CARTER A profound feeling for the past, a deep belief in her religion, and a love for history, have all worked together to shape the life of Kate B. Carter, president of the Daughters of Utah Pioneers for the last thirty years. "I had no real history traing," said Mrs Carter. "My desire and love of history came from my father, an Icelandic pioneer who settled in Spanish Fork.
