Louis David Fayter
Louis David Fayter was born 12 December l859 Newton Poppleford, Devonshire,England. He was the son of William Henry Fayter and Susannah Baker. He left his home when
about l4 years of age to make his own way in life. He came to America as a stowaway on a ship,and worked his way to Utah, arriving in 1882. He was converted to the Church by David B. Brinton, of Holladay, in July 1882. He met and married Annie Maria Groom, she was staying with her sister Harriet G. Ward. Louis and Annie were married by Daniel H. Wells in the Old Endowment House 24 January 1884. Louis and Annie both attended the Dedication of the Salt Lake Temple 6 April 1893.
Louis built a 2 room adobe home, by himself, it was located back in the field on 39th South and 27th East. About l895 the family moved to home just east of l5th East and about 4047 South. Then in 1902 they bought a brick home from Nebe Jacklin on Highland Drive and 4046 South. Louis went on a mission for the church to England from 1897 to 1900, leaving his wife and family to care for the farm and make a living without him.
Louis Fayter was the first janitor of the Winder Ward, his girls would help him clean the Ward House. Louis furnished most of the wood for the stove from his own place. There was a heater for the basement, and to get to it you had to go down a dirt incline at the back of the church, there was a square opening on the floor with a grate over it, this was used to heat the dance floor and the room. The chapel above was heated with a stove. Annie and Ruth used to grind peach stones to a fine powder and sprinkle this on the floor to clean it and to make it slick for dancing. When the girls of the ward would stand near the grate to warm their feet, the air would blow their full skirts up. The boys would dance the girls close to the grate to hear them squeal when their
dresses would fly up. Louis Fayter furnished the flowers for the ward house from the time of the first meeting, l905 till his death in 1934, then his daughter Annie took over the job. Louis raised some of the finest flowers in the county.
He had about 7 ½ acres of ground where he raised fruits and vegetables, besides all the fine flowers. He had two green houses where he raised his seeds and then planted them out. The one green house was just north of the house on Highland Drive but he had to give that one up because the boys would break all the windows. The other green house was located just below the canal. He had a fire place on the outside and then had pipes of brick going inside under the benches to
keep the flowers and seeds from freezing and make them grow. Louis taught his children the art of raising flowers, berries and also how to pick them, while their mother Annie taught the girls the art of making hats, cooking, and keeping house, which she was talented in all she did. Louis took his vegetables and flowers to the Fair, where he came home with first prizes and many sweepstakes. At one time he had his picture in the Deseret News for raising the tallest and largest Dahlias, some were nine feet tall and some of the blooms measured eight inches across. His rose garden was the one of the finest and he had rose bushes lining his path from the road to the house. If one of his roses was picked he could tell, he always picked his own flowers.
Louis had a nice big barn just below the green house, a large cellar behind the house. The water was furnished for the house by a pump which was located just south of the house. There was no plumbing inside the house. The home consisted of front room 3 bedrooms, kitchen, pantry and large screened in back porch. The kitchen was exceptionally large and very cheerful with windows all on the south side. There was a nice chicken coop to the west and south of the
house. There was a large orchard below the canal. Louis took care of his farm himself. He was short and stocky and the thickest head of hair. When his mustache and hair turned white he was really a handsome man.
Louis watered his front yard from a spring from the Casper property, the ditch came along the front in front of Englands' property, to the Fayter property. Louis David Fayter died the 20 December 1934 at his home, 4046 Highland Drive. He was buried in the family plot in the Elysian Burial Gardens. His funeral was conducted Sunday at 1 p.m. in the Winder Ward. Bishop Thomas 0.Gundersen officiated. Kingdon and Lees Mortuary were in charge. This history was taken from papers left to his daughter Annie. Clifton and Maurine Cook put this history together.
