History of Plain City Pt 7
I have two copies of the History of Plain City, Utah. The front indicates it is from March 17th 1859 to present. As far as I can tell, the book was written in 1977. At least that is the latest date I can find in the book.
One copy belonged to my Grandparents Milo and Gladys Ross. My Grandpa has written various notes inside the history which I intend to include in parenthesis whenever they appear. They add to the history and come from his own experience and hearing.
I will only do a number of pages at a time. I will also try to include scanned copies of the photos in the books. These are just scanned copies of these books, I have not tried to seek out originals or better copies.

SCHOOLS
Poplar School
Submitted by Roxey R. Heslop
Poplar was a branch of the Plain City Ward and it received its name from the long rows of Poplar trees on both sides of the street.
The school district was organized in 1891. First school was held in the home of Peter McCue located about 3475 West 1975 North. James L. Robson was the first teacher followed by Mrs. W. Winslow and Myra Gray.
A room school house was built about 1894 at 3320 West 1975 North. This picture is not the Poplar school which had no windows in the front but on the west side and three was a wood shed at the back but it is very similar in many ways.
The teachers were Bessie Zinn, Blanch Bagley, Freed W. Dalton, Naomi Tracy, Emma Anderson, Sarah Stevenson, Etta Brow, Lottie Henigar, Minnie Rudiger, Melvina Wayment, Esther Steward, Welthy Lake, and Pearl Tracy.
The Poplar School House was the center of church and social activities. Sunday School was organized 3 Sept. 1894. Primary and Religion were held there.
Dances were wonderful. Everyone danced and the young folks were taught to waltz, two-step, quadrills, polkas, schottisches and others that were popular at that times. Richard Lund with his violin accompanied by his daughters, Annie or Alminda on the organ. Often lunch was served. Children’s dances were held.
The Poplar Lane people were like a united family. Everyone went to church and attended all social events. All the children played together.
Nearly all of the folks have gone but those who are left enjoy wonderful memories of the days of activity, associations and inspirations that was bought from the one-room school.
CLASS PICTURE TAKEN IN THE POPLAR SCHOOL
Poplar school was a one room building. This picture was taken during the school term of 1901-1902 with Etta Brown as teacher. Later she married LeRoy E. Cowles who became the president of the University of Utah.

PUBLIC SCHOOL BUILT IN 1906
This is located on the site of the present Plain City Elementary School.
It included elementary through tenth grade in later years. The last year the tenth grade was held in the school was 1947. After that, it remained in use as an elementary school.
The front windows were bricked over and later the front doors were bricked when the gymnasium was added to the east.
Still later, a cafeteria was added to the west. The building was demolished in 1955, leaving the later additions and adding a new addition of classrooms to the east that same year.
The students pictured at the bottom of the picture are enlarged on the3 following pages.
Weber County School District was organized in 1906-07. Plain City was dedicated in September of 1906.

CLARA SKEEN THOMAS
SUBMITTED BY BEVERLY B EDDY
The Plain City School Hot Lunch Program was organized by Clara Skeen Thomas, wife of George Sidney Thomas. Clara Thomas was the first to start the Hot Lunch Program at the Plain City School 1923-1924.
She received $1.00 per day. She served vegetable and tomato soups, chip beef gravy on mashed potatoes and chili. These were purchased at the cost of three cents a bowl. With this money she received from the food, she would but the materials needed to prepare the next meal.
For years, she cooked and prepared the food at her home. She would have to take it up to the school each day. This would consist of three blocks each way. Later the school purchased a coal oil stove, which made it possible to prepare the food at the school. Each year the Hot Lunch program started in November and ended in March. Clara Skeen Thomas cooked and prepared the hot lunch at the Plain City School for eleven years and never missed a day.

SCHOOL BUS TRANSPORTATION
SUBMITTED BY ELMER ROSE
Oh what progress in education when in 1926, Weber High School opened its doors for County students. This high school is located on Washington Blvd. and presently occupied by the Adult Education Center.
Elmer Rose, of Warren, drove a bus to accommodate the northwest area of Weber County. Mr. Rose’s route covered several miles each day. He picked up all the high school students from Warren and both elementary and high school students from the south end of Plain City. He dropped the elementary students off at the Plain City elementary school. The student’s near the street car tracks were left to ride it to the high school.
Mr. Rose then continued his route through the North Plain City Road, back along highway 84 to within a reasonable distance from the car line. Then after passing the Harrisville along the route to Ogden limits.
On the route going to the high school, Mr. Rose picked up the Farr West Elementary students and delivered them to the Farr West School. He returned down the North Plain City Road picking up the elementary students for Plain City School.
The bus contracts to maintain and operate these units of transportation were awarded by bids. The lowest bidder getting the job if his outfit met the approval of the school board.
The inside of the bus had a bench on each side facing the center. The girls usually occupied these seats. In the center was a bench called a straddle seat. The boys were crowded together astraddle this bench.
The first bus was small and about 30 students were crowded into it. The students gave this bus the nickname of “Cracker Box”.
He often chartered his privately owned bus to take scouts, F.H.A. and other groups on excursions and other activities.
Mr. Rose removed the bus from its chassis during the summer so that he might use the truck for farm trucking.
This picture is of the second privately owned bus maintained and operated by Elmer Rose. This bus had a large capacity, accommodating about 50 students.
BUSSES LOADED IN FRONT OF WEBER HIGH SCHOOL IN 1926
The first buses to transport students to Weber High School in 1926 were operated and maintained by the individual owners. The contracts were let to the person whose bid was accepted by the Board of Education. Since these first buses were individually owned, the owners often used them for 4-H, temple, and various other excursions and activities.
Owners often used them for hunting trips. Family and friends slept in them overnight lodging away from home. The straddle bench was removed to make room for the bed.
Some owners removed the bus body from the chassis and placed another bed on the truck, so as to utilize it for farm trucking during the summer.
School transportation has evolved from the horse-drawn school wagon to the giant sized yellow school bus.
Today students ride to school fairly comfortable. The buses are warm, the seats padded, the radio plays popular music. These luxuries were undreamed of by the students who rode in the white top covered wagon, or the horse drawn sleigh in the midst of winter.

Denali National Park
Amanda is always the deal shopper. Well, that keen eye paid off in 2021. She found tickets (red eye) to Fairbanks, Alaska, for $118 per ticket. That meant we could take the entire family to Alaska for about $750! Who could pass up a deal like that? We booked tickets and started to make arrangements. We arrived early morning on 19 July. We went straight to the hotel, in the bright light of the early morning hours, to get some sleep.
Later that day we made a stop or two, one of which was at Pioneer Park.
We spent some time at Pioneer Park and took too many pictures. But our goal was Mount Denali, which as a kid I knew as Mount McKinley.
We checked in at the Denali Park Hotel and went to discover some of the magic at Denalia National Park.
We saw some pretty amazing scenes.
Denali was hidden from us though. We did not get to see it while in the park.
Apparently Denali is often elusive. Many visits come to the park but never catch a glimpse of her. Even here, you would have thought we could see her shadow or silhouette. Nope.
Even the next day from the south, nothing. MIA.
We made our way to Talkeetna and Anchorage. I will have to write about those another day.
Manti Temple Open House
Like many others, we took the opportunity to attend the Manti Temple Open House. We scheduled it during the kids’ Spring Break from School. The last time we were in Manti was for Zach and Alyssa Smart’s wedding in 2018 (I posted it about it at the time). We took this picture as a family then.
We decided to recreate the 2018 photo. Here is what we were able to do with the exhausted and cold kids.
We all are 6 years older! I don’t think my hair line has receded anymore since then, although it still might be thinner. All are taller.
We waited for more than 2 hours to get into the temple for the tour. It was brisk and chilly, but the kids seemed to take it well. They even rolled down the temple hill a few times. We snapped this photo near the beginning of the line at the bottom of the hill. Grandma Jill Hemsley joined us for the occasion too!
It was a long line.
We finally made it inside. I think we moved through faster than I would have preferred. However, it was fun to be in parts of the temple I had never before seen. The Assembly Room was amazing. I enjoyed the novelty of the stairwells. The new screens in the Terrestrial Room, although necessary for the video presentation, are very disruptive of the room. I really appreciated and felt some of the paintings.
We also recreated another photo from 2018. Some of the landscaping was redone…
Here is the photo they were recreating. Aliza and Hiram were waiting for a hummingbird to land on them. Unfortunately, with the new water conserving landscaping, I am sure there will be many fewer hummingbirds. Too bad the grounds didn’t just do away with the grass. The flowers were so amazing.
If you look closely, you can see the keystone of the door in the 2018 photo. Too bad the bench is also gone.
Dinosaur National Monument 1958 & 2024
I had these two photos shared with me many years ago of my Grandparents, Milo and Gladys Ross, at Dinosaur National Park. The Quarry Exhibit Building opened in June that year to the public. You can see the building to the left in the picture. The construction stairs and ladders are still in place and were removed that year. I would expect those were removed for the opening to the public, so this might predate the June opening.
Milo Ross and Harold Ross were the sons of John “Jack” William Ross. Jack’s brother, James, had a number of family in the Vernal, Utah, area. Carma Ross Preece is on of James’ daughters. Brent, Gerry, Janet, and Lorri Preece are all her children (and Daryl was later added).
Based on these photos, it appears Milo and Gladys and Harold and Colleen made the trip out to Vernal to visit their first cousins. It may have had something to do with the opening of the Quarry Exhibit, if so it doesn’t appear Milo and Harold took their children with them.
We took our family to Dinosaur National Monument in March 2024. I knew the one photo was at the Quarry Exhibit, I suspected the other photo was nearby. I showed the pictures to one of the Rangers at the Quarry Exhibit and she gave me all sorts of history and information. Here was the kink, the photos were both backwards. We figured it out because the south end of the Quarry Exhibit does not have the elevation that it does on the north end. She also pointed out that the mountains in the second photo very much looked like Split Mountain, but she could not figure out the location that far to the north.
While at the Quarry Exhibit, I snapped this photo of the vicinity of where the prior photo was taken. You can see the structural upgrades to the building that were recently done. The Ranger indicated we were not allowed to go up on top, so this was the best we could do.
Here is a picture of the full Exhibit Building. The round entry building was removed due to the same issues that required redoing the foundations of the full building.
With a little sleuthing, we located the photo with Grandpa and Grandma Ross. Now to find the second location. The Ranger indicated it appeared to be north of Split Mountain, but if the photo was reversed it might simply be the Split Mountain overlook. But it was hard to tell and imagine if it is reversed.
We went out to the Josie Morris cabin and nothing quite lined up the father north we got. So we came back and went up to the Split Mountain Campground. We could tell it was the overlook almost immediately. Although the road had been expanded and other things had changed, it was the right location.
This one was easier to take a family photo on our windy, brisk day.
I tried reaching out to Janet Preece Pedersen, but she and Richard were out of town. We will have to make the trek back another time.
Milner Did you Know?
My Dad shared this article from the North Side Journal from March 2024, Section B Page 15.
People who live in the Magic Valley know there is a Milner Dam near the east end of Jerome County. When the irrigation waters are released in early spring from Milner Dam, the canals flow on the north side and on the south side of the Snake River. But did you know there was an actual town named Milner? And how the town got its name? In the early 1900s, Jerome County farmer I. B. Perrine was transporting his fruits and vegetables from his farm in the Snake River canyon to the Albion Normal School South of Oakley. The trail from the Blue Lakes farm to Albion was a pretty rough ride for his horses and wagon. When he got to what was known as the Cedars, he rode across the river on Starrh’s ferry boat then traveled the rest of the way on another rough trail. He took this route several times and thought there should be a dam here to bring river water up onto the sagebrush areas on both sides. He discussed his thoughts with several of his acquaintances, especially the ones with money to spend on projects like this. He filed paperwork, which was approved in 1903, to own land and water rights in this area and proceeded to get the financing.
When everything was approved, a corporation was formed to build a dam at the Cedars. Peter Kimberly, S. B. Milner, H. L. Hollister, Witcher Jones, Robert McCollum, Paul Bickel, D. C. McWatters, Frank Buhl, and William S. Kuhn all had a hand in the financial end of this project. Before building the dam, canals had to be created on each side of the river.
They started with the south side because the Stricker Stage Stop and some other nearby settlements were already on that side. There were no communities on the north side toward the west which would be the flow of the canals. In order to build canals, there had to be construction workers: so, a town was started on the south side of the Cedars crossing which was named after Mr. Milner. They started with the south side canals flowing west towards where any unused water would flow into Rock Creek just before it dropped into the Snake River. While these canals were built guilt, the town of Twin Falls, named for the twin falls two miles upriver of the Shoshone Falls, was being developed in 1904 near Rock Creek almost 40 miles to the west of Milner. The dam was finished, the gates opened to the south side in 1905. Just after this time, plans were made to create canals on the north side.
The workers from Milner also helped with this construction. We know of all the difficulties the north side had from so much basalt rock that the canal water seeped through, and they had to apply concrete to the first two miles of the canal system in order to get water to the communities west of there. By 1905 the community of Greenwood began to develop on the north side. Most had to shop and bank at Milner, 16 miles away. Many farmers had come to claim free land under the Carey Act. By 1910 the water canal was filling the system and the towns of Hazelton (1911), Eden (1911), and Jerome (1907) had started with canal water flowing through and past them and back down into the Snake River west of Wendell (1907). When the Milner Dam and the canal systems work was finished, the construction workers and business owners and Milner either farmed lands close by on either side or move to other towns.
The bank, grocery store, mercantile stores, saloons and “red-light district” moved to Hazelton in 1914, about 16 miles away. The big Riverside Inn burnt down. The only thing left that shows the town of Milner existed is the cement casing that was around the bank vault and a few graves. (Information from North Side News and Helms family history).

I was trying to find some photos and stumbled upon my Mom’s graduation pamphlet I had scanned a few years ago. Thought maybe it was time to share it, especially where I have seen some of her classmates have passed away recently.
