About the Author

Irene Woodhouse was born in Ogden, Utah in 1923.  
She was a life-long resident of Ogden, and one of its
most remembered historians.  She received her
Associates Degree in English from Weber College,
which is now Weber State University.  She was
granted Alumni Emeritus for her work as an historian.

Her fascination with the history of Ogden prompted
her to write a weekly column for the Standard
Examiner entitled "Ogden Anecdotes".  She
interviewed hundreds of people for the column, and
her research was eventually used for the book, Ogden
Anecdotes.  

Her research over five years revealed a wealth of
information from anecdotal stories to diaries to old
photographs that gave a unique flavor and immediacy
to her writing.  Her readers find her work to be
accessible and illuminating windows into an exciting
time in American history.

Also, during the time she was writing "Ogden
Anecdotes", she wrote a weekly religion column,
which explored the rich religious diversity in the area.  
Her work for both the Standard Examiner and the
book helped her become one of the most well known
historians in the area.

Ms. Woodhouse died in 1997 in Salt Lake City, Utah.

A Note about
Ogden Anecdotes

Ogden Anecdotes was first printed in
1985.  Only 4,000 copies were printed at
that time, and the book sold out within
six months.

Twenty years later and due to continued
requests for this exceptional work,
Woodhouse Publishing, Incorporated has
reprinted the book to make it accessible
once again.
