Legacy of Faithfulness and Endurance Through Deafness and Hardship

Margaret Archibald Hendry was deaf for several years, yet she remained devoted to associating with her family and friends. Despite her affliction and the profound challenges of pioneering from Scotland to Utah—including loss of loved ones, poverty, and hardship—she maintained her faith and love of family. She died on January 21, 1919, during the flu epidemic. Her life exemplified steadfast faith through trials, unwavering devotion to family and the Church, and a spirit of charity and kindness. She lived 81 years, from March 20, 1838 to January 21, 1919, and left behind a legacy of faithfulness that inspired all who knew her. Her daughter wrote of her: 'Mother was never heard to murmur in regards to this' referring to their challenges, noting that she lived the principle that 'if lived rightly will prove a blessing.'
