Female Relief Society - - -Sep. 7, 1874

Opened by singing and prayer by Sister Peel.  Minutes of a former meeting were read and accepted.  Sister Morrison made edifying remarks concerning the "New Order" and said if we keep cheerful and happy, keep the good spirit, look at the bright side of the question, do the best we can, it will be all right; let us treat everybody kind.  Sister Peel made some remarks in Danish, andalso explained what had been said by Sister Morrison.  Two day's meetings will be held next Saturday and Sunday.  Sister Morrison thought it would be nice to have this meeting house clean and  some sweet flowers nicely arranged.  It would look cheerful and encouraging.  Sister Simpson bore her testimony and felt glad she was where she was. Good instructions were given in the Danish language by Sisters Frandsen, Jensen, Bourg, Carlson and Johnson.  Sister C. Jensen bore her testimony and said she endorsed all that had been said and exhorted us to put in practice what our Presidentess had taught us.  Sister Branstead felt glad that she was permitted to visit the sisters; all felt well and said may God bless Brother Ostler in his endavors to teach the young to sing.  Sister Peterson related a dream which was interesting.  It was moved and carried that Matilda Wilcox and Christina M. Madsen were admitted as members in the Female Relief Society.  Sister Ostler spoke in behalf of the young sisters; they should learn to do nice articles of their own manufacture.  Meeting closed by singing and prayer by sister Peterson.

Daughters of Utah Pioneers - with names


We first posted this picture in the summer of 2009 without names from the original photograph found at the Relic Home.  We found a printed version in the book "These Our Fathers" printed in 1947 by all the DUP Camps in Sanpete County.  While it gives the names, there may be a discrepency in the order.  It is also interesting that Hilda Madsen Longsdorf was the first chapter president. Hilda is the author of the "History of Mt. Pleasant".
