Daughter of Mark Vose and Sarah (Sallie) Conant. Married Edward Sayers 23 Jan 1841.
Obituary from the Deseret News 20 Aug 1884:
SAYERS--In Salt Lake City, August 18th, after a lingering illness of ten weeks' duration, Ruth Daggett Vose Sayers, born February 26th, 1808, at Watertown, three miles from the city of Boston. She was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in the month of May, 1832, consequently she was among the oldest members of the Church. Very few are now living who were baptized at that early date, and now she has gone to meet a large number of old and tried friends beyond the vail. During the building of the Kirtland Temple, although then residing in Boston, she donated every dollar that she earned, except what she needed for her bare support, toward its erection, which aggregated several hundred dollars. Her liberality in this direction as well as in many others of an equally laudable character, has been proverbial up to the time of her death. --COM
Funeral from late residence, 12th Ward, tomorrow, Tuesday, at 1:30 p.m. Friends are respectfully invited.
