Mary Ann Angell Young - known to the Mormons as 'Mother Young'

After Brigham Young's first wife died, Mary Ann married Brigham Young on March 31, 1834.  She had six children with Brigham.  Mary Ann was a skilled herbalist and folk doctor.  During her trek across the plains to the Salt Lake Valley in 1848, she used these skills to treat many fellow pioneers. She also brought many seeds with her and is credited with planting the beautiful trees that grow along the eastern end of South Temple Street in Salt Lake City, which was once known as Brigham Street.
