Woodmansee
Biography
Emily
Hill
Mills
Woodmansee
was
born
March
24
,
1836
in
Warminster
,
Wiltshire
,
England
to
Thomas
and
Elizabeth
(Slade)
Hill
.
When
Emily
was
12
years
old
she
heard
LDS
missionaries
preaching
the
gospel
in her
neighborhood
and
quickly
became
convinced
of the
truth
of their
words
.
Emily's
family
and
friends
were
less
than
thrilled
with her
enthusiasm
for the
Church
. She was
told
by her
father
that if she
joined
the
Church
she would not be
welcome
in their
home
.
Despite
this
opposition
Emily
was
baptized
when
she was
20
years
old
and
immediately
left
for the
United
States
with her
older
sister
,
Julia
,
who
had also
converted
.
Upon
their
arrival
in
America
,
Emily
and
Julia
traveled
from
New
York
to
Iowa
where
they
joined
a
handcart
company
to
make
the
Mormon
trek
west
to
Utah
. Their
company
experienced
many
difficult
trials
and
may
not have
made
it
to
Utah
except
for the
timely
rescuers
sent
from
Salt
Lake
City
by
Brigham
Young
. In
Utah
Emily
entered
into the
covenant
of
plural
marriage
when
she
wed
William
Gill
Mills
on
June
14
,
1857
in
Salt
Lake
City
. The
couple
had
one
child
before
William
left
on a
mission
for the
Church
.
After
he had been
gone
for
three
years
Emily
received
a
message
from
William
stating
that he would not be
returning
to
Utah
and
severing
their
relationship
.
Following
this
difficult
trial
Emily
married
Joseph
Woodmansee
on
May
7
,
1864
in
Salt
Lake
City
and
bore
him
eight
children
.
When
Joseph
experienced
financial
difficulties
due
to
incorrect
mining
speculations
Emily
began
working
in the
real
estate
industry
,
where
she
became
quite
successful
.
Because
of her
talent
in
business
Emily
was
appointed
Treasurer
of the
Woman's
Cooperative
Store
-
a
position
she
held
for
over
ten
years
.
Emily
was also
well-known
for her
abilities
as a
poet
.
Many
of her
poems
were
published
in
various
magazines
and
journals
,
such
as The
Contributor
and
Parry's
Literary
Journal
. In
October
1899
she was
awarded
the
gold
medal
for the
Sunday
School
Jubilee
Poem
.
Emily
died
on
October
19
,
1906
in
Salt
Lake
City
,
Utah
.

: This
item
is
a
short
book
of
notes
written
by
Hannah
Sorensen
,
teacher
of the
Woman's
Hygienic
Reform
Classes
. The
notes
were
written
and
printed
because
there was not a
textbook
available
for the
class
and
because
Hannah
thought
the
notes
would
help
her
students
learn
and
remember
what they were
taught
. There are
about
80
pages
of
notes
which
discuss
feminine
hygiene
,
pregnancy
, and
midwifery
skills
. On the
last
page
of the
book
is
a
poem
written
by
Emily
Hill
Woodmansee
titled
, The
Daughters
of
Zion
, the
Friends
of the
Poor
.
