Biddlecome, Mary Davis Reid: Faithful Pioneer Mother (1850s)

Mary Davis Reid Biddlecome was a woman of profound faith who joined the Church in its early years and journeyed to the Salt Lake Valley in 1852. Despite the rigors of the trail and the loss of loved ones, she remained a steadfast witness of the gospel's truth throughout her life. Her journey in the Henry W. Miller Company was marked by quiet service and the rearing of a faithful posterity in the Utah territory. She often spoke of the Lord's hand in guiding her family through the wilderness to a land of peace and religious freedom.
