Here is Margaret's report:

"Peggy, Kathy, Kathy Uhland and I went to Beulah yesterday (July 17th) to give the presentation "The Beulah - Wetmore Connection" for the Beulah Historical Society. We drove County Road 387 that turns into North Creek Road; through the mountains and my first time on that road. Everything was green and beautiful. Really enjoyed seeing the Billington Ranch (Bill Donley's home) and the Blake School. We ate dinner in Beulah and had some really good food.

Peggy Martin spoke on the Bigelow Family, Wetmore establishment and New Hope Church & Cemetery. Kathy Uhland spoke on her Augustus A. Curtis relatives who homesteaded in Beulah. Kathy West spoke about her Jacob Alexander Betts ancestors and the Wetmore Ladies Aid Society. By the way, these two Kathy's are related! I presented information on the Bill Donley and Skip Donley, who were cousins, and their families down the line of Charles & Lizzie Donley. I also gave the story of the Flag on Mt. Nebo and the summer of homes of the George & Dorothy Watson Broome families, relating them back to Great-grandfather William A. Watson of Wetmore. The cabins are standing and are summer guest quarters now.

We took copies of our text and photos to present to their Society. We had a good time and I think we passed along some new info to them."
