VICTORIAN SCRAPBOOKING

The tops of candy boxes, cigar boxes, calendars, etc. were collected and put in scrapbooks. These three are all embossed 3 dimensional designs. The scanned image does not do them justice. The colors are warm and beautifully added to the over-all effect. It is hoped you will use them in some of your scrapbooks, as I plan on doing. These particular pictures are taken from Maggie Peel Ericksen's Scrapbook.

Wilhemina Morrison Ericksen

Wilhemina was born in Ephraim. Came to Mt. Pleasant with her parents, William and Margaret F.C. Morrison in 1859. She spent her early childhood living in the Mt. Pleasant Fort. When she was a teenager, she learned telegraphy and was a telegraph operator, working in the home of Bishop William S. Seely. She later married Henry Ericksen, who built Ericksen Meat and Grocery along with his brother, Alif. Wilhemina grew up following the example of her mother, Margaret F.C. Morrison, serving as a Relief Society President and then became the first Stake Relief Society President. One of her duties was to dress and prepare the bodies of the people of that time for burial. We will sometime in the future include her entire biography.

Laundry And Cigar Store

This is a store that was once located on the North side of Main Street, somewhere between State Street and 100 West. The sign on the left reads ? Laundry. the Sign on the right reads Rolph Cigar Manufacturer

Scrapbooking in the Early 1900s

One of the favorite pastimes of young ladies in the early 1900s must have been to collect fancy artwork from cigar and candy boxes or calendars and put them in a scrapbook. Here are three darling examples from the scrapbook of Maggie Ericksen Peel. Carrie Nielsen also collected postcards and valentines. We have already shown some of her collection. We'll show more of hers at a later time.

Another of Alice Hafen's Class Reunion

This is another of Alice Hafen's Class Reunion pictures. This one was taken with the spouses, and it was held at Snow College. I am not going to try to identify these people by name as there are too many. Alice's eyes are going bad and it is hard for her to recognize everyone. If you are familiar with anyone and can help identify them, please do.
