(Research):An Ann Arbor Medical Student
Our Pioneer Heritage, Vol. 6, p.404
Julia Anna Ivins was born in Salt Lake City, December 2, 1859, a daughter of Israel Ivins and Julia Hill. Her life in Salt Lake City was very brief for two years later her father was called to take his family to the cotton mission about three hundred miles to the south. The group of stalwart, dependable pioneers was called by President Young at the close of the October Conference in 1861. As the weather was getting colder they were asked to leave within a month for their destination, which meant that the days ahead were busy ones. Wagons had to be repaired or built, oxen and horses made ready for the trip, and food enough to last a year loaded into the wagons. Bedding and clothing for the family were secured for there would be no near source of supply in this new home.
Our Pioneer Heritage, Vol. 6, p.404
Israel Ivins was trained as a doctor and gave freely of his services when sickness struck his fellow travelers, or his neighbors when they made their new home. But doctoring the aches and pains was not his only business in St. George, where he arrived with his family early in December of 1861. He was chosen a member of the new High Council which served as ecclesiastical as well as a civic group to administer all rules and regulations needed to get the community off to a good start. Dr. Ivins did much towards surveying the permanent townsite located in the northwestern section of the valley.
Our Pioneer Heritage, Vol. 6, p.405
The Ivins lot was located on the corner of First West and Second North, and there he erected a comfortable home for his family. Julia was the daughter of a polygamous wife, but in the Ivins family all were treated as one happy family. The grounds of the family home were soon beautified with extensive lawns, flowers, and trees. As a young girl, Julia was interested in all that went into the building and beautifying of her home in the west. With her special talents she added much of lasting importance. From [p.405] her early childhood she excelled in the literary field and in her teens began making modest contributions to magazines.
Our Pioneer Heritage, Vol. 6, p.405
On the 12th of December, 1881, Julia became the wife of Aaron McDonald, a tall handsome young son of Alex Findlay McDonald who had moved his family to St. George to aid in the construction of the L.D.S. Temple. The young couple lived for a short time at Middleton and Silver Reef but returned to St. George and then went to Arizona. One son, Clare was born to this couple and they settled in Mesa, Arizona. But sorrow overtook them for on July 5, 1884, Julia wrote in her journal: "Aaron died today of congestion of the brain, caused by a fall from a wagon while taking the mail to Phoenix. He was sick only four hours. God help me to bear this heavy burden." And on Sunday, July 6th, she wrote, "Aaron was buried today from the schoolhouse about 10 a.m. My heart feels like bursting, but I cannot shed a tear."
Heart Throbs of the West, Kate B. Carter, Vol.4, p.223
New Jersey. Under date of July 30, 1842, Elder Lorenzo D. Wasson, writing to his aunt and uncle, Joseph and Emma Smith, from Philadelphia, stated that he had been laboring for four weeks in the southern part of New Jersey, accompanied by Elder Israel Ivins, they being the first missionaries to proclaim the Gospel in that region of country. He desired to have correspondence addressed to him at Toms River, New Jersey.
Julia and Emily
Treasures of Pioneer History, Vol.6, p.37
In the summer of 1849, two merry-hearted girls might often be seen wending their way along the green lanes of England from their home in Warmister to Chalford, six miles away. The "Mormon" alders were preaching a new religion at the latter place. In spite of the opposition of their parents who were strict adherents to the Wesleyan faith, these girls, Emily and Julia Hill, were determined to hear all about this new faith at any cost.
Treasures of Pioneer History, Vol.6, p.37
Julia was born January 15, 1833, and Emily was born March 24, 1836, but the message had come to Emily first. Both girls were deeply religious, searching the Scriptures together and each yearning in her hungry soul for the fulfillment of the promise of the return of the everlasting Gospel as Jesus had taught it. When but twelve years of age, Emily had been permitted by her parents to go with her cousin Miriam Slade to hear the "Mormon" elders preach. To the surprise and dismay of her family she boldly announced upon her return her belief in the doctrine taught, and her determination to be baptized when of age.
Treasures of Pioneer History, Vol.6, p.37
Opposition surrounded her on every side, Julia being her only comfort and advisor. To her Emily confided and explained as best she could these wonderful "new truths." It was at this time Elder John Halliday visited their locality, and both girls, by stealth, managed to attend private cottage meetings. Upon hearing his humble but impressive testimony, Julia exclaimed, "If ever there was a man of God, he is one, and I shall be a Latter-day Saint." It was at this time that Elder Halliday gave Emily a blessing, promising her that she should write both prose and poetry, comforting the hearts of thousands.
Treasures of Pioneer History, Vol.6, p.37
Soon after this Julia became apprenticed as a milliner at Northampton, and after much persuasion the parents consented for Emily to join her sister. Together they searched for and found the branch [p.38]of the Church which had been established there in the early 40’s; they attended the sacrament meetings, and paid into the Church fund regularly from their scanty earnings.
Treasures of Pioneer History, Vol.6, p.38
In March, 1852, both girls were baptized, Emily being but sixteen and Julia nineteen. Though young to decide for themselves in such an important step, the girls were amply able to conduct their lives with decorum having left a home of culture and refinement, where faith in God and purity of life had always been taught. Four long years must elapse ere they could earn enough to come with other saints to America.
Treasures of Pioneer History, Vol.6, p.38
In May, 1856—always memorable to them—without even the privilege of an adieu to family and friends, since these were still bitterly opposed to their course, the girls set sail on the ship Thornton, with Elder James G. Willie in charge of the Saints who accompanied them. From New York they went by rail to Iowa City, where was organized the famous handcart company over which Elder Willie was made captain.
Treasures of Pioneer History, Vol.6, p.38
Emily says in her memoirs that Julia, who was never very strong "gave out," and was forced to ride part of the way in the little cart drawn by loving friends, who "took turns." But Emily, who always manifested an indomitable will, expressed her determination to "walk all the way," which she did. When cold weather came, with severe snow storms and scarcity of food, the girls nearly perished with hunger and cold But they pushed on, singing with others each day that cheering song, "Come, come, ye Saints," upheld and sustained by the power which had given them a testimony that Joseph Smith was a Prophet of God.
Treasures of Pioneer History, Vol.6, p.38
Among those sent from Utah for the relief of these sufferers were Israel Ivins and W. G. Mills. Both girls must have admired these sturdy pioneers on sight, as they married them soon after entering the valley. With all the trials incident to the early days in Utah, Julia’s marriage to Israel Ivins proved a very happy one. She often said she married her husband because of falling in love with his first—"Aunt Anna," as she was always lovingly called, who was the mother of President Anthony W. Ivins. They were married February 12, 1857.
Treasures of Pioneer History, Vol.6, p.38
In 1861, Julia with her husband and family, went south, in answer to the call of President Brigham Young to assist in the settlement of what was known as Utah’s Dixie. They traveled in an old prairie schooner making the road as they journeyed each day, to meet the formidable sight of sunflowers and sagebrush upon arrival. Theirs was the third wagon to "set camp" at St. George. those who endured the trials of the call have language adequate describe it. But Julia was brave and cheerful, as usual. She bore husband eight children, four of whom died in infancy.
Treasures of Pioneer History, Vol.6, p.38
Emily’s choice in marriage was not such a happy one. After the birth of their only child, W. G. Mills went on a mission to England.
Treasures of Pioneer History, Vol.6, p.38
[p.39]After four years of absence, during which Emily could scarcely keep starvation from her door, he sent word that he would never return, proving untrue to the faith. In May 1864, she married Joseph Woodmansee, by whom she had eight children. Her life was full of trial, but she was always hopeful, her cheery smile impressing all her associates and friends. Her fearlessness and undaunted faith in God’s goodness are manifest in all her poems and songs.—Carol Ivins Corbett
