Child(ren):
· June 1838 In June 8, 1838 we had a daughter born to us. A blessing from the Lord, a spritely beautiful child. My wife was still not a member of the Church, but I had faith that she would someday join for the Holy Ghost had told me that she would embrace the gospel. This took place in April 1839. (Wife, Maria Wood, baptized)April 1839 It was a great satisfaction to me to have my precious, bosom companion, one with me in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for it came to pass that she did not dare to resist it to stay out any longer for she believed that Mormonism was true and she was afraid that God would smite her if she fought against it any longer. She was baptized in a beautiful clear pool of water that came up on my farm in April 1839, for which I thank my Lord and my God.December 1st, 1872. We are under the painful necessity of recording the demise of my very precious and beloved wife Maria Wood, the choice of my youth. She was born December 5th, 1806 and she died December 1st, 1872. She was living and died in Farmington. She was not seriously sick but for a very few days and when the time came, she passed away easily without a struggle or a groan. She died as she had lived, a good, consistent Latter-day Saint. She was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints April 1838. She was married to me on July 23rd, 1832 and she bore me five sons and two daughters. She loved her husband dearly and was greatly devoted to her family. After she resolved to leave the world, take up the cross and go with me in the service of her God and become a despised Latter-day Saint or Mormon, she became very zealous and devoted to the Church and to the cause of God on the earth. She received great faith from and in God and she was many times healed and also she received many promises and communications from the Lord through the medium of the Holy Ghost….and surely it was to her as wisdom.I could tell many things that would extol her virtues very highly. She surely was a very thorough going, neat, tidy, prudent, frugal and industrious housewife. She was a very honest, virtuous, devoted wife and a very kind mother to her children and a true and faithful friend to her God and to the Latter-day Saints. She was good to everybody. She has given birth to seven, I think very exceptional and good children and some presume to say that they do not make any better children. Well, I think that I can say, she was a God blessed woman and that she is way up high in my estimation and shall ever be so. If there can be any better women, I certainly will be very glad for them. I feel so very thankful that she is resting. She is not dead, but liveth. She is laboring faithfully with her sisters and with the good Saints up in the world of spirits. She shall receive a glorious resurrection and shall live forever. She shall wear a very bright crown and shall become very glorious and in very rich splendor, for I have certainly seen her in her glorified state.
