Also invited are representatives of the different local organizations, as well as individuals who have helped in any way by donations or work. A fine program has been ar¬ranged, part of which will be an interesting talk on the times and purposes of the Daughters of Utah Pioneer organizations, by Kate B. Carter, President of the Central Company, of Salt Lake City, who will be in at¬tendance. Morgan County is in¬deed fortunate to have Mrs. Carter present at this dedication as she is in demand so much of her time, attending camp con¬ventions, writing lesson pam¬phlets and books for publication on pioneer history. It is hoped there will be a large attendance to hear Mrs. Carter. Patriarch Sylvester Heiner will offer the Dedicatory prayer. Mr. Heiner, himself is of pioneer an¬cestry. After the dedication light refreshments will be served to all present, and the building and relics will be open for inspec¬tion. The first camp of Daughters of Utah Pioneers in Morgan county was organized in April of 1918, with Mrs. Ella Despain Voyce, president; Mrs. Annie Walcron Clark, firse vice presi¬dent, and Mrs. Annie Croft Heiner, second vice president. Only charter member now living is Mrs. Harriet (Hattie) Eliza Robison Heiner. The Morgan County Pioneer Memorial building was started September 17th, 1948 with ground being broken on that date, and completed and open house held March 12, 1950. It was built at a minimum cost of about $8,000.00, as much of the people and organizations of Morgan county. The last pay¬ment on the building was made December 8, 1952. Most of the chairs have been purchased by members and individuals in the county, who have had the name of the pioneer they wished to honor, or their own name in some instances, lettered on the back of the chair. There are still a few chairs to be sold if any one would like to honor their pioneers in this manner. |
