Dora Pratt (Anna Johanna Doratha Wilcken Pratt), Great Grandmother of Lois

Dora with children to her second husband, Helaman.  Anna, Amelia, Leah, Ira, Mary, Irena, Verde, Amy Caroline Eliza, and Charles Henry

Lois' great grandmother was born in Echorst, Germany.  She married Helaman Pratt, son of Parley P. Pratt.  Just before her father was to be made a permanent bodyguard of the King, which meant life long servitude, Dora's family left Germany.  They ended up in Utah, where they met Brigham Young and were converted to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

Dora had many trials and hardships but she always spoke with great optimism and encouraging of her husband, family, and friends. She was one of three wives.  Dora was the mother of nine children, grandmother of 44 grandchildren.
