Photocopy of a microfilm copy of a typewritten manuscript. The item is a biography of Mary Emma Lowder Webb, who was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, in 1863. Her family moved to Parowan, Utah, in 1863 and then to Panguitch, Utah, in 1864. The family moved to Paragoonah, Utah, in 1866 because of the Black Hawk War with Ute Indians. At the end of hostilities, the family returned to Parowan. Most of the account is told in the words of Mary Emma Lowder Webb which was probably edited by Luella Dalton. Mary tells about her education in Parowan and the social life in that town. She talks about meeting her future husband, Abraham Owen Webb, and their wedding on 24 March 1882. After the couple had six children, they moved to Cedar City, Utah, to be closer to schools. Abraham and Mary later moved to Delta, Eureka, and Provo, Utah. She also tells about the deaths of her children, her service to the Mormon Church, and her belief in prayer.
