She was married in Mentor, Ohio, to Lemon Bronson. Four of their children were born in Ohio and four were born in Michigan. A baptism was to be held for converts of the Church, and the new converts walked through snow for about a mile. They then had to cut a hole in a foot thick ice for the baptisms to take place. Lucy Bronson was to be baptized but she was very sick at the time. She participated in the baptism and suffered no ill affects from this experience. Lucy, however, died while the family was en route to Council Bluffs, Iowa. The family was spending the winter of 1846-47 at Poncho, Nebraska, with the Saints. Due to the deprivations and lack of proper food, Lucy Bronson died during that winter, as did many, other saints. Her name is on a monument at that local cemetery. Lucy had died about Feb 1847 near Winter Quarters. Her husband and family continued on with the group to Utah. They arrived in Salt Lake City by wagon about 1 Oct, 1847. They traveled with Capt. Edward H Hunter's Company (2nd hundred), with Capt Jacob Foutz (2nd fifty), Capt. Vincent Shurtlef's (3rd ten) company number 4. Source: Pioneer Women of Faith and Fortitude, vol.
