Work May Have Been Hard But Pioneers They Weren't CENTERVILLE Moving Mov-ing heavy rocks to form retention reten-tion walls and fences may have required hard work, but those doing the backbreaking labor weren't "rugged pioneers". A CAPTION appearing in last, week's newspaper indicated indi-cated stone walls in North Centerville had been constructed con-structed by some of Utah's early settlers to Davis County. That was in error. That project, along with many others still dotting the county and area, was the result of efforts by the Federal Civilian Civi-lian Conservation Corps, a work program instituted in the Great Depression during Franklin D. Roosevelt's administration. admi-nistration. That would place construction construc-tion of the walls pictured at sometime in the 1930s.
