  • Notes 
    • Lucy had been closely associated with Grant essentially from her birth , a nd they attended Mary Cook's school together. Like Grant, she was a m embe r of the 13th Ward. It was not until Grant broke off his courtship w ith E mily H. Wells (see below) that he started actively courting Lucy. L ucy wa s, however, initially reticent to fully accept Grant's advances, s eeing h erself as just a temporary replacement for Emily, but after he re gularl y walked her home from church services for several weeks without b eing in vited into the Stringham home, she gave up and invited him in. Th ey marri ed only a few months later. For a time Lucy was a school teacher .

      Grant felt very close to Lucy. On an early assignment as a member of t h e Quorum of the Twelve in Arizona, he surprised his traveling companio n , Brigham Young, Jr., with how many letters he wrote to Lucy.

      Lucy and Grant would become the parents of six children. He praised he r " business foresight and judgment" and credited her with much of his bu sine ss success. She died in 1893, after a long illness during which he g ave c onstant, tender devotion to her, as he had throughout their marriag e.
