Hatch History

I went to check out Hatch Dam History today with Sybil Taylor (Paul Woodward's sister). She is great fun. We picked up Beth Allred who rode out to show us where it used to be then back to the museum to see some old photos. They are glass covered and so easy to get a glare, but I was able to take a couple that turned out sort of good. You can see the old church/school close. The water is flowing from the dam. You can see Hatch in the distance.
While there, I took the picture of the bed carved by Great-Grandpa Carling. He had several items there. The baby bed was made by George Deliverance Wilson
who stopped the storm. Beth said that Val Huntington (Hal Shurtz daughter) had some big pictures of the old dam, so we went to look at them. They had been to Richfield that morning and someone had given her a picture of Calvin, Dean, Gordon and ?. I asked her for that one. Dean is about 15 or so. Or younger. She said she would. The picture shown above is Hatch Dam. The glare isn't so good.
Sybil has a million stories about her dad and Paul and others. She talked and told many. She showed me where Paul's and her grandpa lived and how he watched the things washed away by the flood go by. We had fun.
