New settlers included the families of Peter Nielsen, Peter Ander¬son and Alfred Bohman. Peter Nielsen was the first shoemaker in town. The first postoffice in Peterson was in the home of Mrs. Alice Peterson Boyden and was located in the main part of the settlement west of the Weber River. The year was 1864 and mail service was poor until the coming of the Union Pacific Railroad. Later on Reinhardt Olsen carried mail throughout the County, a job he held for many years. In stormy weather the roads were almost impassable, but the mail was delivered, rain or shine, sometimes on horseback, sometimes in a two-wheeled cart. In 1867 1855 the road around Horseshoe Bend was completed with Jedediah Morgan Grant, father of President Heber J. Grant, assisting in its construction. Morgan County was named for Jedediah Morgan Grant. In the beginning a charge of 50 cents per team was made to help maintain the Canyon road. The Union Pacific rail line went through in 1868-69. Sawmills were operated in the Valley by Joshua Williams, Roswell Stevens, David B. Bybee, the McLaines and others. Later on John Heber Robinson operated a sawmill on Peterson Creek. The first Sunday School was organized in 1862 with Joshua Williams as Super¬intendent. The first Relief Society was organized in 1869. Peterson's first flag was made by the Relief Society women in 1873. The last time it was flown was 11 November 1918, at the close of World War I. Flown from the flagpole on "The Peak' at that time, it is now preserved in the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers Building in Salt Lake City. Church meetings were conducted in a one-room building separated for classes with curtains hung on wires. POSTMASTER REINHERDT OLSEN SORTING MAIL 355
