Her activities were not all musical however. As a girl in the Logan 4th Ward she was a Sunday School teacher. When we moved to the Logan Third Ward after our marriage she was selected to act as counselor to Mrs. Rebecca Eames who was the president of the Young Ladies Association. She held this position until we moved from the ward in 1903. She was also a ward Relief Society Teacher in the 3rd. Ward.
She joined the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers in 1913. Since that time she has always held some office in that organization. (President, Organist, Registrar, Chaplain, Member of County Committee, etc.)
She became counsellor in the presidency of the Ninth ward Relief Society in June 1917 and held this position for about 13 years. This required considerable time and constant attention. Almost every day there was something that needed attention over the phone or otherwise. When she was released with her president, Mrs. Minnie Jorgensen, from this position she was appointed to act as Social Service officer in the Relief Society and was later appointed Class leader in charge of the visiting teachers meetings, which position she held until 1939. Several years ago she was appointed to be one of two women in the ward who work together in giving blessings to expectant mothers.
