Notes - "Zina Diantha (Huntington, Jacobs) Young, born January 31, 1821, in Watertown, N.Y.; married, first, Henry Bailey, son of Henry Jacobs. He was born in 1817, in Niagara Falls, N.Y.; and died in Salt Lake City, Utah. She married, second, in April, 1841, in Nauvoo, Ill., Brigham Young. He was born June 1, 1801, at Whitingham, Vt., and was the son of John and Nabbie (Howe) Young. His career is well known, is a matter of history, and need not here be set forth. He died August 29, 1877, in Salt Lake City.
Mrs. Zina D.H. Young was a notable figure in Utah from the early pioneer days until her death.
Her efforts and work were of a manifold nature, and such as to advance the interests of the people and State. She did more than any other woman in Utah to establish sereculture as a local industry, and had personal charge of the large cocoonery established by President Young as a first venture in that line. In 1876 she was elected president of the local silk organization, and afterward traveled many times throughout Utah in its interests. In 1879 she visited the Sandwich Islands, and in the same year traveled over 1,000 miles in Utah by carriage conveyance, presiding over meetings. In 1881 she visited New York and Vermont and spoke in Sunday schools and temperance meetings throughout those States, attending also the Women's Congress at Buffalo, and the National Suffrage convention in New York. During this visit she assisted also in the organization of a branch of the Relief Society at Cohoes, New York. In the next year she was chosen president of the Deseret hospital and fulfilled its duties for twelve years. She was one of the band of Utah women who attended the Women's Congress at the World's Fair, and at the famous Sunday services held by the congress, was given a seat on the platform as representative among the fourteen women ministers of different denominations who conducted the meeting. At this time she also presided over a session of the Congress of Charities and Philanthropies, of which she was elected president. For more than thirty years she was connected prominently with Sunday school work, and as one of the earliest members of the Relief Society lent effective help in the work of that organization.
At the death of E.R. Snow, she was appointed to fill the former's place as president of the society. When in 1891 the local body became connected with the National Council of Women, Mrs. Young became vice-president of the great National organization. She died August 28, 1901." [7]
