Research

While searching for information and to know what resources were available to me on the life of Mary Field Garner I found that in the special collections in BYU there is a copy of her autobiography.  It is rich in memories and experiences that I can't wait to read and share. I have also found newspaper articles and books that have given me a lot more knowledge of her and her stories.

-This link is to an article that was written recently following her passing. She was 107 when she died and (interesting fact) before she died she was the last person to have personally known the prophet Joseph Smith.

  1. I can attest that the L. Tom Perry Special Collections is a treasure trove of personal diaries and information regarding Mormon pioneers. Neat stuff!
