| Notes |
- Mary Flint was born on March 27, 1812, at Braintree, Orange County, Verm o nt. She was the youngest of six children born to Rufus Flint, a wealth y V ermont farmer, and Hannah Hawes. She was a very beautiful girl and wa s we ll-educated.
When Mary and her older sister, Hannah, had reached maturity, they wer e s ettled by their father on a large tract of farm land in Ohio. Shortl y the reafter, Mary met Anson Call, and the two were married on October 3 , 1833 . Anson was a very efficient and industrious manager, and the far m prospe red under his care.
Mormon missionaries often preached in the surrounding region. Anson atte m pted to refute their claims but succeeded instead in converting himsel f a nd also his wife and sister-in-law. When Mary and Hannah joined the C hurc h, their father, who had settled them on the valuable farm with th e inten tion of bequeathing it to them, disinherited them and ordered the m from h is property. They suddenly found themselves outcasts from a posi tion of w ealth to one of want. But they had faith in the words of Chris t (Matthe w 19:29): "And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren , or siste rs, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, fo r my name's s ake, shall receive an hundredfold and shall inherit everlas ting life."
Anson and Mary moved northward to Madison, Ohio, to make their new hom e . They were accompanied by Mary’s sister, Hannah, who shared their hom e u ntil she married Joseph Holbrook in 1843. The family later moved to K irtl and and then on to Missouri and Illinois with the main body of the S aints .
Six children were born to Anson and Mary: Anson Vasco, Mary Vashta, Cyr i l Moroni, Chester, Christopher, and Hyrum. Christopher, a twin of Chest er , was born dead. Two of the other children, Cyril Moroni and Hyrum, di e d in the summer of 1846 as the Saints were journeying westward from Nau vo o. The other three children grew to maturity and had large families. T h e eldest son, Anson Vasco, died at the early age of thirty-three, bu t h e still left a posterity of ten children by two different wives. Mar y Vas hta married Ira Curtis Parke and had twelve children, while Cheste r had t wenty-one children by three different wives. After the Saints mov ed wes t and the Call family was settled in Bountiful, Mary adopted and r aised a n Indian girl, Ruth Piede, whom Anson had bought from the Indian s in Fill more. Ruth married James Henry Davids.
Between 1851 and 1870, Anson took five additional wives, and Mary was of t en called upon to assist the others in raising their families. Among t h e other children she raised were Anson Bowen, a son of Anson’s second w if e, and Anson Vasco II and Mary Vashtia, two grandchildren whose parent s h ad both died young. When government laws on polygamy became severe, A nso n built a gable on his home with a secret passage to it. Mary place d quil ts and other provisions in the room for his comfort wile in hiding . Whe n officers would come to search the house for Anson–a common occurr ence–M ary would cheerfully and confidently invite them to search. Her pe rsuasiv e manner would soon convince them that Anson was nowhere to be fo und. The y never did find him.
Mary was known as an excellent cook and a good homemaker. She had a go o d business head and frequently helped to oversee her husband’s farm an d o ther affairs when he was called away on colonizing missions for the C hurc h. When Anson was home in the evenings, she would read to him the ne ws an d other matters of importance. On New Year’s Day, it was an establi shed c ustom for all of Anson’s families to gather at Mary’s home for din ner an d entertainment. After dinner, everyone would assemble in the bes t room , where Anson would give counsel to all. In 1870 Anson and Mary, a ccompan ied by Mary’s sister, Hannah Holbrook, took a trip on the newly-c onstruct ed Union Pacific Railroad to visit relatives and friends in Ohi o and Verm ont, Mary outlived her husband by eleven years. She died at Bo untiful, Ut ah, on October 8, 1901, at the age of eighty-eight years. Sh e was honore d and loved by all who knew her.
