3	"Elizabeth Cummins was a strong-willed Englishwoman from London. She was raised by a maiden aunt, who upon her death left Elizabeth one thousand pounds sterling. She set off to America with her inheritance, met and married John Jackson in Cecil County, Maryland. (The legend that she fled England after throwing a tankard of ale at a King's soldier in her aunt's tavern is a little more exciting, but has been fairly well proven to be fanciful.) She is described as being rather masculine in stature, quite intelligent, and as having a great deal of courage and strong character. She fought off Indian attacks and patented 3,000 acres of land in her own name and paid for them herself."	Cummins, Elizabeth (I5936)

5	1. BIOGRAPHY Elizabeth Davis Goldsmith Brackenbury Durfee Lott was a rolling stone. Between the men in her life, keeping her children safe, and the vision she had for the Kingdom of God, she experienced a life of trauma. Her days were lived in the beginning of the Latter Day Saint movement. Just being a pioneer woman that lived in one place in those days would be hard, yet for her, no home lasted more than a few years. She completely understood fear, loss, abandonment, and grief. In New York, on April 13, 1811, she married Gilbert Goldsmith. Together they had twin sons, Gilbert Davis and Issac. Elizabeth lost baby Issac and then her husband at sea that year. She single-parented until remarrying in 1818 to Joseph Blanchette Brackenbury, also of New York. They had sons as well, Charles Wesley, Thomas Carr, Joseph Blanchette, Benjamin Blanchard (died within a year), Benjamin Blanchard (name used again), and John Wesley. They were a couple of faith as shown by the naming of two sons after famous Christian ministers. It was this faith that led them to join Joseph Smith, Jr.'s religious movement. Upon baptism, Elizabeth's husband, Joseph Brackenbury, was ordained an elder and rather quickly left on a missionary trip. It is believed that he was poisoned by an anti-Mormon group while on a mission in 1832. Elizabeth became a widow again but now with six sons. Elizabeth married Jabez Durfee, in Clay, Missouri, March 3, 1834. For reasons left to a broader forum than this, the marriage didn't last. By proxy marriage, she became a spiritual wife of Joseph Smith, Jr., with Cornelius Lott as the stand-in for Smith. She ended up marrying Lott in Nauvoo, Illinois, January 21, 1846. Elizabeth fled Mormon persecution with her children; her son, John Wesley, wrote he remembered surviving the first winter in a poorly, thrown-together shelter in a field. On June 7, 1848, Elizabeth, her son John, and husband Cornelius Lott left with the Handcart Company of Heber C. Kimball to find safety in Utah. John remembers, "We went with [Brigham] as far as the Missouri River and then we saw so much of their manner of doing business, that we went back to Quincy." Lott went on to Salt Lake while Elizabeth and John returned to Illinois. While John accompanied two other handcart companies, both he and his mother eventually joined the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints who were regrouping under the leadership of Joseph Smith, III. It is documented that Elizabeth died at her son's house in White Cloud, Kansas. After much research, her burial spot is ASSUMED to be this cemetery; however, it has not been confirmed. It is also implied, due to the newspaper notices and church obituary, that she is buried under her Brackenbury married name. 2. OBITUARY "Died. At White Cloud, Kansas, December 16th, 1876, sister Elizabeth Brackenbury, aged 85 years, 9 months, and 5 days. She was born at River Head, Suffolk county, N.Y., on the 11th of March, 1791, and was baptized the 10th of April, 1831, by Elder John Carl. She went through all the Missouri persecution, and was one of the sisters that was with sister Emma Smith when the bodies of brethren Joseph and Hyrum Smith were brought home from Carthage. She was baptized into the Reorganized Church, December 3d, 1870, by Elder D. H. Bays. She was always ready to bear her testimony of the truth, and she was willing to depart this life, and be at rest." SOURCE: The Saints' Herald, Vol 24, Issue 2, pg 31. 15 Jan 1877. 3. (The following is the Brackenbury excerpt from a larger, 1938 article about the history of the LDS/RLDS church in Independence, MO.) MANY RETURN IN THE SIXTIES. [1860s] Because of the dedication of Independence by the [church] founder [Joseph Smith, Jr.], the members returned in great numbers in the sixties, and in the following three decades, the returning members included children and grandchildren of those who had left the "City of Zion" years before. The late Arthur J. Brackenbury of Independence recalled that his grandmother, Elizabeth Brackenbury, lived there at the time of the expulsion. "She lived on a 10-acre tract on the Blue, where Centropolic now is."' Mr. Brackenbury said. "It was in November when she was driven from her home, and she and a son (John) spent their first night with only a corn shock as shelter. With several other families, they went out the old river road north of Independence and crossed the river at the Wayne City landing. On the Clay County side, shelters were prepared by propping willows against a sycamore log, and the exiles remained there the rest of the winter. FATHER IN EXPULSION. Mr. Brackenbury's father, John W. Brackenbury, was 6 years old at the time of the expulsion. He later moved to California, where Mr. [Arthur J.] Brackenbury was born in 1861. "The idea always was to return to Independence," Mr. Brackenbury said. "We came back in 1876, by covered wagon from San Bernardino to Salt Lake City. We waited there a year for the Union Pacific railroad to be finished, and we chartered the first boxcar that ran from Ogden to Omaha. It cost father $1,000 to move his family and household goods." Brackenbury recalled that the rail trip was delayed two days at Cheyenne when the woodburning locomotive ran out of fuel. The trip was made by riverboat from Omaha to White Cloud, Kansas, and by covered wagon from White Cloud to Independence. SOURCE: newspapers.com; The Kansas City Star Kansas City, Missouri ?

26	A hero of both the Mexican and Civil Wars Axom D. Farmer is also one of the foremost farmers of the vicinity of Hebo, Tillamook Co., where he still has a lease of farm recently disposed of to his son which has been his home for many years, When he first came to the farm about 1876, Mr. Farmer had a sawmill in operation, but of late his land has been devoted principally to dairying, and in connection therewith he engaged in coopering, the trade of his youth, learned from an industrious and worthy father. Ninety-five acres have been retained of the original grant of one hundred sixty acres, and about fourteen cows supply milk to a number of steady customers. Mr. Farmer came to Oregon by rail and from Yamhill County came over the Old HArris Trail to Tillamook, shipping his household goods down the river. He located first on a farm, eight miles south of Tillamook, and five years later moved to his present farm. Hehas taken an active interest in Republican politics and he served as a road and school director. He is also identified with the Grand Army of the Republic. Mr. Farmer is 74 years old and therefore entitled to the partial leisure in which he is enjoying at the present time. He was born in Robertson County, Tennesee, October 17, 1829 and his father Benjamin was presumably a native of the same state, the latter was a cooper by trade, an occupation followed in Tennesesee until his move to Wayne Co., Il in 1838. As was the case with all tradesmen in the early days, one occupation did not suffice and the mechanic was of necessity, master in departments of activity, including carpentering, millwrighting and others equally useful. Benjamin Farmer lived only a year after the move to Wayne Co. and died a comparatively young man. His wife Kisira (Fly) Farmer, died in Williamson Co., IL, in 1901 having attained the age of 90 years. Her family comprised of two sons and one daughter, of whom Axom iss the oldest. As a youth of 9, Axom D.Farmer accompanied his parents to Wayne Co., IL and he there grew to manhood on a farm receiving limited education in the nearby school. In time he moved to Union Co.,IL where he married Betsy Daniels who bore him a daughter now Mrs. W. T. West, of this county. He afterwards married in Williamson Co., IL, Mrs. Eliza McGinnis, who was born in IL, and who died on the homeplace in Tillamook Co. in 1898. Of this second marriage there were born three sons, Frank, Lewis deceased and Otis on the home farm. At the time of the breaking out of the Mexican War, Mr. Farmer was making his home in Williamson Co., IL and was engaged in farming and coopering. The youth and men of the neighborhood welcomed the opportunity a chance to break the monotony of farming and the exodus to serve the cause was large and enthusiastic. Mr. Farmer went to war as a teamster serving throughout the contest in that capacity. For a time he was under command of General Taylor at Vera Cruz and during the service met with many adventures of which he still retains vivid recollections. Returning to Williamson Co. he continued farming and coopering until 1862 when the civil war presented another opportunity to show his mettle and patriotism. Strange to say Mr. Farmer served throughout the civil war also as a teamster and was also connected with the 17th army corps under Generals Sherman and Logan. He enlisted at Cairo, IL in Co. H, 31st IL Volunteer Infantry and served three years. Disposing of his Williamson Co. farm in the spring of 1871 Mr. Farmer came to Oregon as heretofore stated and has since made this state his homr. He has won a host of friends through the exercise of many fine traits of character and his uprightness and progressiveness place him among the sterling and highly respected citizens of a prosperous neighborhood.

27	A memorial service for Alvin Dale Ferry Jr., 68, of Coos Bay, will be held at 3 p.m., Saturday, July 21, at the Church of Christ, 2761 Broadway in North Bend, with pastor Norm Russell officiating. Alvin's celebration of life will follow at the Eagles Lodge, 568 S 2nd St. in Coos Bay. Alvin was born Jan. 24, 1950 in Ephrata, Wash., to Alvin and Ruth Ferry. He lost his battle with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis "ALS" June 15, 2018. Alvin spent his childhood and teenage years in Cashmere, Wash., where he graduated from high school in 1968. In high school, Alvin met the love of his life Marsha Brewer and they were married Feb. 7, 1969. In their almost 50 years of marriage, they had three beautiful daughters. Alvin, referred to by most as "Butch", loved spending time with his family. He never met a person he did not like and striking up conversations came easily usually involving a joke or two. Sports were a passion and a hobby to Alvin. He enjoyed playing football, volleyball and basketball and loved watching teams such as the Seattle Mariners, Seattle Seahawks, Oregon Ducks and Oregon State Beavers. He loved cruising the streets in his Mustang convertible blaring classic rock hits such as "Wild Thing" and "Gypsy." Alvin was loved by many. While he is physically no longer with us, his spirit will live in all of us forever. He is survived by his wife, Marsha; oldest daughter, Tracy Mahan, husband, Jason and children, Sophia and Abby; middle daughter, Jackie Souza, husband, Bryan and children, Deven and Dakoda; youngest daughter, Misty Howerton, husband, Dewey, and children, Keizer and Dawson; honorary son, Branden Enstrom; sisters, Terry Ricketts, husband, Roger and family, Carol Harlow, husband, Tom and family, and Cathy Jensen, husband, Dennis and family; brother, Jeff Ferry, wife, Eileen and family; mother-in-law, Margaret Harper; brothers-in-law, Mike Brooker, wife, Elizabeth and family and Bill Leslie, wife, Barbie and family; best friend and cousin, Robert Ferry and family; and co-brother-in-law, Brian Harlow, wife, Helen and family. He was preceded in death by his parents. In lieu of flowers, the family asks to please consider making contributable donations to The ALS Association Oregon and Southwest Washington Chapter, 700 NE Multnomah St., Suite 210 Portland, OR 97232 to further research to find a cure for ALS.

28	About 1820, Philip and family, accompanied by his parents, move to the southwest part of Kentucky, which proved unhealthy for the older Mrs. Hash, so older couple started back to Green County, but Mrs. Hash died on the way and then Mr. Hash proceeded alone. In less than a year, Philip and family started back, and while enroute they accidentally came to the pioneer's farm near where the mother was buried. Here they received the first news of her death. After hiring the pioneer to enclose the grave with a fence, Philip and family proceeded on to Green County. About 1820, Philip and family, accompanied by Robert, George W. and Eaton Nance (brothers of Sally), emigrated to Illinois and spent the first winter at Clary's Grove. Since the Kentucky pioneers came from a densely timbered country, they naturally shunned the prairie and settled in timberland. They wandered down the Sangamon Valley and the "bottom lands" where they were some of the first settlers (north of Springfield). They built a log house which is supposed to have been one of the first between Oakford and Beardstown, Illinois. They had as neighbors about fifty Pottawatomie Indians living on a hill nearby. They lived in this vicinity about 2 years, then moved to 160 acres of farm land at the head of Spoon River, seven miles from what is now Galesburg. They also had more Indian neighbors, the Sacs and the Fox tribes. They made friends with them too, even though the white families were far outnumbered. It was in this Sangamon Valley that Thomas Jefferson Nance, Sarah's brother, set up a little school. Zachariah Hash, Philip's oldest son, was a regular pupil for about 9 months.
