The funeral service over the remains of the late Mary H. Blazzard, relict of the late John H. Blazzard of the Fourteenth Ward, was conducted in the ward assembly rooms at 4:00 yesterday (Sunday) afternoon. The speakers on the occasion were Elder Wm. Bramall, Bishop George H. Taylor and President Angus M. Cannon. Deceased was an old member of the Church, having been baptized at Fillongley, Warwickshire, England, by Elder Wm. Bramall on March 10, 1846. She will be remembered by many of the Elders who have labored in Great Britain for her hospitality. She emigrated from Coventry in 1866 and located in the Fourteenth Ward, where she resided until her death. She was a faithful woman and was specially noted for acts of charity, which were never performed with display, but rather in unison with the spiritual injunction in that regard.  It is requested that the Millennial Star note the fact of Sister Blazzard's demise.

«/b»Mary Ison Worthington Bleazard - Mary Ison was born 3 May 1822 at Maxstoke, Warwickshire, England, to George Ison and Hannah Shaw and christened 22 May 1822 at Church End, Maxstoke.  She and Henry were married 13 January 1843 at Copston Magna.  Seven children were born to them:  Thomas Worthington, 3 Mar 1844, Copston Magna; Hyrum John Worthington, 17 Dec 1846, Fillongley; Orson Henry Worthington, 10 April 1849, Corley; Sarah Jane, 27 Sept 1851, Corley; Charles Worthington, 28 Jan 1854, Foleshill; Mary Worthington, 8 Feb 1860, Foleshill.  Charles, Mary and Charles Ison died as infants.

The records show that Mary Ison Worthington was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints 10 Mar 1846 when she was 24 years old, and three years after he marriage.  The children, Thomas, Hyrum John, and Orson Henry, were baptized in May of 1857 when they were 13, 11, and 8 years respectively.  At that time Sarah Jane was only 6 and Charles and Mary had died.  Charles Ison was not born.  According to the Journal History of the Church on the 1st of October 1866, the mother, Mary Ison Worthington, and her children, John, Henry, and Jane arrived in Salt Lake City with the Rawlings train of 65 wagons and over 400 passengers.

On 16 November 1867, Mary Ison was sealed in the Endowment House to John Hopwood Blazzard by Wilford Woodruff.  The records show that John Hopwood Blazzard was also sealed to Sarah Sercy 17 January 1855 and Lydia Davis 7 February 1863.  Sarah Sercy was born 15 Mar 1815 in Rutherford, North Carolina.  To them a son, John Blazzard, was born in Nebraska in 1848 and another son in 1858 in Utah.  About 1859 John Hopwood Blazzard took as his plural wife Lydia Davis, born in Stoke Abbott, Dorset, England 23 June 1827 and they were sealed in the Endowment House 7 February 1863.  The following children were born to them:
Joseph Davis Blazzard - 17 April 1860
Mark Davis Hopwood Blazzard - 24 Mar 1861
Lucy Davis Blazzard - 30 Mar 1863
Caleb Davis Blazzard - 30 March 1865
Orson Blazzard - 1867

On the 1870 census John Blazzard (70) wagon maker, born in England, is listed in the 14th Ward, Salt Lake City, Utah, with real estate valued at $10,000.00 and personal property at $500.00 with his wife, Mary Blazzard.  Lydia Blazzard (45) born in England is listed in the 7th Ward with her children Lucy (7), Kaleb (5), and Orson (3) all born in Utah.

The 1880 census shows Sarah Blazzard in Washington, Washington County, Utah with her two sons, John, 32, born in Nebraska, and Thomas, 22, born in Utah.  These facts clarifies the relationship of Mary Ison and John Hopwood Blazzard.  John Hopwood Blazzard died 14 January 1871 in Salt Lake City, Utah.

The following excerpts are taken from an article in the Deseret News Weekly, Pioneer Publication, Rocky Mountain Region, Saturday, December 1890;
Decision in the Blazzard Will Case
       In the Third district Court December 2nd, Judge Zane delivered his opinion in the well known Blazzard Will case, which has occupied the Court's almost constant attention for the past month.
       John Blazzard, et al., plaintiffs vs. Lucy D. Watts, et al., defendents, in this case the plaintiffs ask that the court decree that the title to the real estate described in the complaint is in the plaintiffs, and that it order the defendents, or the person having the legal title, to execute deeds to the plaintiffs.  They all embrace two tracts of land one in the Fourteenth Ward and the other in the Seventh Ward, in this city.
       It appears from the evidence that the late John H. Blazzard died on the 14th day of January 1871, and that he left surviving him Sarah Blazzard (whom I find under the evidence was his lawful wife), and his children, the plaintiffs by her; that he also left a plural wife by the name of Lydia Blazzard and his children by her, who are the defendants, and another plural wife by the name of Mary Ison Blazzard.  He was at the time of his death and for some years before, in possession of the two pieces of land mentioned and described in the complaint, on which he had made improvements.  On the Seventh Ward tract Lydia was living at the time of his death with her children, the defendants named.  He had lived with her for a number of years, and until within a few years before his death, after which he resided with Mary Ison Blazzard who was living on the tract situated in the Fourteenth Ward.  He also left a will, in which he expressly devised to Lydia Blazzard a life estate in the Seventh Ward property, for the benefit of herself and her children until they should reach their majority, and he devised to Mary Ison Blazzard a life estate in the Fourteeth Ward property with the right to live upon it and to rent such portions of it as she did not occupy, the proceeds to be appropriated to her own use, for her support and maintenance of Lydia Blazzard and her children, as their necessities might require.
       By the sixth clause the deceased disposed of the remainder in these words:
All my estate, real and personal, after the same shall cease to be occupied and used for the support and maintenance and education of my said children during their minority, as herein provided, I will and bequeath to my said children, who may then be alive, and to the heirs of those who may be dead and to their heirs and assigns, taking by right of representation share and share alike.

At this time Sarah and her two sons, John and Thomas, were living in Washington, Utah and they are the plaintiffs in this case.  The lawsuit referred to above was brought by Sarah Blazzard's children about a year and a half after Mary's death.
