Snow, Eliza Roxcy

LDS. American, 1804–1887. At age twenty-one she had already received recognition as a poet: she had won a prize for a poem on the deaths of Adams and Jefferson. She was baptized a Latter-day Saint in 1835 and helped convert her brother, Lorenzo Snow, who became the fifth President of the Church. She taught school in Kirtland and Nauvoo. She was a key administrative figure in the early history of the Church: she was the first secretary and second General President of the Relief Society, and she also helped organize the Mutual Improvement Association and the Primary.
