Lucy May Green recounts her migration from Wellingboro, Northamptonshire, to Utah, twenty years prior to her letter.

In Their Own Words

“Twenty years ago, by the time this reaches you, I left my home in Wellingboro, Northamptonshire, for Zion. I was in my early twenties. I left father and mother and all my loved ones for the gospel's sake, and came over to Zion. Truly the promises of the Lord were fulfilled, and I found friends, and in due time, after four happy years, I married, and later welcomed one after another of my folks to Utah, until all of them were here. Truly, the Lord has blessed me abundantly, and I am trying to do a little good in His Church and kingdom. — Millennial Star 79:19”
