- Obituary:
Funeral services for Catherine Curtis Spencer Young, familiarly know n a s “Aunt Katie,” were held Wednesday (Feb 22) in the Eighteenth Ward c hape l. The opening prayer was offered by Harry Sheppard. A quartet compo sed o f George Pyper, Kent Cobb, W. Patten, and John D. Spencer, san g “ I Nee d Thee Every Hour.” After President Wallace of Ensign Stake ha d spoke n a song was rendered by Kent Cobb, accompanied by Miss Dolly Woo dbury. P resident Anthony W. Ivins and Bishop Clawson were the speakers . A quarte t sang and Frank Snow closed the meeting with prayer. The grav e was dedic ated by Earn T. Stevens.
Of pioneer New England stock, Mrs. Young was born in Middlefield, Hampsh i re County, Mass., Oct. 2, 1836. Her parents were the late Orson Spence r a nd Catherine Curtis Spencer who died along the road from hardships en dure d in fleeing from the persecution and trials. Catherine Curtis Spenc er ga ve up a life of luxurious comfort to follow the wanderings and pilg rimage s of the early Saints. Six children of whom the late Mrs. Ellen Cl awson , called Little Mother, and Mrs. Aurelia S. Rogers of Farmington, w hose w ork among the children of several generations is well known, an d a brothe r George, now living at Paris, Idaho, were left to complete th e dreary jo urney across the plains, their father being called and havin g gone upo n a mission to Europe. ‘Aunt Katie’ was the third daughter.
Howard Spencer, who later established the United Order of Southern Uta h , and died at the age of eighty, one of the south’s leading figures, dr ov e an ox team while the “Little Mother,” with the help of fellow travel er s directed and cared for the other five.
“Aunt Katie” Young grew up in Salt Lake Valley and lived to see this ci t y grow up from a village of log and mud huts to the metropolis of today .
At 15 she was married to the late Elder Brigham Young Jr., who died in 1 9 03. They were the parents of eleven children, two of whom, Eugene How e Yo ung and Katherine Young Brastow, preceded her in death.
Her charity, sincerity of disposition and beautiful countenance were a n i nspiration to her family and friends; as one of her daughters has oft en r emarked, “I never saw mother angry or in a hurry.” Old pioneers wil l reme mber her as one of the most graceful dancers, and beautiful and vi rtuou s all her days. To know Aunt Katie was to love her.
