Her father was one of the scouts who came into the Salt Lake Valley 22 July, 1847, just ahead of the original company of pioneers. He returned to Winter Quarters that same year with Brigham Young and brought his family to the Valley in 1848. The Bakers and the Packs lived just across the street from each other in Salt Lake City, at the corners of 1st North and West Temple Streets. Lucy Amelia Pack married first, in 1857, William Henry Kimball, son of Heber Chase Kimball and Vilate Murray. They had one child, Julia Alline Kimball, born 9 March, 1858, at Salt Lake City. She later became a part of the Baker household. When trouble arose, Lucy was divorced from her husband and later married, 10 July, 1859 Joseph Baker. Lucy Amelia had a sweet, lovable disposition, which brought all who knew her close around her, she being a great favorite with the young people. She was a graceful dancer and a sweet singer. Riding horses was one of her favorite amusements. She was the mother of six sons and four daughters. Her first son, Joseph Lindon, was killed by a snow plow on the Utah Northern Railroad, 10 January, 1880, and her third son, Simon Pack, was drowned in the Snake River, leaving a wife and two children. Her two youngest sons died young. Lucy Amelia was never well after she lost her little son, Ward Eaton. She passed away 16 August, 1874, at Mendon, a young woman not yet thirty-seven years of age.
