The Saints niet together often and had socials, as well as their church meetings. O n one such occasion in St. Louis, some strange men were noticed standing by a stove on which some coffee was boiling. In time, all who drank the coffee contracted smallpox.' Soon smallpox broke out in Kanesville and the Evans M. Greene family became afflicted with this disease. Sage had smallpox before she left Wales and was immune to the diseare, so she cared for the Greene family and nursed them back to health. They were kind to her and she and the family became very attached so, when they were able to travel, she went with them. They crossed the plains in the Allen Weeks Company and arrived in Salt Lake City Oct. 12, 1852. \Vhile they were living in Kanesville, Sage met Thomas Jones and they became very interestcd in each other and agreed to be married when they arrived in Utah. Thomas left Kanesville a little over a year before Sage did. Thomas Jones recorded the following poem in his copy book in the early 1850's. It was written by Wm. Clayton, the author of many Mormon hymns, including "(:onie Come Ye Saints."

An in their graves are sleeping 'ti1 the Resurrection Day. How many on hiissouri's plains were left in death's embrace Pure honest hearts, too good to live in such a wicked place, And are they left in sorrow and doubt to pine away Ah, no, in peace they're sleeping 'ti1 the Resurrection Day. -4nd in Nauvoo, the city where the temple cheered the brave Hundreds of faithful saints have found a cold yet peaceful grave And, there they now are sleeping beneath the silent clay but soon they'll share the ~lories a Resurrection Day. of Our Patriarch and Prophet too were massacred -they bled to seal their testimony, they were numhered with the dead. Ah, tell me are they sleeping, me thinks I hear them say "Death's icy chains are bursting, Tis the Resurrection Day." And here in this sweet peaceful vale, the shafts of death are hurled And many faithful saints are called to find a hetter world
