Elizabeth Ann Brady was born March 3, 1839 (death certificate has 1838) in Farr West, Missouri to Lindsay Anderson Brady and Elizabeth Ann Hendrickson Brady who were members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints at the time. They lived in Nauvoo for some time and when grandmother was eleven years old, they left Missouri and came to Utah. She walked most of the way across the plains arriving in Salt Lake Valley where they settled at Union Fort in 1850.
Grandmother was married by President Brigham Young in the Endowment House in 1852 to Simpson David Huffaker and lived in South Cottonwood where they had eleven children, raising seven of them to maturity: Lindsay Brady (died an infant), Elizabeth Vilate (died an infant), Frances Matilda, George Marion, William Vasco (died at age 6), Simpson Lionel, Ariadne Tranquilla, Parley (drowned at age 1), Beatrice, Mary Eva and Albert Franklin. Some time after this she moved to Woodruff where she built a small log house in the outskirts of the town and lived there for many years.
The next few years were spent in the old Anson C. Call home. For some time she lived with different ones of her family and was with her daughter Ariadne in West Jordan, Utah when she died January 26, (death certificate says January 27) 1922, at the age of 83. She was buried in the family cemetery on the old farm where she lived when she was first married and her children were born and some of them raised.
