40 Women of Faith in the Latter Days, 1775–1820 Myra’s tenure as Relief Society president in Panguitch continued. The minutes often mention the instructions given by “Mrs President” during early meetings in Panguitch. She suggested the sisters improve their time, faithfully attend their meetings, speak well (not evil) of each other, and be united and faithful. She counseled them to do all the good they could with the Spirit of the Lord dwelling within them, as they helped to build the Kingdom. She directed the sisters who went around teaching to go in favorable weather, and she said she hoped the young sisters who taught would become wise and good women. She asked them to contribute time and money to prepare clothing for a deceased brother and expressed worry and sadness about a woman who was ill and in need of aid. 21 Eventually, Mrs. President tried to resign with no success. On June 5, 1879, she finally received her release. She was nearly seventyseven years old, quite aged for her day. As Myra’s years multiplied and she and William remained apart, Myra longed to be assured that they would not be separated for eternity. Priesthood blessings gave her assurance, but she seemed to need William’s reassurance. On November 22, 1881, L. John Nuttall, secretary to the First Presidency, wrote in his journal: Sister Henrie called on Prest Taylor and expressed her desires for her husband and herself to become reconciled so they could go to the Temple & receive such ordinances as they are worthy. Br Henrie lives at Bountiful & they have been separated for some ten years—she would like to have private possession. The owner of Myra’s original letter transcribed the date as 1879. At present, only a poor photocopy of the original is available, and on it the date appears to be 1873, though that date is impossible because it puts the composition of the letter before the trip east. It seems unlikely that Myra would wait six years before writing her daughter about her journey. A more likely date is 1874. 21. This is a summary of minutes of Panguitch Ward Relief Society.
Myra Mayall Henrie (1803–1893) 41 Prest Taylor talk to him or have something done in this matter. 22 William died in Bountiful on December 18, 1883, having willed all his worldly goods to the Church, except for tokens to his “beloved” wife and children. Nearly ten years later, Myra died February 3, 1893. Throughout her long life, she endeavored to kindle living testimony within her posterity. At her funeral, all spoke “in praise of the Long, useful and exemplary life of Sister Henrie, and encouraging the numerous posterity of Sister Henrie to emulate her good example.” 23 Myra probably looked down and smiled. 22.
