Sarah Jane Ingram or Jane, as she was called, was born in Worcestershire, England on the 9th of June, 1836. They came to St. Louis but were not there but a short time when the Black Measles broke out and both (parents) died within a week, leaving three small children, Richard 8 yrs old, Jane 6 yrs. and Frances Ann 2 yrs., as orphans.
Her uncle used to do a lot of trading horses and cattle, one night he came and told Richard and Jane to put the horses in the stable. They heard a strange noise and ran to the house. The horses ran away in the woods. The uncle was angry, and was going to whip them but their aunt would not let him so he went to see what it was and found a large wild hog in the stable, it came after him so he did not say anything to them. After that they soon moved from there.
They were acquainted with the Prophet Joseph Smith and saw him and his brother, Hyrum, after they were martyred.
