OBITUARY.

     Died, of Congestive chills, at the residence of her son, in Fillmore
City, Millard County, July 31st, 1879, HARRIET, relict of Seymour Brunson, and
daughter of Wm. H. Gould and Hulda Gillmore.

     Born August 2n , 1802, in Hector, Seneca County, N.Y. She was baptized by
Hyrum Smith in 1831, and moved with her husband to Jackson County in 1836,
being among those who suffered persecution at the hands of Missourians. They
moved to Far West in 1835, and finally, with the rest of the Saints, left the
State of Missouri in the year 1839, and moved to Quincy, Ill.; finally
locating at Nauvoo, Hancock County, where her husband died in 1840. Seymour
Brunson held the office of colonel in the Nauvoo Legion, and was a member of
the High Council. He was buried with military honors.

     In the year 1841, Sister Brunson was married to John Rimer. She had five
shildren by her first husband and two by her second. They moved to Council
Bluffs in 1846, and arrived in Salt Lake City in the fall of 1851. Since
arriving in the valleys of the mountains, she lived at Provo and Payson until
Brother Rimer died, and has since resided with her son, Lewis Brunson, in
Fillmore. There are but few now living who have passed through the same or
similar trying scenes of persecution, privation and hardship, for the Gospel's
sake, as has Sister Brunson. She had the satisfaction of going to the Temple
at St. George, and performing the ordinances for herself and for some of her
dead friends, and has died in full faith of the Gospel, and a firm hope of a
glorious resurrection.
                                                                               
          
                    Lewis Brunson.
