Mary by Fran Helmold

Mary and her children left England in 1862. She was to join her husband in Utah as soon as she could get there. She would have put it off longer because it was such a hard trip for her. But he worte to her and told her that he was thinking of taking another wife. She didn't tell the children this, but she sold everything and they left. She was so surprised that she couldn't imagine it and she hurried as fast as she could to protect their family. John was only teasing her because he wanted her there with him, but she didn't know this. But that only made her more worried than anything he had previous told her. It had hurt. After many months of worrying and traveling, they arrived in Salt Lake. John had long since forgotten what he had told her and was surprised when she told him about it. He hadn't wanted Mary to worry so, but she was not forgiving. Until she had been called to a next door neighbors house to treat a man who later that night had died from a heart attack. She was so stricken that she rushed home at once to tell John that she forgave him and that things were to be as usual. They later moved to Huntsville which was named after a Captain Hunter who had been a sea captain. Brigham Young asked her if she would be the doctor of that community. She was glad to do it and she served that place until she died.
