An out-growth of the Relief Society of this County are the associations for young People. Several years ago, before there were any such organizations as now for Mutual Improvement, Apostle Richards and Mrs. Jane S. Richards inaugurated a series of meetings for the young gentlemen and ladies of the community which were so beneficial in their results, that they have been continued until the present time—though now under the names which follow in the two succeeding titles:

The organization of this Association was effected on the 15th day of June, 1877. The following were the officers of the Ogden City Society: Jos. A West, President; David Kay, First Counselor; Moroni Poulter, Sec ond Conselor [sic]; E. T. Myers, Recording Secretary; R. P. Harris, Corresponding Secretary; Willard Farr, Treas-urer; Willard James, Librarian. Previous to that time an association existed in Ogden City, which met once a week in the old City Hall. This organization was under the charge of Apostle Franklin D. Richards, and was organized on the 20th day of April, 1873.

There are now in Weber County twenty-one associations with an enrollment of about 800 members. All the associations are presided over by a Central Board consisting of a superintendent, two counselors, two secre taries, and a treasurer. Each society has a president, two counselors, a secretary, a treasurer, and in societies where a library is found, a librarian. The first Central Board was organized in April 1878, and consisted of the following:

Joseph A. West, Superintendent; A. C. Brown, L. A. Herrick, Counselors; Washington Jenkins, Recording Secretary; C. C. Richards, Corresponding Secretary. Z. Ballantyne, Treasurer. The present Central Board, which was organized in January 1882, consists of Edward H. Anderson, Superintendent; L. A. Herrick, Zechariah Ballantyne, Counselors; A. D. Chambers, Recording Secretary; Angus T. Wright, Corresponding Secretary; W. S. Harris, Treasurer. The latter was appointed treasurer in January 1883, instead of John L. Wilson who had held that position until then. In the County there are ten libraries belonging to the associations, consisting of about five hundred volumes of valuable works. The Central Board visit among the associations from time to time and various methods are adopted to make the meetings interesting and instructive. The exercises are of a varied nature, consisting of lectures from the Bible, and other Mormon works, science, biography, history, and answering questions. There are fifteen manuscript papers published in the County among the associations, which contain from time to time interesting sketches no [sic] miscellaneous subjects by members of the associations. Every three months, a conference of all the associations is held in the Ogden Tabernacle.

Following are the names of the Presidents of the various branches of the Y. M. M. I. A. in Weber Stake of Zion:

The idea of organizing an association for the instruction of those of tender years originated with the Relief Society. These associations have for their object the in-struction of the children of the Latter-day Saints in religious, moral, and mental principles.

The Central Board of the Primary Associations of Weber Stake was organized June 18, 1880. The officers for the County are: Mrs. Josephine R. West, President; Mrs Elizabeth Y. Stanford and Miss Rosalthe Canfield, Counselors; Mrs Elizabeth N. Hill, Secretary; and Miss Emily J Newman, Treasurer.

There are twenty branch associations, the Presidents of which are named as follows:

Situated as Ogden is, at the junction of five railroads, this Lodge has been called on largely for the exercise of that most truly Masonic virtue—charity; and it has been given with no niggard hand.
