Abstract
Mary's
short
1
½
page
typed
biography
is
included
in
Charles
Hopkin's
papers
written
by
Maryetta
Wenney
Williams
Slaughter
(granddaughter)
and
Ida
Williams
Robison
(great-granddaughter)
. There was also
information
gathered
from
other
relatives
including
Etta
Penney
Williams
Slaughter
(granddaughter)
.
Mary
was a
hard
worker
and a
faithful
Latter-day
Saint
.
When
she
joined
the
Church
in
England
, she was
disowned
by
all
of her
family
except
one
sister
named
Rose
.
Mary
was
very
faithful
to
Charles
Hopkin's
other
wife
,
Lydia
Okie
Van
Dyke
,
who
had
only
one
child
and was
very
helpful
to
Mary
with her
large
family
.
Brigham
Young
used
to
stop
at
Mary's
home
when
he
traveled
through
to
Cedar
City
, and
brought
her a
pound
of
sugar
during
one
visit
. She
didn't
know
what to
do
with
it
, and
only
used
1
teaspoon
for
medicine
.
It
was
still
in her
home
when
he
returned
a
year
later
. In
Hatton
, the
family
milked
25-30
head
of
cows
and
made
butter
and
cheese
.
Mary
made
the
week
long
trip
to
Salt
Lake
City
twice
a
year
to
trade
butter
,
cheese
, and
eggs
for
supplies
.
Mary
was not a
certified
teacher
but
taught
many
children
to
read
and
write
. Her
granddaughter
,
Mary
Etta
Penney
,
stayed
with her and
cared
for her as she
neared
the
end
of her
life
.
One
month
before
she
passed
away
, her
daughter
,
Ida
Oakie
Penney
,
moved
Mary
into her
home
and
cared
for her.
Included
are a
couple
of
lively
stories
about
her
relationship
with her
husband
, as
well
as her
wit
and will.
Mary
endured
many
hardships
and
overcame
many
trials
during
her
lifetime
.
