Kimball and Vilate Murry Kimball. In 1832 the Kimball family joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) and moved to Kirtland, Ohio, becoming close associates of Joseph Smith, founder of the LDS Church. In 1835 Helen s father was ordained an Apostle in the LDS Church and throughout Helen s early life her father was away on church business or away serving as a missionary in various US states and in Europe. In 1838 the Kimball family moved to Missouri and shortly thereafter to Nauvoo, Illinois. <p>In 1841 Joseph Smith explained the principle of polygamy to the Kimball family and in 1842 Smith selected Helen s father s first polygamist wife, Sarah Noon. Heber C. Kimball was later married to a total of forty-four wives and had sixty-five children. Polygamy not only affected Helen s family, but Helen was also married to Joseph Smith when she was fourteen years old. Helen described her marriage to Smith as a  sudden shock of a small earthquake. However, their marriage was short-lived because Smith was killed in June 1844. <p>On February 3, 1846 Helen married Horace K. Whitney. Helen s marriage to Whitney was not arraigned, as had been her marriage to Smith, but was a love match. In the spring of 1846 Helen and her new husband traveled, along with fellow church members, across the plains toward the Utah Territory. Helen settled temporarily at Winter Quarters while Horace traveled to Utah with the first company of pioneers. In 1848 the couple settled in Salt Lake City. Over the course of Helen and Horace s marriage Helen bore eleven children, six of whom lived to adulthood. Their children were Orson Ferguson (1855), Elizabeth Ann (1857), Genevieve (1860), Helen Kimball (1862), Charles Spaulding (1864), and Florence Marian (1867). <p>In 1850 Heber C. Kimball advised Horace to take a second wife, which he did, marrying Lucy Amelia Boxham. However, Lucy died during childbirth in 1851. In 1856 Horace married another woman, Mary Cravath. <p>During the 1870s Helen began writing, with close friend Emmeline B. Wells, faith promoting articles about the LDS Church and about past experiences in Nauvoo, which appeared in the <i>Women s Exponent</i> and in the <i>Deseret News</i>. <p>Tragedy struck the family when Horace died in 1884, leaving Helen with many debts and no way to provide for her children. For the rest of Helen s life she struggled financially and with poor health. In 1890 she sold the family home and moved to a more  poor area of Salt Lake City and built a new house. She lived in this home until her death in November 1896. <p><b>Source</b>: Transcribed and edited by C.M. Hatch and T.M. Compton, <i>A Widow s Tale; The 1884-1869 Diary of Helen Mar Kimball Whitney</i>, USU Press, Logan Utah, 2003 (USU SC call # 920 W613). <h3>Provenance Note:</h3> The materials in this collection were donated to USU Special Collections in 1992 by W. Whitney Smith. <h3>Scope & Content Note:</h3> The Helen Mar Whitney family papers represent a significant contribution to the study of early Mormon history, overland travel, Salt Lake City social history and the development of the Arizona territory. The collection consists of over 100 letters dating from 1841 to 1900. Letters were penned from Nauvoo, Winter Quarters, the Mormon Trail, Salt Lake City, Mesa, Arizona, St. David, Arizona and other places. Diaries from family members chronicle the 1860s, 1880s, and 1890s. Due to Helen Mar Whitney's family ties, the authors of these documents were often members of the upper echelon of the Mormon Church, thus making the collections' content even more significant. Her husband also associated with important members of the LDS Church and is reflected in his journals and correspondence. <p>The central figure in the collection is Helen Mar Whitney. Her correspondence begins with a letter written from Winter Quarters addressed to Horace at the "Pioneers Camp" on the Mormon trail in June of 1847. Her last letters were received in the 1880s. The two largest sets of correspondence are with her husband Horace and her son Charles. <p>The letters to and from her husband mostly occurred between 1860-1861 and 1869-1870. The text is rich with information about events in Salt Lake City and the Utah area. The letters also allude to the relationship between Horace's plural wife, Mary Cravath, and Helen. Helen also carries on a lively correspondence with her youngest son Charles. Charles moved to the Arizona Territory in 1883 and stayed their through December of 1884. During this period Helen and Charles exchange letters on almost a monthly basis. <p>Finally, Helen Mar kept a daily diary from 1885-1896. These diaries are rich with the social and political affairs that affected her life. While these diaries were transcribed and published by Charles M. Hatch and Todd M. Compton in 2003 as <i>A Widow s Tale; The 1884-1869 Diary of Helen Mar Kimball Whitney</i>, Helen s correspondence and the other family documents in this collection were not included in this publication. <p>In addition to the Helen Mar Whitney material, the collection also contains a significant number of letters and diaries from Charles S. Whitney. Charles' correspondence from his two and 1/2 years in Arizona is enlightening. He moved from Mesa to St. David and his work carried him throughout the territory. His letters describe haying, freighting and logging, as well as local Mexican celebrations and the local Indian populations. <p>Charles also kept a daily diary from 1881-1884. The diary began in Salt Lake City and continued through his stay in Arizona. Charles was 17 when he penned his first entry. He described his life in Salt Lake City in the early 1880s. Entries include work, home life, night life and camping trips. <p>Of further importance are the letters and diaries of Horace K. Whitney. Horace wrote many letters to Helen. Two of these letters were written to her while he was traveling across the Mormon Trail in 1847. Horace also received one letter from his father, Newell K. Whitney during this overland journey. He also corresponded with his son Charles when the young man was in Arizona. Finally, the collection has four journals kept by Horace K. Whitney. Two of these journals are photocopies and two are original. The earliest journal is a photocopy of an account book kept between 1850-1852. This volume recorded events in the LDS Church printing office, and with Horace's work with William Clayton in the tithing office from 1851-1852. The other photocopy is of a Horace K. Whitney notebook, 14.5 cm x 18 cm that contains both a journal from 1869-1872 and financial entries from the same time. <p>Finally there is a short diary of Horace's trip to southern Utah in the spring of 1863. This diary meshes with a group of letters that Horace sent to Helen while on the tour. The last item is a memorandum book covering the years 1860-1861. <p>The other significant material in the collection belongs to Orson F. Whitney. Two handwritten reminiscences about his life and a number of letters make up this material. In addition letters written by Fanny Murray and Vilate Kimball in the 1840s are noteworthy. <h3>Processing & Conservation Note:</h3> This collection is unusual in that both outgoing and incoming correspondence exists, in original, for most of the Helen Mar Whitney letters. Because of the large block of letters to and from Helen it was decided to arrange this collection around her. These letters were arranged in alphabetical order for the outgoing material and in chronological order for the incoming. This arrangement was used for the Charles Whitney and Horace K. Whitney letters that did not involve Helen Mar, as well as the non-family correspondents. <p>Due to the size of some letters and their fragility they have been encapsulated and placed into an oversized Box, Box 4. The items have been listed in the finding aid both in their appropriate place and in Box 4. <p><b>Researcher Note:</b> Photographs from this collection have been separated and placed in <a href="../photoarchive/p0034.html"> PO034: The Whitney Smith Photograph Collection</a>. USU Special Collections & Archives also contains papers concerning the son of Helen Mar Kimball Whitney, arranged as <a href="collms167.html"> Coll Mss 167: The Orson F. Whitney Papers</a> and <a href="collms188.html">Coll Mss 188: The Orson F. Whitney Diaries</a>. USU also has an 1847 poem written by Emmeline B. Wells for Horace K. Whitney at Winter Quarters.
