into the records of the pioneers. In 1930, she was asked to pre¬pare the first outlines of lessons for the Daughters of Utah Pio¬neers. At this time the organization could not afford to have them typed, so she, her friends and her children typed them. Later they were mimeographed and sold to various D.U.P. groups. Thus began the great publishing career of Kate B. Carter. She was elected president of the Daughters of Utah Pio¬neers in 1941 and since that time has compiled, edited and done much of the writing for twelve volumes of Heart Throbs of the West, six volumes of Treasures of Pioneer History and nineteen volumes of Our Pioneer Heritage, as well as numerous pamphlets. "The sale of these books and pamphlets has provided funds for the organization, and for the erection of the Pioneer Me¬morial Museum completed in 1950 and the Carriage House added in 1973. The book sales are still the main source of in¬come. For all her work she received no salary. Her pay was in the satisfaction of achievement and the knowledge that she had the love and respect of the members of the Daughters and others whom she helped. She went out of her way to help students working on theses, or who needed background material for some worthy project. "Two important educational projects have been notable in her achievements: the placing of 396 historic markers throughout the country and several in Europe, and her interpretation and story of the Utah State flag which was accepted by state and historical associations. Thousands of copies of this booklet were distributed country-wide. "During both World Wars she worked with the Red Cross and with the National War Salvage Board during World War II. For thirty-three years she has been president and co-president of Days of '47. "Probably her greatest achievement was the erection of the Pioneer Memorial Museum. This beautiful building, the dream of half a century, was brought to fulfillment and dedicated in 1950 after lengthy and strong opposition which brought about litigation going all the way to the Supreme Court of the United States. Undaunted, and with complete trust and confidence in the loyalty and support of the Daughters everywhere, she pressed the cause to its favorable conclusion. Hers was the basic plan used by the architect in designing the building, which is a replica of the old Salt Lake Theatre. Hers was the selection of materials and the suggestions of adornment and fine finishing. The result you see at the head of Main Street in Salt Lake City. The museum is a source of pride to every descendant of the pio¬neers and others interested in history. It is a fine repository for cherished and valuable relics of the pioneer period. Thousands who visit the museum annually declare it to be one of the finest in America. These visitors come from all over the world. Rich and poor, black and white, great and humble- all have been made welcome- many times by President Carter herself. "A few years ago such a visitor was a little elderly lady who would come to the museum and spend a whole day. Mrs. Carter became acquainted with her and learned she lived in Pasadena, California. She would board the train in the evening and arrive in Salt Lake next morning, traveling on a pass. She would come to the museum and spend the day, then catch the evening train for home. President Carter would visit with her and show her around- even shared her lunch with the lady on occasion. The last time she came, she seemed to be confused, so President Carter called a cab and took her to the train. The porter on the pullman knew Mrs. Borbridge and promised he would see that she got home all right. Some time later Mrs. Carter received word that the Daughters of Utah Pioneers were named in the will of Mrs. A. K. Borbridge and would receive a considerable sum of money. When the estate was settled and the Daughters received the funds, the money was used to install the handsome bronze doors we now have on the museum. The kindness and thoughtful attention Mrs. Carter showed this unpretentious little woman resulted in this bequest. "The second large project undertaken by President Carter and the Daughters of Utah Pioneers was the building of a Car¬riage House in connection with the museum. "For a long time she had had a strong desire to erect such a structure in order to properly house and display the larger pio¬neer relics which had been given to the museum, such as the Brigham Young wagon, the mule-drawn streetcar used in Salt Lake City, an early fire engine, a Johnston's Army wagon, etc. She visited and studied other carriage houses, then suddenly in 1969 her dream became a possibility when another and larger bequest came to the Daughters of Utah Pioneers. This, too, was the result of her having befriended and taken an interest in an elderly lady whom no one knew had money. She was Saramarie Jensen Van Dyke of Tucson, Arizona, and she willed her entire estate to the Daughters. In 1971, after the courts, attorneys and the I.R.S. claims had been satisfied, the remaining funds amounted to about half enough to build a carriage house. "President Carter immediately set about raising the addi¬tional money. She sent out an appeal to the ever-faithful mem¬bers of the organization nationwide, and through their loyal cooperation and Mrs. Carter's untiring efforts, the money was raised, the land purchased and the Saramarie J. Van Dyke Car-riage House was erected. It was dedicated October 6, 1973, as a much-needed and much-appreciated addition to the museum. These two fine structures will always stand as monuments to a courageous president and the loyal support of the members of this great organization.
