John Day Sr. and home in Enterprise, Utah

To John goes the honor of establishing the first store and post office in the town of Enterprise. Around the year 1900, he had a small stock of merchandise in his home. Later he constructed a lumber building on the north west corner of his lot, (100 east Main Street) which he used for a store for many years. When he became Post Master he used the back part of the store for the post office. Later he built on to the east side of the store to make room for the post office.
On November 17, 1902 there came an earthquake which gave the little town quite a shake up. John's daughter Emma was caring for the store at the time of the quake. She states that canned goods, packages of tea, and bottles of olive oil came tumbling down from the shelves of the store.
Later the home was sold to Granddaughter Geneva, where she lived all of her life. It was then remodeled and passed down to Geneva's daughter Jerilyn.
