Show 4 I Saturday , Sunday - Thursday, Feb. 23, Granger Ward Eyes Centennial Celebration GRANGER. former Members, members and friends are being in- vited to join in celebrations marking the centennial anniversary of the Granger ward. Now known as Granger 1st ward, the area covered by the original ward extended from the Jordan River to 4800 West. A history of the ward, compiled by Virginia Masters, explains that originally all land west of the river was known as West Jordan and the first ward organization affected in the west area was known as West Jordan. As the population on the west side of the valley increased, other wards were created from the original West Jordan ward, and Granger Ward was formed from that ward and Brighton ward. The organization took place on Feb. 24, 1884, with Daniel McRae as bishop, Abram Sorensen and John H. Bawden as counselors. Judge Elias Smith chose the name Granger, which means farm house, or association of farmers. Services were first held in a small frame school building erected on the site of Monroe school. In March, 1884, one acre of land was purchased for $50, on the corner of 3200 West and 3500 South. Ward membership at that time was 145. The meeting house took 11 years to build. A brick kiln was first made to provide bricks for the building. The building was dedicated on Nov. 17, 1895 by Abram H. Cannon. Lighting in the early building was provided by coal oil lamps, then in 1903 an acetyline tank was installed in the basement to generate power for lights. The tank was placed directly beneath the raised platform in the chapel on which the pulpit was plac- ed. On the evening of March 7, 1905, tragedy struck. An MIA meeting was in session, with Nellie Mackay, standing on the platform singing a solo, when a terrific explosion caused the floor of the chapel and the roof to raise into the air, then settle into the basement. The soloist was killed when the explosion lifted the organ and it came down on her, crushing her to death. Many others were injured and the entire congregation was shocked by the tragedy. Shocked, but relieved that there had not been more deaths, the members began immediately to rebuild and the new chapel was dedicated in February, 1906 by LDS Church president Joseph F. Smith. By 1930 the ward had a population of about 1,000 and by April, 1943 it was necessary to divide the ward, creating Granger 2nd ward. The population grew so fast the ward was again divided in 1951, making Granger 3rd ward. Within the ward boundaries at the evening.
