Searle's donations complete doll collection Due to a donation by Vonetta and Woodey Searle, the First Lady Doll Collection at the Uintah County Library will be completed. Because there weren't enough funds, all first ladies were not included in the original collection. The Searles donated lo the library seven of the eight first lady dolls, not included in the collection, collec-tion, and a doll case to house the dolls. Woodey Searle commissioned Troy 1,1 Burton, local cabinetmaker, to build t) Die new case. The first two cases were built by the Ute Fab, a Ute Indian , cabinet making enterprise. Now each president is represented by a first lady and one is represented twice, his first wife who acted as a first lady died and he remarried. All wives did not serve as first ladies, due to illness or other various reasons, but whenever possible the wife was chosen to represent the first lady. Doris Burton, director of the Uintah County Library, said, "People come in from all over the world tb view the dolls and the community should be very proud of their joint effort in creating this collection. We really appreciate the Searles for making it possible to complete our First Lady Doll Collection |
