Show RUTH MAY FOX HONORED AT CRAFT HOUSE Pioneer Craft House's honor guest for November was Mrs. Ruth May Fox, who was honored at 3271 South 5th East last Friday. The special program included Mrs. Fox' posing as a model for Dr. Avard Fairbanks, dean of sculpture, sculp-ture, University of Utah, who sculptured sculp-tured a bust of Mrs. Fox in clay. Mrs. Fox attained her 99th birthday birth-day on Saturday and is noted as one of Utah's outstanding Pioneer women. She is a former president of the Young Women's Mutual Improvement association of the LDS church. Mrs. Fox was born in Wiltshire, England, November 15, 1853, and came to the United States as a child. She walked most of the way to Utah beside her father's ox cart in 1867, and vividly vivid-ly recalls the pioneer era of Utah. She prefers to follow current event rather than reminisce about the past. Granite high school students who acted as hostesses for the event were Kathleen and Colleen Mc-Leese, Mc-Leese, Joan Kesler, Helen Kladis, Ila Meyerhoffer, Carol Jean Morgan, Mor-gan, Carolyn Pill, Doris Holladay, Shirley Mecham, Marcele Speirs, Nancy Foy, Leora Bambure, June Smith end Carolyn Kay. Mrs. A. L. Beeley, director of Pioneer. Craft House, made the arrangements for this event. |
