KAYSVILLE KINKS - #74 - FEBRUARY 1897
  • Henry H. Blood writes - "The first effect of Mrs. La Barthe's anti-high hat law was noticeable at the Kaysville Music Hall last evening. The ladies at first wore their hats as usual, apparently oblivious of the fact they were antagonizing the law, but presently it dawned on someone that the law was in force and off came the hats one by one amid subdued applause and laughter. There were a few who did not doff their head gear, but as no one raised an objection they were unmolested and the play proceeded. Well done Mrs. La Barthe !"
  • MRS. LABARTHE'S HIGH HAT BILL - Passed the Utah Legislature on February 1, 1897 by a vote of 37-2. Section 1 - Any person attending a theater, opera house or an individual place of amusement as a spectator shall remove headwear tending to obstruct the view of any other person. Section 2 - Any person violating any provision of this act shall be subject to a fine of not less than $1 nor more than $10 for each offense, upon conviction thereof.
  • MRS. EURETHE K. LABARTHE (1845-1910) a Democrat, was one of the first women to be elected to the Legislature of the State of Utah in 1896.

     On August 1, 2018 Kristine decided to begin a series of excerpts from the newspaper called These excerpts were taken from articles about local happenings/gossip/announcements etc. It tells a story and gives a feel for Kaysville back in the day. 
    Kaysville Kinks were originally published on the the Facebook group page, Our Kaysville Story.  Click on the link to join the group page.

     Kristine is an amazing lady who loves the town she grew up in, her family, and the color purple.
