Enoch Hillyard, 83, former Auburn farmer and rancher for many years, and Afton motel owner for 18 years, died Thursday Jan. 27, 1977 at Manti, Utah of congestive heart failure. He and his wife Elona had moved to Manti, only three months ago.
Funeral services were held Saturday, Jan 29, at 1 p.m. in the Afton Second-Third Ward Chapel, with Counselor O. David Gardner of the Third Ward conducting. Burial was in the Auburn Cemetery with military honors by VFW Post 4797.
He was born April 1, 1893 at Smithfield, Utah, the second son of Hyrum and Amelia Hansen Hillyard. He attended Smithfield schools and finished the 8th grade. Following schooling he worked with his father in the canyon and at a sawmill until his family moved to Star Valley, Wyo. in 1912.
At age 16 he assumed responsibility for the family's welfare when his father became permanently crippled. They arrived in Star Valley June 13, 1912, settling in Auburn.
He was married to Emma Elona Gardner June 9, 1920 in the Logan LDS Temple. They raised their family in Auburn where Eno was a farmer and rancher and later a merchant operating a country store until 1958, when they moved to Afton.
During his farming days Eno pioneered dry farming techniques and was instrumental in road improvements and getting transportation for school students.
When he moved to Afton in 1958, he built the Hillyard Motel, which he and his wife operated until 1976.
He installed the first sprinkler irrigation system in Star Valley on his property near Afton. This operation increased yield so much that others soon began using the same system.
The Hillyards sold their motel in Afton to Lower Valley Power and Light, Inc. and moved to Manti, Utah in October 1976 to be near their daughter, Beth, and lived there until his death.
Enoch enlisted for military service in June 1918, and served in France during World War I. He was honorably discharged.
He was an Elder int he LDS Church, taught Sunday School, accompanied high councilors on various speaking assignments, and was active in promoting and financing many church buildings. He was active in missionary work and also did much temple work in the Logan Temple.
He is survived by a daughter, Mrs Max (Beth) Call, Manti, Utah; 12 grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. One daughter Bardella preceded him in death.
