zemira & Sally's son James Wm. Title of book, Jack's grandfather, but he traced the ancestry of George Palmer Jr. through Asahel Palmer & Mary Ann Holden, sad but disproved by the Book PALMER FAMILIES IN AMERICA, BY LT. WM PALMER IN BK 929.273 P182ph, where pg Page 13 of 16 1494-1496 in Film #0176580 gave their family, but which no George was shown as a child, for our George was born, lived, married & died in Upper Canada.

Zemira is the son of George Jr & Phebe Draper Palmer line, which he could have found in the Bk THE DESCENDANTS OF GEORGE PALMER JR & PHEBE DRAPER, 1963, by Sarah P. Collinwood, 929.273 P182c. Research in Newcastle district, Upper Canada (Ontario 2002) & CD disc #18 Pin #902931, Wesley Palmer (AFN 21MT-RH), by 8/2000; 200l FHL Film item l, No. 1,321,355, 2002 on LDS Church Internet, the Palmers in Canada from 1792 to death of GEORGE & HANNAH PALMER Sr, their 8 or 9 sons & 3 or 4 daughters. It would have been better had he followed up on the other Pedigree Chart he had in 1990, it needed research. A quote from a page collected by one of Zemira's descendants: Quote: James (Wm, Sally & Zemira's 2nd son) up the canyon to take care of the cows in the Order Dairy. James, Eva Black & I did all the milking. Mother & Myrtle, James'other wife skimmed the milk and made the butter. Then at 4 p.m. we loaded our milk and butter into a wagon and Joseph Allen took it to Orderville in time for supper. (where did they live? probably on the farm near Orderville & after Zemira's death) Is this part of one of another letter written by Zemira or Sally?

#1 letter: Beverly Thompson has sent a Letter written by Zemira to his mother (Phebe Palmer Brown) that she dated Dec 18, 1875 (but it would have to be dated 18 Dec l878) the letter tells of the death of his wife, CAROLINE, who did die on Dec. l6, 1877, & he tells of it & wrote: Suppose you have heard that Caroline is dead, she died one year ago day-before yesterday at Orderville. She gave birth to a little girl 3 days before & it died the same day, A telegram was sent to me but I did not get there in time to see her alive. I have been very sick & have not yet fully recovered.

Letter #2, l/30/l879 to his mother, Quote: "Your letter of 3rd inst.did not come to hadn till 25th, I was very glad to hear from you &Lovina,but sorry to learn you were still suffering severely, I hope it will not last long. Glad to hear from Wm & Rhoda. I should be very glad to pay you a visit & have a good talk before you leave us". Letter from Orderfille Cotton farm, a little above St. George, Washington County, Utah, as they had given it only as Orderville Order cotton farm, where & when Zemira writes in his Journal: Quote:"2 Feb 1878- Attended Priesthood meeting at St.George, was set apart as Presiding PRIEST at the Orderville Cotton farm. Branch of the Washington Ward, under the hand of Pres. J.D.T. McCAllister & his councillor T. J. Jones & Henry Eyring. Afternoon returned home (Leeds, Enterprise or whatever they named it besides an Orderville United Order experience-which they show in their l00th Anniversay gave it lasted l875-l885, Zemira d.Oct 20, 10, 1880, but wrote a letter, 3rd one found) from ENTERPRISE, WASHINGTON, UTAH TERRITORY. June 1, 1879 to his Sister Lovina (mother, Phebe, had died 28 Feb,1879), when he speaks of what mother willed me (could it be the watch that we see on his coat with a fine chain?).

#4 letter dated l3 June 1880 Orderville, Kane County,Utah, to Sister Lovina "But my joy was mingled with sadness to hear of the death of Rhoda (and George, although cut off in youht, is it not better than to be left to wander off from the church & follow in the path of sin". "you speak of trials, there are none of us without them, it is the object of our mission to this earth to learn by the apposite to realize the good, joy by sorrow, pleasure by pain, riches by poverty, contentment by disconet and the blessings of the spirit of god by being left to ourselves at times and in a measure subjected to the powers of evil. I have been sourly tried, I have had an ordeal in the United Order calculated to sift one to the bottom, which remainds me of a saying Joseph Smith, in Nauvoo, putting his had on the shoulder of a brother by the name Tubb, he said the day will come when every tubb will have to stand on his own bottom".

#5 Letter, 19 Sep 1880, to Sister Lovina: LYDIA's (their sister) return to Sanpete. What a strange life she is leading (her husb. Anthony Bruno had died & she moved to Utah, but ended up in Idaho area, TOMBSTONE Boise area) I have a mind to write to her & see if she ever things of mormonism. Who will her husband be in the next world or will she have any at all? How long has it been since you heard from ASAHEL AND WHERE WAS HE THEN? (he died betw.6/1880 & 4/1885, Carroll or Calhoun County,Iowa)
