Ann Kay was only eight when she left Bolton, England. She crossed the plains in the Johnson company by ox team in 1866 with her aunt and uncle, Alice and Richard Barnes. They spent their first year in Utah with her Uncle Mayoli; they had nothing to eat that winter except potatoes. The next year Ann Kay moved to Coalville where her uncle got work in the coal mines. Ann was there when the grasshoppers destroyed all the crops.
Ann and her older sister, Alice Kay, met two brothers, William and Alexander Street. Alice married Alexander two days before Ann married William. Ann lived in Wyoming for a few years, and then she and her husband and two children moved to Heber City and then to Park City. William died in 1881, leaving Ann a widow at twenty-three with four children, the oldest of whom was six and the youngest six months. For three years, Ann took in washing and did sewing until her marriage to Simon Street, William's younger brother.
Simon and Ann's first child, Joseph Kay Street, was born in Park City on December 22, 1884.
In the fall of 1886, the family moved to Midway where Simon bought sixty acres of land. Six children were born to them in Midway: Cora, Daniel, Edward, Simon Jr., Lila, a twin on the same day; and Ester Jane. Their fourth child, Edward, died as an infant. Their twin daughter, Lila, died young of whooping cough. In 1900, diphtheria killed Ester Jane and Alice (from 1st marriage).
Ann was very good to all of the children. She had a lot of common sense and was very thrifty, everything counted. When they lived in a cabin in Midway, she used sage brush for her brooms.
