Elizabeth Hanks ; Arizona; Graham County Guardian Newspaper; Friday, February 25, 1927 p. 4
Monday morning, February 21, 1927, Mrs. Elizabeth Hanks Curtis died at her home in Eden, death being due principally to old age. The deceased was born in Gloucestershire, England, April 15, 1852, and at the time of her death was nearly 75 years of age. She joined the church of the Latter Day Saints when only a small girl and when about 17 years old left home and parents in England and with a company of 900 Latter Day Saints came to the United States in 1869. The company landed in New York and she pioneered her way thru to Utah, enduring many hardships for the sake of the gospel in which she believed.
While in Utah she met Moses Curtis and was married to him January 11, 1870. They lived in Utah until the year 1871, when she and her husband, with other members of the church were called to settle the little town of Brigham City, Arizona, where she did her part in building up the community. While there her son James aged 7 years, was drowned in the Little Colorado River.
In 1881, she and her husband and family, pioneered their way to Graham county and stopped in the town now known as Graham. Then later her family with others moved on down the river to a little settlement called Curtis (now Eden), and spent the remainder of her days there, raising her children through many hardships and trials. Her life was spent in service to others and she helped hundreds of other mothers living from one end of the valley to the other, in sickness of all kinds, often risking her own life in crossing the Gila river, made dangerous by high waters, for the sake of relief to others. She was a faithful worker in the church until her death.
Elizabeth Hanks was the mother of eight children, three boys who are dead, and five girls who are Mrs. Erastus Hancock of Eden, Mrs. I. James Palmer of Thatcher, Mrs. Emanuel Palmer of Miami, Mrs. D. 0. Colvin of Phoenix and Mrs. Alfred Plumb of Eden. All were at her bedside except Mrs. Colvin, as it was impossible for her to get there before the end came. The deceased also leaves 36 grandchildren, 43 great grandchildren and a host of friends.
Funeral services were held [22 Feb 1927] in the L. D. S. Church at Eden, Tuesday, with Bishop Thos. F. Fuller presiding.
The speakers were Elijah Hancock, Mrs. Martha Tryon, Anthon Christensen, President Spencer Kimball and President H. L. Payne. All of the speakers spoke of the great mission the deceased had fulfilled in life and the good she had done to humanity. The musical selection by the choir included the hymn “I Need Thee Every Hour.” “I Have Read of a Beautiful City,” was sung by Mrs. Alice Nelson and Mrs. Lottie E. Fuller and President Payne sang as a solo “Have I Done Any Good in This World Today.” The invocation was offered by Isaac Palmer.

Sarah Clissold HANKS ; Utah; Davis County Clipper; 27 July 1900
Sarah Hanks, mother of
Emanuel Hanks, was so severely burned on the morning of the 24th that she died a few hours later.
She was reaching over the stove to get the stove hook when her clothing caught on fire. Both lids in front and the center piece were off the stove when she did it. Not much is known of how the accident a[o]ccurred as when the fire was put out she was only able to give a brief hint as to how it happened.
Her clothing was all on fire, when two ladies who were going along the sidewalk saw her emerge from the house. The alarm was given but there was no water handy and it was a few seconds before a bucket could be found. It happened to contain some water which was thrown on her. Then the people who had gathered hurriedly torn off what clothing remained on her. It was found that her body from the knees up was burned frightfully. Woolen hose had protected her feet. It being hot weather, she was clad mostly in cotton clothing which burned rapidly.
It was about 8:30 o'clock in the moring when it occurred and she died at a quarter to three in the afternoon. With all her pain she never gave a groan.
She resided in a house by herself very near to her son's house where she had lived for many years.
Deceased would have been eightly-four the 11th of August, and was born in England. Arrived in this country with her husband, the late William Hanks, the fall of 1881 and has since resided in Bountiful. She was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for over fifty years.
Funeral services were held at the tabernacle, Thursday, at 2 p.m. There was a fair attendance.
She was the mother of ten children, seven living, five in England one in Australia and her son here.
She was an o[a]ccoucheuse and practised obstetrics extensively in England.
