Young, J.M.
Barlow, a jeweler of Salt Lake City, made, in his office,
a set of dies for $5.00 pieces. He refined the gold
and coined it into money. This one denomination was
all the jeweler coined. It is reported that this coin
was of perfect workmanship, unexcelled by the federal mints.
It was regularly coined until prohibited by Governor
Alfred Cummings, Utah's first non-Mormon chief executive. see also: The Deseret Mint |

Ann Hulme Barlow, daughter of George
and Ann Barlow Hulme was born May 03, 1826 in Little
Heaton, Lancashire, England. She was baptized into the
Latter-day Saint Church in March, 1842. She
was a hand weaver in one of the silk mills near
Manchester. Ann married her cousin Thomas
Barlow. Two children, Edward and Walker were born in England. Thomas
and Ann with their sons left Liverpool on the ship Siddons
February 27, 1855. When they arrived at Pittsburg,
Thomas and Ann stopped to visit two brothers, George and
Uri Hulme. Thomas found employment in a confectionery and bakery
and the family resided there six years during which time
three more children were born to Ann, Elizabeth Ann,
George Thomas and Abraham. When the baby was a few
days old they started on their journey to Utah. The
hardships of the journey were too much for Ann and
she soon became ill. The baby died the 3rd of August
1861 and was buried by the wayside. Ann died sixteen
days later and was buried on the left hand
side of the road ten miles west of Deer Creek Station
in Wyoming.
Thomas and their four children continued the journey
and arrived in Salt Lake City the 13th of September,
1861 in the Joseph Horne company.

| Volume 6, Monuments Erected by
D. U. P. Bancroft’s First School—No. 232 |
Just one block west from this site
in 1894, Pioneers of this area erected a school which
was built of red brick made and kilned by them. It
was 25 by 40 feet. Guss Eriekson laid the bricks. First
teachers were Edith Townsend and Nathan
Barlow. In 1907 the
school was sold to the LDS Church and additional
rooms were built and was used for place of worship until
1930.
A bell hanging in a tower on the building called the people
to school, church and other assemblies. When the building
was razed in 1945, the bell was presented to the Daughters
of Utah Pioneers. Camp Louie, Camp Alice A.Caribou Co.,
