Yes, “Mother Urban” ran illegal bordellos — but she also gave back to the community.

— historian Eileen Hallet Stone provides readers with a fresh look at early Utah’s version of the world’s oldest profession.

One was Rachel Beulah Hayden, known as “Mother Urban” to her working girls and their clients in Park City, which was booming in the late 1800s and early 1900s due to the large numbers of miners working there. In her book, Stone further recounts some of Mother Urban’s efforts to give back to the community, such as aiding those who had been injured or lost their jobs, supporting schools, paying her respects at funerals and consoling the grieving. She also hosted an annual Christmas party for single miners, gave candy to switchboard operators and promoted the efforts of the volunteer fire department.
