Individual Details

!Wealtha was the first in the family to join the Church, she was baptized during the winter of 1832 in a hole in the ice. Ira wanted her to wait to be baptized becouse she was pregnent. After the baby was born, Wealtha was baptized. Wealtha died and was burried on the Eaton Farm near Nauvoo, Illinois. She was also Baptised in Nauvoo but we don't have a date other than 1832. So she was re-baptised by Proxy the 18th of September, 1967 in the Salt Lake Temple. Life in Farmersville was not all work. Wealtha and Ira were often drawn to social events such as annual election day, town meetings, quilting bees, and temperance meetings. Traveling was sometimes tedious but everyone looked forward to being togeather on these occasions. Wealtha and Ira also looked forward to the visits of traveling peddlers who came seasonally. These men brought eagerly awaited news of family members left behind in other parts of the territory. When in 1830 Elders Oliver Cowdery, Peter Whitmer, Jr., Ziba Peterson, and Parley P. Pratt were in the vacinity visiting the Catteraugus Indians, preaching with a book which represented a history of their progenitors, the Indian race. Wealtha purchased a copy of the book and was not long in reading it. She said, "That's what we have been looking for." Being thoroughly convinced of its origin, she desired to be baptized immedeatily. But was convinced to wait untill Rhoana was born.
