Prior to this new historic map, no other map of the Bountiful area was made from 1850 to 1938. Few streets were named. House numbers and additional street names were not used until 1940. Florence Turtle Foy wishes to thank everyone who offered historic information which made it possible for her to draft her turn-of-the-century map of Bountiful. The map is her contribution to the Bountiful Centennial program. All of the money from sales will be used in the Centennial celebration. In addition to many personal interviews in-terviews and records, her primary source was the 1900 Census records. She made hundreds of phone calls to confirm and augment information. According to Mrs. Foy's personal per-sonal knowledge, at 93 she is the oldest native still living in Bountiful City. She has lived in Bountiful all her life. If there are any other older Bountiful -born residents, she would very much like to hear from them. She continues actively writing histories. Amos P. Stone, Mrs. Foys great-grandfather, homesteaded Tuttle Hill. Stone Creek, which flows through the property, is named nam-ed for him. Stone lived on 400 East and Stone Creek. He later sold half his homesteaded property to his son-in-law, Newton Tuttle, who later sold it to Wilford Tuttle, Mrs. Foy's father. Mrs. Foy lives at 689 E. 400 North, next door to the red brick home where she was born, at 705 E. 400 North. It is the first home built on 400 North, east of 400 East.
