Pioneer settlers built homes according to their economic abilities. Some produced mansions, others less spectacular structures. This small house allows us to see the complete range of possibilities open to the Spring City population. Deeded to Paul F. Kofford in 1870. Kofford sells the northern portion of the lot to Spring City Young Mens Co-op. In 1890 he sold it for three-hundred dollars. The remaining section of the lot, with the house, goes to Charles G. Kofford in that same year for fifty dollars. Paul E. Kofford built the small adobe house. Little biographical data is available concerning Kofford's life. Esshom records that he migrated to Utah in 1853 in the John Forsgren Company. |
