Colista Perry said of her mother, "My mother was a very quiet unassuming woman, and was very good natured. She, of course, passed through many hardships in the early days of the Church. She told me that when her mother was sick, an old mobocrat (that is what she called him), rode into their house and ordered them to leave by a certain time, or they would shoot them down like rabbits. At one time, they broke a chair over Uncle Orin Hulett's back. The men had to hide, as it was them the mob were after. My grandfather Hulett hid for some time in a corn shock and my mother had to carry his food to him as she went to milk the cow."
"I have heard mother tell how awfully cold it was. At one time when they were driven from their homes, the wagon creaked on the snow as they moved along. Their trip to the Valley must have been tiresome and tedious, as they were three months on the way. It was summer time when they came together in company with the grandparents on both sides of the family and two small children. Also, Marie Perry Smith, Stephen's sister, and her husband William Smith came with them. Also Orin Hulett and families came with them. "In the summer time, I went with my father to the canyons to gather service berries, choke cherries, and thimble berries. We dried the service berries to be used during the winter. We also gathered and dried ground cherries." Father would also take us children to Provo River for fish. These we dressed, washed, salted, and dried in the sun for winter use. Some times we were very short of bread. We used potatoes in milk as bread substitute." "Our people built forts to live in for protection from the Indians. "
"My mother, Aunt Margaret Stewart Perry and Aunt Mary Boggs Perry, all worked very hard spinning, weaving, elating and braiding to make our clothing, hats and carpets.
Ann Marie Hulett Perry died in Springville, Utah 27 July 1884, and was buried in the Springville City Cemetery. [scanned from The Perry Family History Vol. I by SSS]

Ann Marie Hulet Perry was a very quiet, unassuming woman of sterling truth and willing to do all she could to help anyone who needed any assistance. The trip across the plains must of necessity have been very hard for these saints who had very little to start out on such a trip, but being summer, it was pleasant weather for traveling. Stephen's sister, Polly Marie Smith, and her husband, William Smith, were in the same company, so they had a sort of family party all the way.

6. Proxy Baptisms done in Nauvoo by Anna Marie Hulett.

1. Sarah Howe, born 1764, Lee, Berkshire, Massachusetts, married John Hulett, about 1797. She died 21 Jan 1797, Lee Berkshire, Massachusetts. Anne Hulett, the great grand Niece did the proxy baptism in 1841
Charles’ oldest daughter was Anna Marie Hulet. She married Stephen Chadwick Perry and was married by Hyrum Smith on 14 Jan 1844 in Nauvoo, which was 5 months before the martyrdom. This was Stephen’s second marriage as he was a widower when his first wife died in child birth in Nauvoo as she gave birth to their first child. She was buried with the baby who also died in her arms ,in the old folks cemetery in Nauvoo. Stephen was a constable and participated in the destruction of the Nauvoo Expositor newspaper that slandered Joseph Smith and was declared a public nuisance by the city council. He therefore was the 5th name named on the arrest warrant to Carthage. These two families became linked after the marriage.
Stephen Chadwick Perry’s father Asahel Perry was called as the Branch President in Mt. Pisgah. This was one of two way stations meant to help the Saints across Iowa after they left Nauvoo in 1846. They provided shelter and food to the saints on their way to Council Bluff. The Hulet’s were there until 1853 when they immigrated to Springville with the Perry’s. Several other families’ destinies were linked including Isaac Morley family (counselor to Newell Whitney’s bishopric and later patriarch). One of the Hulet girls had married into this family. Also the Tuttle family was linked. All these families stayed at Mt Pisgah till 1853 leaving Nauvoo in 1846 and crossed the plains together, ending up in Hobble Creek which later became Springville.
Asahel Perry was also a chair builder (like the Hulets) as this was his and Stephen Chadwick’s profession in Springville. Obviously many interests were the same in these two families. The families knew the Whitmer family well in Missouri and were very sad when they left the church but remained faithful.
The Hulet’s were baptized by Lyman Wight who later became an apostle. He was well controlled by Joseph, but on his death was not well controlled and led a group of Saints to Lubbock Texas. He was never excommunicated but disaffected. Sometime in the next 30 years representatives from Salt Lake were sent to this group and they came back into the fold. This is why there is temple in Lubbock Texas today.
The family lived next to the John Johnson farm and personally knew the prophet. S.S (descendant of Anna Maria Hulet)
