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.
