Robert What is said to have been one of Alice Frarys favorite songs, Abide with Me was sung at the dedication of Stories about the family vary, even information contained in newspaper articles and bits written in history books conflict. The committee sought out family members, who sent letters, pictures and clippings to help the group piece together the familys history and the history of the island. By DONNA BROWN rary hi Peak stood over the small on gathering lope Island. Gentle slopes dotted with desert flowers and brush whispered witness to the stories they gathered there to tell. The peak faces one of the worlds wonders, the Great Salt Lake, - and across Saturdays smooth waters was the reflection of the Wasatch Mountains. The guest of honor at the Antelope Island monument dedication was really no guest at all. Descendants, old friends of the family, members of the Syracuse Historical Committee, dignitaries and the press met in her yard where her children played almost a hundred years ago. Alice1 Eliza and her husband, George Isaac, built a home on the island in 1891 when Frary homesteaded 160 acres there. Although Mrs. Frary lived on the island for only six years, stories of the young mothers courage, determination and death have filtered down through generations of descendants of anyone who knew her. Phillip-Frar- y o Until late March, Mrs. Frarys grave on the island across from her garden and under an old cottonwood tree, was marked only with a small pink rock. After a ceremony of songs and story telling, the committee unveiled a monument to the r the monument marking her grave. The monument is the ohly historical marker on Antelope Island. Standard Examiner correspondent watch ReganStandard-Examine- Frary was known to be stocky and extremely strong. His wife was .frail, about 5 feet 2 inches tall. She had blue eyes and very dark hair. The couple was married in Madison, Wis. in 1859. She was a school teacher and he was an enterprising pioneer with an urge to travel west. Alice Frary desert island home and the family that lived there. It is the first historical monument to ever be placed on the island. It was those stories and a thirsty curiosity that prompted members of the historical committee to get to know the Frar-ysaid Don and Genene Rentmeister, committee chairpersons. Weve grown to love these people and we feel like were with quite George and Alice, Rentmeister s, well-acquaint- said. The committee researched the Frarys and other families who lived on the island through newspaper clippings. The Frarys were prominent people in the community so their names often appeared, said Rentmeister. The couple moved to Denver and lived there until Frary came to Salt Lake exploring. Much information about the Frarys is taken from a history written by the oldest daughter of the Frarys seven children, Grace May Frary Haskins. Mrs. Haskins, born in 1883, lived to be 93 years old. Her daughter, Lorna Haskins Bell, 75, traveled from San Diego, Calif, to attend the monument dedication. Mrs. Bell is one of Alice and George Frarys three living grandchildren. Also attending the ceremony were members of the Will and Julia Walker family who lived on a ranch four miles from the Frarys and the Will and Ida Bentley family who had traveled west with them and lived in Syracuse on the lake shore. The Frarys arrived in Salt Lake City in February of 1889. With them they brought four small children. The oldest was Guy, 8; Grace, 6; Lottie, 3; and Edgar, 1. Edgar Frary died at the age of 3 of croup. That year-fifth child was born and named Dora. a Frary had a great interest in the lake. He and a man known as Captain Davis built a small excursion steamer., Both men took up homesteads on the island and when the baby was 2 months old Frary moved his family there. We children were very happy of course, as there was lots of room to roam in, and beautiful flowers to pick in the spring and summer.. .There were beautiful trees in the canyons and in the summer we spent many hours swimming in the Salty Lake, Mrs. Haskins wrote. The historical committee has created a map from its research pf the Frary homestead. The group recently found a doorlock believed to be from the Frarys front door amongst rocks that mark the foundation of their home. The lock is mounted on the rock below the Desert Island Home plaque. Researchers have determined the approximate locations of the home, the garden, an orchard, grain fields, a barn, spring house, coop and a fresh spring.

ANN MALLORY Lakeside Review columnist Wallpaper has a tendency to scare some people, so they do without. Others have visions of getting all wrapped up, in it, literally. Even others get a headache just trying to decide what color and pattern to buy, so they chuck the whole thing. When choosing wallpaper, review a few rules and you may decide it is not as hard as you think, Before walking into a wallpaper store, you need to take with you a few things. What color do you want? If you are matching paint, make sure you take a paint sample with . i you. n What room are you doing? What other prints do you have in the room already? Measurements of the circumference of the room and wall height. If you are looking for a living room or family room, keep in mind the carpet, the draperies if ou are using the existing ones, and new fabric if getting new ones, and the color of the walls andor mouldings. small print is best with a lighter background since you wiU A 'I Decorating with Ann M. Ann Mallory Lakeside Review Columnist be spending most of your time in those rooms. A darker-colo- r background is nice for rooms you dont spend a lot of time in off-whi-te be- cause it tends to be the only thing you see the whole time you are in that room. Something light will keep the mood in the room light and easy to live with. If you are looking for a bedroom, more color is better. Bathrooms can get away with even more color because of the amount of time spent in those rooms. Patterns can be bigger in a bedroom than a family room, and even bolder and brighter in a bathroom if that is what you want. Trends seem to depict muted colors like blues, mauves, peaches and greens. Mixing prints in a room is quite easy once you learn how. Never use the same size print unless it is the same print. Coordinating wallpapers and prints to use on bedspreads and draperies look very classv. but run into money. One rule to remember it is better to use a geometric print with a floral. A stripe pattern in a room on the furniture, for example, will go nicely with a floral print on the wall with a solid color for draperies. One small thing to remember is that if you have white paint on the mouldings or walls, do not pick a paper with a cream or background. Mixing is one of the white and in the business. biggest You can ruin the whole mood of a room by mixing those two colwith white ors. Using will look like dirty white and white every time. The problem of buying quality wallpaper is not a problem at most wallpaper stores anymore. It used to be you needed to know what was paper, what was vinyl, d and what was vinyl. Most papers are now vinyl coated, or all vinyl. This is wonderful when it comes to hanging and taking care of wallpaper. There are usually scrubable and very durable. They hang like a breeze when hanging them because of the ability of being taken off and on the wall until you are able to match the patterns. Then off-whi- te no-n- off-whi- te 1 paper-backe- they look nice for years and years. They dont fade or yellow like old paper wallpaper used to. Look for a pattern repeat. This will tell you how much waste there will be in order to match patterns. A smaller pattern will have far less waste than a larger pattern. This can save money too. Many patterns come with their e coordinating pattern. Sometimes you can find a floral stripe with a small overall floral print that is made to go together. These are wonderful and add a lot of character to a room without being overly busy. Many people put the busier pattern on the bottom of the wall, and the overall pattern on the top of the wall, dividing it with painted moulding. Putting the overall pattern on the top puts it at eye level and is easier on the eye. The busier one on the bottom brings your eye down and enables you to encompass the entire room quickly, adding the furniture and carpeting to your realm of vision. Borders are a big rage now and add so much to a room. They have all types to match existing papers. Buying striped paper in matching colors can also be used ready-mad- and may be quite a bit cheaper to use. Just cut along the stripe pattern through the entire roll and apply according to directions sideways. Be sure to take a look in the remnant pile for these, too. When you decide on a pattern, look for these things on the label of the roll: Prepasted: This means it already has the glue on it and all you do is dip it in water to activate it before hanging. If it does not say this, you will have to buy paste and apply it yourself. The former is much easier. Scrubable: This means it is d and the best vinyl or choice for homes with children. Strippable: This means it can be taken off the wall, mostly in one piece after it dries. This is nice if you will be redecorating a room several times while you are in the home. Most papers are. Double roll: All papers are sold in double roll lots to prevent a lot of waste. The price, however, is a single roll prince unless otherwise stated. So double the price unless otherwise stated. (This does not apply to remnants.) Some wallpapcrstores have videos to watch and to teach you how to hang wallpaper. , vinyl-coate- , 8. Mothers Day date of breakfast in Clearfield 100 years ago. Clayton Holt, a member of the Syracuse Historical Committee, was charged with the responsibility of marking Mrs. Frarys grave by his brother Antelope Island Bill Holt. Although Bill Holt had a great interest in the island and its history the promise was passed down to him by others who did not live long enough to fulfill it. Clayton Holt said the Frarys youngest son, Frank, who was the sixth of seven children, made a promise to himself to go back and properly mark the grave of his mother. Right before Frary died, he asked a friend named Lawrence Criddle to see that his will was carried out. Criddle was unable to fulfill the promise. On his death bed he asked Antelope Bill to see that a marker was placed there on the island. Before Bill Holt died a year ago he took his brother, Clayton Holt aside. He said, Clayton theres something Id like you to do. I need to fulfill a promise, he said. His brother asked him to find a rock and dig a hole and put a plaque on it about the Frary family. Weeks before Bill Holt died, he visited the island with the historical committee and discussed how the presentation of the plaque should be made. I wish my brother was here to witness whats taking place, Holt said tearfully' at Saturdays dedication. Mitch Larsson of the state Parks and Recreation Division manages the maintenance and upkeep of the island. He said this is the first of what he Ippes to be many historical monuments on there. Larsson said the state bought Antelope Island for its historical and archeological 1 1 825-770- 771-853- 3.
