Biography	Lucinda Haws Holdaway was born on October 20, 1828 in Fairfield, Wayne County, Illinois, to parents Gilbert Haws and Hannah Whitcomb. In 1843 Lucinda was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The family moved in 1847 from Illinois to Mt. Pisgah, Iowa for the winter. The family moved across the plains and arrived in Salt Lake City, Utah on September 23, 1848. On December 24, 1848 Lucinda married Shadrach Holdaway. Lucinda and Shadrach traveled back to the East to get supplies, but they caught cholera and almost died during the trek. Their first child was born on September 26, 1849, but died four months later. The family arrived back in the Salt Lake Valley in 1850. In November of 1850 Lucinda’s second child was born, but only lived a few moments. The next month she moved to Provo, Utah. A third child was born in December of 1851 and a fourth child in January of 1853. Shadrach married Lucinda’s sister as a polygamous marriage, Eliza Haws, in November of 1852. However, in 1854 her sister died leaving Lucinda with a newborn to raise. In 1856 and 1858 Lucinda had their sixth and seventh children. Lucinda had a total of fourteen children. In the spring of 1901 Lucinda had an operation to remove a tumor. Shadrach died on December 24, 1902. The manuscript ends on her seventy- ninth birthday. Lucinda died October 20, 1917.*
Abstract	This collection was written by her granddaughter, Etta H. Foulger, but told in the first person in a sixteen-page typescript. Lucinda describes the hardship suffered the first year living in the Salt Lake Valley. Lucinda struggled with her health her whole life, from cholera to several pregnancies. Lucinda and Shadrach lived almost destitute for the first part of their married lives. But with all of her challenges, Lucinda had a strong belief in God, saying, “I leave this as my testimony, that there is a God who answers prayer and who sanctifies the anointing of his servants.” Lucinda was also a Relief Society teacher for twenty years. *Information derived from Family Search
