Grouse Creek Forum

We own the home West of the Rodeo Grounds. I think it was originally owned by Val and Hattie Tanner. Many people have lived in the house, including Eula. If any of you know any of the history and have any pictures of anyone living in it, I would love to get hold of them. Lots of people have offered, but never contacted us. Thanks. Barb Davies

My notes indicate the following families lived at that residence.

William Kimber Family
Joseph Kimber Family
Val Tanner Family
Bobert Beucher Family

There are personal histories for each individual with the exception of Robert. Verna Richardson is currently compiling a book that will include all of the residences of Grouse Creek. You may want to contact her if you want any additional information.

I "think" that your home was built by Bill Kimber. He and Bertha and their family lived down at the Kimber ranch. I don't remember if they lived in your house. He also planted the pine trees on the north of your house. (If they are still there). He also built the kitchen cabinets, closets etc. at out house. I sure did enjoy your talks in sacrament meeting last week. It sounds like you have some wonderful experiences. Love, Dorothy
