It was built south of the Hyrum straw Block and shares a common wall with that structure. Currently surfaced with stucco, the building's main facade may have been built with stone. The side and rear walls of the structure are of brick. The fenestration pattern on the main elevation has been greatly altered. Four tall, double hung windows with transoms have been replaced by the current horizontally oriented pair of windows. The original store front has also been removed and replaced. Only portions of the original cornice remain intact. These alterations render the building ineligible for National Register recognition. A series of brick and block additions have been built at the rear of the building, most associated with the bakery which operated at one time in the building.

Child commenced construction of the building which was to house his marble and granite works business over the next 16 years. Child, an established stone mason, learned his trade from his father, Thomas Child, who was one of the original settlers of Springville. Alma, who took an active part in church and civic affairs, worked on many of the buildings in the vicinity. In 1877, in conjunction with his father, he established the Child monument works and continued in the business until 1930 when his son Ivan took over the business. Child occupied this structure from 1902 to 1917 when it was sold to William Wainwright, a local baker. Born in 1875, Wainwright, along with his wife Louisa Harrison, emigrated to the U.S. from Salt Lake City until relocating to Springville in 1906. He owned and operated the Wainwright Bakery until 1943, three years prior to his death. The building was subsequently sold to John & Vondella Schouten who owned the property until 1975 when it was acquired by its current owner, Waldo Jackson. The main level is currently being used as office space while the upper floor stands vacant. ".!S' .' 75. 85 ALMA H.

At night there could often be seen trains of wagons around the fort while the occupants rested inside. This fort together with Fort Bridger about eight mil~ north was destroyed by fire at the approach of Johnston's army in 1857. stone cutter by trade; Joseph -ReynQlds. who became the village tailor; Levi Kendall and .his family; Catherine Soyer and her family: John,Phillip, Francis, Emma, Maria, and Lydia; James Holley and a Mr. Hawley and his family. The latter brought with them a melodian, the first instrument of its kind in the community. It was much used at all public gatherings. HAl~I'SFORK THE PUBLIC CORRAL Another company was called from Springville to go under the command of Stephen Markham to become a part of what was termed the Y. X. Company, or Young's Express. They were Sam Pine, William _D. Johnson, George McKenzie, Elmer Taylor. Willi-am Sumsion, Moroni~liner.... Milan Packard, Robert Johnson, Amos Warren,. Nephi Durfee, and Evans P. Brinton. These services were performed under greatdifficulties, the men suffering many hardships and having many narrow escapes from the Indians. Moroni Miner told the following Storv: "We built two houses on the upper crossing of the Sweet Water with a large shed between them. One room was used for supplies and the other for living quarters. The door and window were built so they could be used for portholes if necessarY. One side of the house served for a corral with huge logs On either of the other sides for a stockade. Our horses were kept in this enclosure moSt of the time as protection from the Indians. "Nearby our camp two Frenchmen, the Perry brothers, had eStablished a trading POSt for the purpose of bartering for furs with the Indians. They had both married squaws. One day while the French brothers were away on a trading expedition, the Indians came to their camp and killed the squaws but left the tWo little babies unharmed. Upon their return the fathers brought the motherless babes to our camp and remained there with them u.ntil it was safe to take them to headquarters. We cared for them as best we could although our fare was nOt exactly suitable for a baby's diet, "The advanced guard of the U. S. Army also camped with US as long as we remained there. The camp houses were built twelve miles apart, and at each one of these encampments the horses that carried the U. S. Mail were changed. When Johnston's army came, we were aU discharged except Nephi Durfee, Antos Warren, and Robert Johnson, who remained in charge of the fort until it was burned some time later." Since all farm land had been appropriated and fencing mat.erial was plentiful, it was proposed that the -large field west of plat "A"should be fenced in common. Every man was to build a pole fence or mud wall in proportion to the land he owned. On one side of the fence he was to make a ditch for irrigating. During 1856 there were added to the colony the follOWing useful citizens: Frederick Weight, who for many years became the choir leader; Thomas Childa-a. Late in the -fall tbe settlers built a public corral in which the people could gather their slock at tqe semiannual roundup held each spring and fall. After all the cattle had been placed in this enclosure, the owners met and each one picked out his own stock for branding and marking. This corral was situated across the street north of the northwest corner of the Public Square upon a lot set aside for that purpose. However, Hobble Creek washed away a pan of it, and the corral was then moved to the tithing yard on First North Street. Although the trouble with the Indians seemed to have been quelled with the Tintic War. the settlers were compelled to keep up the keenest vigilance. During the summer the cow herds were taken to the Union Bench under a strong guard to prevent their being stolen by the Indians. Early each morning the cows were driven to-the east gate by the boys and girls of the town accompanied by their dogs. In the evening they were returned to this same gate by the herdsmen. When the men Wem to the canyon for wood, they would meet at the east gate of the fort and go in groups of thiny or forty teams and lipon reaching the timber land, would go armed in groups to CUt the wood. Part of the men would stand guard while the wagons were being loaded. At night guards were kept at all the mountain passes leading into town to keep the wily foes from running off with the cattle. In 1856 Wi11.iam Bringhurst, one of the Springville settlers, was caUed by Governor Young to lead a company to Las Vegas, Nevada, and establish a colony t'here. With his wife and several men he made the journey across the desert. Before arriving at their destination, on December twenty-fifth, his wife gave birth to a daughter, whom they named Deseret. A Party of U. S. Surveyors who were camped nearby, hearing of .. the new arrival, brought a keg of liquor and invited the men to join them in a celebration in honor of the baby. 24 ~ ThCTVJQ.J _0Il Id - A/nUl. N~AY'j THE HAND CART COMPANY OF 1856 Late in the fall of 1856 word came of the desperate Condition of some emmigrants who. belonging to the Martin Hand Cart Company, were stranded in Wyoming. They were struggling along the Platt and Sweet Water Rivers with their hand carts,and suffering with ioJ-!lL'L r '1-' rfto r71a-i J-- ¥- ~1tn- In 1892 Springville's Main Street showed signs of great business prosperity. In addition to the bank building erected the year before, the Bonney, the Miner and the.Child.buildings were built between Seco~ Third South Streets. Across the street from the bank on Second South, the H.T. Reynolds Com~y built a large three-story mercantile sotre of brick and stone, the largest department store in Utah County. The third floor was a spacious ballroom. In the rear were a coal yard, a lumber yard and sheds for horses and delivery wagons. An important industry of this time was the brick yard about two miles south of the city, owned and operated by Mark Cook. Started in 1891, it now had a capacity of 14,000 bricks per day. Many of the bricks, which were of excellent quality, were shipped to various parts of the county. The best equipment of that time was used, and during the busy season about fourteen men were employed. Many homes in the city were built of these bricks as was the Washington School house. Another successful industry in Springville was the woolen mills operated by James Whitehead, who leased the old cotton factory one-half mile northwest of the city, remodeled it and equipped it with efficient machinery for the manufacture of the highest grade of woolen goods. At first the products were stocking and weaving yarns. Later the products were cashmeres, suitings, tweeds, dress goods, flannels, batts, wools for spinning and linings. It was a three-set mill using 100,000 pounds of wool annually and employing twenty men and women, all skilled workers. In connection with the mill was a large dye house. The mill was run by water power. Mr. Whitehead, who had had lifelong experience in his trade, insisted on the strictest attention to every detail and as a result the mill achieved the reputation of being one of the foremost in the Territory. WARDS REORGANIZED Flnt LDS Fourtb Ward ne flnt Presb)1eriaD aliii'd!. lin According to church records, the L.D.S. population of Springville in 1892 was 3,455, including 554 children. They were living in four wards presided over ' .' .': i }.: LDSnJrdW.... " -:,' LDS FIrst Ward, rtpt wtq ortaJul did . !: 74 c'- by one' bishop, namely Nephi Packard. On April IS, 1892 at a meeting held in the White Meeting House and presided over by Utah Stake President .Abraham O. lli'4U NOTES OF THE EARLY 1900's 1900 Our city was shocked with grief when news reached here, May 1, 1900, of the terrible explosion at the Schofield coal mines in which about 200 were killed. Among the casualties were several from this city, Barney Dougall, a young engineer, John Williams, Morgan Miller, John Davis, and his two sons. The people of Springville responded generously to a call for help and immediately sent a carload of groceries and vegetables to the bereaved families in the stricken town. Business Houses of the Early 1900's Some of the principal business houses of the first decade of this century were: the efficient blacksmith shop of Gomer W. Phillips; up-to-date livery stables, one operated by D. P. Brinton and Melvin Chase and one by Erastus Thorn; well-stocked hardware and implement shop of Evans P. Brinton; the bookstore of J. N. Pexton with soda fountain and ice cream parlor; the Springville Drug Store, managed by T. R. Kelly and D. R. Wightman, registered pharmacist; the quality bakery 9f William Wainwright; the Caffrey and Davis Furniture which supplied varied needs in home furnishings; and the Whitmore Meat Market and the M. F. Miner Grocery and Meat Market both stocked with the best in foods. In addition were the older mercantile businesses of H. T. Reynolds and CO. J Deal Brothers and Mendenhall. the Wood Mercantile Co., and Packard's Store which was a general store operated by Mrs. Luella Wood Haymond, daughter of the pioneer merchant Lyman S. Wood. The Boyer Hotel on 3rd South and 1st West, wellknown to travelers, was managed by Mr. and Mrs. David Crandall. The Manitou Hotel, operated by Mr. and Mrs. Mose Johnson, dispensed its hospitality at 2nd South and 1st West. The proprietor of the Harrison Hotel, known as 'Beef~teak Harrison' had a far reacbin8 reputation for 800d food spiced with 800d stories at 245 South Main. Walter Wheeler maintained an undertaker's establishment assisted by his daughter, Hilda. He also manufactured and imported all kinds of wood and metal caskets. (At this printina, 1987, this business is now in the fourth 8eneration of the Wheeler family.) A. H. Child oocrrated a monument shop. He had Jearn'Cd the trade from his fathe.!, Thomas Child, who was one of the early stone cutters of Springville. This family business went to sons, Ivan & Arvil, then to Arvil's daughter and son-in-law Richard Johnson, also a fourth generation. (At present printing.) The Art Studio of George E. Anderson turned out superior photography for people of SpringVille and surrounding cities, and was known throughout the West. 1902 Telephone Springville Telephone Exchange, the second in Utah County, was opened in 1902 with four residence telephones and six business ones in operation. The office was established on the second floor of the Miner building on Main Street. The equipment was crude, but it was the best that could be had at that time. The two operators were Miss Abbie Groesbeck and Viola Huntington of this city. 1903 Irrigation At this period water for irrigation purposes was furnished from Spring Creek and Hobble Creek. Also dug about this time were a score of artesion wells which gave a copious supply of water from pipes driven from 12S feet to 200 feet. This water was also used for domestic purposes. The first well drivers operating in Springville were James E. Hall, Joseph Stephenson, and Quet Johnson. Electric Lights At a cost of S40,OOO the city of SpriD8\ille installed its own electric light and power plant at the mouth of Hobble Creek Canyon. This has proved to be a very profitable investment. In addition to illuminatina the homes and business houses, 112 lights were placed on public streets and some motor power was supplied. The City Hall and the H. T. Reynold's ballroom were the first buildings in the city to be lighted. With the growth of the population and industrial expansion new expansions have been made. The plant has furnished one of the city's lar8est revenues. At the time of this writing this amounted to S12,OOO per year. ,.. ........ ... . . 1912 In 1916 the U. S. FISheries Station was built on the west side of the State highway and a little north of the State hatchery. It occupies about 23 acres on which are situated one large hatchery building, one rearing tank building, one residence, and other necessary buildings. The hatchery building contains 60 hatching rearing ponds, three brood fISh ponds, two large and two small bass ponds. Approximately 4,000,000 fISh of different species and sizes are raised and distributed each year to Utah state waters. The Parent-Teacher Association was organized in this city in 1912 with Mary J. Finley, president; M. W. Bird, vice president; and John Mendenhall, secretarytreasurer. The association made its influence felt in the educational life of the city, the general objective being closer cooperation between parents and teachers in working out plans to improve educational standards. 1913 1909 The first four year public high school in Springville was housed in a new building erected on 128 East Fourth South, and the frrst of its kind in Utah County. For several years gradual steps had been in progress to reach this goal. The flrst classes had been held in the Washington school, and the frrst two-year class was graduated in 1904. Then the old Elder's Hall, a three room building just west of the Washington school was bought, and a third year added. A strong faculty under principal N. K. Nielson taught in the various departments for which they had been specially trained. There were no laboratories, no shops, no gymnasium, but ,there was no lack of enthusiastic instruction in academic subjects. L. E. Eggertson, principal of Sprinaville schools, taught the fust public high school class in this city. He was assisted by Harold Alleman, Ida Alleman, and Osmond Justesen. The following were pupils: Lola B. White, Minette Alleman, Ella Maycock, Jennie Houtz, Joseph Vane, Milan Straw, and Bern Mendenhall. With the new buildin& there was added the most up-to-date science and home economics laboratories, library, music room and an auditorium with a platform. Shop classes were held in the old Elder's Hall; basketball in the basement of the opera house. The Old Rock Wall Razed During the early sixties the people of Springville decided to build a large stone wall to enclose a square acre of the L.D.S. tithing yard, located on the west side of Main Street and First North. Under the direction of Bishop Aaron Johnson a community tax was levied and It- Thomas Child. a skilled stone mason, was given the job of laying the wall. The children of the community assisted by gathering great piles of cobble rocks from the foothills and nearby creek bottoms. Soon a wall was erected which was laid on a solid rock foundation, one foot below the surface of the earth, 18 inches wide and five feet high on three sides and four feet high on the east side. This enclosure soon became one of the important centers in the community life. Cattle, sheep, and horses as well as larae quantities of vegetables, wood, and hay were taken there for tithing. Minute men camped there; and while they were flihtina in the Black Hawk War, they often used the hay loft for sleeping quarters. One room of the large adobe house inside the enclosure was used for a post office; another room was used for a tithina office. The south side of the enclosure was used as a public camping place. As Springville arew in population, the wall and the enclosure became less and less important. The adobe house was tom down to make way for modem dwellings, and in 1913 the last section of the old wall was razed. 1913 I ~. .' I :; " ~ i I r'" l' f I- f ~ t An Early Art Exhibit In the early 1900's Mrs, V~ola_ RQyl~c:e opened her new spacious home to the public to view a special exhibit of the paintinas of Springville's noted artist, John Hafen. The exhibit was apoosored by the ladies clubs of the city, and the artist offend p~~ f~r ,sale at $0 per cent under the usual price. Many townspeople and also school children availed themselves of this rare opportunity to view the beautiful works ,of an, and many paintings were bouaht. This could have been the bqinnina of the art movement in Springville. The Interurban electric railroad started by the Salt Lake and Utah Railroad Company in 1913 added another link to an ever arowinl transportation system. July 24, 1915 Milan Packard ~d the company officials piloted a train from the terminal in Salt Lake aty to the depot on South 'and Main in this city.

JOHN JASPER McCLELLAN.- , ! '.. : :,. .. j' I. :.!I'· ': ./ John Jasper McClellan, who stands as one of the highest exponents of the musical art In Utah, being now director of the Utah Conservatory of Music at Salt Lake Ctty, was born in Payson, this stste. on the 20th of April, 1874, a son of John Jasper and Eliza Barbara (Walser) McClellan, who came to Utah in early lite. That nature endowed him with marked musical talent was early manifest. He began his 'studies when ten years of age and the following year had made such progress that he became organist ot the church in his 'native town. Until he reached the age .of seventeen he continued his practice upon the piano .and organ with teachers of only mediocre ab1l1ty, but in July, 1891, he left Utah and went to Saginaw, Michigan, where for eighteen months' he pursued his studies under Albert W. Platte, who could well be termed a "music master." He augmented his studies there by becoming assistant organist of St. Paul's church and occasionally played in the First Congregational church. Later he became a student in the ' newly created Conservatory of Music at Ann Arbor, Michigan, as a pupil of John Erich Schmaal and he also studied theory and organ under Professor Stanley, director ' of the. school. A year and a half later the noted Spanish pianist, Alberto Jonas, became head of the piano school of the Ann Arbor conservatory and greatly encouraged Mr. McClellan. recognizing his unusual talent.
