BIOGRAPHY

In 1863, Ithamer was called to help settle Southern Utah. All but Sarah moved to Harrisburg. She was tired of moving. The couple divorced after this move, between 1863 and 1865. Ithamer and his son helped in the building of the St. George Tabernacle and St. George Temple.

Later Ithamer was called to help settle Mesquite Flats in Nevada. Eventually the town became Bunkerville. Ithamer was one of the first settlers and the first to die at Bunkerville.

Ithamer died on April 13, 1879 and was buried in the Bunkerville Cemetery.
