Holt of Salt Lake City sent a fine white cambric cam-bric apron, trimmed with hemstitching hem-stitching and wide lace and made in St. George in the early 1860's by her sister, Nora Woolsey For-sha. For-sha. Of local as well as national interest in-terest are the two scrap books compiled by the late Margaret Viola Burgess McMurtrie, who was historian for the Foster camp of the D. U. P., at the time of her death. He husband submitted the well organized volumes which contain priceless history clippings kept up to date to within a few weeks of her death. The largest of these two volumes vol-umes which is 20 by 24 inches and three inches thick, contains an amazing collection of newspaper news-paper and magazine clippings important im-portant in their relation to local, state and national affairs of merit, and give evidence of a vast amount of selective reading and work. Local D. U. P. members plan to bring the book to completion com-pletion as time goes along. Added to the exhibits Wednesday,- March 25th, is a diamond pattern patchwork quilt made by Rachel Sanders Everett of materials ma-terials which she brought across the plains and on down to Dixie. This was given by her descendants descend-ants in St. George. |
