Hilda Anderson Erickson
This is Mary, the founder of Lotus Doula Tribe, with her son Beau and the women behind Lotus Doula Tribe, Hilda Anderson Erickson. She was Marys great great Aunt.

After having her 2 kids she became a midwife and helped support thousands of the Goshute Indians in Northwestern Utah. She would ride her horse side saddle to births up to 25 miles away. Hence why they have her statute that way. She lived to be 109 years old, the oldest living Pioneer. Mary recently made the trip to visit her statue that the town of Grantsville erected for her. She was a beacon of light for this City. Every year they dedicate October 12th to her, and the whole city celebrates her.
