  Lavina Rosealine Palmer was born 24 September 1866 in Brigham City, Box Elder, Utah Territory to John and Susannah Adeline Southworth Palmer.             Her mother, Susannah Adeline Southworth, was born 16 January 1833 in Bastard,Leeds, Ontario, Canada to Chester and Mary Byington Southworth.  She was baptized 1 January 1841 at the age of seven.  Her parents had joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on 22/26 February 1836.  They followed the Saints to Kirtland, then Missouri, Nauvoo, and finally to Utah.             They were residing in Pottawattamie, Iowa in 1851. They traveled with the John B.Walker Company leaving the 26-30 June 1852. Three of their children had already died, Albert Luther in 1837 (one year old); Mary Emily in 1846 (five years old); and Tamesin Emerine in 1845(one year old).  They traveled with five children, Susannah and her husband and family; Sarah Zurviah, Chester H. III,Joseph Stephen, and the baby Laura Salina just born on 18 June 1852.             They were outfitting at Kanesville (Council Bluffs) Iowa.  There were about 291 individuals in the company.  They had crossed the Missouri River by 30th June.  Apostle Ezra T. Benson met with them prior to their trek west and told them, “It was their duty to laugh and dance and make merry as much as they could to be able to make it to the valley.”              Her mother, Susannah, had married John Henry Palmer 9 October 1851 at the age of 18 in Oregon, Holt, Missouri.  He was born 12 March 1819 in North Collingham, Nottinghamshire, England to John and Rebecca Pattinson Palmer.   It took them a couple of days to ferry across the Elkhorn River.   By 13 July cholera had broken out in the camp and they would have 10-15 deaths before they reached the Salt Lake valley.             Whenever they camped by a stream they would wash their clothes and dry them on the prairie grass.  In areas the water was so bad they had to rely on the cows for milk to drink.  To save on flour they would grind parched corn and add milk to it for a meal.  They cooked by digging a hole and putting the cast iron skillet in the hole, putting the lid on tightly, and covering with buffalo chips and setting it afire.  They were able to bake bread just fine.             On 18 July they had reached the Loupe Fork and did not have cholera much after that.  They made it to Ash Hollow on 1st August and to Chimney Rock by 7th August.  They were at Fort Laramie on 14 August 1852.  When they went to camp on 31st August they could not stay because the water was so bad so they had to travel another four miles to camp for the night. The 1st September would bring them to the Saleratus Lakes where they would it to use as a leavening agent in their cooking.  They were at Devil’s Gate on 2nd September.  The 5th September they have a very heavy rain which wet everything they owned.  They ate buffalo, antelope, and fish wherever they could find the meat.              They reached the Sweetwater on 6th September.  Her younger sister Sarah Zurviah married Daniel Mark Burbank on 10 September 1852 on the plains near South Pass.  From there they crossed over Rocky Ridge, the Little Sandy; then on to the Big Sandy and to the Green River by 17th September.  It was very cold and rainy.  They made it to the Black Fork on 22 September 1852 where Sarah Adaline Palmer was born to Susannah and John Henry Palmer.  It must have beena very hard trip for her being pregnant and very uncomfortable.  From there they rested a few days at Fort Bridger.  On the 23 September they had snow.  They crossed the Weber River 26th September and camped in Echo Canyon 27th September.  They were at Big Mountain on 30th September and had more snow.  They arrived in the Salt Lake valley 2 October 1852.              They had 12 children, four girls and eight boys. They would first settle in Grantsville, Tooele, Utah Territory where their second son John Edric was born 22 August 1854; Mary Caroline was born 16 October 1856 in Brigham city, Box Elder, Utah Territory; Susannah Content was born 10 October 1858 in Grantsville, Tooele, Utah Territory.             Brigham City became their home and the rest of the children were born there.  Chester Hugh was born 26 September 1860 and died the same day; Franklin Richard was born 1 March 1862; Joseph Morris was born 6 October 1864; John L. was born in 1865; Lavina Rosealine was born 24 September 1866; James Herbert was born 11 September 1868; Frederick Henry was born 25 November 1871; and Nephi was born and died 5 February 1873.             Her mother Susannah was endowed 9 May 1870 in the Endowment House in Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah Territory at the age of 37.  She died 5 February 1873 giving birth to Nephi and was buried 8 February 1873 in the Brigham City cemetery, Box Elder,Utah Territory at the age of 40.  Her father John Henry died 7 January 1886 at the age of 66 and was buried 10 January 1886 in the Brigham City Cemetery, Box Elder, Utah Territory.             Lavina married Hyrum Robert Peirce in 1879 at the age of 13 in Grantsville, Tooele,Utah Territory.  Hyrum Robert was born 9 April 1857 in Brigham City, Box Elder, Utah Territory to William and Jerusha Smith Peirce.    He was 22 when he married Lavina.  Jerusha’s father was Hyrum Smith, brother of the Prophet Joseph Smith.  There were no children born to this marriage.  Hyrum Robert died on 17 April 1917 in Brigham City, Box Elder, Utah at the age of 60 was buried in Brigham City.  Lavina died 1 December 1948 at the age of 82.  We do not know where she was buried.
