Alice Penn Maiben (1847-1920): Gravesite
The is the gravesite of Alice Penn Maiben, my 2rd great grandmother. These photos come from the findagrave.com website.
She is buried in the Logan City Cemetery in Logan, Utah.
The following paragraph about her life is included with the website:
Alice Penn Maiben Squires was the oldest child of Henry and Caroline Penn Maiben. Her parents were converted to the LDS church in 1851. The family left for America in 1853 and arrived in Salt Lake Valley. She walked most of the way across the plains. She married a young man who was in the same pioneer company as her John Fell Squires on 7 Aug 1868. They had 12 children together. Her descendants remember her as being a wonderful cook and lovely lady. Heber J. Grant spoke at her funeral in the Logan Tabernacle.
