West Jordan and Livermore oldies visit Grantsville, UT


The Livermore Clarks were in town on their 3 week ramble to New Mexico, and the geezers went out west to Grantsville for some former family residence and cemetery browsing.
Former family homes....
We re-identified two properties that we knew were out there but could not remember the exact location/address of. So we took pictures - here goes:

The old Edwin M Clark residence at 312 East Clark Street. (we already knew about this one)

The old Joshua R Clark residence at 332 West Clark St. (unoccupied)

The J Reuben Clark historical farm at 378 W Clark St - the signage is new since we were last out to check (~2003)

The J Reuben Clark home at the Historical Farm - the house is older than it looks - it has been dressed up to house a pre-school which lost its other site and is using this one temporarily

Grantsvill Cemetery
Here are some headstones which might be familiar .... Probably self explanatory
