Courthouse Pillar

A relic of yesteryear:

One pillar of the old granite and rod iron fence that used to surround the courthouse remains...

Update!

After posting about the granite pillars in front of the court house, Sean Beckstead's question of where they went led to more research. An article from the BENJ 8/21/1923 noted that the front gate was purchased by the Bear River Ward for their chapel. I don't know if they were there for a time but Seth Bott recognized them as the gate at the northwest entrance of the cemetery in Bear River City. Maybe others knew they were there but this was an exciting find for us!
