A family life

Zina Presendia Young Williams Card

1850–1931

Zina’s education, family life, and public work connect the Young and Card branches.

A documentary-edition biography identifies Zina Presendia as the daughter of Brigham Young and Zina Diantha Huntington. Her earlier marriage to Thomas Child Williams and later marriage to Charles Ora Card belong to distinct chapters of her life.

Her own 1890 letter offers a way to hear the period through a surviving document. She should always be distinguished from her mother and other relatives named Zina.
