Information about store in Cornish, Utah.  Purchased from Mr. Doan.
There was another store in town and it was run by the Hunters.  They wanted all the business and eventually got it and Dad had to quit because so many people owed him money and wouldn't pay.  I have wondered what happened when Dad moved to Ogden; did he just close up the store and leave, sell it to someone or what happened to the property as far as legal records go.  May have been taken over by County Assessor and sold for taxes.

Research of Logan Temple film for April 1916 gave no indication of SEALING.  Did mother and dad think that the endowment took care of sealing?? (Research done at Salt Lake Gen Library 2 Nov 2000)
