Family:Daniel Jerman and Irene Carter (1)

After moving to Mona with her folks, she met a young man who also lived there--Daniel Smith Jerman (Sr.) whom she soon fell in live with @ a civil marriage followed. Daniel, the son of James Alonzo Jerman and Rachel Bunn Lundy, was born 13 July 1844 at New York, N.Y. To this union of Daniel and Irena, only two children were born--Daniel Smith Jerman, Jr. and Orris Lloyd Jerman, 21 Feb. 1867 and 8 March 1869 respectively. Both boys were born in Mona. This couple was sealed in an LDS temple ceremony after the birth of their two boys. Sealing date was 8 Nov 1869.

The father was quite and easy going, but had a quick temper. At first he was gentle and considerate but later kindness between the two turned to indifference or enmity. This estrangement resulted in a civil divorce, followed by a church seperation and their union by a church sealing was, upon their request, cancelled by church officials on 30 July 1870. Daniel Smith Jerman Sr. after raising a second family of seven children--five boys and two girls, mothered by Sussanah Egbert Jerman--died 17 June 1910 and was buried in Grace, Bannock Co., Idaho. All of Daniel's children mothered by Sussannah were born in West Jordon, Utah, except the youngest which was born in Grace, Idaho.
