Notes:
Note: The recorded date of baptism is only a few days before the recorded date of the endowment (both while she was living). These are the dates in the IGI files.
BIRTH: LTR 41- Copy of Idaho death certifate which gives date of birth and names of parents.
ORDINANCES: LTR 119- Temple Index Card. Interestingly, there are two dates on this card. One date of 1869, which would probably indicate baptism as a child. (Her parents were earlier baptized.) Then there is a date of 21 July 1878- just before she went to the temple to be married. Even more interesting is that the Ordinance File shows that her siblings also have a baptism date which is just before endowment date. I have left the July 1878 date in my records as this is what the official church records show...............Bla 12/22/01
