Shumway - Morris Home


160 North Main Street

Jedediah Shumway , the owner  in 1909, was the builder of this one-and-a-half story, frame crosswing home.  He was a well read rancher and cattleman, active in civic and church affairs.   In 1942, the house was sold to Julia E. Morris.  Her husband, Elgin Morris, came to Southern Utah to teach school in Fredonia, Arizona.  He became the manager for the Southern Utah Power Company, and later for California Pacific Electrical Company.  The present owners are Jessica and Michael Hand.
