      2. "Daily Enquirer," Sept. 9, 1896. The people she saw in vision would be her biological mother Mary Ann Winner and her daughter Charlotte Ann Ferris; the "grandma" may have been Hanna ( ) Winner, wife of George King Winner or perhaps a nickname for Jane Wells Cooper Hanks, her adoptive mother who had just recently died a few months earlier. It is also interesting to note that Martha had a testimony of her LDS religion which counters the perception that her adoptive mother Jane Hanks was apostate. The obituary:
      "Death at Marysvale. Editor Enquirer.
      Marysvale, Utah, Aug. 31, 1896 -- I write to inform the relatives and friends of the death of Martha C. Ferris, my wife, at this place on August 24, at 6:25 p.m. Her illness was nervous debility, caused by prolapsus-uteri, which took her away in some ten days sickness.
      She leaves her husband and five children to mourn the great loss of wife and mother.
      In her last hours she gave the strongest testimony of her failth in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints, and, arousing at times, would say, "Oh what white robes there are in heaven that I am going to wear. I am going to my dear little Lottie and grandma, and my own real mother. They are here. See! See!" and many other expressions that showed that she was crossing the river to that land of eternal day.
      Sister Ferris was the daughter of David Frederick of the Mormon Battalion, and was born at the Mobava [Mojave] in California. Her mother died, leaving her in the care of Jane W. Hanks, the wife of Ebenezer Hanks, when she was only thirteen months old. The name by which she was known was Martha Hanks."

      ACTION:
      1. April 13, 2003 email from Ardis Parshall, Piute County genealogy web coordinator : There are court records concerning at least three of her children (the two smallest, who were put up for adoption, and an older girl by Michael Stoker over whom there was something of a custody battle).
