1910 Payson Homecoming Jubilee

We’d love to be able to ID the early Paysonians pictured in this grainy promotional piece for Payson City’s Homecoming Jubilee and Carnival in 1910. J Frank Pickering may have produced this flier, so there may be a few people from his family tree included among the models. If you recognize anyone, please share their name with us — paysonchronicle@gmail.com.

Our American Story

PICTURED: The Payson Chronicle listed service men and women from Payson, Spring Lake, Santaquin, Elberta, Genola, and Goshen — seven hundred people — serving in World War II. Sponsored by local businesses, the list appeared on the front page of the newspaper's February 11, 1944 edition.

The 250th anniversary of our nation is not only a time to look back, but also to look forward. Many see 2026 as an opportunity to confront the country’s imperfections while honoring its resilience. Conversations about democracy, equality, and freedom are as vital today as they were in 1776.

Join the conversation.

We want to know what being an American means to you. What are your hopes for our nation’s future? 

Send us your American story in essay form, as an original poem, or composed in lyrics to a song—all for consideration of publication in The Payson Chronicle in the weeks leading up to America's 250th birthday celebration.
