DOCUMENTATION

HUSBAND John Edward METCALF, Sr.

CHRISTENING: Holy Trinity Bishop's Transcript; FHL film 0990828

MARRIAGE_1: Mary Waslin: St. Mary, Sculcoates Parish Register Bishops Transcript; FHL film 0919440. Anthony Simpson was one of the witnesses. Married by banns, both of this parish.

LDS_BAPTISM: Hull member record; FHL film 087004. Baptized in Hull by Geo Edw Taylor, confirmed 21 Oct 1849 by James McNaughton. Baptized at Hull.

MARRIAGE_2: Cecelia Anderson: EHOUS Sealings of Couples-living; #13320; FHL film 0183396. Cecelia Anderson doesn't appear to me to have ever lived with John Edward Metcalf, Sr. after the plural sealing. See her notes.

MARRIAGE_3: Endowment House Sealings of Couples, living & proxy; Book L 1878-1883; FHL film 183402; page 459. John Edward Metcalf born 13 July 1812 Hull, Yorkshire, England & Ann Dearing born 15 Oct 1813, Seaton, Yorkshire, England. Sealed 8 Oct 1883 by D.H. Wells at the Endowment House. Witnesses John Smith, John M. Stucki. Note that I am unclear about what her birth name is. Her tombstone reads "Ann Dearing Metcalf." Her sealing record has Ann DEARING. Her endowment entry in the IGI has her name Ann DEARING, but that entry gives her father as Francis BILLTON. That entry is extracted from the temple record, where she would have used the name she was going by at the time. Perhaps DEARING was a first husband?

DEATH-BURIAL: Journal History of the Church Feb 1887; FHL film 1259785: A reprint of his obituary from the Deseret Evening News. Fayette Ward Membership Record; FHL film 0025955 reads: "Feb 4th 1887, John E.

DEATH-BURIAL: Obituary; The Deseret News Newspaper 22 Dec 1894
JANE ANN BOWN
Sister Jane Ann Bown, wife of Wm. Bown, departed this life at 2:20 p.m. December 11, 1894, at Fayette, Sanpete county, Utah. The cause of her death was congestion of the lungs, being sick but nine days.
Sister Bown was the daughter of John E. and Mary Metcalf, born March 15, 1834, at Hull, Yorkshire, England. She was baptized July 9, 1850, was married in January 1855, emigrated to Utah the same year, lived in Salt Lake City a short time, then moved to Springville, Utah county, where they lived until 1861, when they were called to go to Dixie, and settled in St. George. Brother Bown was released from that mission on account of his health; came to Fayette in 1865, where they have resided up to the time of her demise.
Sister Bown has been president of the Relief Society from its first organization, over twenty years ago. She has also acted as president of the Primary Association since October 1891. She has ever been faithful in these assocations, and not only has been been active in her official duties, but in ministoring to the sick and needy in our midst. She was the mother of ten children, and had also twenty-two grandchildren. She was a faithful Latter-day Saint, and was much beloved by all who knew her. She leaves a husband, six children and a large circle of friends to mourn her loss.
