"My mother, Emma Wright Dalley, was born in Hull, Yorkshire England, August 19, 1833." "When mother was fifteen, the family having joined the Latter-Day Saint Church some time before emigrated to America." She married James Dalley on 16 August 1850, "just three days before my mother's seventeenth birthday." "In the spring of 1852 they decided to go to Utah."

"Mother was never very strong. Her children coming so fast and the constant hardships she had to meet were taking their toll of her strength, but I never heard her speak a complaining word."
