Alphonse Amos Burgess Ingram (1834-1880), a marriage that also ended in divorce. Her third marriage was to John S. Bozarth (1824-1882), and lasted about 4 years, ending with his death. ---------------------- A report from David Stuart, an early missionary, declares: "Our brethren in Washington were having a hot time. An organized mob headed by priests [ministers] and apostates ran the Elders out of the country at the point of the bayonet and ordered the saints to renounce Mormonism or leave the country." He went to Washington Territory to meet his Missionary brothers. He found the Elders had been driven out and the handful of Saints were afraid to recognize him in public or invite him to their homes. "they had all backed out but Sister Louisa A. John [Bozarth], who was neither afraid nor ashamed to invite me to her house, although her husband was in sympathy with the mob. I remained there for two weeks trying to break the yoke of bondage from the necks of the Saints, but all to no purpose." While a handful of converts who remained faithful gathered to Utah in the spring of 1858, only Sister Bozarth remained behind, so she was there to welcome the Mormons when they began to migrate to Oregon in some numbers in the late 1880's and 1890's. by that time she was a widow but had an indomitable spirit. She died in 1911, and was buried in Woodland, Washington. Such was the hatred against the Mormons even in 1911, that the service was held secretly and officials of the Church had to go later to the burial site in the middle of the night to dedicate her grave. The Relief Society record of the Portland Branch make mention of the death of this pioneer queen and furnish this epitaph: "When the golden sun in setting and you sleep beneath the sod, May your name in gold be written in the autograph of God."
