viii Introduction to the Series punctuation and capitalized the first words of sentences, using our best interpretive judgment to discern the writer’s intentions. We have also altered capitalization when failure to do so might prove distracting to readers. We have included chapters written by a range of authors, from well-established scholars to beginning writers. Some chapters adopt a scholarly approach, often quoting the subject woman’s own words at length. Others follow a more popular approach, avoiding long quotations from the subject and replacing them with the author’s own prose. Some of the subject women left few or no writings behind, making it difficult or impossible to quote them. Our goal has been to feature a diverse group of women, both those well known to readers and those who lived lives of faith in comparative anonymity. We hope both scholarly and popular audiences will find value in these volumes. Our intent in producing them is to plant seeds for future work. If our series leads to better scholarly and popular works, we will feel rewarded for our efforts. We invite you to join with us in celebrating the many Latterday Saint women whose lives should be an inspiration to readers in the present generation and in generations to come. We hope these volumes will prompt readers to write about their own lives and will lead to longer works about past and present women of faith in the latter days.
Chapter Thirty-Six “Rejoice Notwithstanding the Trials” Diantha Morley Billings (1795–1879) Catherine Wheelwright Ockey Biographical Sketch Diantha Morley was just shy of her twentieth birthday when she first set foot on Ohio sod with her parents, Thomas and Editha Marsh Morley, and some of her siblings. Born in the township of Montague, Franklin County, Massachusetts, on August 23, 1795, Diantha was the seventh of nine children. Her older brother Isaac and his wife, Lucy, had previously established a farm near the rural village of Kirtland, Ohio. Here Diantha met and married Titus Billings; they both became members of Sidney Rigdon’s Reformed Baptist congregation. 1 In November 1830, Diantha and Titus, with Isaac and Lucy Morley and many others in Rigdon’s congregation, heard of and 1.
