William Lowe Young
According to “Pioneers and Prominent Men of Utah” William Lowe Young helped survey the Preston town site, the Mink Creek Ditch, the Cub River Ditch, and helped build the first railroad in Utah.
His family notes that he was a prominent leader in the building of the ONEIDA STAKE ACADEMY and the Logan Temple (of which he was very proud).
Lowe built one of the first log homes in Preston with a dormer window on the roof. It stood just south of the Preston Cemetery. He owned that farm and the land running north of it to the cemetery.
He was married twice, first to Helen Bunting, and second to Julia Widdowson Reeves.
He had several children, and was beloved by both friends and family.
