In addition to his job as director of the asylum, Pike kept up his private practice. In the spring of 1886, he entered into a partnership with Dr. Hardy. The two had their office above Smoot Drugstore on west Center Street near Academy Ave. Pike did well enough financially to invest in rental property in Provo. The 4th Ward Church once stood on 200 North be- tween Academy (University) Avenue and 100 East. Early IDS chapels were also used as social halls, schools and sites for civic meetings. Dr. Walter Pike and Miss Hannah Clark attended a surprise party for Dr. Giles in this building on Dec. 13, 1893. Later that evening, the two received more of a surprise Sudden tragedy When it seemed that things ,. were going well, tragedy struck the doctor's household in October 1892. Mrs. Pike died. She had made a large circle of friends in Provo despite her chronic ill health, and her funeral at the Provo Tabernacle was " well attended. To help ease his sorrow, Dr. Poke immersed himself in his occupation and delved into new activities. He campaigned for a seat in the territorial legislature in 1892 and won. While serving in the legislature, he introduced several bills regulating the medical and pharmacological professions. Because of his work in this area, he became known as Utah's father of medicine and pharmacy. After about a year spent in mourning, Dr. Pike developed a new love interest, Miss Hannah Clark, a native of Provo who was 23 years his junior. Hannah had graduated from Brigham Young Academy and was busy teaching music and drama. The two hoped to carry on a quiet courtship, and they succeeded until December 13. On that date, an incident occurred that loudly proclaimed their relationship to the entire population of Utah and Salt Lake counties. On the evening of Dec. 13, 1893, Dr. Pike drove his buggy than Dr. Giles.

They left the vehicle and the horse (a fine driving animal with a gentle disposition) in the care of Mr. Lewis and walked to the 4th Ward church, then lo- the hour when Provo's streetlight's were turned off . The absence of artificial lights comg clouds bined with made the night as dark as "a stack of black cats," according to the Deseret News. The darkness was so intense the two pedestrians found it difficult to locate the livery stable, a cated on the north side of 200 , North between Academy Avenue and 100 East. Once inside, the couple joined a surprise party for Professor Giles, an instructor at Brigham Young Academy. They left the hall about midnight. Unfortunately, that was low-hyin- Los Alamos lab to move some nuclear i materials to Nevada - Pike choose 100 North as the route to Hannah's home. It seemed an insignificant decision at the time, but Pike's choice led to a chilling shock mere two blocks away. It might have been romantic if a furious gale had not been blowing. Dr. Pike and Miss Clark arrived at the livery stable and climbed into the waiting buggy. Since Center Street was so badly rutted at that time of the year, and since Hannah lived four blocks west on 100 North, that undoubtedly exceeded the surprise Professor Giles had received at the party that night.
