History of Marriott-Slaterville City Volume XVI January 1, 2015 - December 31, 2015

Marriott-Slaterville City History September 2015 people will focus more on the good the police do rather than on the negative attention they often receive in the media. The Standard Examiner extended a "Thumbs Up" to the off-duty law enforcement officers from the Ogden Police Department who helped Lorna Huggins tear down the barn on the property she just sold in Marriott-Slaterville. They expressed appreciation for the help she received. A Monday Memories article featured in the Standard Examiner on Monday, September 28, 2015 spotlighted the literary contributions of four people whose works are cherished as part of Marriott- Slaterville's history. Ida Marriott Kyle wrote an autobiography of her life and where she grew up in Marriott. She and her sister, Madeleine Marriott Harrop, were granddaughters of Teresa Southwick and John Marriott, early pioneers of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who founded the community of Marriott. Madeleine wrote a 56-page biography of her father, Charles Arthur Marriott which depicted family life and true friends. The wife of Charles, Mary Agnes Farley Marriott, added a literary contribution describing her life on the family farm and special occasions. The article goes on to explain that Marriott-Slaterville didn't always have a hyphenated name. The Weber County city was incorporated in July 1999 in a merger of the earlier unincorporated communities of Marriott and Slaterville. The new name was the result of co-founders John Marriott and Richard Slater.
