Some of the sisters who have great love for Sister Zina D.

Accordingly this was decided upon and letters were written to presiding officers and some suggestions were made to them as to the program of exercises. Meanwhile her children and intimate friends planned a banquet in her honor to be given on January 31,' 1896, and the sisters who are officers in the General and SaltLake Stake Boards-- of Associations met and conferred together, as to what should be done, and how to proceed. The matter was given serious attention and after many meetings of Committees the Hotel Templeton was' agreed upon as a suitable place and arrangements were made to hold the banquet there. - Committees wrere appointed todispose ofLthe work and tlieflair was settled.
