Martha Spence Heywood wrote this description in her journal on May 2nd, 1852; Sunday. Had a meeting to regulate about the school and it was decided that school would commence forthwith engaging Can-ac- e Smith to teach at the rate of five dollars a week and board herself. . This woman was the first school teacher in Nephi. Other articles list Martha Heywood as the first teacher. This is in error, however. She soon was to become the second teacher. She explains it this way. To our great surprise we found that Candace left for Manti vacating her position after six weeks tried of it; she being somewhat dissatisfied with some of the people and the people being generally dissatisfied with her management as School Teacher. In another few weeks Sister Heywood was persuaded to teach the children thj basic of an education. She had about seventeen students. There is not space to recount all of the schools that were set up in this early period, suffice it to say, many schools were established, most of them in homes or small buildings. As the valley grew in population larger schools were established and at the end of the Pioneer period most children could obtain a good education to the eighth grade. The Journal History for the Church gives the following statistics for Juab County in 1869 of which Juab Valley was the only inhabitated area of any consequence: Juab County. 4 districts in county, 3 districts repotred. 4 schools, 4 male teachers. 207 boys in county between 4 and 16 4 and 16 years. 239 girls in county between 100 feenrolled. scholars 88 male years. male scholars enrolled. 197 total enrolled. 444 per cent of names enrolled.cent141 averof popage daily attendance. 3714 per ulation actually attending school. $1200 00 Also total amount paid to male teachers. months school has teachers. to paid build-inbeen taught during the year. $1000.00 of the fund raised.

Sister Martha Spence Heywood recorded that they had a good meeting and all acknowledged the goodness of the Lord. It has been erroneously written in a history of Nephi that the first L.D.S. Ward was organized in Nephi in November 1852, with Jacob G. Bigler as Bishop. There was no ward in Nephi at this time. Joseph L. Heywood was president of the Nephi branch of the Church and therefor leader of the people. Jacob G. Bigler was called to be the Presiding Bishop of all the people in Juab County, which at this time included the Saints in Nephi; a small settlement on Clover Creek (now Mona) and others. Among his duties was the managing of tithing. (Brough, p. 63) In 1853 the people became dissatisfied with Brother Heywood as their President and succeeded in replacing him with Jacob G. Bigler. Thus Brother Bigler served a dual position as Bishop of Juab County and President of the Nephi Branch.
