Infant daughter of Sarah Jane Vernon and Thomas Birch.
This baby's mother was very ill at the time of childbirth. Her mother, the baby's grandmother Vernon, came from Rockport, Summit, Utah to attend to them.
Mary Elizabeth was blessed on the very day that her nineteen year old mother died, less than two weeks after the baby's birth at Willard, Box Elder, Utah.
Her grandmother, Elizabeth Cottrell Vernon, took the infant to the Vernon home and cared for her up to the day of her death at seven months old.
Since the mother, Sarah Jane, had been buried at Willard, and there is no record of the baby having been returned, it is believed she was buried along with the Vernon family in Rockport.
October 2012 update: Thanks to the gravestone photo by DIANA (Diana Enos Hammock), the family lore is established that this Birch infant is not interred at Willard, but instead, at Rockport. This confirms the Willard Cemetery Record.
