RELIC HOME - - - OPEN FOR PIONEER DAY - - -
The above picture is an example of the many Hamilton Elementary School Photos available at the Mt. Pleasant Relic Home
This past year volunteers at the Relic Home have been painting, organizing, collecting and researching as well as hosting. The Mt. Pleasant Relic Home has become one of the best family research facilities in our area. Resources such as original pedigree charts, school photos, Mt. Pleasant Pyramids, cemetery records and personal histories are available there.
Tudy Barentsen Standlee has organized the photos, histories and other resources in such a way that anyone can locate their family records in minutes. A copy machine is located on site for those wishing to copy these records.
Donna Brunger has such a great knowledge of the Relic Home itself as she is a direct descendant of William S. Seely the original owner. Donna is also compiling an album of obituaries for reference purposes. Becky Anderson, a volunteer hostess on Saturdays has such a great appreciation not only of the pioneers but also their crafts. Kathy Hafen has put together a web page (mtpleasantpioneer.blogspot.com) featuring photos, histories and events.
Peter Hafen operates the Peter Madsen Peel Blacksmith Shop. He has taken classes at the Snow College Traditional Building Skills Institute and has found a new hobby and become a master at the craft of blacksmithing. Roxey Washburn schedules the volunteers and conducts tours by appointment; often on a very short notice. Maren Peel and Martha Brotherson help as hostesses during the summer months.
The Relic Home and Blacksmith Shop volunteers encourage and welcome groups such as family reunion, class reunion, scouts, D.U.P. and S.U.P. as well as school groups. Our Relic Home is currently open Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday between 1: and 3:00 p.m. or by appointment. We are located at 150 South State Street. Visits are free to the public and donations are very much appreciated.

Female Relief Society September 1874
Meeting held at Social Hall September 7th 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"; 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 kindly. Sister Peel made some remarks in Danish, and also explained what had been said by Sister Morrison. Two days meetings will be held next month, Saturday and Sunday. Sister Morrison thought it would be nifce to have this meeting house clean and some sweet flowers nicely arranged. It would be 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 Franson, 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 into practice what our Presidentess had taught us. Sister Bramstead felt glad that she was permitted to visit the Sisters; all felt well and said, "May God Bless Brother Olser in his endeavours 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 Osler spoke in behalf of the Young Sisters, that they should learn to do nice articles of their own manufacture. The meeting closed by singing and prayer by Sister Peterson.
