Lucy Amelia Pack, b 24 June 1837, Kirtland, Geauga (Lake), Ohio, was the daughter of John and
Julia (Ives) Pack. Her father was one of the scouts that came into the Valley 22 July 1847, just ahead of
the original company of Pioneers to search out a place to make camp. He returned to Winter Quarters
that same year with Brigham Young and brought his family to the Valley in 1848.
The Bakers and Packs lived just across the street from each other in Salt Lake City, at the corners
of 1st North and West Temple Streets. Lucy Amelia Pack married first, in 1857, William Henry Kimball,
son of Heber Chase and Vilate (Murray) Kimball. To this union one child was born, Julia Aline Kimball, b

arose Lucy Amelia was divorced from her husband and later married, 10 July 1859, Joseph Baker, son of
Simon and Mercy (Young) Baker. They were married by President Brigham Young in his office and later,
22 February 1862, they were sealed again in the Endowment House. On the 14 August 1925 their son
Jesse Merritt Baker took his father to the Logan Temple and with his sister Julia Aline Wood standing for
his mother had himself and his brother, Joseph Lindon, sealed to their parents.
Lucy Amelia had a sweet lovable disposition, which brought all who knew her close around her,
she being a great favorite with the young people. She was a graceful dance and a sweet singer. Riding
horses was one of her favorite amusements. As a wife and mother she was dutiful and industrious. She
made her own and the children’s clothing, also her carpets and rugs, as well as straw hats and gloves for
the men working in the field. She understood and performed well the many tasks and duties of a
mother in Zion.
She was the mother of six sons and four daughters. Her first son, Joseph Lindon, was killed by a
snow plow on the Utah Northern Railroad, 10 January 1880, her 3rd son Simon Pack, was drowned in the
Snake River, leaving a wife and two children. Her two youngest sons died young, but all of the others
lived to be old and had families, leaving quite a posterity. Her daughter Julia Aline Kimball, md 8

Lucy Amelia was never well after she lost her little son Ward Eaton by death, 10 August 1873, at
seven months of age. She had another son, George Caleb, b 10 August 1874, which lived only two
hours. She passed away, 16 August 1874 at Mendon and was buried there. A young woman not yet
thirty-seven years of age, she was mourned by family and friend alike. During her short life she
endeared herself to all. Those who attended her during her illness bear record of her patience and
cheerfulness under all conditions. She left for her descendants an example of a strong noble character,
a true Latter-day Saint.
Her descendants number 278 persons (June 1961).
