Hey everybody: I was on meridianmagazine.com today and found a great article about one of our great Uncle, Easton Fox's ancestors. Easton once showed me a book about this great lady. The article is about her life and her contributions to the church. They still have a recording of her voice and there is also a picture of her in the article.
She wrote the hymn Carry On, was in the Young Women general Presidency of the Mutual Improvement Association for over forty years, including acting as president. She was involved in the women's suffrage movement, as were many of the prominent women in Utah back in the late 1800's.
She took her first plane ride at the age of 103 and died when she was 104.
She arrived in the great Salt Lake Valley in 1867.
I hope you will check out this article. Though she is not in our blood line she is in Easton's and we all loved him very much.
To read the article, go to meridianmagazine.com and check out the First Line News in the upper right hand corner. Scroll down until you see the heading "Lost Recording......." Click there and follow the link. Great stuff.
Hope everyone is almost ready for Christmas. I am looking forward to seeing all the Cali relatives the week after Christmas. Love to you all.
Susie
