Calvin Warby notes:
BRIEF LIFE SKETCH OF SARAH WARBY NELSON Submitted by Sarah Ann Nelson Smith, Daughter Sarah Warby Nelson was born March 5, 1854, in Raymond Terrace, Elderman, Australia. She was the daughter of James and Mary Blanch Warby. Her folks set sail from Australia for the United States when she (Sarah) was 17 days old 22 Mar 1854 on the Julianna . They arrived at San Bernardino, California, and as near as we can tell they stayed there one year before migrating on to Beaver, Utah. Her mother became the mother of 18 children, two sets of twins, so because Sarah was the oldest living girl of the family she had plenty to do in the home, She remembered often setting up Saturday nights to help her mother wash, iron and mend the families clothing so they would be clean and neat for them to wear on Sunday. Once when a young girl, she and my father's sister wanted a new dress. The only material available was factory (which we now call unbleached muslin). They gathered the flowering part of rabbit brush, boiled it and dyed the factory a beautiful yellow from which they made their dresses. They were very proud of them. She married Daniel Morgan Nelson, October 8, 1876 at Beaver, Utah. The next January 18, 1877 when the St. George Temple opened they were sealed by Erastus Snow, who later became president of the church. In eleven years of marriage she had six children, two girls and four boys, She died June 3, 1887 at the age of 33 years. She is buried in the Beaver, Utah, Cemetery.
