DUP History 1

David H. 'Doc' Loveless, a lifetime resident of Provo, served as the city's veterinarian. A deep-seated love of local history prompted him to collect relics from ProvoÕs past and identify historic sites around the city. Loveless (left) is seen here with Henry Cluff (center), an 87-year-old pioneer of 1850, and J.B. Walton, a 75-year-old fellow devotee of local history and a former educator. The three stand on the site of Fort UtahÕs cemetery in northwest Provo. J.B. Walton Collection

DUP History 2

Frank Dusenberry, son of former Provo mayor and educator, Warren N. Dusenberry, served as president of Provo's Sons of Utah Pioneers in 1929-1930. He, along with David H. Loveless, local contractor Peter Groneman, and others, launched a movement to build a relic hall for Provo. Soon after construction on the building began, Dusenberry, who worked at Olmstead for Utah Power and Light, was transferred to Logan. Edith Clark Dusenberry

Samuel H. Jepperson, early Provo musician and artist, painted this monochomatic depiction of what the new relic hall would look like after completion. The replica of a future pioneer farmstead stands to the left of the museum. Jepperson likely finished this painting in 1930 or 1931. It now hangs in the Provo DUP Museum near the entrance.

The Provo City Martial Band, a drum and fife aggregation, entertained the people of Provo on holidays and other special occasions. Many of these men joined the group shortly after World War I, and they played together until old age made musical retirement a necessity. David Loveless, the bandÕs standard bearer, holds the flag near the middle of the back row. J.B. Walton kneels with his fife at the right end of the front row. J.B. Walton Collection

DUP History 5

Workman razed the old Utah County Jail in 1931. 'Hotel Provo' once stood in the interior of the block bounded by Center Street and 100 North and University Avenue and 100 East. The men stacked up the brick they salvaged from the jail to reuse in the construction of the relic hall in North Park. Roland Strong Collection

DUP History 6

The Provo First Ward Meetinghouse once stood on 100 West between 200 and 300 South. Workmen razed the old building toward the end of 1932 after the current First Ward Chapel was completed. Masons used the salvaged bricks from the church, together with bricks stock piled after the demolition of the old county jail, to build the relic hall in North Park, melding church with state. Clarence Taylor Collection

DUP History 7

These distinguished guests sat near a makeshift platform in North Park's pioneer farmstead on October 10, 1931, the day the village officially opened to the public. On this day, David H. 'Doc' Loveless donated more than 350 relics and antiques to Provo city. Mr. Loveless is seated on the front row, fourth from the right. Mayor Jesse N. Ellertson is also on the front row, second from the left. Members of the Provo Martial Band stand behind the honored guests. The original buildings can still be found in the village. J.B. Walton Collection

DUP History 8

Early Provo artist Samuel H. Jepperson painted this portrayal of the pioneer farmstead in North Park before the buildings were completed. David H. Loveless apparently described to Jepperson what the pioneer buildings would look like and where they would be located. Some of the finished buildings deviated slightly from the way they were shown in the painting. Jepperson died from injuries suffered in a wagon accident several days before the Turner cabin was completed in early June 1931. Provo DUP Museum
