Hilda's Scrapbook - - - MT. PLEASANT, UTAH
Hilda's Scrapbook is a collection of documents, pictures, and writings found in three boxes at the Relic Home, clearly marked "Hilda's". Hilda Madsen Longsdorf must have hoped that someday these documents would be published as we found little notes such as "this needs to be corrected", "please use this", and "best choice".

Christmas Shopping With Hilda ~ From Hilda's Scrapbook
Awake I have worried, fussed, fumed and planned.
Asleep, I have sought over sea and land.
Wherever I went, when I told them the price,
Clerks would smile, show sympathy and try to be nice.
I have been at the Wasatch, The Progress, and Squires
I have looked at all things a human admires.
At Gunderson's, at Biddle's and over at Pete's, too,
I asked to see their goods, both old and new.
I went to Penney's and then to the Sanpete.
I am quite sure I visited all places on Main Street.
I roamed North and South, and up and down,
Almost decided to go to some other town.
At last discouraged and in despair,
I searched mail order catalogs from everywhere.
But whenever I saw an article I thought would do,
I found that aft their price, there was Uncle Sam's postage too.
I have seen radios, automobiles, blankets and mitts,
But darned if I could find anything for only two bits.
Today I decided on this present plain and queer.
Here is wishing yo a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
