Bean, Olive Smoot.

Margaret Thompson McMeans Atkinson Smoot (known as "Ma" Smoot) was born in Chester, South Carolina, on April 16, 1809. She was already a widow with one son when she married Abraham Owen Smoot in Missouri in 1838. When members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints were expelled from Missouri, the Smoots lived for a time in Iowa before eventually settling in Provo, Utah. In Utah, Abraham Smoot became the second mayor of Salt Lake City and was a supporter of the Brigham Young Academy (Brigham Young University). Margaret Smoot died in Provo on September 1, 1884.
