Sarah Jane Pugmire was the second child of eleven born to her parents Joseph Hyrum Pugmire and Eleanor Creighton. She was born in Cedar City, Iron County, Utah. By the time she married, in 1877, her family had left Cedar City and resided in Laketown, Rich County, Utah. Laketown is on the border of Utah and Idaho in the Bear Lake Valley. In 1877 she married Samuel Newton Henderson in Randolph, Rich County, Utah. One year later Sarah and Samuel were sealed to each other in the Endowment House in Salt Lake City. They became the parents of thirteen children. Sarah’s husband came to Utah with the original companies in 1847. He had been born in Missouri but migrated with the Saints upon his baptism into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day-Saints. He was also a veteran of The Blackhawk War.
Sarah’s brother Justin Pugmire married Hannah Elizabeth Winterbottom. Their son Justin Gerald Pugmire married Clara Lzina Barker. Two of Sarah and Samuel’s children married siblings of the same Barker family from which Clara Lzina Barker Pugmire came. Ester married John Thompson Barker Junior and Jasper Henderson married Nancy Alice Barker.
Sarah and her husband bought the simple log home which her father Joseph had built for his family. The photograph below shows a young Sarah Jane with some of her children.
