NPS Fonn United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section No. I Page § David E. Davis House, Rush Va Iley, Tooele County, UT Narrative Description The David E. Davis House, located at 400 East Highway 199, in Rush Valley I , Tooele County, Utah, was detennined eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places on July 13, 1984, after the owner at the time objected to listing in the register. The house has passed through other owners since that time and the current owner wishes to remove the objection and have the house listed in the Register. Some changes have been made to the house and property since the detennination and this addendum will update the property description and provide updated photographs. The owner prior to the current owner began extensive rehabilitation of the house which had been abandoned and neglected for a number of years. This work included replacing missing or damaged exterior brick with similar brick from the era, restoring an interior fireplace that had been covered over, updating electrical wiring and replacing outdated plumbing. Interior doors, woodwork, and floors were stripped of several layers of paint and the refinished. Some plasterwork on the walls was repaired or refinished as well. When the current owners purchased the house in May 2007 they continued the rehabilitation of the house balancing building code, health and safety concerns, energy efficiency and cost with the desire to retain as much as possible the historic integrity of the house. The following is a description of the work that the current owners have done on the building and the property: Exterior The fonner owner replaced the roof using asphalt shingles. This replaced two previous layers of asphalt shingles and the original cedar shingle roof. Two brick chimneys on either end of the gable roof were removed at this time as they were partially collapsed. The chimney on the rear wing was retained, being in much better condition. The original wood soffit and fascia around the entire house were replaced with aluminum using the same width dimensions as the original trim. There were two reasons for replacement, the old trim had badly deteriorated and split to a point that the attic had become infested with bats. An expedient repair was necessary, but because of the remoteness of the area it was difficult to find a local wood craftsman who could replicate the cornice and frieze details. So for sake of time and cost aluminum siding was used in place of the original wood. The difference in appearance between the original and the replacement is not enough to detract from the overall architectural integrity of the house. For similar reasons all of the original six-over-six wood-sash windows were replaced with vinyl windows of similar design. The original wood casings, lintels, and sills were retained or repaired where needed, and the 1 The original registration form listed the address as "Off Utah Highway 199." The official address is 400 East Highway 199, and has also been recorded as 465 E. Highway 199. Also, the original registration form listed the city as Clover (Rush Valley); Clover has since been incorporated into Rush Valley. OMS No. 1024-0018, NPS Fo,,,, United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section No. Z Page § David E. Davis House, Rush Valley, Tooele County, UT sash replacements are double hung with false muntins in a six-over-six format. Again, although these are vinyl replacements, the difference in appearance is not enough to affect the historic integrity of the house. Also on the exterior, a new front porch and porch roof was added. This replaced a small porch at the front entrance which had become dilapidated and collapsed. The new porch is fairly deep (approximately 10 feet) and the sloped, asphalt shingle-covered roof is supported on six wood posts. The previous porch covering was not original to the construction of the house and it is not known ifthere was a covered porch prior to that one. However, it is obvious from the original full-width nailer board across the main fayade to which the new porch is attached that the original intention was to construct a full-width porch at some point. The new porch was based on other homes in the region from the same era and is in keeping with historical examples on central passage houses throughout the state. Interior A new HV AC system was installed in the attic. Venting was strategically placed to hide ductwork as much as possible. Plumbing and electrical have also been upgraded or repaired. The kitchen was remodeled. It only had roughed-in plumbing when purchased. New cabinets, countertops, and appliances were installed. The upper floor bathroom, which was added in the historic era, was restored. Plaster had become detached from the walls, the ceiling was collapsing, and there were holes in the floor; all were repaired. Plumbing and appliances were upgraded. One interesting note is the recent discovery of a hidden chamber below the floor in the rear room of the rear cross wing section. A wooden ladder provides access to the chamber which is approximately six feet from floor to ceiling and the size of a small bedroom, measuring approximately ten feet by ten feet. The room was originally lined with timbers that have since collapsed. There are two possible uses for this room, one is as a root cellar, and the other is as a possible hiding place for David Davis. In the late nineteenth century federal marshals apprehended and imprisoned male practitioners of polygamy. It was not uncommon for polygamists to travel to other areas to escape imprisonment. Others made hiding places in their own homes, known in local folklore as "polygamy pits." The room in the Davis House seems to have been better finished than a typical root cellar, and Davis had three wives and was imprisoned for a time for polygamy, so it is probable that it was used for concealment purposes. The current owners plan to restore the room to its original appearance because of the historical significance and local interest. Outbuildings and Landscaping Two former log buildings that were noted as contributing in the original nomination have since been removed-according to neighbors they were both destroyed by fire, probably when the house was abandoned. There are now two other outbuildings on the property, neither of which is contributing. One is a garage/storage building. This is currently located just to the west of the house and was probably built in- OMB No. 1024-0018, NPS Form United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section No.1 Page I David E. Davis House, Rush Valley, Tooele County, UT period and moved to the site later? It is a long, rectangular, gable-roof frame building with wood drop/novelty siding only recently added. The second building is located to the southwest of the house near the road, and was also just recently moved to the site. It is a well house made from hexagonal cupola of a bam that was originally located in Kansas. It is also constructed of wood siding and has a hexagonal conical roof. The front and east side yard was recently planted with lawn, while the area west of the house is barren earth. The entire property is surrounded by several hundred acres of alfalfa pasture land and the yard immediately around the house is separated from the pastures by a pole and wire fence. The surrounding area is all farmland and houses and farms are situated far apart. Although many upgrades and alterations have been made to the David E. Davis House, they were all done with the intent of maintaining the historical integrity of the house while also being cost effective and environmentally efficient for the owners. The overall integrity of the house and setting has been maintained and the house is a contributing resource in the Clover/Rush Valley area. 2 This is according to the current owner. It is unknown when or if it was moved from another site. It can be seen in the background of the photographs for the original 1984 nomination. OMS No. 1024'()()1B.

Davis House is both architecturally and historically significant. Built of soft fired brick manufactured on the site, this two story central passage house is one of the earliest brick houses in the Clover area; and the only two story brick house there that maintains its original integrity'. Its central passageway plan is one of a number of common house types that have been idenUfied in Utah, and it is usually associated .with the local e.1ite. in this case David E. Davis, who established the local telegraph station in 1879) having previously established telegraph offices at other locations in Tooele County. Davis, a polygamist, had this large house built to accommodate his three wives and their families. This house served as his home for forty years. Also located on the property are two log outbuildings, both built c. 1885, which were probably used as granaries or for other agriculture related purposes, although some evidence suggests that the smaller of the two was used as a telegraph office between 1879 and 1884. Both log buildings are well preseraved, as is the house, and together they make up the most canplete and unaltered collection of buildings on a farmstead in this agricultural area. In 1883:. David Davis .1aid the foundation stones for , t.~is two-story. soft fired brick house which was to ·serve as his home for the next forty years. The clay in the Clover area had been found to be suitable for making brick, and John and JamesiMartin of Tooele were hired by Davis to manufacture the brick for this house using clay from in front of the site of the house and firing it nea~ the foundation that Davis had laid. A slight depression in 'the front lawn of the home indicates the location of their clay pit. 1 Robert Scott, a mason from Tooele. was contracted to lay the brick, and a Brother Durfee from Grantsville did the carpentry work. The house was complete enough on September 18, 1885 for the Davis family to move in. The Davis family probably consisted of some fifteen or twenty people at the time they moved into the house. David, in keeping with the principle of polygamy as practiced by members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at that time, ·had three wives, who. in this case, were sisters. Ann Warner Simpson (m . 1867) t4ary Emma Simpson (m. 1870), and Sarah Jane Simpson (m. 1875) were all born in England to George and Emma Norton Simpson and had apparently come to Utah with their parents in 1865 as converts to The Church of J,esus Chri st of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). A1 though records do not indicate exactly how many children were born to Davis and his wives, at least one of 'the wives had seven living children. Each wife had a section of the house which served as IIhome 11 for herself and her family2, although they may have shared the large kitchen on the main floor for their cooking and eating functi ons. t OMB NO. 1024-oo1R Exp . 10-31-84 "IPS For." 10·900-. (:"·02) Unft(:)d States Department of the Interior . National Park Service National Register of Historic Places 'Inventory-Nomination Form Continuation sheet Item number 8 Page 2 Davis had apparently been able to earn a respectable living from his telegraphy and fanning in order to afford to have a house of this scale and quality built for him. It is undoubtab1y the largest and best preserved of the houses built in the Clover area in the nineteenth century. This agricultural area, known as Rush Valley, consists of several small fanning cOO1munities populated primarily by farmers and ranchers, and the great majority of the older houses are simple one-story houses, many of which have been significantly altered -over the years. The existence of two . well-preserved 1ogoutbui 1di ngs on the property provi des further dotumentati on of the nineteenth century agricultural character of the area. David E. Davis was born i~ay 5, 1842 in Rhymney, Monmouth, Wales, to Ed\'/ard and Caroline Webster Davis. He joined the LDS Church in 1863, and, like most converts to the church at that time, came to Utah to join the "saints," probably arriving in 1865. In 1866 he was trained in telegraphy in Salt Lake City and was sent out to establish telegraph offices at various locations throughout the territory. Davis opened an office at Simpson Springs (located about 35 mi 1es southwest of Clover) i n ~1ay 1869, where he remai ned until opening an ~ffice at Government Creek, near Simpson Springs, in 1871. He operated that offi ce until openi ng the Center Stati on on hi s farm at Clover around 1879. The smaller of the two log outbuildings on the farm is possibly the "log house just next to where the home of [David Davis] stands"3 in which Davis operated the telegraph station until it closed in 1884. After the closure of the Center Station the alleged telegraph office was probably used as a granary by Davi s, who thereafter apparently devoted full time to hi s farming. He continued to live in this house until his death in 1923. The wives also continued to live in the Clover area until their deaths, although, due to the federal law against polygamy and the church's discontinuance of the practice in 1890, they all probably did not continue to live together in this house as they done previous to that time. Sarah Jane Davis Green, a daughter of Sarah Jane and David, and her husband, John W. Green, lived in the house for many years after her parents' deaths. John Green \laS also a farmer. The current owners, Dan H. and Elva M. Russell, bought the house from the Greens in 1958. Beyond the obvious assumption that polygamous families required more space than a monogamous family, relatively little documentation exists regarding the influence of polygamy on housing. Those polygamous families in whicn each .. wife lived in a separate house, and often in different communities, certainly had no effect on the house type. Families which lived together, such as the Davis family, likewise generally adopted traditional floor plans for their use, though perhaps in enlarged versions, usually depending on the financial situation of the family.4 The symmetrical arrangement of most of the popular house types of the period lent themselves well to equal division of spaces, \'/hich was often necessary in order to avoid feelings of jealousy on the part of the wives. 5 Kitchen and dining areas were usually shared in common. Other polygamous houses which have been documented include the Samuel Hoyt House in Hoytsville, listed in the National Register in 1982, and the Canute Peterson House in Ephraim, listed in the National Register in 1977.

NPS Fo"" United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section No.l Page § David E. Davis House, Rush Va Iley, Tooele County, UT Narrative Description The David E. Davis House, located at 400 East Highway 199, in Rush Valley!, Tooele County, Utah, was detennined eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places on July 13, 1984, after the owner at the time objected to listing in the register. The house has passed through other owners since that time and the current owner wishes to remove the objection and have the house listed in the Register. Some changes have been made to the house and property since the detennination and this addendum will update the property description and provide updated photographs. The owner prior to the current owner began extensive rehabilitation of the house which had been abandoned and neglected for a number of years. This work included replacing missing or damaged exterior brick with similar brick from the era, restoring an interior fireplace that had been covered over, updating electrical wiring and replacing outdated plumbing. Interior doors, woodwork, and floors were stripped of several layers of paint and the refinished. Some plasterwork on the walls was repaired or refinished as well. When the current owners purchased the house in May 2007 they continued the rehabilitation of the house balancing building code, health and safety concerns, energy efficiency and cost with the desire to retain as much as possible the historic integrity of the house. The following is a description of the work that the current owners have done on the building and the property: Exterior The fonner owner replaced the roof using asphalt shingles. This replaced two previous layers of asphalt shingles and the original cedar shingle roof. Two brick chimneys on either end of the gable roof were removed at this time as they were partially collapsed. The chimney on the rear wing was retained, being in much better condition. The original wood soffit and fascia around the entire house were replaced with aluminum using the same width dimensions as the original trim. There were two reasons for replacement, the old trim had badly deteriorated and split to a point that the attic had become infested with bats. An expedient repair was necessary, but because of the remoteness of the area it was difficult to find a local wood craftsman who could replicate the cornice and frieze details. So for sake of time and cost aluITlinum siding was used in place of the original wood. The difference in appearance between the original and the replacement is not enough to detract from the overall architectural integrity of the house. For similar reasons all of the original six-over-six wood-sash windows were replaced with vinyl windows of similar design. The original wood casings, lintels, and sills were retained or repaired where needed, and the 1 The original registration form listed the address as "Off Utah Highway 199." The official address is 400 East Highway 199, and has also been recorded as 465 E. Highway 199. Also, the original registration form listed the city as Clover (Rush Valley); Clover has since been incorporated into Rush Valley. 0M8 No. 1024-0018. NPS Form United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section No. I Page Q David E. Davis House, Rush Valley, Tooele County, UT sash replacements are double hung with false muntins in a six-over-six format. Again, although these are vinyl replacements, the difference in appearance is not enough to affect the historic integrity of the house. Also on the exterior, a new front porch and porch roof was added. This replaced a small porch at the front entrance which had become dilapidated and collapsed. The new porch is fairly deep (approximately 10 feet) and the sloped, asphalt shingle-covered roof is supported on six wood posts. The previous porch covering was not original to the construction of the house and it is not known if there was a covered porch prior to that one. However, it is obvious from the original full-width nailer board across the main fayade to which the new porch is attached that the original intention was to construct a full-width porch at some point. The new porch was based on other homes in the region from the same era and is in keeping with historical examples on central passage houses throughout the state. Interior A new HVAC system was installed in the attic. Venting was strategically placed to hide ductwork as much as possible. Plumbing and electrical have also been upgraded or repaired. The kitchen was remodeled. It only had roughed-in plumbing when purchased. New cabinets, countertops, and appliances were installed. The upper floor bathroom, which was added in the historic era, was restored. Plaster had become detached from the walls, the ceiling was collapsing, and there were holes in the floor; all were repaired. Plumbing and appliances were upgraded. One interesting note is the recent discovery of a hidden chamber below the floor in the rear room of the rear cross wing section. A wooden ladder provides access to the chamber which is approximately six feet from floor to ceiling and the size of a small bedroom, measuring approximately ten feet by ten feet. The room was originally lined with timbers that have since collapsed. There are two possible uses for this room, one is as a root cellar, and the other is as a possible hiding place for David Davis. In the late nineteenth century federal marshals apprehended and imprisoned male practitioners of polygamy. It was not uncommon for polygamists to travel to other areas to escape imprisonment. Others made hiding places in their own homes, known in local folklore as "polygamy pits." The room in the Davis House seems to have been better finished than a typical root cellar, and Davis had three wives and was imprisoned for a time for polygamy, so it is probable that it was used for concealment purposes. The current owners plan to restore the room to its original appearance because of the historical significance and local interest. Outbuildings and Landscaping Two former log buildings that were noted as contributing in the original nomination have since been removed-according to neighbors they were both destroyed by fire, probably when the house was abandoned. There are now two other outbuildings on the property, neither of which is contributing. One is a garage/storage building. This is currently located just to the west of the house and was probably built in- ot.4B No. 102<1-0018.

Davis House, Rush Valley, Tooele County, UT period and moved to the site later. z It is a long, rectangular, gable-roof frame building with wood drop/novelty siding only recently added. The second building is located to the southwest of the house near the road, and was also just recently moved to the site. It is a well house made :from hexagonal cupola of a bam that was originally located in Kansas. It is also constructed of wood siding and has a hexagonal conical roof. The front and east side yard was recently planted with lawn, while the area west of the house is barren earth. The entire property is surrounded by several hundred acres of alfalfa pasture land and the yard immediately around the house is separated from the pastures by a pole and wire fence. The surrounding area is all farmland and houses and farms are situated far apart. Although many upgrades and alterations have been made to the David E. Davis House, they were all done with the intent of maintaining the historical integrity of the house while also being cost effective and environmentally efficient for the owners. The overall integrity of the house and setting has been maintained and the house is a contributing resource in the CloverlRush Valley area. 2 This is according to the current owner. It is unknown when or if it was moved from another site. It can be seen in the background of the photographs for the original 1984 nomination.

Davis House is a two story brick central passage vernacular house with a rear uT u extension and a gable roof. It has a five opening facade arrangement wi th a door centered between four wi ndows on the fi rst floor, and five windows on the second fl oor.There are chimneys on each end of the front section of the house, and one between the large and small room of the rear extension. There is a wide cornice which returns on the gable ends. Windows are th~ six over six double hung sash type, the first story windows being longer than the second story windows. The first floor mUlti-pane windows of the front section of the house have been replaced in recent years with single pane double hung sash windows. ' There are two windows on each floor of the gable ends of the building, and the arrangement of openings on' the east side of the IIT u extension is irregular. The interior arrangement of rooms is almost identical on both 'floors. An 8 foot wide central passageway containing a staircase on the right side divides the space into two l4'x23' roans. The room east of the staircase was partitioned (approximately in 1960) to include two smaller rooms, a bathroom and awashroorn at the rear. There is an entrance from the north end of the central hall into the larger of the two roans in the rear extension. Alterations to the exterior of the house include the changes made to the first floor windows (n.d.), and the addition of an asphalt shingle roof and an awning over the front door. These changes have not affected the original integrity of the building, and are all reversible. The window change 1n particular did not affect the size of the openings~ There are two outbuilaings included in the David E. Davis nomination. Both were built of hewn logs, have saddle notching and gable roofs. Small pieces of wood were used to chink the gaps between the logs. The smaller of the two buildings is a square cabin with a door on the south side. This building may have been used as a telegraph office. The other building is rectangular, has a wide door on the east side, and was probably used as a barn or for farming purposes. There are no windows on either of the buildings, suggesting that they were not used as dwellings. This text message is used to keep the image from rotating in ocr process.

"We cashed in our savings and retirements and closed our eyes and just jumped," Ford recalled. One year into it, the Clover Creek General Store is at the center of a close-knit communi ty that adores the proprietors and what they've brought to this wild and beautiful valley of500 residents 20 miles south of Tooele. It's the first time in 30 years folks in the small town, nestled at the toot of the Stansbury Mountains, have had a local place to shop.

With it's original plank floor, hearth and piano, the dining room is comfY and inviting -- particularly if you don't feel like cooking dinner. "I've never worked so hard or been so happy," said Ford. "People in the community are really good to us. They ask: 'Are you chargi ng enough? We wa nt yo u lO stay.' " It's a place for celebration, too. Neighbor Paula Lee stopped by early in the afternoon with her son , Kevin , 3, and her daughter Cassidy, 5, who was getting a candy prize for being named "student of the month " at kindergarten. "We come in here all the time. When he was getting potty-trained," Paula said pointing to her boy, "this [the candy] was hi s reward for a good job." Among the Rush Valley denizens who help out around the place is Dalene Russell. "It's a fun place to work ," she said. "It's like a family store. We know just about everybody who comes in." Before the C lover Creek store opened, Rush Valley residents depended on neighbors when they needed lO borrow sugar or milk, Russell recalled. "Or I'd call a friend and ask them if they were going to town and could pick up a few things." But injust over a year, the place has become much more than just a convenience, said Rush Valley native Jon Stookey. "It's a real plus," he said. "People can pick up what they need. And it's a gathering place." Now that the general SlOre is rolling along, Farrington and Ford ha ve their eyes on the old Penny's garage and cafe, three miles north up State Route 36 toward Tooele. The cinder-block structure has been a way station along the lonely hi ghway since the 1950s. It later morphed into a bar and pool hall, but the old building is closed and gutted now. When Farrington and Ford look at Penny's, they see a family restaurant. Their success at Clover Creek has given them confidence to take on the project. The general store also has brought them a lot of new mends. They've been adopted wholeheartedl y into the little community. The pair ha ve even had customers move in for a while when those folks "were in transition," Farrington said. "It's so cool to be able to make a difference."

Davis House 400 East Highway 199 Rush Valley, Utah 84069 A previous owner had begun much of the restorative work the house required. It had fallen into serious disrepair and was in jeopardy of being condemned. I am not aware of all the work that was done; but know it included replacing some missing brick, refurbishing a fireplace, replacing electrical access lines, replacing water lines to the house. Restoring interior walls, doors, woodwork and floors; including stripping and sanding to retain the original materials wherever possible. We purchased the home in May 2007. We carefully considered options on each part of the renovation work as we continued the process. We were mindful of the integrity of the house and tried to balance it with the requirements of full time occupancy as well as building code, health and safety concerns, energy efficiencies, cost and professional expertise available in the area. We agreed with the previous owner that the original materials and features of the house should be maintained wherever and whenever possible. We have done the following work to the house. • • Replaced the roof using 30 year asphalt architectural shingles. Old roof consisted of 2 layers of asphalt shingle and th~ original cedar shake ~ . I -t' ~ \-u\ ~ ~\~~ - f~ Z-~-..v" ·'1r; ~ ~-t Replaced soffit and fascia uSing aluminum rather than wood while folldwing the Jxact..d86ign and placement of the original trim. We could not find the contractor expertise to replace or repair the wood trim on the home. Also, we have a serious problem with bats that poses a health concern requiring immediate and thorough remedy. • Replaced the windows using vinyl, energy efficient technology. The windows are the exact size, design (grid) and placement in all cases. We replaced wood trim where origi91l1 wood had rotted ~"'~L ; and decayed. • Added a furnace and central air conditioning. The furnace was placed in the attic. Venting was strategically placed to allow air flow and yet hide duct work in closets wherever possible. • Restored the upstairs bathroom. We found the room with plaster hanging from the walls and ceiling, holes in the floor and broken windows. Plumbing was roughed in for a toilet, sink and tub. • Remodeled the kitchen. The room had roughed in sink plumbing and little else. We found period looking cabinets and replaced linoleum with wood flooring. ' . Added the front porch. We carefully weighed design and function. We modeled the porch after several examples we found on similarly aged homes in the area. We used wood and older support posts where we could. We were n:Hn~ul t~co!"!,~iv:'ent tbe !JQ.rT;Ie a~ddoa 0 ~ "neighborhood - community" flavor. N~ ~ ~~ - l~ ~ r J, , • Started to landscape the home including lawn and a sprinkling system. • Minor electrical and plumbing repairs and enhancements. • Built a well house using a cupola from a bam in Kansas. - ,,~~\\ I~e rJ~-t VIA~ ~\~ ~ ~ ~ Prepared by laurie Ford August 15, 2007 r ~ . ~.,,<', ~ - ~.~~~ ?- VUM> ~"'" v -{7'" < ~ avis home From: To: Date: Subject: "Laurie Ford" <[e-mail]> <[e-mail]> 9/5/20077:47 AM Re: Photos of David E Davis home Hi Cory! This looks great!! I have a couple of suggestions for you to consider. In the first paragraph could we indicate that the house was approved for the register "afterwhich the owner objected to the listing because he did not want to do tours'? That way the sequence of events lines up better and the reason for the objection is defined. Third bullet under "Exterior" insert "are" in the last sentence: "Again, although these ARE vinyl. .. " Fourth bullett under "Exterior" insert the word "and" in the last sentence: "from the same era AND is is keeping ... " Second bullett under "Interior" revise the next to the last sentencess to read: "from the walls, the ceiling was collapsing and there were holes in the floor, all were repaired". Here is a bit more about the polygamy pit as requested. A wooden ladder allows access to the room which is approximately 6 ft tall. It is the size of a small room, measuring approximately 10 x 10 feet. It was lined wth wood timbers which have since collapsed. We plan to restore the room in the upcoming year, as we rrealize it is of social interest and historically significant. We have recently learned that Mr. Davis was imprisoned for a time for his practice of polygamy. A note about the former out buildings . We have heard that they were destroyed in a fire.

Clo~ds had been gat~ering each afternoon for a number of days, lookmg very threatemng, but ..... ould finally pass off without rain. On this particular day two very dark and heavy clouds formed, one to the southwest and one to the northwest, and seemed to travel toward each other, meeting on Johnson Pass, and then began the most torrential rain ever known in this locality. The amount of water that fell seemed to he about equally divided, one half going west into Skull Valley, the other half going east into ~ush Valley. The part that went west did little or no damage and Improved the road on the west side of Johnson Pass very much. Since the first settlement of the place, a large boulder weighing many tons had lain in the narrows on the west side, so blocking the passage as to make it difficult for wagons to go through it. Considerable money had at different times be~n spent in biasting the rock away, but it still was far from · a good mountain road. The water rushed down the canyon with such force as to lift this immense stone out and carry it down the canyon several hundred yards, leaving it almost buried in gra\'el and leaving a fairly good mountain road all the way down the canyon . "On the east side the case was quite different. The stream was so large and swift that it carried practically everything before it. A number of Indians were camped in the creek bottom, not far helow the head of Clover Creek, and they were unable to reach high ground a few rods from their camp before they were overtaken by the stream. Two of them, a man and a woman, .....ere drowned, and a third escaped with his life by accident. More than twenty head of cattle that were feeding along the bed of the creek were drowned by the onrushing torrent and their bodies carried several miles dowl"stleam. One steer that would dress ahout ROO pounds was carried clear down onto Enos Stoo key's farm and rolled out on the field , where a few hours before the men were busy hauling hay. At this point the s tream was ahout 40 rods wide and two or th~ee feet deep, completely destroying the hay and grain crops, carrymg away fences, and farm machinery and washing off the soil plow deep on the fallow land . Further down the creek, it spread out {Tlore and consequently did le!;s damage." ·In 1879, the ·hrick schoolhouse was huilt. The hrick for it was made at a brick kiln just south of where LaVar Sagers lives now. There is a bridge across the creek at that point , which is still called Brick Kiln Bridge. About 1890, another room was added to the schoolhouse. This \'va s a frame building and ga\'e the children the ad\'antages of two teachers in the school. About this U('d nrick Church in ClovCT . time the school district s St. John and Clover were consolidated . Some of the children walked from St. John to Clover, others were hrought by team and wagon . The da y around Clover was ll;!ed for making hrick for several hrick houses' in addition to the ~cho()lhou se . The bricks for David E . Da\'is's home (I SB:!) were made and burned ncar the foundation of the house hy the Martin hrothers, .John and James, of Tooele, and the mason work was done hv Hobert Scott, also of Tooele, a nd a Brother Durfee of Grant'sville did the carpenter work . There is still a slight depression in the lawn in front of John Green's home that marks the place where the bricks were made. The schoolhouse was used for all church and public meet ings as well as for a school until 1907, whell the reel church built!ing north of there was built. - ~During these years when the ward was being established and the school huilt , the life of th e se ttlers was undergoing changes in the day hy da y ta sks also. The pioneer homes that the first se ttlers had huilt were rough and lackin g in con\·eniences and the things that make life easier. Within the homes that were being built and improved . the re were many tasks to kee p the hou sewi ves busy. ('a ndles were mad e by pourin g m e ltl~ d tallow into candlemolds. HISTORY OF TOOELE COuNTY COi\Ii\lUNICATION A ND TRANSPORTATION little more friendly here. East of my beat, along Egan Canyon, Shell Creek, and Deep Creek, the Indians had begun to be very saucy and they had threatened to burn the stations and kill the people, and in the following spring they did break out in good earnest, burned some of the stations and killed one of the riders. That same spring I was changed back into Major Egan's division and rode from Shell Creek to Ruby Valley. " 'The Indians kept getting worse. They had attacked emigrant trains and had done a lot of damage to the express line by burning stations and killing the riders and running off with the horses. The Indians got so bad that it was hard to keep riders to carry the express, for everyone that could leave would do so, and it was hard for the agents to hire men to take their places. The company had to raise the wages from forty dollars a month to :;ixty, and it was hard to get men even at that price.' " 96 " 'That summer the Indians got very bad. They burned several stations, killed the hostlers, and also a few riders. I got very badly wounded that summer. I had been taking some horses to Antelope station, and on my way back I made a stop at Spring Valley Station. When I got there the hoys that looked after the horses at the station were out on the woodpile playing cards, and they wanted me to stay with them and have dinner. I got off my horse and started him towards the stable, but instead of going to the stable he went behind it, where some other horses were grazing. Pretty SOOI'. we saw the horses going across the meadow toward the cedars with two Indians on foot behind them. We started after them full tilt, and gained on them.a little, and as we ran I fired three shots at them from my revolver, but they were too far off for me to hit them. They reached the cedars a little before we did. I was ahead of the other two boys, and as I ran around a large cedar, one of the Indians who had hidden behind the tree, shot me in the head with a flint spiked arrow. The arrow struck my head about two inche~above the left eye. The other two boys were on the oth~r side of the tree, and seeing the Indian run, came around to find out where I was and found me lying on the ground with an arrow sticking in my head. They tried to pull the arrow out, but the shaft came away and left the flint spike in my head . Thinking that I would surely die, they rolled me under a tree and started for the next station as fast as they could go. There they got a few men and came back the next morning to bury me, but when they got to me and found I was still alive they thought they would not bury me just then. The carried me to a station that was called Cedar Wells, and from there sent to Ruby Station for a doctor. When he came, he took the spike out my head and told the boys to keep a wet rag on the wound and that was all they could do for me. I lay there for six days when Major Egan happened to come along, and seeing that I was still alive, sent for the doctor again, and when the doctor came and saw I was no worse he started to do something for me. I lay for eighteen days unconscious, then I began to get hetter fast, and it was but a little while until I was riding again. 97 From the Pony Express, by William Lightfoot Visscher Reprinted in Riders of the Pony Express Kate B. Cartel' OVERLAND STAGE AND TELEGRAPH After Captain J . H . Simpson in 1859 surveyed a new route to California which circled the salt desert to the south, the road was adopted for the Overland Stage, which previously had alternately followed the old emigrant route around the north shore of Great Salt Lake and the "Mormon Road" south to San Diego. The new route came from Great Salt Lake City through Rush Valley over Point Look-out and by way of Fish Springs in Juab County to Deep Creek, whence it continued on to California. The Concord Overland Stage, carrying 8 to 12 passengers and usually drawn by six horses, _continued to fl,mction until 1869 when the transcontinental railroad was completed at Promontory in Box Elder ('ounty. The bid for carrying the mail over the Central Overland route ..... as given to Ben Holladay. He followed the Oregon Trail to Fort Bridger, and then on westward thl'ough Utah. Holladay was proprietor of the stage line from 1861 until he sold out to the Wells Fargo Company in 1866. The latter company operated until superseded by the railroad in 1869. 1 One of the stage stations was about one-half mile east of .John Green's red brick house in Clover, where there is still a clump of haw trees. A house, a barn and alsp a well were located there at one time. In 1876, David E. Davis moved the Overland barn up to his feed lot. There are no remains of this barn or other parts ~f the stage station today. Mathew Orr operated this Overland Stage station. Mathew also kept the station at Deep Cx:eek; ·James assisted him at times. James Ferguson had charge of Telegraph office and Overland Stage at Ibapah. -._-I His to ry of Clove r. 297 HISTORY OF TOOELE COL~TY GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT Wool was spun into yarn. Clothes were sewed by hand. There was churning and baking and making of cheese; without refrigeration, it was necessary to salt and smoke and dry the meat that could not be used immediately-except in wintertime. Gardens were tended, and their products stored in root cellars or dried to be used later. Fruit was preserved and "put down" in crocks. Lard was rendered out at pork-butchering time. Scraps of fat from all kinds of meat were saved for soapmaking. When sheepshearing time came, there was the washing and carding of the wool so it could be made into quilts and spun into yarn. Most of the food that was used in the home was raised on the farms and prepared and stored there. But there were some things that had to be bought from stores-sugar and salt, among others. With no stores in the settlement, that meant a long trip with a wagon. Sometimes a load of wheat was hauled to the gristmill, and flour and other supplies were brought back. Along toward the mid-eighties, peddlers sometimes brought their wagons to Clover, selling dry-goods and trinkets and pots and pans. One of these was Mr. Wheelock. When the children would see him coming, they would run and hunt for an egg, so that they could trade it to him for gum. The gum came in a little tin box , which turned out to be a whistle after the gum was gone, so it was really a fine prize! Orchards and farms were fenced and improved. Enos Stookey planted a large orchard. Francis De St. Jeor also took great pride in his orchard, and he was especially proud: of his red English Currants. When they were ripe in the summer, he would invite his family and friends to a sort of "currant festival," where all could sit around the long tables that were set for them and enjoy bowls of the bright red currants with sugar and cream. Probably the first store in Clover was in the home of Lewis Irons, who had married the widow Gordon. George W. Burridge established the first store in St. John and ran it for many years. Junius J . Tanner established a candy store in the kitchen of his home. Another small store was in the home of Elizabeth (Lizzie) Humphreys. Richard W. Green had a sawmill where he made lumber for the buildings of the growing community. "Grandpa" Green also raised hemp from which he made rope. He had been a rope-maker before coming to America from Wales, and he followed this trade after he seWed in Clover. He planted the hemp in his field. It grew something like sugar cane, in stalks 5 or 6 feet tall. He cut it with a hand sickle and let the stalks dry. Then it was chopped with a chopper with wooden blades, which was run by hand. This cleaned the chaff out of the hemp, leaving the long fibres, which were then drawn through a series of perpendicular teeth to further cJean_ them. Now tbefibre was ready to be: twistBd into rope; ML -Green would -then tie the large skeins of fibres around his waist, and would -walk backward along the "rope walk" as -he fed the fibres into the twisting machine. The twisting machine twisted three strands together to make the rope. The power to turn the twisting machine was furnished by his grandsons, Charles, John, and Daniel Bush, who took turns at the wheel of the machine, which turned with a sort of hand crank. He made a good quality of rope, which he sold locally as well as in Centre and Salt Lake City. He continued at this trade after he became blind toward the end of his life. Another sawmill was operated by John S. Lee. It was located on the.creek farther up towards its source. Up in the Dell Field of the Stookey ranch was also located a brick kiln operated by William Garner. The little boys used to make marbles of clay and bring them to Mr. Garner, and he would "fire" them in his kiln to make them hard. In spite of the many serious tasks that had to be done every day, the people of Clover found time for fun and good times. 296 .;~ ~ : . -.- --.~j)-.~.:.-~~~: ~ ~•.

It was located between the Atherly Ranch and the Amos Davis ranch, about 100 yards from the highway. After the Overland Stages were discontinued, it was used as a telegraph station until 1870, when it was closed, along with the telegraph stations at Dry Canyon and Ophir. On the south of there is the old Faust Ranch, now owned by the Melbia Ranch (McFarland and Hullinger, and Pierre Castagno and Roy Davis.) J . H. Faust assisted in revising the route westward for the Pony Express, and was himself a Pony Express Rider. This station was the first home s tation west of Salt Lake City. . . . Another station is marked by the monument at Lookout Pass (S ee also Dog Cemetery). Alvin Anderson kept a supply station at Simpson and Lookout Pass for two years. He came to Vernon in 1864 with his parents who were handcart pioneers. George Wright came to Rush Valley in 1860 where he broke horses for the Pony Express and Overland Stage Trail which ran through his land. He was also an extra rider for the Pony Expres3. He and his wife, Mary Mittie Larsen, cooked for travelers and sold hay and grain to the stage line. Later they settled on the Faust Ranch . On March 22, 1863, the Overland Mail Stage with passengers was viciously attacked by Indians near Eight-Mile Station. The driver, Henry Harper, was killed nnd a passenger wounded. Judge Mott, a passenger, took the reins and drove for life, escaping further massacre: The transcontinental Overland Telegraph, completed in 1861. also followed the stage route. Brigham Young sent the first message from Salt Lake to the president of the company, J . H. Wade. on October 18, 1861. The coming of the telegraph ended the spectacular exploits of the Pony Express, which also had crossed the county. A telegraph station, called the Center Station, was operated in Clover, in a log house just next to the home of John W. Green. from about 1879 to 1884. This was operated by David E. Davis. the father of Sadie Green. He had studied telegraphy in 1866. SOon after coming to Utah, and had been sent to various locations to establish telegraph stations. He had opened an office at Simpson Springs. about 35 miles southwest of Clover, in May 1869, and had operated that telegraph station until opening an office at Government Creek in 1871. He operated that station until opening th e Center Station on his farm at Clover about 1879. This station COl\DIl!NICATION AND TRANSPORTATION 99 was discontinued when the Western Unio~ Company concluded to abandon their old California line. The Ime ran west from t~e testing station on the main line several rods south of the mal~ road to Ophir and ran directly west to the farm some three or {our miles. In Tooele City, Barbara Gowans Bowen and. Emily Warhurton Dodds were the first operators. The followmg story was taken from a history written by Barbara: "When I was sixteen I went to Salt Lake City to learn telehy Emily Warburton and I went together. We rented a room rap . Mrs Ure in the 15th Ward. We batched and ou~ pare~1ts ~~~ i~ pro~isions. We were three months in Salt Lake City bemg ~au ht in President Young's office, whom we saw every d~~. We cele~rated Pioneer Day in Salt Lake City in 1871 and participated in the telegraph float in the parade. "In the fall of 1871 the Western Union opened an office in Tooele. Emily and I were the operators. I will n~ver forget the first message I sent. Emily did not want to send It. I was very andh thes nervous, I t r I' ed but all that was received was the address h' k' signature. The gentleman who sent the telegram, t m mg per ~p that we might have been nervous, w~nt ~o the Western Ul1lon Telegraph office in Salt Lake City. He mqUired about. the message. It was shown to him and had only the ad<lr~ss andslgnatur~. He -sent the message from there. He Was very kmd a~)Out.our mistake and never made any -tr-ouble for us because of this grIevous error. In 1872, Father was called on a mission to ~ngland. After .he had been gone several months Emily left the office and. I held It alone until Father's return. I also assisted in the Post ?fflce, the Expres~ Office both of which were in the same building With the telegraph. Barbara Gowans was born February 13, 1855 in Liverpool, England while her parents Hugh Sidley and Betsey Gowans ~ere awaiting passage on a ship to cross the Atlantic. They left LI~er­ pool on April 22, 1855, aboard the sailing vessel Samuel Curlmg. They were accompanied on this journey by the parents of Betsey, Andrew and Ann McLeish Gowans, who had accepted the Mormon faith in their native Scotland. MI'.

Tae latter One of the stage stat10ns was about o.e-half mile east of John Greea's red br1ck house, where the~e is still a clump of baw trees. A aouse, a barn, and also a well were located there at oae time. In 1876, David E. OaTis mOTed the Overland barn up to his feed lot. There are no remains of the barn or other parts of the stage station today . Matthew Orr operated this Overland Stage statioa. I On Highway 36 , which now runs souta to Vernon and beyond, there was onother stage and telegraph ste,t ion which was operated by Johuy ·. Ylll1ems. 'Nb.ell the Clover ',Vard Genealogical SOCiety took a trip to landmarks of local history in August, 1954 , Sarah J. Green ead Edwin Johnson were able to locate the site of ta1s statioa. It was located between the Atherly Ranch And the Amos Davis ranch, about 100 yards from tbe highway. After the overland stages ttlere disccntinued , it was used as a telegraph station until 1870, whea it was closed, along wita the telegraph statioas at Dry Caayon and Opair. Oa south of there is the old Faust Raaca , aow owaed by Pierre Castagno. A Poay Express moaument was erected there ia 1935 by the C. C. C. under the direction of the U. S. Graziag Service. Part of it can still be seea. J . H. Faust assisted In reTlsiag the route westward for the Pony Express , and was himself a Pony Express rider. Tais station was the first hcme station west of Salt Lake City. Faust later studied medicine end returned to Rush Valley and bought the former Express station ror a ranca. He pract1ced medicine ia Rush Valley for a aumber of years, aad was affectionately known as "Doe Faust." Another station is marked by a monument at Lookout Pass. The life of the POBY Express waS oaly about a year aad a half, but for that brief t 1me it brougat the East mucb closer to the ',Yest. Ia the Book ot Knowledge, we found this brief notatioa: "Poay Express, a priTate enterprise to catry ' mail oTerland to California. Started April 3, 1860, it was discontinued i. October' 1861, whe. completion of the telegrapb diroinished need for the service. The system begen with 420 horses and 75 riders. ',\'1111am F. "Buffalo Bill" £bdy was ORe of the early riders. The first mail reached Sacramento, Ca11forn1a, from St . Joseph, ~issouri, iB 10 days." The transcontinental telegraph line was completed in 1061. Brigham Youag sent the first telegram from Salt Lake City to the president of the compaay . J . H. }lade, on October 18, 1861. A telegrapB station, called tlle Cent~r Station, was operated in CloTer, 1B a log house just next to waere the brick borne of John ~V . Green stands, from about 1879 to 1884. This was operated by DaTi d E. DaTis, the father of Sadie Green. He had studied telegraphy la 1866, soon after coming toUtaa, aad had been sent to Tarious locatioas to establish telegrapa statioas.

Virginia Bu~a, 8 daughter of John P. Bush, ~ught school in the old brick schoolhouse. About 1900, Alonzo J. Stookey pirciased the house and lived there with his family for the rerr~lnder of his l1te. He dled in 1930, and about two years later his fumily moved to the .~ where Lincoln and Enos Stookey now live. Paul Stookey and his f umily l1Ted in the old Child horr.e from 1940 to 1948. at years. The home of Enos Stookey was further west. In a protected spot, ~ith • beautiful view in all directions, it was a fine and well-built hor.ie. Fal~D lnto disrepair bec&use it has been unused for so r.~ny years , it still ~ow. signs of what it once was, with a cement walk around it, end fruit 'reea and flowers still remaining. It was last occupied by Mahonri ll . Stookey, \M youn,;;est son of F.nos Stookey, and his family. Another substantial home built in e&rly times is the one where Ed~in now live8. This was or1ginally tae home of his father, Orson Joanson. Iooa after the settlerr,ent was divided, with most of the people moving to St. 10kA, Orson Johnson purchased the farm on which thi8 aouse stands from David I. Caldwell. He drove to St. John with a team and wagon, a new set of har.... on the team. ..-then he came horr.e, he walked. He had traded team, wagon, ~ harness for the farm. In about 1873, he built a small log house, where .. and his family lived until 1886. That small house still stands back of U- present house. In 1886, wanting a larger home, Orson Joanson aad planned build one of brick but found the clay on ais farm was Rot suitable for laking into bricks. TheR ae decided to build 8 log house, and hired S~en Irlckaon of Grantsville to build it. He and his family moved into the aew '~e in November or December of 1886 and lived there the rest of his life. Aner his death, his wife and daughters, Phebe end Leone, continued to live . . re until Mrs. Johnson' 8 death and that of her daughter Phebe.

In 1883, David E. tni. laid the foundation for his twelve-room brick home, which still st8nds Ie. landmark of the community; being now the hone of John N. Green. As )ro\her OaTis's daughter, Sarah J. Green, wrote: "The home was cOltpleted ~ for his family to move into it Sept. 18, 1885. The bricks were made ~ burned near the foundation of the house by the Uartin brothers, John and l'-a, of Tooele, and the mason work was done by Robert Scott, also of 1e, 8nd Brother Durfee of Grantsville did the carpenter work."

Davis home located in Rush Valley Utah. We are interested in having the home listed on the National Historic Register. Recent conversations with you indicate the home was actually nominated and approved for the registry on 7/13/84. We further understand that the home owners, at that time, formally objected to the listing since they did not want to conduct tours of the home. We dearly love this home and have shown it daily to people. It is of great interest to the community and passers by. We are excited to share it with anyone who would like to see it, as well as to see it preserved and acknowledged for its historic value and prominence in the community. As current owners of the home we are hereby formally requesting that the former letter of objection be removed and have the home officially listed on the National Historic Register as previously granted. The address of the house is: 400 East Highway 199, Rush Valley, Utah 84069. Please note that the address has also been recorded as: 465 E. Highway 199, Clover, Utah. The towns of Clover and St. John were incorporated to form Rush Valley since the original nomination and approval. I have enclosed recent photos of the home as you requested. I will also send the photos online as we discussed. Please advise us of any further requirements to list the home. We will be happy to provide any information you request.

Davis House, Clover, Utah, will be considered by the State Review Board for nomination to the National Register' of Historic Places. The National Register is the Federal Governnent's official list of historic properties worthy of preservation. Listing in the National Register provides recognition and assists in preserving our Nation's heritage. Enclosed is a copy of the criteri a under whi ch properties are eval uated. Listing in the National Register provides the following benefits to historic properties: --Consideration in the planning for federally assisted projects. Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 provides that the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation be given an opportunity to comment on projects affecting such properties. --Eligibility for Federal tax benefits. If a property is listed in the National Register, certain tax provisions may apply. The Tax Reform Act of 1976, as amended by the Revenue Act of 1978 and the Tax Treatment Extension Act of 1980, and the Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981, contain provisions intended to encourage the preservation of depreciable historic structures by allowing favorable tax treatments for rehabilitation, and to discourage destruction of historic structures. Beginning January 1, 1982, the Economic Recovery Tax Act replaces the rehabilitation tax incentives available under prior law with a 25% investment tax credit for rehabilitations of certain historic commercial, industrial and residential rental buildings. This can be combined with a 15-year cost recovery period for the adjusted basis of the historic building. Historic buildings with certified rehabilitations receive additional tax savings because they are exempt from any requirement to reduce the basis of the building by the amount of credit. The Tax Treatment Extension Act of 1980 includes provisions regarding charitable contributions for conservation purposes of partial interests in historically important land areas or structures.
