Lucy Jane Brimhall Knight was a leader in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She was also one of the first two single female missionaries of the LDS Church. Jennie Brimhall was born in Spanish Fork, Utah Territory to George H. Brimhall and Alsina Elizabeth Wilkins. Jennie was educated as a teacher at Brigham Young University and taught school in San Juan County, Utah. On April 1, 1898, Jennie was set apart as one of the first two single women in the LDS Church to be formally selected as full-time church missionaries. The other was her childhood friend Inez Knight. Jennie Brimhall and Inez Knight were missionary companions in England in 1898; Jennie returned to Utah in November 1898 due to poor health. After she returned from her mission, Jennie Brimhall married J. William Knight in January 1899. Shortly thereafter, she accompanied her husband to Canada, where his father Jesse Knight had established the Mormon settlement of Raymond in present-day Alberta. While living in Raymond, Jennie Knight was the president of the Taylor Stake's Young Ladies Mutual Improvement Association.
