[58]There is a difference of opinion as to the location of the cabin. O.
D. Gifford placed it about ⅙ mile above the lodge, on a flat since
washed away by the river. E. C. Behunin, after an absence of 57
years, placed it near the forks of the road that lead to the lodge
and swimming pool. He was evidently mistaken, for his description of
the location of his father’s farm seems to indicate that Gifford’s
location is correct. He was certain that the old river meander just
north of the lodge (now artificially filled in) was not there in the
early days, but the physical evidences before straightening the
river and building the permanent road definitely indicate that it
was. Heap’s farm, which he says was separated from his father’s by
the river, was above this meander. James H. Jennings, who owned the
place afterward, says that Behunin was mistaken. (Interview with
James Jennings at Rockville, Utah, August 15, 1933).
