202. Great Pioneer Story, Grandmother Squaw, and my 2nd great grandmother, Carolyn Farozine Skeen Butler
Today I am re-posting blog # 71, and tomorrow # 72, about my 2nd great grandmother. She was a true pioneer, and went through many amazing experiences during her lifetime. My great great grandmother on my mother's side, Caroline Farozine Skeen, the wife of John Lowe Butler, was an amazing woman herself. She had to run their farm and take care of the children many times when her husband John was gone with the Prophet Joseph Smith, as one of his ordained bodyguards. I'll post several different stories of her in the future, as her life is very inspirational. The Story of Grandmother Squaw After the Prophet was killed and the saints were moving West, John left with his family in Emmett’s Company. (Remember John Lowe Butler was the Prophet's bodyguard, see post # 66, and he also is mentioned in post # 26) John was a wheelright and blacksmith, and after helping to fix other wagons, they were rather late in starting west.
