Henrietta Janes was the only surviving child of Josiah and Asenath Slater Janes. She was born in Mansfield. In 1841 her parents embraced the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and moved to Nauvoo, Illinois.
Her father died,and her mother married Samuel Bent a few years later. He soon died (August 16, 1846), leaving Henrietta, her mother and grandmother to make the long journey westward alone.
They crossed the Mississippi October 1, 1846, carrying what personal effects they could in their hands. They lay on the west bank of the river one month before teams and wagons arrived from Council Bluffs to take them west. These wagons only took them as far as Garden Grove, where they were forced to remain nine more months before the journey to Council Bluffs could be continued.
On arrival in Council Bluffs they crossed the Missouri River to Winter Quarters, where they waited all winter hoping against hope an opportunity might come to make the journey to Utah. In the spring of 1848 when all persons not able to go west were ordered off the Indian lands by the agent of the government, Henrietta [her mother] and Grandmother Slater re-crossed the river to Council Bluffs. [Grandmother died in June 1848] Here they remained four more years before outfits from Utah arrived to take them west.
Leaving the bluffs June 4, 1852, the hundred-day trip began. Henrietta, not wishing to impose on her benefactors more trouble than necessary, walked nearly the entire distance across the plains. They arrived in Salt Lake City September 12, 1852. Henrietta was then seventeen years of age.
Soon after arrival in the valley, she and her mother moved to Union Fort where they arrived just in time to be in the Indian troubles of 1854.
Henrietta and Isaiah were married Jan 1, 1856.
Their first contribution to the population of Utah arrived November 25, 1856. They named the child Henrietta. In 1859 the Cox tribe all moved to San Pete Valley, arriving in Mt. Pleasant just in time to furnish that city with its first white baby, born June 5, 1859; the child was named Isaiah.
The family soon moved on to North Bend, later renamed Fairview, where on June 30, 1861, a second daughter was born, whom they named Julia.
In 1861 Isaiah was called on a mission by President Brigham Young to go and help settle Dixie. The family arrived in Washington County simultaneously with many other pioneers who were called at the same time. Henrietta adjusted herself to the warmer climate, which improved her health and vigor. June 18, 1864, the family was blessed by the arrival of a second boy, whom they named David Jehu.
December 20, 1866, Henrietta gave birth to a third daughter, whom she named Sarah Lucretia. Henrietta was not fortunate with her next three children who died in infancy. July 1, 1877, her last child, Artemesia, was born.
Believing the cause for the death of their three children was due to the heat of St. George, Henrietta took Artemesia to Rockville to live with her eldest daughter, Henrietta.
In 1897 when her son-in-law David Stout, moved to Hinckley, Utah, Henrietta also went.
Until 1906, Henrietta divided her time between working in the St. George Temple during the winter months and helping her daughter, Artemesia, in Hinckley during the summer months.
In company with her daughter and husband, they visited their three sisters living in Guadalupe, Mexico, in 1906. The following year she returned to St. George, where she remained one year. In 1908 she returned to Mexico where she was when the colonists were driven out of that country by the Mexican revolutionists in July, 1912.
Arriving in El Paso, July 30, 1912, in freight cars in company with 500 other Mormon refugees; she remained a few days in the camps before proceeding on by train to Moapa, Nevada, where her oldest son, Isaiah lived.
In 1913 she went on to Hinckley, Utah, where her two daughters, Julia and Artemesia were then living. She made one or two more visits to St. George before 1917, but spending more of her time in Hinckley. The end came June 17, 1917. At the time of her death she had six children alive, about 40 grandchildren, and in 1941 about 122 great grandchildren.
