Ii happened that Methodist
preacher boarded with Ann Eliza
Young Brigham Young's ninteenth-
and also his youngest and prettlest
wife Anna Eliza was married when
Brgham met and fsncied her With
his uoNe- be removed her husband and
married her himself Having incurred
Brigham displeasure by refusing 70
1.-Two in his harcm. ne built her house
and would not even visit her. She was
product Of Mormouaom. havn ng been
born and reared in the territory, ana
knowing nothing Of Geutiles or the
WAYS OF the world To make a long
story short, the Methodist minister
converted her, and in twenty min
utes she vaca1ed her house and was
placed under the care Of the minister
and ais wife AT the Walker House The
boys" / was one OF them, knew of her
apOstacy and were on hand TO buy her
household Effects. IN few minutes
We raised 81, ice for her by paying large
prices for every article in her house
A common water pail brought $50 and
a straw broom so. Other articles not
worth ten cents were bid in Tor large
sums just to help Mrs. Young and Sc
cure a souvenir Of her.
Mrs. Young was reared by delicate
and refined mother, and she herself
was proud, high-minded and womanly
woman. No wonder she was shocked
at the life she saw in Brignam's harem,
or that she re solted. THE Chief Justice
and the minister induced her to tell
the story OF her life in the parlor of the
Walker House. All the prominent
Gentiles in the city attended. Her
story and the delightful charm Of her
personality won her auditors at once
Every one became enthusiastic over
her, I among the number. Her friends
were legion and the United States
troops were there TO protect her I'm
mediately offers to induce her to lee
ture were telegraphed from all
parts Of the United States. One
day tho editor Of the Salt Lake
Tribune, tho first Gentle paper in
Utah asked me 70 manage Ann Eliza in
series of lectures 20 be delivered IN
the East. I thought il over and finally
consented. provided contract could be
made for two years. Everything was
arranged and ] started ont with Mrs.
Id
who had been q music teacher in Brig
ham s family. but had changed her
views and MAS willing 20 travel as
chaperone. At Lsrimie. the lecture
was a great success and in Denver her
reception was a grand ovation. The aid
of the dressmaker was invoked at the
latter city and Mrs. Young. attired in a
black silk dress and a neat collorette
looked attractive ana oven beautiful.
There was a magnetic charm about her
and il fingered in each sentence Of her
lecture. She took the country By storm.
In Washington, Congressman Blame,
now Secretary OF state, and all the
eminent stetemen heard her. Just forty
eight hours after her first lecture a.
the Capital. the Poland Bill was intro
duced in Congress and passed. At the
en- OF Ou- two years contract she had
SO. GOO in money and with some Of 10
she took her mother and two boys out
Of Utah. never think OF her without
reca ing one OF the best OF women.
Suo is now Mrs VI. A. Denning and liz
ing in Manistee, Michigan. happy, I
sincerely hops.
