During the first fifteen years of its Beaver's history, early (Note: who is population consisted almost entirely of the Mormon of membership Church. The history of that church and its leading members made up community proceedings. With the influx of the outside element incident to the locating at Beaver of the Second Judicial Court in 1870; the mining population following the discovery of the Horn Silver Mine at Frisco; the establishing of the branch of the U.S. Land Office; the coming of the U.S. troops who founded Camp Cameron, together with deflection from the dominant church, of necessity created a situation where these heterogeneous elements might unite under a common movement in church activities and affiliation. In pursuance of this movement, through popular conMethodist-Episcopof the tributions Church organizations, a small frame building was erected on the premises of William (Beer) Thompson, opposite the Court House (east) in 1873. Services were conducted on the premises as well as the first school work by Pastor Clark Smith. As the congregation grew in numbers the seating capacity of this small building became too limited, when steps were taken to locate nearer the central part of town. Negotiations were made with James Gibson in March 1875 whereby a site for building was secured adjacent to where Neilsen's garage later stood. Wm. E. Smith, Ed. W. Thompson and C. C. Woodhouse were made a body of Trustees for the Church and immediately steps were taken for the building. Here services were conducted and a Parochial school was established. All religious elements (except the Mormon Church) in the community united under a common a and fraternal Brotherhood fellowship. Dr. Thomas C. Illiff, head of the Western Diocese of the the included which church, Territory of Utah, made personal visits to Beaver. He was a powerful speaker and by reason of his powerful eloquence brought into the fold of al his church many penitent souls. The Rev. George Stokes, who came to Beaver as an appointee of the President of the United States for the position of postmaster, succeeding Hon. Horace A. Skinner, was an enthusiastic devotee of his church in proselyting. The Rev. George E. Jaynes succeeded Pastor Clark Smith in the pastorate of the church, and under his direction the school was conducted by Mrs. Britt, till 1878.. In April, 1879 the commodious annex on the south of the original structure was erected, under the direction and supervision of Rev. Erastus Smith. The new auditorium had a seating capacity of about two hundred persons. The services were well attended the troops by and the citizens of Beaver. A choir of well balanced voices was organized and a spirit of good fellowship prevailed. Deacon Robert H. Burk, immaculate in his Prince Albert suit and silk hat was an efficient worker in the cause. Miss Ida Bardwell became the principal instructor in the educational department of church work. Mr. Gillian was a man of unusual talents and was highly educated. He taught Latin and Greek and other advanced studies comparable to a college course. During this period the church had attained its zenith in membership and activity. On the departure of Mr. Gillian for Salt Lake City where he continued his school work there was experienced a noticeable decline in church work and progress. The cause for this disintegration was due to matters which the writer will not attempt to define. The church as an organization became almost obsolete with the passing of the century. However, the spiritual and educational awakening caused by the church and school activities, through the untiring efforts of the Pastors and members, left its impress for good among the communicants. The old church structure still stands as a silent reminder of better days. It is now being used as a garage. It seems almost a desecration for a building once sanctified and hallowed with religious services, now to be polluted with grime and uncleanliness. (To be continued next week . . .)
