Ida phoned from California inquiring about the events of the day. In the days that followed several telephoned who had read the paper too late to attend. I was pleased that so many of Shirley's cousins and friends were able too come." June 12, 1993 OGDEN CANYON TROLLEY (A teacher, Mrs. Sorensen, at Snowcrest Jr. High in Ogden Valley had her 8th Grade class complete a special project. This was Madeleine's contribution given to the two students assigned to learn about the trolley). Dear Pete and Nathan, I am Madeleine Marriott Harrop. I read in the Standard-Examiner your letter asking for information about the trolley that ran in Ogden Canyon. My parents, Charles Marriott and Mary Farley Marriott asked my brother, Milton Marriott, skilled carpenter, to build us a large summer home at 307 Ogden Canyon. We lived there each summer for a numbers of years in the 1920's. I was around 11 or 12 years of age when we first started living there. The back of our home faced the river and the trolley was on the north side of the river. The trolley started in Ogden City, traveled north on Washington Boulevard, then east on Canyon Road, proceeded to the mouth of the canyon, went up to the Hermitage Park (to let off or take on passengers), and then continued on to the famous, in its day, artesian wells park. At the artesian park, one could see the waters flowing from the wells. Fountains were available to drink the special, cold water which was considered 99% pure. These wells supplied Ogden City residents with their water. Even today, six of these wells now flow to supply Ogden with most of its drinking water. If additional water is needed, the plant below the dam is used to purify the reservoir water. I believe the trolley stopped at the various camps below the Hermitage to allow passengers to get off and on. The trolley ran about every 20 minutes or half hour between Ogden and the artesian wells. One trolley car would run early in the morning and then another late at night between Ogden and Huntsville. The ride in the trolley was very smooth. On holidays and weekends, the trolley cars were usually filled. Not everyone had passengers cars in that era. The Union Pacific Railroad ran one or two trains about two or three times a week up the canyon with tourists from the Eastern States who were on their way to Yellowstone National Park. On the way back from the artesian wells, they would stop for a trout or chicken dinner at the then-famous Billy Wilson's Heritage Hotel which was on the hill East of Hermitage Park. This was an added attraction for the tourists-many of whom had never seen mountains before. I hope this information will be helpful. If there are any questions about what
