Snow"},"content":{"rendered":"

Our beloved Eliza R. Snow was so instrumental to the women of the church in this last dispensation, it is hard to condense her history.\u00a0 I encourage you to read her poems, her hymns, and her writings.<\/span><\/p>\n

Eliza Roxey Snow was born in Massachusetts on January 21, 1804.\u00a0 At the age of two, her family moved near Kirtland, Ohio where they heard Sidney Rigdon preach as a Campbellite.\u00a0 Much of her family followed Sidney when he <\/span>joined\u00a0<\/span><\/span>and was baptized, into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.\u00a0 Eliza was not baptized until four years later, in 1835.\u00a0 \u201cI had to battle very strongly with the powers of darkness \u2026finally commanding Satan to depart from me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Her younger brother, Lorenzo, became disillusioned with his religious studies and joined Eliza in Kirtland.\u00a0 There he met Joseph, accepted the gospel, and was baptized, being the last member of the Snow family to join the church.\u00a0 Later, he became the fifth prophet of this last dispensation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Eliza went with the Saints to Missouri and was forced out during the expulsion.\u00a0 Her family lost everything they owned and the hardship would take its toll on her parents.\u00a0 They moved on to Nauvoo, staying happily for seven years, only to be forced out and relocate again.<\/span><\/p>\n

Eliza was sealed to Joseph Smith in 1842. \u00a0Joseph was martyred in June of 1844.\u00a0 In October of that year, she became a plural wife to Brigham Young; this being a marriage of convenience and security.\u00a0 She would live in the Lion House, as soon as it was completed, the remainder of her life.\u00a0 Eliza would take the name of Smith in her later years.\u00a0\u00a0She had no children of her own.<\/span><\/p>\n

While called by Brigham Young,\u00a0in 1866-68, to take charge of the women, organizing them, training bishops to set up Relief Societies in the territorial wards, and encouraging women to stay firm in the gospel, Eliza was not officially sustained as the 2nd Relief Society president until after Emma Smith’s death in 1879.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On December 5, 1887, Eliza passed away just short of her eighty-fourth birthday.\u00a0 She is buried next to Brigham Young.<\/span><\/p>\n

Following is what she is remembered for:<\/span><\/p>\n

Eliza showed intelligence at a young age.\u00a0 She helped her father as he worked in public offices.\u00a0 And she was always reading and writing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Loved elegant and feminine clothing.\u00a0 She would put extra yards of material into her dresses and trim them elaborately.\u00a0 She was an expert seamstress, and did needlework and straw braiding.\u00a0 Emmeline said she was fully trained in all the domestic housekeeping necessities of life.<\/span><\/p>\n

Was asked by an Ohio newspaper to write a requiem upon the deaths of Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, which was published widely.\u00a0 She was twenty-one years of age and publishing her work for the first time.<\/span><\/p>\n

Taught school to Joseph Smith\u2019s children in Ohio and in Nauvoo.<\/span><\/p>\n

Eliza was a natural born leader and many of the women looked to her for spiritual strength and direction.<\/span><\/p>\n

While living in the Lion House, she always sat to the right of Brigham Young at the dinner table and at family prayer.\u00a0 She was in essence \u201chis right hand man\u201d, for he consulted with her over almost everything.<\/span><\/p>\n

Traveling to all of the settlements throughout Utah, Eliza convinced the Bishops to organize a Relief Society in each area, thereby organizing the women and training them by the notes she carried in the Minute Book.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was Eliza\u2019s idea to collect handmade items and sell them to provide income.\u00a0 This began the Woman\u2019s Cooperative Association.\u00a0 She worked in the store herself from 8-6 most days.\u00a0 Pres. Young admitted he had been trying to get the men to organize a store of some kind and they couldn\u2019t do it.<\/span><\/p>\n

She organized notes, then edited the book, \u201cThe Women of Mormondom\u201d, by E. W. Tullidge.\u00a0 This was a huge undertaking, done while she was completing other important responsibilities.<\/span><\/p>\n

Served as the matron of the Salt Lake Endowment House while serving as the General RS President, Counselor of the Retrenchment Association, and all the other activities she was heavily involved in.<\/span><\/p>\n

Eliza was called as the Secretary of the Female Relief Society in Nauvoo.\u00a0 She kept minutes of those meetings, carefully recording the inspired revelations Joseph Smith spoke on the purposes and destiny of this women\u2019s organization.\u00a0 She would bring those minutes with her to Salt Lake, using them to organize and train all of the women into Relief Societies, in Utah.\u00a0 She was the unofficial president for many years, finally being called and sustained to that position in 1880.\u00a0 As Relief Society President, she traveled across Utah several times visiting the sisters.\u00a0 Old age never stopped her.<\/span><\/p>\n

Became quite ill when the Saints were being expelled from Nauvoo, because of stress, weather, etc.\u00a0 For the next several years, Eliza lay in bed, weak, and not able to function fully. \u00a0 In Salt Lake City, Brigham Young approached her about organizing the women she felt. She couldn’t do it, but Brigham Young blessed her that her health would improve with the call.\u00a0 She said, \u201cTo be able to do Father\u2019s will is what I wish to live for.\u201d\u00a0 Her health returned.<\/span><\/p>\n

The women wanted fancier fabric and clothing items.\u00a0 It was expensive to order and ship from the east, so\u00a0 Brigham Young decided to buy silkworms and let the women raise, spin, weave, and sew their own silk items.\u00a0 Eliza was one of the most earnest workers in this silk-industry project.\u00a0 She was also the one to arrange the women to go back east for medical school.<\/span><\/p>\n

Eliza traveled all over Utah to promote women\u2019s right to vote and women\u2019s suffrage.\u00a0 Many mass meetings were held where she would preside and speak in outrage of the treatment of women and what they must do to move forward.<\/span><\/p>\n

While visiting sisters in Farmington, Eliza met Aurelia Spencer Rogers, who asked about organizing the children.\u00a0 This sparked the idea for a Primary Association to be established.\u00a0 Eliza selected the songs for the first Primary Hymn Book.<\/span><\/p>\n

Brigham Young wanted the women to be less worldly and extravagant, so he organized a Retrenchment Association for the women.\u00a0 To keep his daughters in check, Brigham Young asked Eliza to organize a Junior Retrenchment (which would become the Young Women\u2019s Organization).\u00a0 While speaking in Delta, Utah, Eliza requested the young men to join the young women at a meeting held there.\u00a0 In that meeting, she suggested the young men organize themselves, \u201clest the young women leave you behind.\u201d \u00a0Thus, the Young Men\u2019s Organization was established.<\/span><\/p>\n

At age 68, Eliza traveled to Europe, being the only female, with some of the church authorities, including her brother, Lorenzo.\u00a0 They met with many leaders of nations; however, Eliza, being a woman, was excluded from these meetings.\u00a0 They traveled to the Holy Land, which was of course a highlight of the trip, ever to be remembered.\u00a0 Eliza traveled by boat, train, carriage, horseback, and foot; slept in tents; and wrote and published a book about the adventure, called, \u201cThe Correspondence of the Palestine Tourists\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

While traveling to organize additional Primaries, Eliza experienced her, \u201cfamous ride\u201d, where the driver of the carriage got lost and rode on untraveled ground, which proved to be quite bumpy, causing the passengers to fall out of their seats.\u00a0 Eliza was seventy-five years old at the time.\u00a0 This ride was always remembered with much laughter.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In Emmeline\u2019s biography of Eliza, she writes, \u201cSister Eliza is never idle; she is always employed in some labor for the benefit of Zion.\u00a0 Her voice has been heard bearing testimony to the truth and instructing the people in almost every ward and settlement in Israel, and in many places in foreign lands; her books are in nearly every home of the Saints, and her songs are sung in every land where the Gospel has found its way.\u00a0 Thousands have been blessed under her hands in the House of the Lord, and in holy temples.\u00a0 She is brave, strong and unflinching in her spirit.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Eliza was described as dignified, reserved, powerful and able. She had superior intelligence, wisdom, vision, and leadership.\u00a0 Brigham Young called her a Priestess, Prophetess, and Presidentess, by which she was known to all.<\/span><\/p>\n
