President Slade and some of her DUP Board Members met to examine the items, and determined that they were relics probably donated to the DUP many years ago, and stored originally in the log scout cabin located west of the Kaysville LDS Tabernacle Building. When playful scouts broke the glass cabinets that the relics were displayed in, it was decided to move them to the city building until such time as a safe case or museum could be built to house them. DURING THE early sixties, a case was built and most of the items were arranged in the case for display. This case sits inside the hallway of the city hall. However, the .Sampler and paintings were too large to be displayed there so they, were stored in the vault and forgotten. Pres. Slade contacted the LDS Church Historical Dept, to determine their value, and if they could say what the paintings were of. Historians there, determined the paintings were of the old Territorial Prison in Sugarhouse, which was built in the 1850's and was where seti EEEP Qfflmuc (3Qiikisin (SEP j37i3Z 22020 T33I mas av (iewly 32EMl(3fi7 the polygamous fathers were housed after the Edmunds-Tucke- r Ad made polgamy unlawful, mostly used through the I880s before the Manifesto in 1890.
