Nettie H. Rencher, Snowflake Settler
SNOWFLAKE – Services for Mrs. Nettie Hunt Rencher, 93, one of the Mormon pioneers who settled Snowflake in 1878, will be at 2 p.m. tomorrow at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Burial will be at Snowflake Cemetery.
Mrs. Rencher died Saturday at the home of her daughter here, Mrs. Virginia Frey. She came here at the age of 5 when her father, John Hunt, was called to be the first bishop of the Mormon Church here.
Self-educated and well-read, she taught in Snowflake schools when classes were held in a log cabin. Her payment was usually in produce from the parents of the children.
After her marriage to Joseph A. Rencher, she lived 19 years in Eagar. As a widow, she was an LDS missionary for 12 years on the Hopi and Navajo reservations. She also taught handicapped children in her home in Snowflake for many years.
Mrs. Rencher also wrote poetry and histories of Mormon settlers. Two of her poems were published in literary anthologies, and her large collection of original poems is kept by her family.
One book she wrote about her father, “John Hunt, Frontiersmen,” was published a week ago by Bookcraft, Salt Lake City, Utah.
Survivors include three sons, Ben of Snowflake, Lynn of Canon City, Colo., and John of Mexico City; two daughters, Mrs. Beth Cox of Mesa and Mrs. Frey of Snowflake; three sisters, Mrs. Loie West of California, Mrs. Ita Turley of Chino Valley and Mrs. Georgia Jackson of Wickenburg; 24 grandchildren and 27 great-grandchildren.
