Third wife of Mormon polygamist James Yorgason, she divorced him after the birth (and death) of her second child. She then married her first love, Brigham Manhardt Draper.
She and Brigham Draper had 10 children together. Mr. Draper was a blind musician, and himself one of 52 children fathered by Mormon polygamist William Draper.
She died young, suddenly and unexpectedly, just four months after the birth of her 12th child. The cause of death was deemed cardiac paralysis, as she had been alone in a bedroom with the baby and then was heard to have fallen to the floor without any warning to others. She was very shortly after pronounced dead by a doctor neighbor.
