Mrs. Sarah M. Kimball, who, as President of the Fifteenth Ward Society,
sustained the honors of the above occasion, belonged to the original
Relief Society in Nauvoo. As elsewhere recorded, she also presided at
the grand mass-meeting of the sisters, in Salt Lake City, in 1870,
and has repeatedly appeared as a speaker of talent, and as a leader
among the women of Utah. Her favorite theme is female suffrage; but
she abounds with other progressive ideas, and is a lady of decided
character. Her history as a Mormon dates from the earliest rise of the
church.

Mrs. Mary I. Horne, frequently mentioned elsewhere, is the President
of the "General Retrenchment Society" of Salt Lake City. (It should be
explained that these are auxiliary to the relief societies, and are
more especially designed for the organization of the young ladies of
Utah.) She is also President of the Fourteenth Ward Relief Society,
where frequently the sisters hold something like general conventions of
the societies of the city. She may be said to rank, as an organizer,
next to President Eliza R. Snow.
--

societies, and leading officers in the more important movements of the
