possible for him to spend some time there, which gave him the opportunity to get better acquainted with Edward's daughter, Sarah Ann. When Henry passed through Nephi on the way back from conference, he picked up Sarah Ann and she accompanied him to Cedar City. They were married in the St. George Temple January 16, 1878. Al1 this was done with the consent of Sarah Ann's parents. n Sarah Ann was bom i Manti, Utah, on August 1, 1858, the seventh of eight children. Sarah's father and mother joined the Church in 185 1 and ernigrated to Amenca in 1856, stopping for a short time in New York and then Cincinnati before traveling on to St. Louis. While there, a son they named Moroni, was bom to them. He died the same day. Theu next stop was Florence, Nebraska, where they loaded two handcarts with their m q e r belongings. Edward and their elevenyear-old son pulled one handcart, and Haniet and her seven-year-old daughter puiied the other. The farnily emigrated to Utah with a group of English converts to the L.D.S. Church. They crossed the plains in the Israel Evans Company, aniving in Salt Lake City, September 1857. The approach of ~ohn+n's army caused the evacuation of Haniet and the children to Manti and Edward joined them later. Theu last move was to Nephi where they made their living farming and ranching. Sarah Ann spent a good deal of her time cooking for the workers on their ranches. Although she had little schooling, she leamed many of the fine arts of sewing and knitting. Her mother had a stocking-knitting machine which would mechanically knit the legs and feet, but the toes and heels had to be rnade by hand. Sarah Ann became very adept at making stockings on this machine. She learned to read and write practically on her own and was able to write many letters and keep her own accounts. When Sarah Ann married Henry Lunt, Henry had a farm which helped to supply the family and hotel patrons with fruits, vegetables and wheat for flour.
