Briefly describe the principal building, additions or alterations and their dates, and associated outbuildings and structures. Use continuation sheets as necessary: The Spring Lake School was constructed in 1923 in a combination of Neoclassical and PWA Moderne styles. Neoclassical characteristics include a symmetrical facade; engaged pilasters; raised basement; uninterrupted cornice and extended formal entrance. PWA Moderne characteristics include symmetrical facade, smooth wall surfaces, flat roof, projecting pavilion, framed entrance, and an angular geometric decorative pattern at the parapet wall. The walls are regular red brick. The fenestration pattern is symmetrical, with classical proportions. The extended entrance is constructed on a raised concrete stepped platform, with recessed double doors. There is a narrow horizontal band of concrete on all elevations at the top of the parapet wall. A wooden cornice line also runs around the perimeter of the building approximately two feet below the parapet. Some of the original windows have been replaced or boarded. The remaining windows are triple hung with an eight-over-eight-over-eight pattern. There is an addition on the rear of the school. The addition has a raised wood floor on a concrete block foundation and a corrugated metal shed roof which is supported by round metal poles. Sections of the foundation have worn away and the metal roof has rusted. The building is secured, and the accessible windows are boarded so it is not possible to see inside.

The Spring Lake School is significant for its contribution to the education of the children of the small town of Spring Lake. The school is a built record of the growth of the popUlation in the southwest portion of Utah County. The Spring Lake School also contributes to the record of 1920's Neoclassical structures that were popular across the country in the early part of the twentieth century. The use of the Neoclassical style in in·s titutional and public buildings played an important role in the American interpretation o.f the world as an established, ordered and safe place. The town of Spring Lake was settled in 1859, and named for its proximity to a small lake. There were many springs in the hill area about three miles south of Payson; the Payson farmers dammed these springs as well as mountain streams to create a water supply for their west fields. 1 As a result, a reservoir (Spring Lake) was created. In 1859 James Pace pioneered at Spring Lake, and with James Butler built the original part of the forty room 'mud castle' which in 1861 he sold to Joseph E. Johnson. 2 The town was originally called Spring Lake Villa 3 , after this adobe mansion where polygamist Joseph E. Johnson lived with his five wives and many children. Johnson was responsible for publishing one of the first newspapers in the Utah Territory, and the first newspaper in Payson. On February 9, 1863 the first issue of The Farmers' Oracle was printed containing eight sheets with three columns to a page. The paper was published at Johnson's villa on the first and third Tuesday of each month. 4 Johnson had previously owned and edited the Omaha Arrow, the first paper published in the Nebraska Territory from 1851 to 1854. He also edited the Crescent City Oracle and the Council Bluffs Press. The first school class in Spring Lake was held in one of the rooms in Johnson's large adobe Villa . In 1874 the LDS Church constructed a small school house. It served as a meeting house and amusement hall as well as a school. The school district was soon organized, with Don Babbit and Frank Johnson as trustees. In 1897 a new school house was built. This was replaced sometime between 1901 and 1921, when a new three room school was built on land west of the lake. S The Spring Lake School which stands today was constructed on this same ground in 1923. This land originally belonged to Don Babbit, one of the original settlers of the town of Spring Lake. Babbit arrived in 1863 and settled in the northeast part of the village. He was appointed town constable in 1876, one of the first civil officers of Spring Lake. 6 Babbit received a patent for the land from the United States in 1873. In 1904 Don Babbit sold the land to the Spring Lake School District #7 . In 1920 the land was sold by the Spring Lake School District to the Nebo School District 7 . The existing building was constructed by the Nebo School District. In approximately 1990 the building was sold to a private individual. Since then it has changed hands three or four times. One man who owned the building used to keep bees in it. Today the building is owned by Paul & Phyllis King who live on Spring Lake Road in Payson, The current owner has no iItlJIlediate plans for the building. 8 Today (1997) the school stands vacant and boarded, but generally in good condition. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Dixon, Madoline C.

Dixon PE'I'EETNEET TOWN, A HISTORY OF PAYSON, UTAH 18 Camp Douglas was established in Utah in 1862 when Gen. Patrick Conner and his troops reached this place. (Conner was later called Father of Utah Mining). California and Nevada men stopped in Utah when headed east to fight in the Ci vil War and a rumor arose that Brigham Young and his counselors were to be taken by the federal troups. A fortress was erected south of the Lion House in Great Salt Lake City. Guns and cannons were stationed in the avenues which afforded an overlook of the city. No actual clash took place, however, according to word that was received in Payson. Conner later left the army and became an Indian fighter in Idaho, then went into mining and politics, establishing the Liberal Party in Utah. 1863 II " I Benjamin Franklin Stewart was elected mayor of Payson in elections held February 9, 1863. He served the term of 1863-64 and later was re-elected to serve the term of 1865-66. Mayor Stewart had been a member of Brigham Young's original company of 1847 pioneers. He arrived in Payson in March, 1851, and immediately identified himself with the interests of the colony. He was the first justice of the peace in the Payson precinct and claimed to have built the first sawmill for pines in Utah County. The town of Benjamin, a few miles to the north of Payson, was named after him because of the leadership he displayed in establishing, that place. That same year, 1863, the Rock School, sometimes called the Nebeker School, was built at an . address later to be known as 289 North Second West. 1864 Effects of the Civil War These were trying times. The North and South sections of the United States were engaged in a bloody strife in the Civil War. And though far from the fields of battle, the settlers often learned of the death or injury of loved ones by way of longdelayed letters. . The Indians were on the warpath and continuously ran off the settlers' stock. Hatred and fear eventually caused Chief Arapeen to join forces with Chief Black Hawk and through various incidents the Black Hawk War developed. In August, 1864, the people anticipated a scarcity of all kinds of foodstuff, and agreed in common with the people of the entire territory to hold produce at the prices here named: wheat, $5 per bushel; flour $12 per hundred weight; oats, $3 per bushel; barley, com, onions, $4 per bushel; beans, $10 per bushel; potatoes, $2 per bushel; butter, 69 cents per pound; cheese, 50 cents per pound and eggs, 40 cents per dozen. Samuel Worsencroft came to Payson in 1864 and opened a Tin Shop. He made stovepipes, tin cups, baking pans, etc. I 'I An Early Newspaper Established Joseph E. Johnson established a semi-weekly newspaper, "The Farmers Oracle" at his residence in Spring Lake Villa. This was one of the first newspapers in Utah Territory. He had previously owned and edited the "Omaha Arrow," first paper published in Nebraska Territory, 1851-54. He had also edited the "Crescent City Oracle" and the "Council Bluffs Press." The Adobe School Built That year, 1863, the problem concerning construction of one or more schoolhouses was resolved. The people agreed on the subject and a single building was constructed on a hill in the southern suburbs of the city (Main at Third South Street). This "large and commodious building" was known as the Square School. It was used for some 21 years. 1865 The Black Hawk War Benjamin F. Stewart was re-elected and served as mayor the term of 1865-66. He was in office while the community was involved in the Black Hawk War, which was centered south of Payson. During the winter of 1864-65 a smallpox epidemic had broken out among the Indians in the vicinity of Manti. A large number of them had died. The Indians believed the whites to be in league with the Devil and had caused the sickness. They set out to kill all the white men. Payson was now under little less than martial law. Every man was required to attend roll call on the public square at sunset and no one was allowed to go away from home without permission of the post commander, Col. W. C. McClellan. A strict military guard was kept day and night all through the summer. CHAPTER XII TIIEWATER Culinary Water The first Payson pioneers dipped water from the creek and carried it to their wagons and cabins for culinary use. Later, they dug a community well in the center of the fort, but continued to use the creek water for various uses, since it ran through the fort. Later, kitchen-side wells became a common sight on every city lot. Rock lined, they were railed for safety and equipped with a bucket, rope and pulley attached to a canopy held in place with poles. Finally, the wells were equipped with a hand pump. With further advancement, the pumps were placed in the kitchens and finally small bath rooms were plumbed for running water. Douglass, John and Jack Dixon,laid a line from their homes on Main and Second North streets and brought water down First east from a spring located at about First East and Second South streets. They built upstair bathrooms into their palatial homes, but were unable to get thewatertothesecond floors. Another private line was built by Charles E. Cloward Sr., Charles White, Martin Loveless, Justin A. Loveless, Fred Wilson, Otto Erlandson and others. The head ofthe line was located in a spring found in mid-block between First and Second South, Fourth and Fifth east streets. Soon after, the Douglass Perculati,n g Line Co. was organized with about twenty men holding shares. Tap water was then available for businesses and homes on both sides of Main Street from Second South to Second North. Source of the water was in the springs in the edge of the "hollow" south of present Memorial Park. From this line the water ran day and night into a public watering trough located at about 39 North Main. Private Lines The water for this plulllbing was brought into the homes through "private. lines" attached to natural springs in the upper parts of town. Joseph Crook, who lived just under the "bench" near the Peteetneet School, is said to have built the first pipeline for culinary water in Payson. He sold an interest to Jacob Huber, who lived through the block, and Huber is said to have raised "the best celery in the State of Utah when he turned the water onto his garden. The water was also piped to the "font," Fifth East and Second North, where many LDS baptisms were performed. Once the people learned the principle of the system, many "private lines" were built and some exist to this day in 1973. Numerous springs existed in the hill area south of the business district. Homes and stores and shops had the advantage of running water. A few lines were built by individuals. Others were cooperati ve efforts with a few neighbors working together to dig the trench and lay the pipeline from a spring to city lots. Stanley Douglass, 83 years of age in 1973, said that in 1902 his father, Samuel The Cravens brothers also piped water from the .. hollow" to their homes on Depot Street some four blocks west of Main Street. This line was shared with many residences in the area, now enabled to enjoy indoor plumbing. These lines played an important part in the development of Payson and placed it on a par or above the modernization of other communities. But after "city water" was made available the "private lines" gradually deteriorated and their use was discouraged when a law was passed that prohibited digging into the streets to make improvements on the lines. But as late as 1954 the Cravens Line still existed when a newspaper account stated that "The Cravens Line was im proved. Drai n pi pes were installed on Nebo School District property at the new Parkview School grounds and the water was equally divided between Payson City and the Cravens Line." 118 THEWATEI Small amounts of water are carried to this day in 1913 to the city lots of Stanley Douglass on North Main, the former T. H. Wilson residence at the comer of First North and First East streets, the home of Mrs. Minnie White Douglass 440 East First South, and others. It is used mainly for the lawns, and runs steadily without ever being turned off. But where once there was sufficient water for bathroom purposes, the amount has become a small trickle. City Waterworkl System In 1910 plana were underway for construction of a city waterworks system. The city would be bonded for $50,000 to make the project possible, saidJ. E. Schwartz in an article, Payson, a City With a Future, printed in the Western Monthly and reprinted in Peteetneet Sketches by Frank Pickering. The amount actually proved to be $60,000. Dr. Louis N. Ellsworth, a city councilman, was authorized by Mayor Joseph Reece and other council members to contact Richard R. Lyman concerning such a project. Ellsworth accompanied Lyman and with him made the preliminary survey in the canyon. They mapped several good springs and also found that there was a fall of 1400 feet from the mountain springs to the center of the city. There would be plenty of force for household water and "unlimited power in fighting fires." In 1913 a reservoir was built at the mouth of the canyon. Waten from Water Cress Springs, Burr Flat Springs and Honeycomb Springs were the first to be piped into it, according to William Clayson, first superintendent of waterworks. In a letter dated June 3, 1949, he sent the following information to this writer: Early History of the Payson ety Waterworks. Waterworks committee. 1913. Wm. R. Heaton, mayor; T. F. Tolhunt.

In 1919 the waterworks system was extended, according to a statement in the Payson weekly newspaper. Mayor Henry Erlandson here reviewed progress of the city through the year which had just passed. In 1920 water meters were installed to assure a fair distribution of culinary water. That year, too, drinking fountains were placed in the business district as follows: on the east side of Main Street halfway between First South and Utah Avenue; on the west side of Main halfway between First North and Utah Avenue, and on the north .ide of Utah Avenue halfway between Main and First West streets. J. C. Ellsworth was mayor at the time. Of 1935 Mayor Philo Wightman wrote, "Our first job was completion of an additional tank at the intake of the city waterworks. This had been sponsored by Mayor Henry Erlandson and the city council and I aslted Henry to finish the job as he understood it better than anyone else." By 1954 the city had drilled a well at the northwest comer of the race track. Main and Eighth South streets, with Tom Woodhouse holding the contract. The well produced 650 gallons water per minute. A pump was purchased at a cost of $5,329. The water outlook in Payson Canyon the spring of 1961 was the poorest in history with only 56~ of average. Measurements taken in early March at the Payson Ranger Station indicated there was a total of 31 inches of snow with 1.1 water content. This compared with average water content from 1943 to 1957 of 15.5% water content. (No snow depth on average available.) Later in the year the 12-inch deep well at the northwest comer of the racetrack grounds was reported to be producing 800 gallon of water per minute. A second well was now (1961) drilled near the swimming pool in Memorial Park. The 16-inch pipe reached 133 feet and eight inches into the earth and brought fourth culinary water at the rate of 1900 gallon or seven second feet of water per minute. Hershel Woodhouse had been awarded the contract for drilling at $14.15 per foot. tt8 PEn:ETNEET TOWN. A HIsTORY OF PAYSON. UTAH By 1970anotherdeepwell was drilled across the road from the northeast comer of the race track. All of these wells augment the culinary and irrigation systems of the city. In 1966 the Junior Chamber of Commerce built a drinking fountain near the Ubrary on Main Street. An old one a few feet south had been removed several years perviously. In 1969 a preliminary study for improvement of the city culinary waterworks systems was made by John Call Engineers Inc. and a request for funds was submitted to the Federal Housing - Urban Development Dept., Washington, D.C. The planned $459,000 project was to be financed as follows: $184,000 from the above (HUD); $125,000 from sale of revenue bonds; $150,000 from sale of general obligation bonds. Citizens approved a bond election in November. 1971, by a vote of 395-32, but due to a technicality in advertisement it was declared illegal. The people again went to the polls and on January 25, 1972, reaffirmed the election. Nothing was heard from Washington, D.C. until mid February, 1973, when a $100,000 grant was approved. Another $50,000 grant from the Four Comers Agency was approved. Plans call for a new water line from the upper springs area down the canyon to the forest boundary and a new one-million gallon storage tank to be placed at the mouth of the canyon to augment the two already there. Automatic well control mechanism will be installed to~aintain water level in the tanks. Flow of springs and fencing around them will be improved. lrrisation The colonists at Peteetneet (Payson) were among the first to use irrigation as a means of watering their crops. Only three years earlier, Brigham Young's pioneers of 1847 had been some of the first Anglo Saxons to use irrigation in the North American continent. So it was that when John C. Searle plowed the first irrigation ditch in Payson, he was among the first in the New World to try this method of turning water onto arid lands. He set his plow, hitched to either Duke or Dime, Buck or Bright and turned the earth in a furrow, heading north from the pioneers' first campground. This would later be known as the comer of Forth West and Fourth North streets. This ditch was never changed and came to be known as Field Ditch #4. It is still in use in 1973 and carries waters from the canyons to fields and meadows north and west of Payson. The initial use of the ditch was tatum Peteetneet Creek to gardens and fields to be tilled by the pioneers. But the creek grew shallow by mid summer. As the season advanced, it was neceuary to drive the livestock to the mouth of the canyon to find sufficient water for them to drink. Within a few months after their arrival, the first seventeen families believed the water supply too low to support additional settlers. Thus it was that they directed newcomers to the springs three miles east of Peteetneet. The situation was serious, more settlers were coming into the colony almost every week, and the people began to look about for means of-developing additional water. In 1854 Mayor David Crockett (who had been sent to Salem on his arrival in 1851) and other city officials caused a dam to be built at the spring where Spring Lake Villa would be established three miles south of Payson. Water could be stored in this man-made lake and used as needed. It was channeled through what has always been known as Spring Creek and used to irrigate lands southwest of Payson. By 1860 a watermaster had been appointed for the first time and irrigation ditches began to crislcross the town. Peter Winward was perhaps the first watermaster and served in this capacity for many years. Schedules for "water turns" were handed out every spring and property owners tumed the water into their city lots one after another. The amount of water received was apportioned to the amount of land owned. This custom is unchanged to this day in 1913. Boundaries of the community then reached only to what would later be known as Third North Street, but in other directions reached to Seventh West, Ninth East and Eighth South. This excluded the entire southeast quarter of town which was then unoccupied by homes. Only a strip near the business district, along what would later be called South Main Street, was occupied. In 1861 men of the community answered a call from their leaders and dug a waste water ditch from the mouth of the canyon to the west, where a natural reservoir existed. The ditch carried off hJgh waters in the springtime. preventing damage through flooding. THE WATER. Salem Canal The Salem Canal, which brought some 2,000 acres of fertile land under irrigation. was completed in June 1869. The plan for a canal to channel water from the Spanish Fork River to lands between Salem and Payson had originated in the mind of Lyman Curtis some eleven years prior to the date of completion. However, it too.k .considerable ti~~ ~or him to convince his fellow citizens of the feasibilIty of such a venture. Lyman Curtis had been a member of Brigham Young's original 1847 band of pioneers. He had stayed a year in Salt Lake City and then was sent to aid the Southern Indian Mission, reached only by Indian trails. During his mission many roads were built, in fact, his wagon was the first to roll across Black Ridge near St. George. Extensive canal systems were built and the foundations of future towns were laid. Irrigation dams were built on the Santa Clara River, the Virgin Ri ver and the Muddy River, then re-built after sudden rains washed them out. An irrigation system was built by which the Indians cultivated about 200 acres of land. Lyman Curtis planted and raised the first field of cotton in Utah's Dixie. Mer four years at the southern Mission he was released and returned to the central part of Utah. where he was attracted to a small community located halfway between Payson and Spanish Fork. The half-a-dozen families living there had built a dam across a small stream so as to form a pond for irrigating about 400 acres. Appropriately, they called the colony "Pond Town." Curtis noted that the few houses were located in the center of hundreds of acres of fertile soil. He devised a transit and made a survey, the results of which indicated that a canal could be built from the Spanish Fork River to carry irrigation water to the fields of Pondtown and Payson. It would be a difficult canal to build, but he had the experience of the Indian Mission back of him and determined it could be done. There were many who had grave doubts that such a canal could be built. but Lyman's brothers, Moses and George, had confidence in him and rallied to his aid. Others joined him later when they saw the project was going forward. Among these were Thomas P. Cloward, whose biography states that he was .. one of the prime movers" in the project, and Wm. C. McClellan, whose history states that he worked on the Salem and Spring Creek canals. A hollow log with a small amount of water in it was one crude instrument used as a spirit level in tt9 engineering the job. Mer three years of tedious labor the canal was completed. It was seven miles long, two feet deep, eight feet wide across the bottom and twelve feet wide across the top. The canal stretched west across the southern foothills toward the Peteetneet hill, where it curved north to carry water to the cemetery and meadows of the area. It had been built without an exchange of money. Workers received land adjacent to the canal in payment for their labor. To honor Lyman Curtis for his achievement the people changed the name of Pond Town to Salem, place of his birth in Massachusetts. But for many years the town continued to be known as Pond Town to many of its citizens. Canyon Reservoirs With the success of these projects, other means of developing existing waters were sought. Timothy Jones, a pioneer of 1852, originated the idea of building a series of retention reservoirs on the creek in Payson Canyon. He pursuaded others to help him, and they worked on the project the years of 1877-8-9. These small storage reservoirs caught high waters of the springtime, which could be stored. As the creek water lowered in the summer, headgates could be raised releasing the water into the creek. This water was valuable for gardens and fields in the town and adjacent area. His descendants claim that Jones was the first man to conceive this idea on storage of water. The practice has since been developed and used in various places in the west. Jones Creek still exists in Payson Canyon. where a sign may be seen leading to the west of the road in the high reaches of the area. Here it was that Jones and his wife pastured cows of their own and other people in the summertime, and here it was that Mrs. Jones made pounds of good cheese and butter. Timothy Jones was elected to the city council for the term of 1887 and 1888. With authority of this office he continued work on conservation of water. He undoubtedly worked with others in construction of five reservoirs, the East or Big Reservoir, the McClellan, Pete Winward, Curtis and Box Reservoirs. The Box Reservoir was named after Andrew Box, states his granddaughter, Lucile Haskell. She said he came into ownership of much of the land in the upper canyon through homesteading. Around 1900 the water supply, indeed the very existence of Payson, was threatened when a wealthy man tried to buy Payson Canyon, which was state owned. Had he been able to realize his plan, 120 PETEETNEET TOWN, A HISTORY OF PAYSON, UTAH he would have had control of the water supply. Citizens of the community saw the danger and appealed to the federal government for aid. The result was the placement of the canyon under the National Forest Service, believed to be one of the first in the nation. By August 29, 1891, Reservoir #3 was completed. And on September 4th of the same year Maple Lake was improved and added to the system. Additional acres could now be irrigated. In 1894, after an especially long and hot summer, Payson men went to the canyon and widened ditches from springs to the reservoirs. By the next year the water level in the Big Reservoir was raised some five feet and that in Maple Lake was raised three feet. This year, too, boxes or troughs were placed in the city water mains on what was then known as 10th Street (now Main) between D and F streets. (now First North and First South streets). This made a constant flow of water on 10th street that could be used in case offire orfor other purposes as well as for irrigation. Pole lines and hitching posts were placed on culverts to make the street wider. (The Payson Story). On June 10, 1893, the city purchased a horsedrawn sprinkler. The people requesting the sprinkler district would pay for its operation. To fill the tank a platform was erected near Simons' old mill and the water was taken out of the creek then hauled to the streets. At the close of his ter;n tn 1919, Mayor Henry Erlandson published in the Payson newspaper: The city is hampered by a shortage of irrigation water. Some time ago the city purchased 200 acre feet of water [presumably from Strawberry Highline Canal Co.]. Now in 1919 the city is purchasing 1,000 acre feet of water to be paid for by land owners . This will put all platted portions of the city and some unplatted land on equal basis. simplifying distribution. In 1951 additional irrigation water was developed in the canyon through construction of a di version dam near Walker's Flat. Here water from a spring that ran into the old culinary water lines, by then un used for culinary water, were again brought into service to carry spring water to a place below the power plant, where it enters the flow of Peteetneet Creek. In 1966 the city began a program of cementing irrigation ditches through a special fund accumulated by a tax of one dollar per acre on irrigated land in the city. Each year an additional section of ditch will be cemented. Ease of irrigating and saving of water will be the result. Rates for use of irrigation water have increased steadily. Until well after the turn of the century a farmer could "work out" his assessments by ditch cleaning in the spring. Later ,city crews did the work and the owner was billed according to amount of land and water he used. Land-owners were notified the spring of 1973 to expect an increase to 5 to 10 per cent in rates, depending on location of the property and the particular ditch by which it is served. Plans were made to adopt a city ordinance which would require anyone petitioning the city for annexation to surrender any water rights attached to the land to be brought into the city limits. The Strawberry Irrigation Project The Strawberry Irrigation Project, completed in 1916, brought 60,000 acres of fertile land between Spanish Fork and Goshen under cultivation. The project centers in Payson, where offices of Strawberry Canal Co. and Strawberry Water Users Association are located at 54 West First North Street. The idea of storing water in the Strawberry Valley east of Heber City was noted as early as 1902, In addition the city in general purchased water so the district and city have some 1400 acre feet to add to the present [1919] supply. Mayor Erlandson concluded by stating, "This is the biggest, most vital, most far reaching effort Payson ever undertook. It makes ready to add to the culinary water supply and sewer system. "New cement weirs were installed for permanently dividing the irrigation waters under the city's control and made changes in distribution. Six permanent cement concrete culverts of full width of street were added to those already constructed. Some experiments in water distribution in 1919 proved unsatisfactory." Offices of Stl'llwberry Water-Users Assn. and Stl'llwberry Highline Canal Co. are both located in this building. 54 West First North Street. CHAPTER XXXII PAYSON SCHOOLS timber and the roof was possibly covered with sod, a common covering in pioneer days. Benches were made of long slabs cut from logs with legs set in at an angle. Desks were built in a similar manner, higher off the floor. Each desk could accommodate a dozen pupils. Other schools soon appeared on the scene. James Reece built a schoolhouse at a location that would later be known as 15 South Third East Street. It was sometimes called "the little school under the hill." After school hours the building was often used for dances and other public purposes. Henry Nebeker built a school in 1855 adjacent to his home at about 160 East First North Street. Construction may have been of adobe like his home. It was used for all public purposes. The Pioneer Schools "Pay attention to the education of the children," was the admonition given to the settlers at Peteetneet that day in 1850. The advice was followed and in one of the first public meetings three school trustees were selected. They were Joseph Curtis, George Curtis and James E. Daniels. Joseph recorded that "It was resolved that we build a schoolhouse immediately." Within a few months a small log schoolhouse had been constructed and "a school in a small degree was started." It was the first Monday in March, 1951, when the teacher moved her meager supplies into the log cabin and called her class to order. Julia Tenney was the first teacher in a public school. according to Memories That Live. Betsy Gardner, a first settler of Payson, is believed to have held a school in her home. One wonders if she might have gathered the children of the colony into her cabin for lessons before the school was constructed. Diantha Gardner was also a teacher in the public school as well as Lucinda Crockett. During the wiI!~er of 1859-60 there were three known schools in Payson. They were taught by W. G. McMullin, Henry G.i3oyle and James A. Wright. The population was growing and the people now realized that more schoolhouses were needed. On Sunday evening, February 10, 1861, the subject was discussed at a meeting held in the "adobe" schoolhouse. Bishop F. W. Young spoke on the "propriety of building a good schoolhouse." W. D. Wandell, the teacher, recommended building under Territorial Laws. Some were of the opinion that a school should be located in each quarter of the town. Others favored a single large schoolhouse. Henry G. Boyle moved they build one schoolhouse large enough to accommodate all of the children in town. The motion was seconded and carried to a vote. When the votes were counted it was found that 42 had voted in favor of a single schoolhouse and 43 against. The school was located in mid-block, facing south, on what is known today as Third North between Main and First West streets. Nails and window glass, freighted from the East, werehauled from Great Salt Lake City by Joseph Curtis. It is said he traded his last yoke of oxen for them. The single room had four walls, a door, windows, and a fireplace. It was complete with a platform for the teacher or speaker, according to the use of the building. The floor was made of rough The Rock School (Nebeker) Converted to residence; David Bryson on steps, 1972. 221 PETEETNEET TOWN, A HISTORY OF PAYSON, UTAH 240 Payson Fourth Ward Organized through a division of the First Ward.
