New Series on Naples Ward History Begins in 1881
This installment chronicles early Naples Ward during 1881 with six families including Merrells and Remingtons. It notes the Merrell home location, lack of church, and a mother’s Sabbath preparations. It covers the 1883 church formation by Elder Hatch, the first school in Lydia Remington’s granary, and El der Merrell’s pivotal canal project and its dangers. The piece previews further history and community developments through 1895, with leaders and schools outlined.
