The pond that took the life of an 11-year-old American Fork boy Thursday is a natural spring-fed body of deep, cold water west of Lehi that's been popular with kids for decades. William Nathan Williams, who could not swim, died in the pond.
The Mill Pond - earlier known as Mulliner's Mill Pond - is deep, and has claimed a number of lives over the years.
Originally, the pond served to help turn the water wheel and grind the corn for Mulliner's Mill. Later, it was used by the Utah Sugar Co. in the washing and processing of sugar beets.
According to Lehi history books, while the Mill Pond had a certain romantic charm and served as a site for scores of LDS baptisms as well as ice skating and swimming parties, its deep, frigid waters have smothered several lives.
Moroni Anderson, a 10-year-old boy playing in the pond on May 12, 1866, fell in, and his body was not recovered for two weeks.
