working at the DUP museum
After working at the Daughters of Utah Pioneer Museum for the last
two weeks, I've become accustomed to the pace at which the museum
works. It truly is a valuable experience to work at a museum. This
museum in particular is an incredible place to work at. Everyone that
works is a volunteer even the president. The team is a dedicated, fun,
loving group of individuals that spend their time creating an
opportunity for families and the community members to learn about their county's history. They welcome everyone that wants to learn about the
pioneers and create wonderful memories.
We had an exciting visitor come to the museum today. A reporter from the local news paper stopped by to feature us in the local news paper this coming Saturday.
The museum has a quilt that they set up in the basement. It is open for any visitor to sew on. The only catch is that it is sewn just like the pioneers would have sewn it, by hand with a needle and thimble.
It was fun to sit down for a while in a circle working on this quilt. The reporter was there taking photos of us and asking question about the quilt and the museum. It is really entertaining to sit in a circle with the ladies at the museum that day. We had a lot of laughs and I learned so much.
One of the things that where told was the tradition of how to quilt. In the time of the pioneers when the Indians would sew a quilt they would on purpose flip a square and sew it upside down. This was a tradition in the culture that the pioneers picked up. The upside down this was a symbol that nothing was perfect except God. It was exciting to learn about the adopted tradition.

Miles Goodyear Book
Dee Halverson was our special guest on June 25th. Mr. Halverson was commissioned by the Weber County DUP to compile the booklet in 1995, which was right around the time that the cabin that was built by Miles Goodyear in 1845, was restored. The cabins history and renovation are described in the book.
Mr. Halverson was on hand to sign copies of the booklet that he wrote. He will also be at the July 25th celebration at the Museum. If you would like him to personally sign one of the booklets with your name he would be delighted to on that date.

Queen and Attendants 2016
Saturday, June 25th we crowned the new queen and attendants from the Far South Center Company. The queen is Renee Warner, 1st attendant is DaLane Miller, and the 2nd attendant is Beverly Heslop. This year is our 66th year of having a Weber County DUP Queen and attendants.
RENEE WARNER
Renee married Dale J. Warner (deceased) and they had 5 children, 13 grandchildren, and 26 great-grandchildren. She has been a member of Daughters of the Utah Pioneers for 30 years but has attended meetings for 40 years. During that time she held many positions including Camp President, Company President, and is currently serving as the Secretary of the Weber County Daughters of the Pioneer’s museum board. Not only has she enjoyed the service, she loves the Daughters that she has been privileged to serve with and have fun times with. She is honored to be the Queen representing this great organization during the celebration that Ogden has during Pioneers Days and looks forward to the time of celebration with eager anticipation.
DALANE MILLER
DaLane Miller was raised in Heber City and went on to the University of Utah for one year and was majoring in business, where she worked at State Farm in the Insurance Claims Department to earn money to go back to the University. Then she met the love of her life, Tom Miller (Thomas J Miller). They had six exceptional children who all married in the Salt Lake Temple and have given them 25 most precious grandchildren with 7 great-grandchildren and 2 on the way. She joined DUP in 1964 and belonged to Camp Sego Lily in Weber County until it was disbanded in 2015. She then went to Camp Sego Lily Delight and is now in Camp College Heights. Right now she is enjoying being 'a Traveling Nanny' to grandchildren in Ogden and Riverton, UT, enjoying fourth Sunday Birthday dinners each month with all of the family together, and of course, DUP and serving on the Weber County Far South Center Company Board as the Museum person which involves being at the museum to serve which is a delightful job.
BEVERLY HESLOP
Beverly Heslop was born in Ogden, UT, and has lived in Ogden all her life. She married Ivan J. Heslop who passed away in 2005. They had 5 children, 18 grandchildren, and 15 great-grandchildren. She joined DUP 1964, as a charter member of Camp College Heights and has served in every office of the camp over the years and in several positions on the Weber Far South Center Company Board for the past 15 years, with 12 of those years as Company Treasurer. She is honored to be chosen as an attendant to represent the DUP in this year’s July 24th celebration. (Picture - DaLane Miller, Renee Warner, and Beverly Heslop.)
Summer Activities 2016
Story telling time has been really interesting. We learned how long it took to get to the different places as we played/acted it out with blankets; what a wonderful example it was. The children that participated really got the vision of the concept which they will remember always. Then we learned about all the things that the pioneers went through by playing a snake game and then talking about all the snakes and what they did with them. The story of the crickets and the seagulls was so good and the children will now be prepared to pass it down to others. The discussion about Sego Lilies was helpful to emphasize how important they were when they came across the plains to survive.
The next day story telling was about the Malan family and Malan Basin. Just over a hundred years ago, the Malan family built a small hotel, sawmill, seven log cabins, and a club house.
We had a really good time with the Bread Making activity. Ranee Peterson did a wonderful job teaching all the people that came to the two sessions. There was a total of 52 people that attended. We had groups of all ages: boys, girls, and mothers. They loved the experience that they had learning to make the bread and being able to take a loaf home to rise and then eat. The butter making was so much fun for them and they were surprised how good it tasted.
