LIFE SKETCH OF MARY ANN DURHAM
Bayles, Mary Ann Durham, wife of Hanson Bayles, was born Dec. 6, 1861, at Paragonah, Iron county, Utah, the daughter of Thomas and Mary Durham. From her early youth she was raised and tutored as one of the faithful daughters of Zion and became the wife of Hanson Bayles Nov. 3, 1880.
Accompanying her husband to the San Juan country in 1880 she became a veritable pioneer of that place and took part in all the hardships incident to building up of a new settlement in a desert. She died in childbed Jan. 31, 1888, leaving her husband four small children, namely, Mary Ann, Hanson D., Emma Juliet and Caroline Elizabeth.
Her patience and good cheer through the privations of early San Juan days is still remembered by all who knew her.
