The modest build' home was some 100 years ago by Mitchells uncle George who was the county . surveyor at the time. At the time, the house had only three rooms, a living room, kitchen and small lean-t- o bedroom. Part of the foundation came from salvage materials left behind from the original Clinton Elementary School when the home was enlarged on both the east and west for another lean-t- o and an expanded living room. George later sold the home to Ellis Bennett, another relative, who lived there for only a few years in . the early 1920s. Fred Mitchell bought the home and 10 acres in 1924 for around Kaysville has land to develop into ball fields, but money is needed to build them, she said. There is a possibility for three fields at Barnes Park and a location for another at Ponds Park, to help take the load off the handful of already existing fields and those rented out from the Davis School District. To help build more fields, the board has worked out a fund-raiswith Gregs Garden Center at 315 N. Main, which will donate $1 for every Christmas tree and 50 cents for each poinsettia purchased by Kaysville residents. This money will go in the city recreation field and development fund. The department could also hold events such as a bike ride, art festi city-own- er . pieces. Pearce but land became a huge burden. World War II came along and Dad went to work at the Navy depot to fin ish paying it off, James said. Even though he was often pressed financially himself, Fred Mitchell was a generous man, helping the Kirkham family caught by hard times like so many others at the time by charging just a few dollars for rent. He rented the home until 1936 when he and his wife Ethel, decided they wanted to be more uptown and moved from the home they raised their children in just a few bio cks away. While living there Fred became the first town board chairman in a city that incorporated primarily to insure the city would continue to have a cemetery. President of the Central Irrigation Company, Fred was also instrumental in building cement ditches to serve farmers in the area. Much of the cement was poured for the ditches from a cement mixer Fred had built himself. Fred also ran for county commis- sioner but was unsuccessful at that attempt. Fred, then a widower, passed away in 1956, leaving the home to his son James. His son has kept his fathers tradition with the old farmhouse as he has rented it through the years, usually at considerably reduced prices and sometimes even free for children and relatives.

Luckily Myrtle, her husband, Herbert, and their two young sons were visiting a relative at the time and werent home when the winds came. The grey home was knocked off its foundation, stopped only by a large Box Elder tree to the east. That house would probably still be spinning through the air if it wasnt for that tree, said James Mitchell, whose father Fred rented the house to the Kirkhams for $6 a month on about 10 acres of land he continued to farm. It tore down the barn and stables. It took us two or three years to pick up the pieces. Mitchell said he remembers well the long hours of hauling rubbish from a field of tomatoes, being careful not to hurt the produce while loading large pieces of debris onto horse-draw- n wagons.
