Unknown Group of Ladies in Front of Pioneer Monument


We can name a few of these ladies, however some we can't.  Help us if you can.
To whom it may concern,
I believe it is a picture of ladies in the Mount Pleasant DUP camp. The sixth lady from the left on the top row is Sarah Spens Wilcox Christensen Sorensen. She is my grandmother.
Thanks.  
Sharon

On the Mount Pleasant DUP picture...3rd row, 1st on the left is Carrie Tuft Jensen, My grandmother.

Mayor George Christensen

1902-1903
The Result of the election, Tuesday was a surprise to us. The city normally about 300 Republicans, and the most............Democratic workers did not expect that the mayor, upon whom .........their greatest efforts, would receive any such majority as he did; with the balance of the ticket, excepting the treasurer, running about ............ The treasurer received a majority over the Republican nominee.
George Christensen, the Democratic mayor-elect is a young man most favorably known throughout the state and especially in the county. He has been one of the state's foremost workers in the education field for several years, and is at present county superintendend of schools in the county. He is also a member of the Stake Presidency of the North Sanpete Stake and also a member of the local city council, having been elected on the ................ticket of two years ago.

Hamilton School - Trena Olsen - Fifth Grade



It's sad when you can't pick out your own grandmother. But I have studied this photo and cannot find Trena Olsen. I know she was a blonde of medium height. I would guess this picture was taken around 1898. (I had originally said 1893 -94, before Hamilton was built.  OOPS!!!) 
Comment from Lee R. Christensen: This picture taken on east side of Hamilton.  Thanks Lee.
