Almena RANDALL was born on 28 Nov 1814 in Madrid, St. Lawrence, New York, USA.635 She died on 27 Feb 1891 in Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah, USA.635
As the St. Lawrence River leaves Lake Ontario, it flows in a northeasterly direction and on into southern Canada, thus forming part of the boundary line between the United States and Canada. To the east lies Lake Champlain and to the south the Mohawk Valley. This section of the state of New York is known as St. Lawrence County. Early day records give little information as to the exact locations of birthplaces, consequently the birthplace of Almina Randall is designated merely as St. Lawrence County, New York. The date of her birth is given as 28 November 1814. Almina's parents were Henry and Sarah Randall.
The Henry Randall family were staunch Methodists and as such took part in the community in which they resided until 1834, when they moved to Niagara County, New York. Niagara County is joined on the south by Erie County, on the north by Lake Ontario, and on the west by the Niagara River which includes the great Niagara Falls. Into this region came Samuel Milliner, a convert from Edinburgh, Scotland. In April, 1843 Almina Randall was baptized a member of the Church by Samuel Milliner, and in 1845 she migrated to Nauvoo, Illinois. Here she found confusion and the disorder which existed prior to the expulsion of the Saints the following spring. Evidently Almina Randall was not accompanied to Nauvoo by members of her family. It became necessary for such members of the Church to be cared for by others and Almina was fortunate in being sent to the Winslow Farr home. These kind and gracious Saints gave her a good home and loving care. As the time arrived for departure to the west, it was decided that Winslow Farr should marry Almina Randall, as a plural wife (1845), and as such she left Nauvoo with the family.
Not much information is available concerning Almina's life in Utah, but the following report was given in the newspaper at the time of her death: "After her (Mrs. Farr's) arrival in Great Salt Lake City in 1850, she occupied a lone habitation near the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon where she was exposed to great danger from maurading Indians. Subsequently, she lived for a time on a farm in Big Cottonwood where her husband died in August, 1866. Previous to his death, however, she moved to Salt Lake City. For over forty [p.197] years she followed the profession of midwife and in that capacity waited upon thousands of her sisters."
Another incident which influenced her life was when Mary W. Huff, a widow with five children whom she had known in Pottawattamie County, Iowa, came into the valley. Mary had been a member of the Uriah Curtis company and while crossing the plains they were married. The Huff children became very fond of "Aunt Mina" and sometimes stayed a day or two with her. Following the move south at the coming of Johnston's Army Mary and her family remained in Springville, but her daughter, Lavina Huff, was permitted to return to Salt Lake with Almina Farr. Here Lavina continued her attendance at school and assisted her foster mother with the care of some of her patients. The young girl appreciated the love and care "Aunt Mina" gave to her and Almina was truly grateful for the comfort which Lavina brought to her lonely abode.
On the 13th of October, 1865, Lavina, now twenty years of age, was married to William H. Folsom as third wife. Almina Farr cared tenderly for her foster daughter during the delivery of her first five children who were born in Salt Lake City. Then, in 1877, Lavina and her family bade Almina goodbye for they were moving to Manti where they were to live while Mr. Folsom took charge of the construction of the Manti Temple.
Almina Randall Farr made her home on North West Temple Street in Salt Lake City in the 17th Ward. It was here she passed away on February 26, 1891, at the age of seventy-seven years.-Nina Folsom Moss.
