While in Florence, Nebraska, Sarah came down with cholera. The family had to stay in Florence for about six weeks for her to get better. When she recovered her health, they joined the Ansel P. Harmon Company to travel west.
While on the journey westward, when they came to the Sweetwater River in Wyoming, little Anne came down with scarlet fever and passed away.
Little 3 year old Anne is buried just west of the Sweetwater River in Wyoming.
Evan made a little box with six handles, her brothers and sisters were the pallbearers to her final resting place.
