Biographical History
Latter-day Saint Church Presiding Bishop, 1952-1961.
Women's organization that commemorates the pioneers coming to Utah.
The DUP was organized solely for historical, educational and public purposes and is completely non-political and non-sectarian. It is dedicated to perpetuating the names and achievements of those men, women, and children who founded our Utah commonwealth. We seek to encompass a broad scope of services, ranging from the preservation of historic landmarks to the education of thousands of school children and other citizens about their pioneer forebears.
The Daughters of Utah Pioneers strives to preserve the history of Utah's original settlers.
The Daughters of Utah Pioneers was created 11 April 1901 in Salt Lake City. The first meeting was held at the home of Annie Taylor Hyde with 46 other women of pioneer descent. The constitution says that they are "to perpetuate the names and achievements of the men, women and children who were the pioneers in founding this commonwealth by preserving old landmarks, marking historical places, collecting artifacts and histories, establishing a library of historical matter and securing manuscripts, photographs, maps, and all such data as shall aid in perfecting a record of the Utah pioneers." The headquarters are in the Pioneer Memorial Museum at 300 North Main Street in Salt Lake City. There are 185 companies in 15 states and Canada with a membership of 21,451. Any woman "over the age of 18 years, of good character, and a lineal or legally adopted descendant of an ancestor who came to Utah before the completion of the railroad on May 10, 1869," may join. The organization is involved in activities and projects including publication of historical materials such as lesson books, cookbooks, and pioneer song books; preserving landmarks; commemorating the entrance of the pioneers into the Salt Lake Valley; and museums.
