SUMMARY

David O. McKay served as president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from 1951 until his death in 1970. A devout and devoted leader, he was no less devoted to his beloved wife, Emma Ray Mckay. In this collection of letters from the David Oman McKay Papers at the J. Willard Marriott Library at the University of Utah, McKay's courtship of Emma Ray Riggs and the early days of the couple's marriage are revealed in his own words. The McKays were married in the Salt Lake LDS Temple on January 2, 1901, the first "sealing" of the twentieth century. They became known as the church's happiest couple. One of the things that cultivated that happiness were the poems and expressions of endearment Mckay presented his wife, offerings he referred to as "heart petals." The letters collected here are replete with touching examples of those gifts of love, revealing the blossoming of a true, devoted love that lasted over seventy years.Woodger, Mary Jane is the author of 'Heart Petals The Personal Correspondence Of David Oman Mckay To Emma Ray Mckay', published 2005 under ISBN 9780874808230 and ISBN 0874808235.
