Pg. 74 The year 1860 saw the last of the handcart companies in Utah, and Daniel Robison was captain of one of these companies, which was said to be very successful in its journey. In describing the hand carts Mr. Ephraim Robison says it consisted of two wheels between which were erected a box with bows and a canvas cover, much the same as a covered wagon. The tongue of the cart, about 2 ½ feet long, had a cross-piece, a task called “pushing” rather than “pulling.” It was not uncommon to see young girls harnessed up, pushing the cart along the road. As many as 4 or 5 were attached to each cart where the roads were extremely heavy or the loads large. The people built a log house to hold meetings in, and in 1864 Thomas Grover, Anthony Heiner and George Heiner were appointed school trustees. They employed Lucinda Brown to teach a summer school. This same spring, 1864, they made a water ditch from the Weber River, on the east side Pg. 75 1930 of Daniel Williams’ meadow down to the Stoddard meadow. This ditch was made nine feet wide and 18 inches deep. The people employed Daniel Williams to construct it from the river to the town, where the Robison Springs cross the road. From there every man was to make the ditch across his own land. It was completed in time to irrigate the crops and there was a nice lot of grain raised that year. The people paid Daniel Williams 200 lbs. of wheat for his work. In the winter of 1864 and 65 Jesse W. fox came up and surveyed the town. Most of the lots were on the Martine Heiner place. One lot in the center of the town was selected to build a meeting house on. In 1865 Martin Heiner built a rock house one and one half stories high. This is said to have been the first rock house in Morgan County. It is still in a very good condition (1930). The first fruit and shade trees in north Morgan were planted by Mr. Heiner. In the winter of 1868 the people quarried rock and hauled it down into town, and the next summer they built a rock meeting house, 24 x 40 feet. This was to answer
