Biography
Emma
Lucy
Gates
Bowen
was
born
on
November
5
,
1880
in
St
.
George
,
Utah
to
Jacob
F
. and
Susa
(Young)
Gates
,
daughter
of
Brigham
Young
and
Lucy
Bigelow
.
Although
her
name
was
Emma
Lucy
, she was
known
as
Lucy
Gates
by
most
of the
public
, and
Lulu
by her
close
friends
and
family
.
Lucy
began
taking
piano
lessons
as a
child
in
Utah
. Her
first
teachers
were
Mrs
.
Lillie
Roberts
De
Lorey
and
Professor
J
.
J
.
McClellan
.
When
she was
seventeen
Lucy
'
s
parents
made
the
decision
to
send
Lucy
to
Germany
where
she
could
further
study
the
piano
.
Lucy
left
Utah
in
1897
and
attended
the
Royal
Conservatory
of
Music
in
Berlin
.
While
studying
at this
school
some
of her
professors
happened
to
hear
Lucy
sing
and were
surprised
at the
quality
of her
voice
. They
encouraged
her to
stop
focusing
her
energies
on the
piano
and
develop
her
voice
instead
.
Lucy
decided
to
follow
their
advice
and
soon
found
training
with
Mme
.
Blanche
Corelli
, with
whom
she
developed
a
close
relationship
.
Vocal
training
with
Corelli
helped
Lucy
to
advance
her
talents
and she was
soon
well
known
throughout
the
world
for her
opera
voice
. She
made
her
first
debut
at the
Royal
Opera
House
in
Berlin
as
Anchen
in the
opera
,
Der
Friestschutz
.
Lucy
sang
in
many
European
countries
including
Germany
,
Austria
,
Switzerland
,
Holland
,
Belgium
,
England
,
Scotland
, and
Wales
, as
well
as the
United
States
. Her
fame
was
very
widespread
, and
Lucy
had
plenty
of
opportunities
to
live
abroad
, but she
chose
to
return
to
Utah
and
live
among
her
family
and
friends
.
Lucy
met
Albert
Ernest
Bowen
in
1914
, and
after
a
two
year
courtship
they were
married
on
June
30
,
1916
.
Lucy
continued
to
sing
and
travel
after
her
marriage
, but
tried
to
stay
in
Utah
as
much
as
possible
to
help
raise
her
two
step-sons
,
Albert's
children
from a
previous
marriage
.

3
: This
large
collection
consists
of
ten
boxes
full

of
Jesus
Christ
of
Latter-day
Saints

missionary
work

polygamy

genealogy
