History
William Jacque was a soldier in the English Army and while on a recruiting party in the southern part of Somersetshire he met and fell in love with Margaret Smyth. A year after their marriage they moved to Ireland where two children, Sarah and Samuel were born at Limerick. From there the family moved to Portugal, Spain and then came back to England where three more Children were added to the family.
When Sarah grew to young womanhood she married Joseph Couzens in England and to them were born five children, Elizabeth, William, George, Samuel and Sara Jane. Joseph joined the Latter-day Saint Church in January 1848 and Sarah about six months later. In 1851 they left England and started for Utah but had to remain in St. Louis, Missouri for one year in order to get enough means to go on. They arrived in Salt Lake City September 4, 1852 where they stayed through the winter; then went to Lehi where Joseph worked as a rock mason. He was killed by an Indian at Pelican Point February 26, 1856 while rounding up cattle and laid to rest in Lehi's old burying ground, along with two other men who were killed at the same time. Being widowed so suddenly and so soon after reaching the land of Zion was a great blow to Sarah but she determined to carry on. When the call came for people to go north into Cache Valley, she went with her family. Her eldest daughter, Elizabeth who had married and left John Lowe because of disagreements with one of his wives, now had married John Walkler Brown and was living in Lehi. Later they too came to Cache Valley to live. There again Sarah had near tragedy in her life, for her son, Samuel, who was about twenty years old, was shot in the chest by Indians. Though he lay at death's door for many months he recovered. He lived to be fifty-three years old and became the father of eight children. He and his wife, Phebe Hatch Couzens died within a few months of each other.
Sarah was lonely after her children married so she married a Mr. Lilley. They lived at Hooper, Weber County. About this time her son George went to work for a man who was taking livestock to California. She never heard from him again. William, too, went to California in search of work. When neither of her sons returned she was heartbroken and grieved herself to death.
After his mother's death William learned the whereabouts of his sister Sara Jane Anderson in Oregon and through her he also found Elizabeth and Samuel. He learned too, that George had been shot and killed, somewhere between Nevada and California, by a transient traveler whom he had refused to let play his precious violin.
Sarah Jacque was buried in the Hooper City cemetery about 1879 at the age of 70 years. She was always faithful to the Church of her choice in spite of the many sorrows and trials with which her life was beset. -Ila Bauer
