Annie Taylor Hyde

Annie Taylor Hyde

Anna Maria Ballantyne Taylor Hyde (October 21, 1847–March 12, 1909) was the founder and first president of the Daughters of Utah Pioneers and was a women's leader in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church).

Anna Maria Ballantyne Taylor was born in a Mormon pioneer wagon shortly after her parents, LDS Church Apostle John Taylor and Jane Ballantyne, had arrived in the Salt Lake Valley. Taylor was educated at the University of Deseret; in December 1870, she married Alonzo Eugene Hyde in the Endowment House in Salt Lake City.

On April 11, 1901, Annie Taylor Hyde invited 54 other women to join her in creating Daughters of the Utah Pioneers, an organization that would "perpetuate the names and achievements of the men, women and children who were the pioneers in founding this commonwealth [Utah] ". Hyde was elected the first president of the organization, and she held this position until her death in Salt Lake City from stomach cancer.

Later in 1901, Hyde was asked by Bathsheba W. Smith to become her first counselor in the general presidency of the Relief Society, the LDS Church organization of women. Hyde also served in this capacity until her death. As a member of the Relief Society general presidency, Hyde represented the Relief Society at meetings of the National Council of Women.

Annie Taylor Hyde and her husband were the parents of eight children. One of their daughters, Annie Laura Hyde, married Joseph F. Merrill, who later became an apostle in the LDS Church.
