Abstract
<p>
MSS
360
: This
collection
comes
from the
diaries
of
Elizabeth
Howard
and
three
of her
descendants
,
Katherine
A.
Brockbank
(Elizabeth's
daughter)
,
Libby
Howard
, and
Lucas
Howard
. There are
four
boxes
in this
collection
and
each
has
photocopies
of the
original
handwritten
journals
. The
journals
contain
autobiographical
information
as
well
as
some
financial
records
and
street
addresses
of
family
and
friends
.
Elizabeth's
journals
take
up
the
majority
of the
collection
-
about
three
boxes
. In these
diaries
she
discusses
the
details
of her
daily
routine
as
well
as the
health
of
family
and
friends
, her
social
visits
to
members
of the
community
, the
Relief
Society
, and the
Young
Ladies
Mutual
Improvement
Association
(Y.L.M.I.A.)
. She also
frequently
mentions
Eliza
R
.
Snow
, a
close
friend
, and
prominent
female
leader
in the
early
Church
.
Elizabeth's
journal
entries
are
often
brief
and
date
from
January
1
,
1868
to
March
4
,
1893
. At the
end
of
each
diary
there are
cash
accounts
that are
listed
by the
month
. In these
accounts
Elizabeth
lists
her
expenses
,
everything
she
bought
, the
cost
of
each
item
, and
when
she
received
money
. The
financial
accounts
vary
in their
detail
from
year
to
year
.
<p>
Katharine's
journals
comprise
some
of the
third
box
and
most
of the
fourth
. Her
diary
entries
date
from
January
1
,
1871
to
December
31
,
1922
-
although
there are not
entries
written
for
every
day
.
Katharine
was
born
April
28
,
1843
to
William
and
Elizabeth
(Anderson)
Howard
. She
later
married
Isaac
Brockbank
and
lived
in
polygamy
as
one
of his
plural
wives
.
Katharine
was an
excellent
seamstress
and was
occasionally
paid
for her
sewing
. She also
suffered
from
inflammatory
rheumatism
and
frequently
had
severe
headaches
.
Katharine's
journal
entries
are
often
emotionally
charged
as she
discusses
polygamy
and her
family
situation
and
relationships
. She also
talks
about
church
meetings
,
social
functions
and
visits
,
health
problems
, and
often
mentions
Brigham
Young
. Her
entries
are
short
but
very
honest
.
<p>
Libby
Howard
is
Elizabeth's
granddaughter
,
though
it
is
not
clear
who's
daughter
she
is
. The
diary
entries
date
from
January
1
to
November
10
,
1893
,
presumably
when
Libby
was in her
teenage
years
. In her
journal
she
mentions
going
to
school
,
participating
in a
singing
class
, and
assisting
her
mother
with
household
chores
. Her
journal
takes
up
one
folder
of this
collection
.
<p>
Lucas
Howard's
journal
entries
date
from
January1
to
December
31
,
1901
and also
take
up
one
folder
of the
collection
.
It
is
not
clear
what his
exact
relationship
is
to
Elizabeth
Howard
, but he
is
probably
one
of her
grandsons
. At the
time
he
is
keeping
the
journal
Lucas
is
married
and
living
in
Salt
Lake
City
. He
records
that he
is
5'10
½
tall
,
weighs
170
pounds
, and also that his
hat
size
is
7
1/8
.
Lucas
'
journal
gives
detailed
information
about
his
work
digging
ditches
and
working
on
dams
,
farming
chores
,
purchases
, and
expenses
. He also
mentions
the
weather
,
church
meetings
, and
trading
goods
with
other
men
.
