Chorister Mary Beth Andreasen told the group of the many ways to incorporate music into the home setting.

Helen Miner gave a history of the Wainwright Bakery that was located on Main Street and was part of the Springville business community for 35 years. William Wainwright, founder and owner, was born in England and came to Salt Lake in 1903.

In 1906 He moved to Sringville and started the first more modern bakery. He had the best cracked wheat bread and sold six loaves for 25 cents. He later opened a cafe and had the first gas range in the city.

Sharing personal family history stories is part of the DUP organization. Donna Robertson gave the story of her great-grandmother, Nancy Bailey Steele, who was born in Pennsylvania in 1830. When she was a little girl her family lived in Nauvoo and she was a friend of the Prophet Joseph Smith’s daughter and often played their house.

She remembered one occasion when they were playing together and Smith came up to her and told Nancy he would give her a prophecy. He told her that she would go west with the saints and raise a family there. She did indeed come to Salt Lake and had 14 children of her own.

Nancy also told her family that when the prophet died she remembered all the people were crying and wanted to touch his body as it passed by on the wagon.

She said it seemed like even the oxen were moaning. She passed these stories on to her family and left a large posterity when she passed away in Goshen at age 91.

Betty Diamond gave a history of the Salt Lake Theatre. Brigham Young, being a man of vision, knew the pioneers needed entertainment as well as spiritual leadership.

The pioneer-built Social Hall in downtown Salt Lake was the first theatre and center for entertainment in the Mormon settlement.

It was built in the early 1850’s and stood for nearly a century before being torn down. The Salt Lake Theatre itself was under construction in 1861 and was destined to become world famous as a center of theatrical performances in Western America.

It was completed in 1862 and stood for nearly 70 years. The interior was quite elegant and also accommodated an orchestra.

The next meeting of the camp will be Nov. 13 at 509 N. Main. Visitors are always welcome.
