Life Story

Melina Smith was born September 11, 1843, at Todenham, England, one of six children. (She was christened 5 November 1843 in Todenham)

Her father (William) was a cooper (built barrels) by trade and a pipe organ builder. At the time of his death, he had a partly-built organ in their home. Her father was the bandmaster of the village and he with his three sons could play 21 different musical instruments. After his death, they all had to go to work as they were left in poor circumstances.

When she was 8 years old, Melina went to work in the silk mills 5 miles away, and later she worked in a corset factory. She was always asked to start the evening hymn to close the work at the factory. This was Doxology.

Her people were Methodists, but at the age of 16 years she went with her sister Grace to a Mormon Missionary meeting and there they became converted and baptized into the Mormon religion.

In September 1863 (Correction: 3 Mar 1862) she married William Taylor. Four children were born to them, Eli, William, Heber, and Joseph. She buried their son William in England and left the children’s father. (Leaving England via Liverpool aboard the ship Minnesota) She and their 3 sons immigrated to America in September of 1872 (Addition:  arriving the 17 of September in New York.  Her son Eli was baptized into the LDS Church on the 29 September so they were in Utah by that time). Two of her three children (Heber and Joseph Edwin) died 2 months after she came to Utah. (Joseph Edwin reportedly died three days after she reached Utah and Heber died 9 Dec 1872 in Salt Lake City) 

James Hepworth
her second husband

She came to Utah and lived with her sister, Lavinia Ann, until October conference when she moved to Salt Lake City where she lived with a family with the surname Lloyd.

On July 14, 1873, she married James Hepworth.  They lived in Salt Lake until 1878 when they moved to Bountiful where they have since lived. She was a high soprano and her husband a deep basso and they, and her sister Grace who was a wonderful alto and her husband, Jack Holden, a good tenor, formed a quartet. These singers were welcomed at all religious gatherings for their splendid music.

To her second marriage was born eight children James, Mary Jane, Samuel, Nephi, Alma, Randolph, Maud, and Melina.

They were all taught to sing the different parts and spent many evenings at home singing the old English songs of their parents. The 4 children Nephi, Randolph, Maud, and Melina, formed a quartet, and sang a great deal, and at one time were one of the best-mixed quartets in Davis County.

Melina Smith Taylor Hepworth was a woman of strong character whose courage never failed. She was honest, faithful, and true to her religion. She was very industrious and up to the age of 84 years, she made piece quilts, braided rugs, and numerous articles of crochet work.

She died July 6, 1930, at the age of 86 years leaving a posterity of 8 children, 52 grandchildren, and 33 great-grandchildren.
