Sarah Verrinder's grave
22 May 2003 00:00

Today I just happened to search for "Sarah Verrinder" on google, and found an index of articles from the Utah Historical Quarterly. Apparently in Volume 56, pages 323-327, there is information about the gravesites of William Capener and Sarah Verrinder (Capener). A quick lookup at my local public library website showed they have archives of the periodical, so I'll be heading there at lunch time :-).

Later that day... The article in question was about English stone carvers in Utah in the mid-1800s, and included images of some gravestones made by these carvers. And who's gravestones did they happen to include? Sarah Verrinder Capener, as well as two daughters of William Capener and Ellen Rigby (Capener). What's cool about this is that earlier this year, I went up to the Salt Lake Cemetery to find Sarah's gravestone, and despite having the 'address' of it from the cemetery office, for the life of me I couldn't find it. So now I have an image of it Next time I'll at least have a clue as to what to look for.
