Reflections on life and family history

The was the Sevier County Courthouse as it appeared in 1909. It was January when the Heaton trial began, but justice can be had in any season, even the dead of a Utah winter. Note the hitching poles in front of the fence. Also you can see the several chimneys along the side, very important since the only form of heat were the fireplaces in the building. The courthouse was located on Main street near the corner where US 89 comes into town and connects with Main street. The City park is just to the north. The presnt day ultra modern courthouse stands where this old beaut once was.
