Almira Mehitable Meacham went through all kinds of hardships endured by the early day converts of the Mormon Church. Her parents and their family in their westward migration had made a temporary stop at Springfield, Illinois, where Almirira, at the early age of fifteen, was married to Andrew Warren Palmer. To this marriage were born two sons, Almond Babbitt Palmer, who came to Utah and settled at Nephi, and Warren Palmer, who died in infancy. Soon after the death of this son the father, Andrew Warren Palmer, died (1843).
Two years later Almira was married to Edwin Whiting as a plural wife (Married 3 January 1845, Sealed 27 January 1846 Nauvoo Temple). To this marriage were born the following children, most of them in Sanpete and Utah Counties, Utah: Edward Lucian Whiting, Ellen Emerett Whiting, Catherine Emeline Whiting, Cornelia (Dolly) Whiting (my great grandmother), Elisha Franklin Whiting, Edwin Lafayette Henry Whiting, and Sylvia Almira Whiting.
The Whitings had come to Utah with Captain Morley's company in 1849 and settled in Manti where Edwin Whiting became quite prominent. In "Pioneers and Prominent Men of Utah" he is listed as the first mayor of Manti and as having held other important positions of public responsibility.
In 1861 the family moved to Springville where they lived during the early Indian troubles known as the Black Hawk and Walker Indian Wars.
Almira became one of Utah County's early nurses and midwife and did much in that way to provide a living for her family.
Plural marriage did not bring happiness. There was great pressure by the law and in 1861 Almira and Edwin Whiting separated.
July 24, 1863, Almira married Henry Packard and to this her third marriage was born a daughter, Sophia Olive Packard. Later the Packards moved to Healdsburg, California, where they lived until 1896 when Henry Packard died.
After the death of Henry Packard Almira moved to San Bernardino where she lived in a home given to her by her son-in-law, Nathan Henry Barton, and her daughter Sylvia Almira (Whiting).
Almira Mehitable Meacham passed away 1 October 1898 and is laid to rest in the Pioneer Cemetery in San Bernardino, California.
