The
following from the journal of Rebecca Elizabeth Mace:
1896 Opened auspiciously for Utah and its
inhabitants. On the 4th [of] January 1896 President Cleveland issued
a Proclamation admitting Utah into the Sisterhood of States. As soon as the
message was received 2 oc. PM Guns were fired, Flag hoisted, Bands played,
Shouts of joy arose from the heart and lips of all, with ringing of bells and
everything which could be used to sound a note of joy was brought into
requisition. . . . never had all Utah joined in such hilarious rejoicing.
