The town of Erie, Penssylvania, Erie county, was a small town of a few hundred people in 1831. People got about on horseback and with oxteams and wagons and shank's mares (walking). They had a newspaper coming out once a week. The use of candles was their only means of lighting at night, and all cooking was done in open fire places with wood. there were no sidewalks and few roads were paved. Churches had no heat in them. There were no public schools and only one private school. Most of the houses were of logs andgenerally only one room with no plumbing.

This town of Erie, Erie, Pennsylvania was where our beloved Grandma Diantha Hanchett was born 17 Oct 1831. Her parents were of DUTCH descent. Her father was Martin Hanchett (abt 1808-1810); her mother's name was Sarah Mecham. Some of her brothers and sisters were born in Kirtland, Ohio and some in McKean, Pennsylvania. The names of her brothers and sisters follow: Miranda Hanchett married Lorenzo Marble; Nathaniel Hanchett married Sarah Mecham Session; Mary Rosetta Hanchett married Weslie Norton; Elam Hanchett.

At the time of the organization of the Church of Jesus Christ, this family was baptized members ofthe church and joined the saints and travelled across the plains by ox team, wagons, handcarts, and walked lots of the way.

Diantha was baptized 9 Jan 1846. We can think of Diantha as a strong, sturdy gil with the build of short stocky body 5 ft tall, black eyes and dark hair, definately a brunette in complexion. She was able to do work, tend babies, do odd jobs for money. Making candles was one job she was good at.

Growing to womanhood and knowing the value of friends and family life, she became the fourth wife of Elias Gardner, married on 1 Nov 1849; endowed 25 Nov 1859; sealed to her husband 11 Jan 1860. she and Elias lived in Payson, UT; also in Annabell, Sevier co., Utah. Elias and Diantha had seven children: Betsy Ann Gardner; Sarah Diantha Gardner; Susan Locretia Gardner; Joseph Gardner; James Gardner; Marilla Gardner; Nathaniel Gardner.

While in Utah, they were drivn from one place to another by Indians. They farmed and in 1851, Diantha taught school in her home in Payson. Her own and neighbor children came to her school. Diantha made a visit to Arizona about 1888 to see her daughters, Marilla, Susan, and Sarah Curtis. She came down by train with Aunt Mill and Aunt Ellen. They were in Utah because of the persecution of polygamy. They thought the persecution might let up if they were away, but they got homesick and came home. thile Birdie, whose mother had died, was living with Aunt Susan, a little incident happend that shows some of the benevolent character of Grandma.

aunt Susan had a beautiful wax doll hanging on the wall. Birdie was tending the baby, Sadie, and she took the doll hanging on the wall. Then later hung it back up. Someone outside began pounding on the wall, and the doll fell and broke its legs. Birdie told Aunt Susan about it and Aunt Susan was going to punish birdie for breaking the doll and Grandma Diantha said, "Susie, you wouldn't punish that little girl who came to you and told you the truth." She loved children and was especially kind to those who didn't have a mother.

she always was thoughtful of Aunt Marilla's children. She would call them in and give them a piece of bread and butter or something to eat. Diantha was very kind in this way to members of the family. Everyone loved her. After Grandpa Elias Gardner died in Annabell, Utah in 1890, she took another trip to Arizona. Grandma Diantha came on the train by herself, and Uncle Tom Gardner met her at the depot. She came and lived with her daughter, Sarah Diantha and Joseph Curtis. Grandma had a room by herself and was very comfortable.

It was fun to have Grandma at our house. She was jolly and good-natured. We all loved her and we could help take care of her. She loved to drink tea. She would have it every meal. She would say when asking for a second cup, "Better a poor bellie burst than good tea waste."

Her daughter, Susan Lacretia lived near Sarah. Marilla had passed away 13 Nov 1891. Diantha could visit her daughters here. She could go to church with the family who always went with horses and a big wagon. It was difficult for Grandma to get into the wagon, so a chair was placed to climb on into the wagon, then put up in the wagon for Grandma to sit on. Sometimes she would sit up high in the spring seat with the driver.

Grandma need only to call for some child to come and help her or tie her shoe or apron strings. There was always someone to lend a hand. She loved her son Than and we girls would help her write letters to Uncle Than. Alta, our sister, was the one she liked to call on to write letters for her.

She lived here on the ranch for many years. We children loved to hear her talk. She was so emphatic about where she was born and would repeat, "Erie, Erie co., Pennsylvania, and she would say she was Pennsylvania Dutch."

In her last days she became somewhat inactrive. We girls would walk with her to steady her so she would not fall. One morning she did not feel well and lay in bed. Sarah took her some breakfast. She ate very little and stayed in bed. She went to sleep and was asleep several hours. We called Bro. P.A. Lofgreen. He was our best and nearest doctor. Dr. Lofgreen felt that she was in a coma and might not wake up at all.

Mother called in Aunt Susan and Aunt Ellen and they all decided that she was getting weaker and would not come out of this sound sleep. She passed in her sleep very peacefully and without pain. She died 19 Nov 1902 at 71 years of age. Preparation was made for a home funeral service at the Jos. N. Curtis farm. Then her body was laid to rest in the family plot at St. David cemetery. Her grave is by the side of her daughter, Marilla who passed on early in life. Then later Sarah Diantha Curtis was buried on the other side with beautiful head stones at each grave.
