KAYSVILLE KINKS #100 IN SERIES - APRIL 1899
  • H. J. Sheffield has put in a patent coal oil tank in his store which makes it very safe and convenient.
  • Bicyclists should bear in mind that there is an order against riding on the sidewalks.
  • Jimmie Kilfoyle has gone on the sandridge to help drive some of Mr. Ellison's sheep herds out to Blue Creek. (NE Box Elder Co.)
  • The City Council of Kaysville seems to have solved the transient gypsy question. They ordered the road supervisor to collect poll tax on every gypsy that was of age. Why, it would kill nearly every gypsy to make them work for two days. Try the same thing on the tramps.
  • Notices will be posted calling the mass meeting for Tuesday next. Everyone is tired of the fight and will be glad if the matter is finally disposed of. (The separation of Kaysville and Layton) The agreement will carry with it a proposition to curtail the limits of Kaysville City so as to leave Layton outside, which after all, is what the people have wanted all along.
  • William Garlick, the soldier was very sick again with Malaria.
  • The Kaysville City Council decided to insure the city hall for $1,000 in the Home Fire Insurance Company. Heretofore a $3,000 policy has been carried on the building.

     On August 1, 2018 Kristine decided to begin a series of excerpts from the newspaper called These excerpts were taken from articles about local happenings/gossip/announcements etc. It tells a story and gives a feel for Kaysville back in the day. 
    Kaysville Kinks were originally published on the the Facebook group page, Our Kaysville Story.  Click on the link to join the group page.

     Kristine is an amazing lady who loves the town she grew up in, her family, and the color purple.
