It is getting close to Pioneer Day of 2015 and time to celebrate our "Founders Day". So how did they celebrate it in Nephi during 1941.

The following pages are taken from the journal of Alma Jones of Nephi, whose photo is also submitted. In addition, we have copied a photo of the Nephi Gypsum Mill, which includes a car that looks like about the same year of the journal entry. A photo of the old North ward is included.
