Lucy was seventeen when she married Brigham, who forthwith left for the Valley, while Lucy went to St. Louis to work, since, they were still in Winter Quarters, she had nothing else to do. Brigham was quite unhappy when he learned this! One of the remarkable things about Lucy was her sweet temperament strengthened by her spiritual insights. She determined that if she was going to be happy in these circumstances, with all these people and wives, she would have to make herself useful - which she did. Susa was Brigham Young's 41st child. Susa was a poet, a writer, and even a composer. At thirteen she entered the University of Deseret and edited a student newspaper. She learned shorthand and actually recorded the St. George Temple dedication. She founded the Relief Society Magazine and the Young Woman's Journal, which was a remarkable, intimate, but amazingly eclectic publication. Both of these women were instrumental in the early years of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Their stories are remarkable and faith building.
