In the corner west of the state highway and south of what is now known as Pioneer Road, the home of the writer is located. Title to the small acreage of land on which the house stands was acquired in the early days of the settlement by my father, William Wheeler Sr., who purchased it from Henry Bowns for $25. The family like others at that time had a hard struggle to make a living. The early years of the older children were spent under the roof of a humble log cabin which good fortune has permitted to remain through the years a cherished part of the estate. The old building, after serving as a home for our family for approximately thirty years was replaced in 1887 by the brick structure which is the present home. (See Fig. 4-1). Times and conditions have brought amazing changes in affairs of our community, but many old landmarks still remain the same. Leland Brown, a resident of our ward for only a few short years, lives in the home that originally belonged to John Stanger. This part of the old Stanger estate borders the Wheeler property to the west and like many early homesteads, has been possessed by a number of owners since it was first settled. In the corner of Pioneer Road and the street leading south past the meeting house (old), below Mr. Brown's residence, John Neil (better known to old residents of our settlement as Dad Neil) and his son Jackie lived in a small adobe house. The ruins of which is still vivid in the recollection of the writer. The road leading south from Mr. Wardell's home at 2100 W. 300 N. past the church was early established as the center and dividing line of our settlement, the wisdom for which will be recognized as an account of later develop-ments of our community took place. Families that located in the south part of the upper half following westward below the "Utah General Depot" and north of Second Street were those of Adolph Layman (See Fig. 3-9, 10). and Hans Jensen (See Fig. 3-11,12). Mr. Layman lived for many years in a small log cabin which was replaced several years ago by the brick structure in which a son-in-law, Henry Meyerhoffer and his family lived and at present is being lived in by a grandson of Henry's Milo Meyerhoffer* Mr. Jensen lived in the house and owned the small farm located in the corner joining Mr, Layman's place, property that now belongs to Jeffery Dinsdale. Mr. Dinsdale's father Raymond Dinsdale bought the property from Mr. Jensen. Opposite Mr. Layman's residence, south of Second Street, Steven W. Perry, a pioneer of 1853, and a stalwart member in our church, lived in a small log cabin erected on a small tract of land he entered after settling here. Mr. Perry was one of the few enterprising men among the early settler. His holdings were represented in sizable tracts of land which he entered and divided and sold in small farm-size tracts. He could have established a home on land he entered nearer the center of the settlement, but it is evident that the place where he first located and lived during the major part of his life had greater luring aspects. The small tract of land on which the log cabin stood was part of Steven's estate inherited by a daughter, Alice -20- (Fig.3-10) Henry C. Meyerhoffer (Fig. 3-9) Adolph Layman Home L.to R.
