At Payson City, Utah County, March 11, SOPHIA W., wife of Enoch P. Rollins.
Born December 12, 1805, in the town of Hamden, Hancock Co., Maine. Baptized and confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, February 8, 1840. Emigrated with her husband and family to Nauvoo, Hancock Co., Ill., in 1844. Was driven by mob violence from there to the opposite side of the Mississippi River into Lee Co., Iowa, where she suffered much from exposure to the inclemency of the weather, owing to camping in a tent until snow fell, having a great deal of sickness in her family, and suffering many privations until she emigrated to Council Bluffs, Pottawattamie Co., Iowa, in the fall of 1848. From there she came to these valleys in the fall of 1852, where she has lived a faithful Latter-day Saint, and much beloved by all who knew her.
