FENCES The first fences that were used in Morgan were brush fences. They were made by driving stakes into the ground about two or feet apart and then weaving brush and willows in between. As the fence grew the men stepped in and tramped the brush down with their feet, making it tighter and more secure. These old fences served the purpose for which they were made, but they were crude and ugly. William Smith tells us of an attractive brush fence that was built in Bountiful by his friend and neighbor, William Boulton, and his two sons. They were enclosing their door-yard and Mr. Boulton who was naturally a lover of neatness and beauty decided to make the best of what he had. They cut their stakes an even length and drove them into the ground in the usual way. Then the boys went into the canyon and got loads of willows and brush while the father pains¬takingly wove them into the fence turning all the heavy butt ends in the same direction and carefully covering them each time with the next layer of brush. Then it was tramped down and all unsightly spots were worked into the center leaving the outsides as smooth and even as possible. When the fence had nearly reached the top of the stakes the boys went into the canyon again and brought in two loads of very small birch saplings and these were woven into the fence, over the stakes and into the fence again on the other side, carefully covering up all the heavy ends, thus making an attractive finish and binding the fence down, adding much to its durability. Mr. Boulton's brush fence was the talk of the town and the show place for miles around. WORM FENCES Later came the worm fences. They were made of poles and they followed a zigzag line and were built up in very much the same way as a log house is. The ends of the first poles were placed on rocks to raise them above the ground to prevent rotting. The poles were also notched at the ends to make them fit together securely. When the fence reached the desired height, they put in what was called the stakes and rider. This consisted of stakes driven into the ground, one on each side of the fence where it was joined. The stakes extended twelve or fourteen inches above the fence, and were driven in on a slant so that they crossed just above the fence. Into this cradle, formed by the crossed stakes, they laid another pole, Thus binding the fence securely together. LIME The lime industry was important in Morgan County in the early pioneer days. There were two kilns just a short dis¬tance apart. One was owned by Daniel Williams who had a very good quality of lime rock, and he burned much of the lime that was used in the construction of the RailRoad along the Weber river. It was used for building bridges, culverts and found¬ations for railroad buildings, etc. The other kiln was first owned by Timothy Metz,. Later it was purchased by Charles Turner. Mr. Turner records in his journal that he began making lime in 1872. He tells of spending several days getting out rock with which to line the kiln and that the industry was carried on quite extensively in Morgan County. He mentions in his journal that at one time they shipped a car load of lime to a Mr. Dunford at Evanston, Wyo. and also 150 bushels to the Rocky Mountain Coal Co.
