Show AN A 1 l APPEAL FOR DAUGHTERS OF PIONEERS organization given at their recent meeting by LILLIAN ORTON cox my dear friends I 1 have haie beer asked to say bay a few words concern ing the aud and aims of the am move beut which has culminated in the organization the Daugh daughters tera of the Pio pioneers necol you probably all know that such organizations came to be through the efforts of individuals who ho had a desire to see the work of the pion ears not or only recognized and held in respect but perpetuated in his cical boncal form As I 1 understand it this organization is to pay special attention to the lives and labors labor of the pioneer women omen without whom the mormon m migration a west aard aid caudia ignat could never ha hac been en success successfully full undertaken undertake I 1 up P to date the histories hist of the world hive paid little attention to ro tr the PAT part t played by women in the world s greatest mover chere ire am pe probably bably two mm inam deaso reasons naj hi this is so the first that men write the histories and the second that the services performed by women are le less spectacular in nature thin th in those these performed bv men then them see seem to be only a f few isolated cases nh as ill thit at join joan of arc am or that 7 of floreane Flor F koot erne nightingale or iti in ou on aull that of Urn machue B ft ells where women amae have received just p praise A and ad attention it aiom the hands or of f b historians na 1 I say this his with oo 00 ri thought thong ot b belittling 1 etling the works of men their services have re tarred no an more ore than lust just consideration in the chronicles of nations I 1 do think look however i thit that women bat have not at received rightful share of that praise and this is as true n garding our church history as any other hist history ry you know and I 1 know that tatt it is A mainly through warfare thit that gre oien baw avs obtained brain e d lum luoneal neal recognition and I 1 ask yoa oil if the service of the warrior is so much greater than that of the woman left Is the bravery of the on an or husband who goes into the fray any greater than that of the mother or wife who gladly tells its them to go knowing full wall 11 that on her should shoulders will fill fall the he responsibility of the welfare elfre of those at home gunnel yet who bo ae gets a t the be ban amor I 1 m the account ot or this the a r 6 it is true that the tha united states as I 1 country he has exalted tied t the e status on page I 1 AN APPEAL FOR DAUGHTERS OF PIONEERS organization continued from page one 1 of above thit of an other nation but in our case a gen oral statement is not sufficient our pioneer women an deserve special praise pi dise and from us

should glorify the uma name of womanhood we cert imly have occasion to do so for in our veins avem runs as the blood of these noble and true hearts it 1301 is our duty to see such a programs program as that imo cited by the daughters of the Pine erb carried cut cat there is no oue one as concerned about this thing as 1 should be we cannot s L let et the a other t her fell fellow ow do it in this

the birly homes he made much of such furniture as a was wall us used d 11 he assisted with the erection of one of the first saw mills used in this valley valle it was an upright model very crude perhaps compared with present models but a gobind to our people in this little mill was cut cat some same lumber which found its way title into the construction of the salt lake tuber taber natle nacle grandfather helped build the mud wall which surrounded the town and took his turn as watch thmia for the indians indiana he also set ved in several public offices office among which are those of bishop seat sexton and justice of the peace another great service he rendered was in making coffins forthe for the dead one of his wives anna fredricks was a nursie nurse and midwife in this cap arity a ity she was invaluable it was orce area remarked that one could neither get into the world or out of it wit biti out the aid of brother bayles and his family anna mine came across the plains in 1855 with the ox teams aunt mary came with the hand handcart eart corn cam piny of 1856 my grandmother dorthea came with another hind cart company in 1857 each suffer ed ad many privations and laud which do not need repeating at this tune time we are all familiar with tile the details of these jonan jonroe evs vs grandfather Giand father bayles had bad the rather peculiar position of being husband to four danish wives wies while lie he could not understand a word of the language lan spoke 1 1 I he division of labor among tim the wives is worthy of comment As I 1 have bave said one of them anna was wall a nurse and midwife she spent as much time as all was dereau demanded ded of her among the sick during the surn sum met iner months she and some of the hildren would retire to the reach ranch here she made some mine butter and a great deal of cheese the cheese was for winter consumption aunt mary had learned the art of weaving in denmark As ai her purl part jf if tile the walk she dyed and wove the material which supplied the family and much of the southern pat of the cot coi nty my with clotel clothier ir carpets rugs etc she also took took it upon herself to make a trip to dixie each year to irv fruit for winter use it see seems the art ot at canning was not known to our grandmothers hence beace it was nee to procure dued fruits if fruits were 0 o be had each autumn the thee was a regular pilgrimage to the south for the purpose of drying fruit on shares A month was usually necessary for this opera operation tim a in my grandfathers raad fathera family the lumber which was wait used in the dry drying ing process was taken down frona from here and then sold when its ith use as dryers was over it fell to my grat grai di nother to mind ind affairs at home here she hoarded
