General Description and Notes:
According to Alter, the Young Men’s and Young Ladies’ Mutual Improvement Associations of Hyrum published weekly literary journals largely in the interests and for the entertainment of their members during the late 1880s. The publications carried news, religious items and weather reports.
“The Knowledge Seeker” was published by the Young Men; “The Young Ladies Thoughts” and “The Evening Star” were published by the Young Ladies. Apparently, “The Evening Star” succeeded “The Knowledge Seeker.” These papers appeared under various editors, since officers in these organizations changed hands regularly.
