It is no longer there, but the location of this LDS Seminary building was on the west of Main Street in Nephi, Utah at about 135 North Main. It was built between what was known as the Silver Maple Service Station(now Utah Community Bank) and the UWANNA Driver INN(now Nephi Western Credit Union). The Seminary building was where Nephi High School Students could leave the High School(now the Juab County Complex) and take religion classes. As Highway 91 became a modern highway and too many near crashes with students, a new Seminary building was built north of the high school(which now serves as the very crowded Nephi Police Station). The old seminary building was used for various things including the office of the County Attorney. It has now been demolished. Two of the first Seminary teachers was James H. Ockey Sr. on the tope floor and Mrs. Edna Cazier was in the basement(one of first women to be Seminary teacher) She was born in 1895. Wife of Gerald and said to be a very Classy Women, by one of her students.
Yes...good old Seminary days!!! Mr. Ockey's was in the top floor.
ReplyDeleteThe lady was Mrs. Cazier, & was in the basement. She was always very elegant looking (my teacher both years). I believe her name might have been Evelyn...(altho I might be putting Mrs. Lomax's first name (from high school) onto to her. If I remember a different one, I'll let you know.
