Alice Fleet Smart was born on January 1, 1844 in Pont De l’Arche, Eure, France. Her parents, Ann Hayter and Henry Fleet, were from England but were working in France teaching school at the time of Alice’s birth.
In 1846, Alice’s mother and father divorced. In 1847, Ann met and married Thomas Sharott Smart, who was also an Englishman living in France. Thomas legally adopted Alice, her older sister Mary Ann, and younger sister Louisa.
The Smart family immigrated to America in 1848 and settled in St. Louis, Missouri, where two children, Charlotte and Maria, were born to the family. While living in Missouri, the Smart family came into contact with members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, leading to their conversion and baptism in 1851.
When Alice was 8 years old in 1852, her family decided to cross the plains to Utah to join the main body of the church. The family joined the Allen Weeks Company, departing from Kanesville, Iowa (present day Council Bluffs, Iowa) on 13 July 1852. The Smarts traveled by wagon and ox team and made the journey without any major incidents beyond the expected hardships of the journey, arriving in Salt Lake City, Utah on 12 October 1852.
Alice and her family settled in American Fork, where her father engaged in the tannery business. Two children were born to the family here, Thomas and Sarah. Around 1856 or 1857, the Smart family moved to Provo, where two more children were born, Eliza and Frances. Finally, in about 1861, Thomas was asked by church leaders to join a group going to settle the Cache Valley in what would become southern Idaho. He moved his family to what would become Franklin, Idaho, where the last two members of the family, William and Mary, were born.
In Idaho, Alice met William Jared Pratt, the son of William Pratt and nephew of LDS church apostles Parley P and Orson Pratt. Alice and William married on 1 December 1863 in Preston, Idaho. Alice and William lived the rest of their lives in southern Idaho, where they had ten children - William, Ann, Thomas, Parley, Alice, Jared, Wealthy, Lucy Katie, and Leonidas - all of whom lived to adulthood save two. In 1873, with Alice’s blessing, William married Charlotte Parkinson as his second wife, with whom he had three children.
Alice worked hard raising children and running her household in a frontier settlement. She served as a midwife. She was a faithful member of her church and served as president of the Relief Society at Wilford, Idaho for many years.
In her later years, after Jared’s death, Alice lived with her son William in Burley Idaho, where she died on 17 February 1920. Alice was buried in the Albion City Cemetery.

Annetta Hayter was born on 18 September 1822 in Portsmouth, England to Henry and Kezia Hayter, the youngest of seven children. Ann spent her childhood in an industrious, middle class farming community where her parents had lived their whole lives.
On 24 October 1841, Ann married Henry Fleet, a schoolteacher five years her senior. In 1842, Ann and Henry moved across the channel to Normandy, France where Henry took up a teaching position. Three daughters were born to Ann and Henry while living in France: Mary Ann in 1842, Alice in 1844, and Louisa in 1846. Sometime around Louisa’s birth, Ann and Henry’s marriage, strained by Henry’s alcohol addiction, fell apart and they divorced.
Not long after her divorce, Ann met Thomas Sharratt Smart from Staffordshire, England, who was also living and working in France. They married on 1 March 1847 and Thomas legally adopted Ann’s three children.
In 1848, the Smart family decided to emigrate to America. They made the ocean crossing without incident and settled in St. Louis, Missouri, where two more daughters, Charlotte and Maria, were born to the family. While living in Missouri, Ann and Thomas came into contact with members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, leading to their conversion and baptism into the church in 1851.
In 1852, Ann and Thomas decided to move again, this time to Utah to join the main body of their new faith. They joined the Allen Weeks Company, departing from Kanesville, Iowa (present day Council Bluffs, Iowa) on 13 July 1852. The Smarts traveled by wagon and ox team and made the journey without any major incidents beyond the expected hardships of the journey, arriving in Salt Lake City, Utah on 12 October 1852.
After a short time in Salt Lake City, Ann and Thomas moved their family south to American Fork, where Thomas engaged in the tannery business. Two children were born to the family here, Thomas and Sarah. Around 1856 or 1857, the Smart family moved to Provo, where two more children were born, Eliza and Frances. Frances lived just three months and passed away. Finally, in 1860 or 1861, Thomas and Ann were asked by church leaders to join a group going to settle the Cache Valley in southern Idaho. They moved their family to what would become Franklin, Idaho, where Ann’s last two children, William and Mary, were born.
In 1869, Thomas, with Ann’s consent, began practicing polygamy and married a second wife, Marguerite Justet.
As the matriarch of a large family in a frontier settlement, Ann worked hard raising and providing for her family. She was an active participant in the Relief Society, the women’s organization of the church, and in the social activities of her community.
Ann was killed by a lighting strike in her farm home in Franklin, Idaho on 22 June 1876 at the age of 54. She was buried in the family cemetery on her farm.
