Ada Winchell Clements

Ada Winchell Clements was born December 24, 1801 at Hebson, Washington County New York.  On January 21, 1821 she married Albert Nephi Clements and the young couple made their home in Fort Anne, New York until 1832.  While Albert was on a business trip he met Sidney Rigdon, a Mormon missionary.  The members of the Clement family were all baptized and very soon moved to Ohio to be near the Saints.  Seven children were born to them; two died in infancy, but their greatest sorrow came when their son Paul, then a young man, was killed during the persecutions of the Saints in Missouri.  Soon after the family moved to Nauvoo, Illinois, and there another son was born whom they named Albert Nephi.
	When Joseph and Hyrum Smith were martyred, Albert was away from home, working for the Church interests and also the support of his family.  When he heard the terrible news he immediately started for home.  On the way his horse took sick and he stopped at a store to obtain medicine,  He  met his friend Sidney Rigdon.  Sidney told Albert he was hurrying back to Nauvoo to be with the Saints during this time of sorrow, and to take his place as their leader.  Albert was happy to learn of Mr. Rigdon's decision.  On August 15, 1844 Albert arrived home, and Ada immediately told him all that had happened, including the meeting she had attended wherein the Saints had chosen Brigham Young as their leader.  He seemed shocked at the news and appeared deeply concerned.  This difference of opinion soon led to a rift in the once happy marriage, as Ada was convinced that Brigham Young was the right man to assume the leadership of the Saints, while Albert favored Mr. Rigdon.
	When the Saints began preparations for the westward journey, Albert asked his wife if she were going to leave him as he refused to follow Brigham Young.  Ada was sure in her heart that she must go with the Saints and share their fate even unto death.  Ada begged her husband to come with her saying "she would never cease to love him, and would always pray for him to see the truth and follow them to the Rocky Mountains."  Ada and the children were in the exodus to Winter Quarters.  Albert helped all he could to provide food and other necessities to make his family comfortable, and then bade them goodbye in great sorrow.
	It was some time before Ada could leave for Zion.  Albert Nephi, the youngest son, nine years of age drove the ox team most of the way across the plains.  The family came in Captain James C. Snow's company arriving in Salt Lake October 9, 1852.  Ada never forgot her husband and prayed always for him, with the hope that he would, in time, join them.  Some years later he sent a letter by an Elder asking his wife for a divorce which she granted.  He then remarried.  His son Nephi visited him twice while on trips back for immigrants, and the last time, in 1866, he left a purse, saying, "Father, here is a purse, I wish to give to you as a token, and pray it will ever be filled."

	In the meantime, Ada had married James Steers.  After his death she married a Mr. Wilbur who also passed away.  Then Nephi received a letter from his father, saying if he could send the money, he would come to the valley as he had lost his wife and was very lonely. Nephi sold a yoke of oxen for $100.00, borrowed a like sum, and sent for his father. Nephi, and his wife, had Ada come to their home for a visit.  Neither the mother or father knew of the meeting planned for them at their son's home.  A complete and sincere reconciliation followed; and the Clements family, and his many friends, rejoiced in receiving him back into the fold.  Soon after Nephi accompanied his father and mother to the Endowment House in Salt Lake City.
	Ada W. Clements passed away at the age of ninety years in Oxford, Idaho.

      Elizabeth was the seventh child of Albert and Ada Winchell Clement's nine children.  Several years after her birth, they became converted to the LDS Church by Sidney Rigdon.  The family moved to Kirtland, Ohio.  Later they moved to Nauvoo, Illinois.  They became neighbors to the Prophet Joseph Smith and family.  Her mother washed and ironed for Joseph and Emma's family.  Elizabeth and her brother, James, would deliver the laundry in a wagon together with popcorn and apples.  Elizabeth was impressed with his kind consideration and friendliness with children.  When Elizabeth was a little past sixteen years of age, she crossed the plains in the Warren Snow Wagon Company.  She walked most of the way and arrived in Salt Lake City in September of 1852.
      Even though Elizabeth had met a young man she admired, her mother insisted that she marry Levi Newell Kendall.  He had married her sister, Eliza, four years before.  They were married in Salt Lake City.  She had two children before they were expected to evacuate to southern parts of Utah because the Johnston Army was approaching their territory.  She learned how to become a mid-wife and delivered hundreds of babies.  She gave birth to twelve children and raised ten of them to adulthood. She had unusual energy, foresight, and industry with kind consideration for those in need.  She became a good nurse and helped others in all kinds of sickness.  She and Levi went to Idaho Falls where she did the cooking for one of the camps for the Oregon Short Line Railroad.  She also managed to buy and sell chickens, turkeys, ducks and geese.  She raised them and then sold them to the market.  She also had a business where she wove rag rugs and carpets on her loom.
      Her marriage was not a happy one.  They were not compatible and she was given a divorce in 1890.  She had a little business with King Dish Company selling unusual and pretty dishes.  She loved to piece many quilts.  She was highly honored, respected, and loved by all who knew her.

Ada Clements was born 29 Jan 1839 at Far West, Caldwell, Missouri, to Albert Clements and Ada Winchell.
      Ada was 5 years of age when the Prophet and his brother were killed.  Her mother had been to the meeting when the mantle of the Prophet fell upon Brigham Young.  Her father had been out of town at the time, and when he returned he decided to follow Sidney Rigdon, the man who had converted him.  This caused her parents to separate and eventually divorce.
      Three of the girls, namely, Lucy 22, Eliza 13, Elizabeth 11, and Ada 8, left Winter Quarters with the Jedediah Grant Company and arrived in the Salt Lake Valley 2 Oct 1847.
      While living in Grantsville, Utah, Ada met Richard Lowe and they were married 1 May 1855.  They lived in Brigham City for awhile then moved to Springville, Utah.  Richard built a one-room log house and they were very happy.  Ada was quite an herb doctor.  She always had all kinds of herbs gathered and dried ready for use.  Many times she would treat neighbors and sick children with her medicines.
      Ada was also a true Latter-day Saint.  She believed strongly in the payment of tithes.  She told the Church leaders that she would be willing to let the Lord have her 10th child if He wanted it.  So when her 10th child was born, she gave her own life and also the baby's.  She died 15 Oct 1877 in Springville.  Her husband Richard, died 26 Dec 1899, also in Springville, Utah.
