Kohl has retired after 39 years of continuous service as a merchant in Duchesne. A few weeks ago the balance of his stock in the Duchesne business' was transferred to the corporation known as Geo. C. Kohl Co., Inc. Starting in 1916 in a small store selling meats and groceries, Mr. Kohl expanded his business to the present modern department store known to everyone in Duchesne county. Long hours and hard work were necessary," says Mr. Kohl, when I commenced selling groceries in the young town of Duchesne. For several months, my day would begin at 4 a.m. and would not end until after 11 p.m. I would bring my lunch, so I wouldnt need to close during the noon hour. The long hours began to take their toll, so Mr. Kohl and Tom Firth formed a partnership in this first store that Mr. Kohl operated. It was located west of the postoffice now occupied by a service station. Born In Nebraska Mr. Kohl was bom in Hastings, Nebraska, and came to the Uintah Basin in 1905 with an uncle, and remained here for a year before returning to Nebraska. In 1910 he came back to Duchesne and took up a homestead in Indian Canyon and raised cattle. Later he moved into Duchesne and helped build the bridge north of town over the Duchesne River, and helped with the construction of the Rocky Point Canal. His part of the construction work on the canal was holding a scraper drawn by a fast team. About this job he says, Holding a scraper in cobble rocks is bad enough, but behind a fast team, you are off the ground half the time in trying to keep the handles at the right angle to load. He also worked with Andrew Clemons, Biy Spratt and Fred Oldstrom doing assessment work on gilsonite mines in the Book Cliffs. - About 1913 Mr. Kohl recalls he became fed up with outdoor work. That year, with Roy Cook, Jack and Rae Lee, Albert Peterson and Charley Brown, he cut ' (Continued on Back Page) Tho IVcsthcr In Duchcsno City |
