DAVIS COUNTY TEACHERS.
Topics Discussed at Yesterdays Ses-
sion-Defective Land Titles.

Pennington, Dec. 9-The regular semi
monthly. session of the Davis County
Teachers Institute was held here today.
There was a fair attendance and some
lively and instructive discussions were
engaged in. The principal topic was "Ap-
perception and Its Relation to Feelings
and Emotions" At the afternoon session,
under the head of Literature" the adj
visibility of introducing Irving's works
into the lower grade schools was dis
cussed, and there was a sentiment
against the proposition. The institute
adjourned this afternoon until Jan. 6.
Walter K. Hitchcock. who Is engaged in
gathering data from the county records
to be used in the making of a new set of
present ownership plats of Davis county
real estate, expects to finish his work in
about a month. The new maps will, it is
expected, be ready for the county as
SCISSOR by Feb. !. and will be used in max
ing the 1900 assessment. Mr.. Hitchcock s
examination of the records has demon
strated the fact that many deeds to Davis
county property have never been recorded
and the titles are, in consequence of this
neglect, imperfect, so far as the official
records show.
Mrs Lorenzo Walker of this place yes
terdav gave birth to twin boys. Both of
the children died, and they were buried
today.
The Pennington choir has enlisted the
services of the local dramatic talent in
the preparation of drama that will be
presented during the holidays. The play
selected is entitled Harvest" The pro-
ceeds will be used for the choir.

the time of her death, and had been a
member Of the Mormon church since its
inception. She married Joseph Smith in
the days of trouble when the church
was founded, and when he died she was
united in marriage to Brigham Young
With him she endured all the hardships
of pioneer life in the crossing of the
plains to Utah. Her father was Ed
ward Partridge. who was the first
bishop ordained into the Mormon
church.
Born In Ohio.
She was born in gainesville, o., Feb
2S, 1924. Her parents were Edward
Partridge and Lydia Clisbee Partridge,
both of whom were born in Massachu-
sets, but who moved to Ohio when
quite young and settled in gainesville.
Mrs. Partridge was one of the first wo-
men to embrace the doctrine of plural
marriage, and is probably the only one
who was ever the wife of two presi-
dents of the church. AS stated, she
first became the wife of Joseph Smith,
with the consent of his wife. Emma.
On the death of the prophet she mar
ried Brigham Young and lived with him
until his death.
Mrs. Young was always a devout adj
herent of her faith. Through good and
evil report she chung to her religion
and lived it in all that the term i'm
plies. Her first child, a son. was born
in Nauvoo. He lived to be years old
and died in Salt Lake. Her Oldest
daughter, Emily Augusta, is the wife
of Bishop H. B. Clawson.
Her Other Children.
Caroline, her second daughter, is the
wife of George Q. Cannon. Her only
living son is Professor Don Carlos
Young, who is connected with the Brig
ham Young academy at Provo. The
other living children are Mrs. Leonard
G. Hardy and Mrs. A. c. Young.
Mrs. Young's death was peaceful and
apparently painless, although she was
called on to endure much suffering the
last four years. She died at the resi-
dence of Bishop Clawson. The funeral
services will be conducted in the
Twelfth ward chapel at noon on We'd
nesday. 1t had been intended ito have
the services on Tuesday, but a post
ponement was necessary on account or
the fact that the last ceremonies for
Apostle Richards will occur on that
day
