A new on was bom to Betty Johnson and Vance Sagers at the Salt Lake LDS Hospital on Feb. 22. Mrs. Newman. the daughter of Benjamin Pearce Evans and Mary Bowen is 97. She has been of Rush Valley for a msid.-over 90 years, moving to Centre, a small community settled In 1963 midway between St. John and Vernon which today Is abandoned. Her parents were Welch converts to the LDS Church. Benjamin Pearce Evans of Cardigan County North Wales presided over the Welch Conference assisted by William Ajax and John Davis. He saded for America on the "Antartic" and was Captain over 12 wagon on the trek West. He died at Centre December 26. 1891. MARY GLADYS Newman was born in Salt Lake City before the advent of the railroad December II, 1866 and was brought by her parents as a child of four to Centre, wh-- re she lived for 25 years. When William Ajax was attracted to Rush Valley by the rapidly developing mining activity in 1869, Centre (sometimes misspelled "Center) was already esta6-lishe- d and situated east of the present railroad tracks. After the establishment of his store on the roadway west from Centre, the area was also referred to as "Ajax. Another nam attached to Centre was "Pucker-ville.- " MOBILE MAID DISHWASHER with Mg in l0 LI RACK LIFT-TO- P Km nt Mi 00 0o 0 CONVENIENCE Moke loot Mf and vnloadin af ditha Mty. lit up wiiti Ha lid almotl hands you tho dithat. .,.

Richard Duke and Ed Meredith were two unmarried residents. David Jeremy lived here also and early in the 70's a post office was established at the Ajax Store. The mail was carried between Stockton and Vernon via St. John. Cfo-ve- r, and Centre by Ephriam De. St. Jeor, William Ahlstrom, Joseph Tanner and D. E. Davis. Centre was sometimes referred to as "Six-mil- e Ridge, because of its distance from Clover and settlers were attracted to the area by the vast meadows of wild hay. They were upon livestock tor an income, mostly sheep and Faust Creek for water. This creek beginning in the area northwest of Vernon and flowing down to the Ridge was a source of supply until its waters were diverted by the ranches toove. The old creek bed can still be seen. THE WATERS of this creek were backed up so that Mary Evans Newman and Fanny Ajax Stookey might be baptiz- - 8Z2-t5- 4t frsst; two baptiima, the ritea were performed at the Warm Springt, north-eas- t of st. John, now the sue of a ranch operated by and Claudia Shields. Henry Thomas was the first presiding Elder at Centre, which had been organized at a branch of the LDS Church. Some of hia reside In Stockton today. One traveler described the Ajax Store in the Deseret News, 14 July 1900, as follows: "In driving from Vernon to Clover Creek Is encountered one of the most peculiar and unique buildings of modern times. We awoke at lait to find ourselves in a "dugout" on a mammoth scale, known aa the Ajax Store, carrying a larpe stock of general merchandise; its dimensions. 100 x 80 feet In some parts of the huge excavation, the depth must be about 20 feet from the surface-th- e dirt roof, supported by strong timber, planned and placed as the miner would timber up a tunnel In a mine. Thla great dugout la lighted in a peculiar way. One part of the roof falls away to the south about four feet, like a fault In a mine. Here the builder haa put in a row of windows which receive the light from the south and the greatcave below la wonderfully in every part from these windows, which are more than twenty feet above the floor. AU the dirt it is said of this excavation, was removed by Mr. Ajax with a wheelbarrow. He would work at hi task long In the night THE PEOPLE of Mercur, those who have leisure, bring their visitors from the east or west to see the stcre as it Is considered one of the special place of interest." Mary Newman lived at Centre from when ahe moved to St. John. Four years later William Ajax d'ed, but the tore was operated by the family until 1913 when Mercur dosed down and the completion of the Leamington Cut-of- f Railroad earlier materially reduced the wagon road travel through Rush Valley. Today all that remains of the store is a rounded depression ragged, which is one mile from the southwest border of Deseret De pot Activity and 75 yards to the east of Highway 36 where milepost No. 33 is posted. Mrs. Fath Sagers, a daughter of Mrs. Newman, writes of the hardships encountered or. the Ridge: "For the housewife living at Centre without any conveniences, it meant plenty of hard work. Culinary water had to be carried in buckets from a well over a city block away and although a dug-ou- t is warm (the family lived in a for many years) . partial dug-ou- t it is hard to keep clean. I understand the Evans' home had a room or two built in front of the dug-ou- t, which may or may not have been a blessing. AFTER THE family moved to St. John, Mother clerked in John Russell's store (Rush Valbuild bn the corner ley Co-o- p of the lot by present home of Mervin Russell.) At this time she met Charles Newman and they were married June 14, . 1897 in Tooele. Her husband was killed by lightning while herding sheep for J. W. Russell Sr., in Ophir. To this union six children were bom: Warren Dean (deceased), Mrs. Faith Sagers, St. John; Mrs. Blanche Scott. Spokane, Wash.; Mrs. Leah Bryan, Ely, Nev., and Vern and Merrill Newman, of Magna. The December issue of the Relief Society magazine noted her 97th birthday.
