Eudora ("Dora") Lovina Young, born May 12, 1852 in Salt Lake City, Utah, was the eldest of three daughters of Lucy Bigelow and Brigham Young. She eloped to marry Moreland “Morely” Dunford October 3, 1870. Dora and Morely had two sons, Frank in 1873 and George in 1875. Due to Morely’s alcoholism she divorced him and returned to St. George to live with her mother in 1876.

Dora was sealed to Wilford Woodruff, as a plural wife, on Saturday, March 10, 1877. Dora moved to Salt Lake City later that year after Wilford returned there following Brigham Young’s death in August 1877. Dora left Wilford in 1878 for Judge Albert Hagan, a married Salt Lake attorney. The date for Albert and Dora’s marriage is given as March 1, 1879.

Their first son Albert Hagan, Jr., was born in Chicago on August 13, 1882 and died December 3, 1883 in Lakeview, Illinois. They eventually settled in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho where three more children were born: Harold Raymond May 20, 1886, Mabel Clara May 15, 1889 and Lucy Mary on June 13, 1891. Lucy died three months later.

Albert established himself as a well-respected attorney in Kootenai County, Idaho and, among other clients, represented the mine owners in the Coeur d’Alene strikes of 1892. He died In Coeur d’Alene on June 23, 1895. Dora lived a full life as a mother and grandmother, later returning to Salt Lake City where she lived until her death on October 21, 1921. The name entered on her death certificate was Dora Mary Hagan and she was buried in the Mount Olivet Cemetery in Salt Lake City.
