Notes:

Anna Judith Duncan was a woman of great strength and faith. Anna was bo r n 21 November 1862, in a little house on the north west corner of Temp l e Square in Salt Lake City, Utah, a daughter of Elias August and Anna S op hia Hegglund Beckstrand. She was the first of six children born to thi s f amily, two of whom died in infancy .

Her parents had emigrated from Sweden to Salt Lake City. The family mov e d to and lived for a time at Deseret, Millard County. Here Anna's broth e r and sister, John August and Albertina, were born .

They then moved to Meadow (also in Millard County) where they were som e o f the early settlers. Her father, Elias, married a second wife in 186 9 an d so Anna Judith grew up in a polygamist family. Being the oldest i n th e family, she had plenty of dishes to wash and babies to tend. She a lso h elped with the chores on the farm and learned to work and make th e most o f her time. The family spoke the Swedish language in their home , but whe n the children started to attend school, Elias announced that t hey woul d now have to change and speak only the English language. He ha d a littl e difficulty mastering English and couldn't say "Judith" and s o he calle d her "Udith." This was shortened to "Udy" and that name she k ept through out her life. She was called "Aunt Udy" by practically everyo ne in Meadow .

On 7 May 1879, at the age of seventeen, she married James Duncan in th e S t. George Temple. James and Anna Judith moved into a small, three-bed roo m house in Meadow. They were the parents of eight children: Anna Jean nett e (1880), James Elias (1882-died at birth), Elmer (1884), James Alon zo (1 886), Flora (1891), Lois Emma (1894), Leah (1898) and Naomi (1901 ) .

When the first three children were very small, James was called to ser v e a two-year mission in Georgia leaving Udy with the full care of the f am ily. She raised a good garden and canned and dried fruits and vegetabl es . She also raised chickens, a few pigs and had several cows to milk wh ic h helped with the food for the family. She sold eggs for ten to twelv e ce nts a dozen and sent milk to the creamery which brought in a small c hec k each month. After his mission, James and several other men from Mea do w pursued the occupation of freighting through southern Utah and Nevad a . The trips sometimes lasted 5-6 weeks. In 1905 James was tragically ki ll ed on on of the trips.

Udy was left with six children to raise, ranging in age from ninetee n t o four years. The task of playing the role of both father and mothe r wa s not an easy one, but Udy did not shirk her responsibilities. Her d aught er, Anna, passed away (22 March 1916)) at the age of thirty-five. N ow, i n addition to caring for her own family, Udy helped to raise her tw o gran dsons, Herman and James Lynn.

Anna Judith was an active member of the church. She served as an offic e r in most of the auxiliary organizations. She was a teacher in Sunday S ch ool, Primary and was president of the Young Women's Mutual Improvemen t As sociation for fifteen years. She also served in the Relief Society p resid ency and was a member of the Stake Sunday School Board. For many ye ars sh e helped prepared the dead for burial. She also worked on the sewi ng comm ittee, helping to make the burial clothes. She was a very good se amstres s and took in sewing to help with the family expenses .

Udy raised her family strong in the LDS faith. Her seven living childr e n were all married in the temple. She sent her son, Alonzo, on a missi o n to England. She tried to teach her children to be thrifty, especiall y w ith their time. She knew the true meaning of work. She wanted her chi ldre n to appreciate the blessings they would receive when they learned t o giv e of themselves and help others. Anna Judith was an exceptionally g ood mo ther and grandmother. She was strict but kind .

During the last years of her life, she spent a great deal of her time do i ng temple work, primarily in the Manti Temple. She died on her seventy- se venth birthday, 21 November 1939, in Meadow, Utah.
