The Clark family’s agricultural roots run deep, beginning with Ezra T. Clark, an early Utah pioneer and devoted member of the LDS Church, who played a vital role in the colonization and agricultural development of the Utah Territory. In 1867, Brigham Young tasked Ezra with constructing a gristmill in Weber Valley to support local farming. Alongside the mill, Ezra acquired land, establishing the foundation for a family-run agricultural enterprise. With the help of his sons, Joseph Smith Clark and Charles R. Clark, the mill became part of a larger farming operation. The family documented their day-to-day lives in detailed diaries, chronicling the challenges of maintaining the mill, farming, and enduring Utah’s arid climate and harsh winters.
As the Clark family grew, so did their farming operations. In 1901, Ezra divided his land among his 17 children, allowing them to develop their own agricultural ventures. Charles R. Clark, inheriting properties in Morgan, Utah, and Georgetown, Idaho, expanded the family’s farming capacity. Charles’s son, Wallace Clark, played a significant role in advancing farming practices, acquiring additional land and diversifying into produce, dairy, and dry farming. The Clarks began trucking produce like onions, cabbage, and potatoes across Idaho and Wyoming, and by the 1930s, automated their dairy operations, increasing herd size and efficiency. Despite facing challenges like the Great Depression and dry farming difficulties, the Clarks thrived through resilience and innovation, leaving a lasting legacy in Morgan County.
