The library collection at the Paiute Indian Center in Cedar City, Utah was updated this past year to keep current with the books, videos, and news articles that keep cropping up. Mountain Meadows seems to be a hot topic with writers and movie makers at present. |
The memorial at Carrollton was dedicated in September. Interpretative materials are being generated for display inside the Lodge. Individual plaques for each of the seventeen surviving children will be mounted on the lodge walls. Sponsors have come forth for seven of the survivors. Each plaque costs $75. Anyone who wishes to be a sponsor should speak up. Our Foundation will pick up the tab for those without sponsors. We do plan to have the plaques in place on the lodge walls before the September meeting. Some are being made now. We need sponsors for Prudence Angeline Dunlap, Nancy Huff, Joseph Miller, Mary Miller, John Calvin Miller, Felix Marion Jones, William Tackitt, and Emberson Milum Tackitt. Cheri Baker Walker is working with the Baker family to sponsor the three Baker survivors. Who would like to sponsor Nancy Huff as shown on page 4 of the NEWSLETTER? First come -- first serve! |
Interpretative materials will be incorporated into a "History in a Box" program and stored at Carrollton Lodge for access by students and historical groups. The Arkansas History Project in local schools will be refining their pilot testing of materials and incorporating the most desirable elements into a transportable curriculum unit. The curriculum unit can then be shared across Arkansas. |
Jim Fletcher has completed marking eleven of the survivor graves. Two more will be marked in the near future. Some have not yet been located. If anyone knows the location of the graves of Mary Miller, John Calvin Miller, Joseph Miller, or Nancy Huff, please help us out. We hope to get 100% of survivor graves marked. |
