Biography
Sarah (Whitney) Kimball was a Latter Day Saint pioneer.
Whitney was born in Kirtland, Ohio on March 22, 1825 to Newel K. Whitney and Elizabeth Whitney.[1] Sarah was thirteen years old when her family left Kirtland shortly after the failure of the Kirtland Safety Society with the intention of relocating to Missouri.
During this time, Sarah’s mother wrote that her children “accepted this change in their worldly circumstances without a murmur. They were devotedly attached to Joseph". Upon their arrival in St. Louis, the family learned of the escalating conflicts between the Mormons and the Missourians, and the Governor’s issuance of the Missouri Executive Order 44. Sarah’s family decided to avoid Missouri, and lived temporarily in several places before eventually arriving in Nauvoo, Illinois in the spring of 1840.[1]
Sarah's father arranged for Sarah to marry Joseph Smith, Jr. as an alliance to bind the two families as one unit in heaven. [2] About seven months after her marriage to Smith, she married Joseph C. Kingsbury on April 29, 1843 in Nauvoo, Hancock, Illinois. He later pretended this was an imaginary or pretend marriage and married someone else, not maintaining his relationship with her.[3] Sarah married Heber C. Kimball on March 17, 1845 in Nauvoo, Hancock, Illinois.[4] They had seven children together, the first three all named David.[5]
Sarah died September 4, 1873 and was buried on September 11 at Salt Lake City Cemetery, Salt Lake, Utah, United States.
