Charles Turner of the South Morgan Ward was asked to conduct the meeting. Elder Penrose explained, "Two weeks ago we were here at your quarterly conference and we suggested to the Presidency and High Council that on account of North Morgan not having a house to meet in it would be better to unite the wards. After this matter was laid before the Presidency and high council they voted for the proposition and the reason why it was not made public was that the matter had to be presented to the First Presidency and Apostles for their approval and because I and Brother McKay were present at your quarterly conference we were sent here to attend to the matter. Now we are here this afternoon for the purpose of amalgamating the two wards with a presiding Elder in Stoddard."'7 Bishop Charles Turner, of the South Morgan Ward, and Bishop George Bramwell, of the North Morgan Ward, were then respectively called on to speak. Bishop Turner exhorted the people to be faithful and stated that he was willing to be released. Bishop Bramwell stated that he had suggested over two years ago to Elder McKay that n hM chat, 'be two W2X<^S should be united into organ ape Qne ^ ^ ^^ Qf ajj He tnen gg^j the people of North Morgan to support the consolidation of the two wards. Elder Penrose then released the two bishops and presented the name of Alonzo Francis to be the Bishop of the new Morgan Ward. Bishop Charles Turner was then presented to the people and sustained as a patriarch.18 On 17 June 1910, twelve men with ten teams began excavating the site for a new meetinghouse in North Morgan. The building was completed and dedicated Sunday, 15 June 1913 by President Joseph F. Smith.19 Before the dedication the Morgan Ward was again divided and the Saints living on the north side of the Weber River were again organized into the North Morgan Ward, while the organization on the south side of the river remained under the name of the Morgan Ward instead of restoring the former name South Morgan. Before the construction of the North Morgan church, most of the baptisms in the stake were performed at Como Springs or other outdoor locations. When the North Morgan church was constructed, a large baptismal font was included in the plans and was to double as a swimming pool for the youth in the ward, A group of deacons especially enjoyed this privilege. Normally they would receive the required permission from the bishop before a swim; however, there were some days, as Patriarch Russell Rock recalls, when the temptation was too great, and he and the other boys would slip through a basement window and enjoy a cool swim.20 Because of increased growth and continual changes in ward boundaries the following letter, dated 6 August 1912, was sent out to the various stakes 9^
