The cornerstone of this new meeting house is dated 1952. the year construction of the new building was started. Dedication was June 24, 1956

Look to the far right of the photo. Social Hall is still standing.

The building could not be dedicated until it was payed for.  The new church was completely built in 1954.  It was dedicated in 1956.  Many banquets were held to raise money to pay for the building.  Those that remember say, "We ate our way into the new North Ward Church".

Glass Plate Negative Photos restored by Chas Hathaway

Do you recognize any of these homes from glass plate negatives taken in the late 1800s? 

The first is of Bon Acord Cottage and the home of William and  Mary Margaret Forquhar Morrison.  It was also used as one of the first telegraph offices in Mt. Pleasant.  Wilhemina Morrison Ericksen operated the telegraph there.  It was located on the now Wasatch Academy property.

Can you identify this home and its family?

It is unknown to us.  Please help !!!

And here is another home we hope someone can help us identify.

We certainly appreciate Chas Hathaway for restoring these photos.  http://chashathaway.com/about-chas

More to come soon....

Military Pomp and Ceremony~ 222nd Field Artillery

Lee R. Christensen adds: Kathy: I do not recognize any of the enlisted troopers in the photo. But Joe Buys who was probably the Officer of the Day inspecting the group was well known to North Sanpete and Wasatch Academy football players. He was the coach at Richfield and I don't remember either school beating them in my day. When the Utah National Guard mobilized in March 1941 a good number of high school coachs were mobilized with it. Both Mt Pleasant schools , Brunger from Wasatch and Fuller from Noth Sanpete went into service along with Buys, Richfield and Wade ,Salina just to name four. lee

Meeting December 12th 1875

Meeting opened with singing "Happy Is the Man Who Hears", etc.  Prayer by Sister Peel.  Singing "Glorious Things Are Sung of Zion", etc.  Minutes of the last meeting were read and accepted and the reports read.  Sister Morrison said she was glad to have an opportunity to meet with the sisters again.  Said she hoped the sisters would all try to take an interest in the way in whice they were engaged.  If we would set an example of truth and righteousness before our families, they wyould remember it. Precept was good but example is better.  She spoke of home industry; the shawls which have been woven and the artificial flowers.  Sister Peel bore her testimony.  She also spoke on home manufacture.  Said if we are self sustaining people, it is time to begin.  Sister Simpson bore her testimony ~ thought it was a duty for the sisters to meet together.  The sisters had been organized and that they are an organization in the kingdom of God. ~ Said she was very much interested in home industries that the sisters were engaged in, although she had done nothing to assist it.  Sister Morrison thought Sister Simpson had done as much or more than any one else and proposed a vote of thanks for her patience and perseverance in the good work.  The hymn "Sing to the Great Jehova's Praise" was sung.  Sister Jensen gave some good instruction ~ said she hoped the sisters would take an interest in their daughters and instruct them in something useful and instructive, and not use so much foolishness in dressing.  Sister Peterson bore her testimony and said she knew the Spirit of the Lord was in our midst.  The sisters of the visiting committee gave in their reports.  Prayer by Sister Christensen.
