Biography
Mary
Ann
Hoopes
Yearsley
was the
second
child
born
to
George
and
Albina
Woodward
Hoopes
on
8
January
1811
in
Chester
County
,
Pennsylvania
. Her
family
belonged
to the
Society
of
Friends
, or
Shakers
, and
lived
the
principles
of
honesty
,
industry
, and
frugality
.
Mary
Ann
was
married
on
11
September
1830
to
David
Dutton
Yearsley
, a
man
five
years
her
senior
,
who
had
recently
received
a
comfortable
fortune
and
prosperous
business
from his
father's
estate
.
Soon
after
their
marriage
,
Mary
Ann
and her
husband
received
a
nine
year
old
orphan
boy
into their
home
,
whom
they
raised
carefully
.
About
10
years
later
, they were
visited
by
missionaries
from The
Church
of
Jesus
Christ
of
Latter-day
Saints
.
Mary
Ann
and her
husband
traveled
to
Nauvoo
to
research
the
church
,
where
they
met
the
Prophet
,
Joseph
Smith
. They
became
so
convinced
of the
church's
truth
that they
sold
their
land
in
Pennsylvania
and
moved
to
Nauvoo
,
Illinois
.
Soon
after
their
arrival
in
1841
,
Joseph
Smith
told
them that the
Lord
wanted
him to
form
a
stock
company
at
$1.00
per
share
and
build
a
Nauvoo
House
.
Mary
Ann
and her
husband
quickly
bought
$3,000.00
shares
. Her
husband
also
rented
and
managed
the
Red
Brick
Store
for the
Prophet
. In
1846
,
mobs
drove
Mary
Ann's
family
out
of
Nauvoo
and they were
forced
to
leave
their
home
and
store
and
follow
the
Saints
to
Winter
Quarters
. From there, they
moved
to
other
places
for
short
intervals
until
they
settled
at
Rocky
Ford
. In
1849
,
Mary
Ann's
husband
died
and she was
left
to
care
for
eight
children
.
Before
she
left
Rocky
Ford
,
Mary
Ann
received
a
portion
of her
father's
estate
in
Pennsylvania
,
which
helped
provide
many
families
with
money
to
make
the
trek
to
Salt
Lake
City
. In
1850
,
Mary
Ann
reached
Salt
Lake
City
and
settled
in
Weber
.
Two
years
later
, she
moved
to
North
Willow
Creek
.
While
there,
Mary
Ann
married
Albert
Allen
on
29
February
1852
. They had
one
daughter
.
After
his
death
,
Mary
Ann
moved
to
Ogden
until
she
died
on
22
November
1903
.
Abstract
<p>
This
collection
contains
of a
biography
compiled
in
1914
by
Mary
Ann's
grandson
,
J.D
.
Cummings
, a
photograph
of
Mary
Ann
,
correspondence
from
LeGrande
L
.
Baker
requesting
biographical
information
about
D.D
.
Yearsley
, a
certificate
of
baptism
for
D.D
.
Yearsley
on
4
October
1844
, and a
diary
handwritten
by
Mary
Ann
in
1872
. The
diary
consists
of
daily
entries
about
the
weather
,
friends
,
relatives
, and
events
from
1
January
1872
to the
26
of
June
. The
handwriting
is
very
difficult
to
read
. The
brief
biography
chronicles
Mary
Ann's
life
and
provides
a
few
supplemental
stories
from her
life
.
Mary
Ann
was
very
patriotic
. At the
age
of
15
, she was
proud
to have the
opportunity
to
wait
on the
table
of
Lafayette
, the
general
in the
Revolutionary
War
.
<p>
Membership
in the
L.D.S
.
Church
also
brought
Mary
Ann
unique
experiences
.
After
she was
baptized
by
Joseph
Smith
in the
Mississippi
River
, he
swam
out
into the
river
a
short
distance
. This
greatly
surprised
Mary
Ann
,
who
thought
Prophets
should be
less
rambunctious
.
Mary
Ann
was also
able
to be
present
at the
organization
of the
first
Relief
Society
meeting
.
Maintaining
an
intimate
relationship
with
Joseph
Smith
,
Mary
Ann
and her
husband
often
gave
their
money
to the
Prophet
without
expectation
of
it
being
repaid
.
Once
,
Joseph
Smith
asked
her
husband
to
provide
the
Nauvoo
Legion
with
shoes
and
boots
from the
store
,
promising
that the
bill
would
somehow
be
paid
.
Mary
Ann
remained
faithful
to the
church
until
her
death
.
