Show DAUGHTERS of UTAH PIONEERS My Grandmother, Madeleine Malan Farley, was one of the early members of the Daughters of Utah Pioneers. My mother, Mary Agnes Farley Marriott, became a member as did her sister, my Aunt Ida Farley Ferrin, and my father's sister, Ida Marriott Creamer. They were members of Camp R, North Company. At one time, Amanda Waterstradt was President of the North Company which included many camps through the eastern, western, and northern part of Ogden. A year later, I applied for membership in the DUP, and soon after, President Amanda Waterstradt asked me to be a member of the board. I was assigned to visit camps which held their meetings in the evening. I found this to be a very choice calling. I enjoyed meeting so many older members and hearing the histories of our early pioneer members. At one time we visited the Weber Memorial Hospital in Roy before the new building was constructed. Some of the members were on the second and third floors. They were bedridden and were never able to attend meetings, which were held on the main floor. They always seemed so appreciative of our visits. After the new building was completed everything was on the ground level. With the aid of wheelchairs and help of attendants, they were able to take in camp meetings. Included in my history is a photograph of the DUP's Camp R, North Company taken about 1942 at the Cobble Cottage on 12th Street, Ogden, Utah. The occasion was a Christmas party. I will mention the names here: back--Adelaide Addie Ward Shaw, Arta Blakely, Rose Sawyer Chase, Harriet (Hattie) Jones Read, Marie (Mamie) Newman Stone, Maude Wilson, Mary Wilson Isaacson, Isabel Chase Jones, LaPriel Eyre, Lillie Barker Richards, Laura Tribe Herbert, Jennie Farr Budge, Viola Read Badger. Front--Julia Drake Farr, Ida Marriott Creamer, Ida Madeleine Farley Ferrin, Margaret Stalle Barker, Violet Norton, Annis Shaw Badger, Mary Agnes Farley Marriott, Margaret Worley Sanford, Julia Pauline Shaw Garr, Edith Morris, Leontine Barker Knighton, and Bertha Farley Luddington. BEAR LAKE TRADITION At times the Dents, Christensens, and our family would all meet at Como Springs in Morgan. We would have a lunch and enjoy the warmth of the springs and the swimming pool. We also enjoyed Crystal Springs resort in Honeyville, too. Once a year for many years the three families would go to Bear Lake in the summer and stay over a night or two. Usually we stayed at Ideal Beach which had two rows of cabins with each cabin usually having two full-size beds. The |
