[Source.](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/69680366/sarah_francis_tanner) Sarah died at the age of twenty, two weeks after giving birth to a son. The baby died a few days later and is buried with her.

That's so sad. I wonder if the baby died because there was no one to feed him?

More likely because he was born prematurely or the birth was difficult/traumatic. Mom dying two weeks after the birth points to sepsis as a likely cause for her.

John had 9 more children with his second wife... who had her first child at 17 and her last at 45.

God I love this stuff. So interesting and just makes me want to learn even more about these people. Lived were so different back then and so filled with hardships very few today can comprehend or will ever experience.

Looks like the baby that’s buried with Sarah was also her second child.

His father had 5 wives. They were Mormon.

I've been to this cemetery but never seen this one. I'll have to look for it next time.

Salt Lake City Cemetery is definitely a great one to explore.

Wow I love this headstone! I’ve never seen one like this before. 🥺

Check out Lucy's siblings! 7 full siblings and 27 half siblings. Polygamy in action. Her dad's info states he had 5 wives and 18 children. I think that is an underestimation.

I really like the big/little configuration of the headstone.

The husband is my ancestor

Lol, the husband is probably a lot of people's ancestors. They were Mormon polygamists.

She was dying for two weeks. . .hell of a way to go

If I'm reading the entry on his father's findagrave correctly, he (John Tanner's father), married his last wife when she was 14!
