Pg. 76 for a school house also. The first school house was built between the two settlements of North Morgan and Stoddard, about where the Shurtliff farm is. This building was moved up to North Morgan, near the site of the present school building, and was used for four or five years. William Secrist was the second teacher. He taught two months in the winter of 1865. Then Joe Darke taught about six weeks. Fred Burn taught a short time. In 1869 they erected a new building. Mr. Walcott from the east, taught there. Also Rhoda Slade, Daniel Heiner taught the two winters of 1870 and 71, and had 111 pupils the second year. A very prominent citizen in North Morgan in early days was Philemon C. Merrill. He had been one of Joseph Smith’s body guard, and a very fine, highly respected man. He had also held a prominent position in the Mormon Battalion. He was one of the first Presiding Elders of the ward. In 1877 Wyman Parker was appointed the first Bishop. Pg. 77 Springs. The two springs east of North Morgan, known in early days as the Bernett Springs, have been very valuable to the people of Morgan City. About 1864, Martin Heiner and Daniel Robison each obtained a night from the county court to a continuous stream of water, for domestic purposes, from the North Spring. The rest of the water from that spring was used to water the town lots. Each lot of one acre had a right to the whole stream for eight hours. Then the next man took it. It took eight days and 14 hours to water all the lots. In 1902, Heiner brothers built a reservoir, and with the help of other people in the ward, they laid a pipe line down to the county road. From here every man laid the pipe to his own house. They also laid a line to the cemetery. In 1869 the U. P. Railroad obtained a right to a portion of the East Spring. They built a reservoir and piped the water to this depot. About the year 1900 the Morgan Canning Company obtained a right to a portion of the East Spring for domestic purposes. They built a reservoir and laid a pipe line across the river into South Morgan. In 1925 the mayor and city council took over the line that Heiner Brothers had laid. They built a larger reservoir and laid a larger pipe. They now have a fine water system. Gorge Heiner.
