Seegmiller" and I have to tell you that your great-grandmother Emma left pages and pages of her life and history. She's my husband's "Grandma Great" but I claim her as a sister in spirit and intend to publish her writings in the next year. She probably rolled over in her grave when you wrote "And yet, she is silent. She wrote no record, recorded no history." She loved writing and had a beautiful way with words. She had strong feelings and expressed them. Her life was difficult, but she lived it fully. Why don't you email us at kseegmiller@bresnan.net and let's get acquainted.

Your great grandfather, Daniel, was my grandfather. My father (William West Seegmiller)told the story of the killing differently than I have read in some versions. I think I will write my father's version as I can best remember it. When/if I do I will try to remember this place and post it. Thanks for the story.

I have had many spiritual experiences with my Grandmother, whom I never met, that have revealed our similarities in life. These were so valuable to me at times when I didn't feel like I had any answers. I wish I had some first hand writings but I know what I had is even better and come to think of it, I should write them down!!! Bad ME! Thanks for a very thought-provoking post.

I am so thankful for the few things my aunt has written down about my grandmother and her family. Hmmm. Guess I'd better improve on my own journal writing! Enjoyed this Maralise!

My grandmother did behave \"well.\" And in this case, Laurel is right. She didn\'t make history, but her history (even the lack of one) is very important to me. Is that enough? No. But, at the same time, it is something. Something not to be devalued. Glenda--What documents do you have of them?  How do you know them?  Do you feel you do/can?  Frankly, in my opinion, it\'s impossible to \"know\" these women.  But, I don\'t think that excludes us from trying, from dealing with the difficult issues, from grappling with the sometimes haunting nature of the past. Justine--Thank YOU for reading it :) Kylie--Yes! His name was Daniel Seegmiller and his other ranch (the one where he and his wives lived) was located in Upper Kanab, Kane County. I would love to know more... Emily M–For obvious reasons, Laurel Thatcher Ulrich\’s quote, \”Well-behaved women rarely make history\” has crossed my mind repeatedly this month.

I've run across it in my research. That event totally shocked that poor little town. Did the murder happen in/around Kanab? I’ve run across it in my research.
