Show Pg. 84 Creek. After some years Milton took out a new ditch from Canyon Creek and the lower end of the Weber Ditch was abandoned. In 1866 and 68, Ezra L. Clark, of Farmington bought the saw mill. And on the spot where it stood, just east of the river crossing, built the Weber Valley Flour Mill. About 1892 Thomas and Charles Spackman bought the Clark Mill and mill site. They tore it down and built the roller mill which is in operation still. In Feb. 1865, the people of South Morgan were organized into an ecclesiastical district with Richard Fry as President, Robert Hogg and Charles Rutner as assistants. The meetings were first held in Richard Fry’s house and afterwards in Robert Hogg’s and John Ager’s houses. In July 1877 the South Morgan Ward was organized with Charles Turner as Bishop and Thomas Lenwill and Ebenezer Crouch as counselors. Mr. Lenwill moved away from Morgan and James R. Stuart was made counselor. In 1886 Mr. Crouch moved away and Richard R. Fry became counselor. About the year 1867 Richard Fry and Charles Tucker explored the rock above Como Springs and decided that it contained a good quality of lime stone. They built a lime kiln there and manufactured a large amount of lime. Pg. 85 Early Schools in South Morgan. It was in the year 1865 that the first school was opened by Elizabeth Crouch at the residence. The next year the people undertook to build a two roomed log school house about where the Opera House is. It was under very adverse circumstances that such a work was commenced. It took a determined effort, and little by little the material was collected and the house erected. Alexander Ross was the first teacher there. About 1868 the people taxed themselves to erect a brick school house. This was built just north and west of where the present school building is. It was used conjointly for school and meeting purposes. Courts were held there. Also theatres and dances and Stake Conferences. It was heated at first by a fire place. This building served the people for fifteen years or more. This next school building, erected about 1885, was a larger and more commodious building than the first one. It was a one-room brick structure and served the people for many years, for all purposes. This one was torn down and replaced by the present five-room |
