Phebe's life demonstrated her great faith in the Lord and her willingness, at the age of 49 to accompany her husband in the Mormon Battalion trek. Certainly, these women should have equal recognition with the men. Phebe was the oldest but probably the strongest of the four women and her maturity would suggest that she helped the others to carry on in the face of adversity, even nursing them when they were ill. Some of the journals noted that Phebe was kind to the soldiers and helped them, making the journey easier.
