Lehi and Henrietta were married.' Lehi's father, Thomas, was endowed hefore he and Sage were married, but for some reason, records indicate they they were not sealed to each other until three years after their marriage.

The other rhildren were I~orn enant. Genealogy records also show that Lehi was re-l~aptized0( 30. t. 1876 when he was 22 years old. Apparently his records had been lost, because it is indicated that he had heen baptized AIay 1864 when he was 10 years of age.

In the 15120's she wrote about becoming Retrenchment (lvI.1.A.) President in 1875 when she was only 17 years old: "In 1869 with the advent of the rails road, PresidentYoung could see that his family, a well as others, were giving way to extravagance and there was need for something to he done. T h e pioneers of the previous 27 years had heen hedged ahout hy the mountains, had established churches, schools and amusement halls. -they were heginning to have more comfortable homes and had, in a measure, overcome the sterile soil by irri~ation." " Now strangers were coming in and the young people, who were strong and vigorous, were taken up with the new conditions which confronted them. Far more to be dreaded than persecution, was the spirit of folly and fashion which was creeping in. Books became cheaper, among them fashion magazines the spinning whecl and loom werc disappearing, sewing machines were l ~ e i n z brought in -the women had heen, and girls were demanding money to buy articles that, I~efore ~mknown." "It was at this time that President Young called his wives and danghters together and said the time had come when the sisters must agree to give up their follies in dress, and cultivate modest apparel, a meek deportment, andset an example before the people of the world, worthy of imitation. President Young said, 'I am weary of the women trying to outdo each other, for instance, if a sister invites her sisters to visit her, she must have quite as many dishes as her neighbor spread on a formal occasion, indeed one or two more to show how much more superior hcr table is to that of her neishlmn. This silly rivalry has induced a hahit of extravaxance in food and involved our fathen and husbands in debt,
