The above portrait represents baby Josephine Preston, daughter of Dr.

Alexander P. and Josephine Herrick Preston, of Rigby, Idaho. In the center

is Dr. Preston; to the left, John L. Herrick, grandfather; to the right, Hon-

orable Joseph A. West, a well-known engineer, great-grandfather, who, in

1883-7 was assistant in the superintendency and also assistant general secre-

tary of the Y. M. M. I. A., and a faithful worker for years, up to 1881, as su-

perintendent of the Weber Stake Y. M. M. I. A. John L. Herrick, who is

now president of the Western States mission, acted as secretary of the Y. M.

M. I. A. of Weber stake for ten years, and later for nearly ten years was su-

perintendent. Dr. Preston is president of the Y. M. M. I. A. of Rigby. The

li tie girl, with an ancestry of such record in the young people's organiza-

tions, ought surely also to make her mark in M. I. A. work.
