p. 4 Albert Miner

Albert Miner was born in Jefferson County, New York , 31 March 1809, the fourth child of Azel and Sylvia. From age seven Albert helped pioneer New London, Ohio. When he was eighteen years of age, his next younger sibling, Amos Dean Miner, with whom he felt a close relationship, died. Two years later Albert's father also died. Our next knowledge of Albert is at age 22, in 1831. It is the assessment of the young woman, Tamma Durfee, whom Albert was courting. When her family joined the newly organized Church of Jesus Chrsit of Latter-day Saints in June 1831, Tamma purposely delayed her baptism until the good young man could know more about it as well. After Albert's marriage to Tamma, 9 August 1831, she was baptized in December 1831, and Albert in February 1832. Tamma was born 6 March 1813, the daughter of Edmond Durfee and Magdalena Pickle. Together Tamma and Albert had nine children: Polly, Orson, Moroni, Sylvia, Mormon, Matilda, Alma, Don Corlos, Melissa.

      In 1833, Tamma and Albert followed their new church to it's gathering place in Kirtland, Lake, Ohio. Here Albert hauled stone every Saturday for the construction of the Kirtland Temple, and they attended the dedication ceremony of that edifice in March 1836. Tamma's family moved on to Missouri in the spring of 1837. That fall, Albert became very ill. By January 1838, Albert was improved, so Tamma procured a sleigh, in which she made a bed for Albert, and they traveled eighty miles in four days to his mother's home in New London for a much needed recuperation. They did not return to Kirtland until May.

In June 1838 the Miners sold their farm in Kirtland and again followed family and church, this time to Missouri, arriving in September at Tamma's father's home. All members of the Miner Family had become sick during this journey, but all soon recovered except two-year-old Sylva, who died in October. They established their home on Log Creek, six miles from Far West, Caldwell, Missouri. There they endured harassment from the people who were fearful that the numerous Mormons would take over the politics of their communities.
The Miners sojourn in Missouri was short lived.:
LDS Baptism: 1 February 1832

LDS Endowment: 3 February 1846, Nauvoo Temple

LDS Sealing to Spouse: 8 August 1852 (Enos Curtis acting as proxy)
