Previous to that time an association existed in Ogden City, which met once a week in the old City Hall. This organization was under the charge of Apostle Franklin D. Richards, and was organized on the 20th day of April, 1878. There are now in Weber County twenty-one associations with an enrollment of about 800 members. All the associations are presided over by a Central Board consisting of a superintendent, two counselors, two secretaries, and a treasurer. Each society has a president, two counselors, a secretary, a treasurer, and, in societies where a library is found, a librarian. The first Central Board was organized in April 1878, and consisted of the following: Joseph A. West, Superintendent; A. C. Brown, L. A. Herrick, Counselors; Washington Jenkins, Recording Secretary; C. C. Richards, Corresponding Secretary. Z. Ballantyne, Treasurer. The present Central Board, which was organized in January 1882, consists of Edward H. Anderson, Superintendent; L. A. Herrick, Zechariah Ballantyne, Counselors; A. D. Chambers, Recording Secretary; Angus T. Wright, Corresponding Secretary; W. S. Harris, Treasurer. The latter was appointed treasurer in January 1883, instead of John L. Wilson who had held that position until then. In the County there are ten libraries belonging to the associations, consisting of about five hundred volumes of valuable works. The Central Board visit among the associations from time to time and various methods are adopted to make the meetings interesting and instructive. The exercises are of a varied nature, consisting of lectures from the Bible, and other Mormon works, science, biography, history, and answering questions. There are fifteen manuscript papers published in the County among the associations, K- SPANiSH GUIPURE LACES AT WOTHERSPOON'S, x gpyif & Cte^mtotimrttifuttxwifa strut, Directory of Ogden City and Weber County, loi^ which contain from time to time interesting sketches no miscellaneous subjects by members of the associations.
