Fifteen women from the Uinta Wyoming Daughters of Utah Pioneers Company attended the International Society Daughters of Utah Pioneers Convention in Layton, Utah, on Oct. 14.  

An election meeting was held prior to the general meeting. Serving as election delegates from Uinta Wyoming Company were Vicki Kennedy, Alice Hughes and Kristin Hopkin.
