destroying the road through the canyon. Access through the canyon was not restored until the first of August. Supplies were obtained by driving oxen over the tops of the Wasatch Mountains through Hardscrabble Canyon into Salt Lake Valley. Flour was purchased from the Heber C. Kimball mills. The portion of Morgan City lying to the south and west of the Weber River was flooded by the overflowing of East Canyon Creek, forcing the inhabitants to leave their homes. The families decided to move to the south across East Canyon Creek to the base of the hills onto land owned by T. R. G. Welch. He had earlier donated it for a townsite. The move was made on a Monday, so the new settlement was called Monday Town Hollow. The incoming settlers, however, quickly outgrew the land available, and by 1865-66 most had moved back to the original site at Morgan City.8 The flood of 1862 proved that the road through Weber Canyon was a necessity. Means for its repair and maintenance had always been a constant problem. At a public meeting at Weber City 13 April 1870, the people decided to make the road up Weber Canyon a toll road "in order to protect the people of Weber Valley, who owned it, against those who persisted in using it without doing anything towards keeping it in repair." The toll was set at fifty cents for a team and twenty-five cents for each extra span of animals. Joshua Williams was designated as superintendent of the canyon road with power to call out the men and direct the work through Devil's Gate.9 From this time on, the road was kept up and made more usable. To lessen dependence on the Salt lake Valley, a gristmill was started in 1862 in Richville by George W. Taggart and two brothers, Morgan L and Henry L Hinman. Materials had to be brought in from the Wasatch Front and precisely fitted together in order for it to work in the shallow water provided by the millrace built from East Canyon Creek. Thomas Grover said that President Young came to the Richville settlement before the gristmill was in operation, After looking it over, he said to George Taggart, the builder of the mill, "It won't run. The draft is in dead water." President Young's observation turned out to be true, and the wheel had to be enlarged and sunk deeper into the moving water at the bottom of the mill race before it would run. The mill was finally completed in 1864.10 The importance of the gristmill cannot be overstated. It provided a place where the crops raised in Weber Valley could Jedediah Morgan Grant for whom Morgan was named was bom 21 February 1816 in Windsor, New York. At eighteen be served in Zion's Camp.
