Mary Susannah Sumner Fackrell Fowler, 1862-1920, lived in the village of Orderville, Utah which was named for the Mormon communitarian system practiced there. She married Henry Ammon Fowler in 1880 and moved in 1888 to Huntington, Utah. They had eight children, and Henry took a second wife, becoming a polygamist. Mary was not well known outside her community, but she led a remarkable life of selfless service.

About the Author:

Margaret K. Brady is a folklorist and brings to this reconstruction an eclectic, interdisciplinary approach. Drawing on relexive ethnography, Brady emphasizes her own involvement with her subject and with the multilpe discourses that, in combination, give her access to Mary Fowler's identity.
