Go with us now back through the years to view the Riverdalc community through the experiences of Riverdales oldest native, Mrs. Polly Child Allen, age 88 Her parents, Myron Barber Child and his wife, Emeline Elmer, were pioneers of 1851. They originally came from New York. Upon arriving in Utah they settled at Bingham's Fort in Ogden. As the Indians became more friendly people began branching out in all directions from there. It was In 1856 that Mr. and Mrs. Child bought 80 acres of land on the north side of the road in Riverdale and built a log house just in front of the present home of Mrs Ethel Hunter. Settlement of the community had begun in 1850 when James Graham, Elisha Lane, Mr. Kilburn, and Win-throFarley filed claims on the land here. p When the Child family arrived they found some of their fellow citizens to be Rufus Allen, Daniel Burch. Thomas Slater, John Bright, James Health, Richard Woolsey, Nathaniel Leavitt, Mr. Truly, Riley Cole, and Daniel Ross. That same year Adam Fife, Alexander Patterson, John Smith and in Riverdale ENTHlSIATIC crowd turned out Friday night for the open house and dedication of Roys new Municipal Building and Fire Department. Originally the Arsenal Villa administration building. It has been remodeled and renamed Municipal Acre by the City f Roy. The spacious building now house the city offices, police de pertinent, fire house and all the new equipment of which the rommunitv is so proud. Photo bv Gordon Howes AN The settlement was strung along' the river and along the roadway, hence it was called Stringtown Years later the names was changed t Riverdale. It was into this little community that Myron Child's 10th child, Polly, was born on Nov. 13. 1867 She attended school until she was 14 years of age in the rock school house which stood where the Riverdale chapel is now. Across the street from her home was the tannery where the Hosier home is now located Life was much the same for her as for all the other girls of her time. She helped with the family washing ironing, cooking, sewing, soap making spinning and weaving Her father was a policeman in Ogden City for many years He was very immaculate in his dress and always wore a stiff front white shirt which she, early in life, had to learn to iron for him In his position as road supervisor. Mr Child had a prominent part in the construction of the road at Devil's Gate. Before Pollys marriage she was active in the Young Ladies Mutual Improvement Assn , which was at first connected with the Relief Society. She married William Allen, son of pioneer Rufus Allen, on March 16, 1887 in the Logan Temple. They built a house on the land which was his 'share of the estate. As their familly grew they bought his sister Harriet's share of the estate and added more rooms to their home. In 1907 they purchased a nearby brick home from Daniel P. and Mary A. Stephens. It is the one Lyle Farrer recently purchased from the Allen family. Mr. and Mrs. Allen raised 10 of their 11 children.
