Mary Ellen Shaffer
Daughter of Joseph Russell Shaffer and Gilead Taylor. Evidence from genealogical records proves that the Shaffer family traveled to Utah in 1852. A child was born 30 August 1851 in Missouri, and the first documentation to place them in Utah was the birth of another child in October 1852.
Her birth and death dates are confirmed by her death certificate, the Utah State History Cemeteries and Burials Database, and her obituary.
