The World of Joseph Fielding: Chapter 41 Mary Ann Peake Greenhalgh
The World of Joseph Fielding: Chapter 41 Mary Ann Peake Greenhalgh Fielding Family, and Martin Harris Joseph Fielding’s plural wife, Mary Ann Peak Greenhalgh, was fifty-seven years old when she was widowed in 1863. She continued to live in her home on Second West, two blocks from the center of town. She sustained herself and her daughters from her income as a midwife, which surely kept her busy. Her oldest daughter Mary Ann had married James McKnight six months before her husband’s death, but it appears that Mary Ann remained in her mother’s home. A neighbor of Mary Ann Fielding was her nephew Joseph F. Smith, living in a home he likely built on his mother’s downtown property. They remained neighbors until Mary Ann’s death.1 In 1870, the census enumerator recorded that James McKnight was living in Mary Ann Fielding’s home. The wife shown is named Cornelia, but this woman had died 5 years earlier. Most likely Mary Ann Fielding was intended. Anna might have been Fanny, Cornelia’s daughter, who was enumerated as Annie on this same census in the 12th Ward where her father was also enumerated a second time. James and Alice are Mary Ann’s young children. Mary Ann Fielding was actually the owner of the home, this being where she had lived for 20 years. Joseph F. Smith was her immediate neighbor. By 1870, it appears that the neighborhood had been filled in with other homes. Mercy Thompson was enumerated at the bottom of the census page where her sister-in-law had been enumerated. -
Before the Beard: Trials of the Young Joseph F. Smith
A_kenney_JFS_REALLYFINAL.qxd 10/8/01 11:37 PM Page 20 SUNSTONE By birth and temperament, Joseph F. Smith was destined for prominence. He was of the “royal lineage”—nephew of the Prophet Joseph and son of the Patriarch Hyrum—and his zeal for the Restoration never wavered. Whatever privileges may have accrued to him from his parentage were surpassed in spades by the trials he suffered as a young man. Combined, they produced a complex and very human being. BEFORE THE BEARD: TRIALS OF THE YOUNG JOSEPH F. S MITH By Scott G. Kenney Joseph F. Smith, circa 1858 Joseph F. Smith, circa 1905 PAGE 20 NOVEMBER 2001 A_kenney_JFS_REALLYFINAL.qxd 10/8/01 11:37 PM Page 21 SUNSTONE E IS THE MAN WITH THE LONG BEARD WHOSE clasped her arms around his head, turned his pale face we have been looking at for the past two years on face upon her heaving bosom, and then a gushing, H the cover of the 2000–01 Priesthood and Relief plaintive wail burst forth from her lips: “Oh! Hyrum, Society manual. He is Joseph F. Smith, son of Hyrum and Mary Hyrum! Have they shot you, my dear Hyrum—are Fielding Smith, sixth president of the Church (1901–18), and you dead, my dear Hyrum!” She drew him closer and the father of the tenth, Joseph Fielding Smith. He was born in closer to her bosom, kissed his pale lips and face, put Far West, Missouri, two weeks after the Haun’s Mill massacre, her hands on his brow and brushed back his hair. -
Imperial Zions: Mormons, Polygamy, and the Politics of Domesticity in the Nineteenth Century
Imperial Zions: Mormons, Polygamy, and the Politics of Domesticity in the Nineteenth Century By Amanda Lee Hendrix-Komoto A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) in the University of Michigan 2015 Doctoral Committee: Professor Susan M. Juster, Co-Chair Associate Professor Damon I. Salesa, Co-Chair Professor Terryl L. Givens Associate Professor Kali A.K. Israel Professor Mary C. Kelley ii To my grandmother Naomi, my mother Linda, my sisters Laura and Jessica, and my daughter Eleanor iii Acknowledgements This is a dissertation about family and the relationships that people form with each other in order to support themselves during difficult times. It seems right, then, to begin by acknowledging the kinship network that has made this dissertation possible. Susan Juster was an extraordinary advisor. She read multiple drafts of the dissertation, provided advice on how to balance motherhood and academia, and, through it all, demonstrated how to be an excellent role model to future scholars. I will always be grateful for her support and mentorship. Likewise, Damon Salesa has been a wonderful co-chair. His comments on a seminar paper led me to my dissertation topic. Because of him, I think more critically about race. In my first years of graduate school, Kali Israel guided me through the politics of being a working-class woman at an elite academic institution. Even though my work took me far afield from her scholarship, she constantly sent me small snippets of information. Through her grace and generosity, Mary Kelley served as a model of what it means to be a female scholar. -

Mercy was living with her daughter, Mary Taylor, Mary’s son Robert, and a likely a boarder who exchanged services for room. -
President Joseph Fielding Smith “Used Three Great Words That I Can Never Forget,” Recalled President Gordon B
The Life and Ministry of Joseph Fielding Smith President Joseph Fielding Smith “used three great words that I can never forget,” recalled President Gordon B. Hinckley. Those words were “true and faithful.” President Hinckley said, “In his public ad- dresses, in his private conversation, in his prayers to the Lord, he pleaded that we might be true and faithful.” 1 President Thomas S. Monson shared a similar memory: “Even in his advanced years, [he] always prayed, ‘May we be true and faithful to the end.’” 2 “True and faithful.” For President Joseph Fielding Smith, this was more than an often-repeated phrase. It was a heartfelt expression of his hope for all people. It was also a description of his life, from his childhood through his service as President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. “A Child of Promise” Joseph Fielding Smith “was born as a child of promise,” said Elder Bruce R. McConkie of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. Elder McConkie, a son-in-law to President Smith, explained that Julina Lambson Smith “had three daughters but no sons, and so she went before the Lord and, like Hannah of old, ‘vowed a vow.’ [1 Samuel 1:11.] Her promise: that if the Lord would give her a son, ‘she would do all in her power to help him be a credit to the Lord and to his father.’ The Lord hearkened to her prayers, and she kept her prom- ise to him.” 3 On July 19, 1876, Julina and her husband, Joseph F. -
Outside the Mormon Hierarchy: Alternative Aspects of Institutional Power
Jill Mulvay Derr and C. Brooklyn Derr Outside the Mormon Hierarchy: Alternative Aspects of Institutional Power By 1900, the general leadership of the Relief Society, the Young Ladies' Mutual Improvement Association, and the Primary Association had together made plans for a woman's building for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- day Saints. "We want to have a house and we want land to build it on and it should be in the shadow of the temple," Sarah M. Kimball, a vice-president in the Relief Society corporation, had told the sisters at a conference a few years earlier.1 The women's organizations had originally considered buying land, but the Church's First Presidency decided to make them a gift of land immedi- ately east of Temple Square in Salt Lake City. They had to raise some $20,000 before they could commence building. Church president Lorenzo Snow had told them that "when we had that amount on hand he would give the deed of the land, and we could be as sure of it as you will be of happiness when you get to heaven." 2 Some $14,000 into the fund-raising (sisters all over the Church contributed one dollar each), women leaders were disturbed by rumors that plans for a separate woman's building had been shelved and that the women's organiza- tions would be officed in a Presiding Bishop's building to be built on the same property.3 The rumors were true. The Bishop's Building was dedicated in 1909 with a few offices designated for the women's organizations. -
