Autobiography of Mary Anna (Stucki) Reber Hafen (1854-1946), second child of Samuel Stucki and Magdalena Stettler. Her parents were converts to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who immigrated from Bern, Switzerland to Salt Lake City, Utah in 1860 in the tenth and last company to cross the plains in handcarts, and settled at Santa Clara near St. George, Utah. Mary Ann married John Reber as a plural wife in July 1873 (he was an older man, who died shortly in a wagon accident), and John George Hafen (also as his plural wife) in November 1873. They moved shortly to help establish the church colony at Bunkerville, Nevada, and later returned to St. George, Utah.

Includes genealogical tables listing descendants.

Includes Allen, Brooks, Durrant, Hardy, Leavitt, Woods and related families.
