Happy Birthday to Nadine Blackett, the teacher and principle of the DUP Museum in Nephi, Utah

I am a day late and a dollar short, but wanted to say Happy Birthday to cousin Nadine Blackett of Nephi, Utah. She keeps the Daughters of Utah Pioneers museum in perfect running condition. Her mother would be very proud of her, as Birdie Jones was one of the best teachers in the Nortonville School of the 1890's. Like mother like daughter, as Nadine knows how to take people on tours of the museum and teach so they will remember the importance of our heritage. In going through our original records of the School District ledger, I was surprised to find that her father-Len Jones, worked as a janitor at the school, being paid a whopping $3.75 for the month of July, 1894. My guess in those days, school employees appreciated any nickels and dimes they could get in case it wasn't a good wheat year. Here are a couple pages from the ledger, although the writing is a little faded because of the pencil type computer entries!
