<p>The Utah County Record of Water Claims, records the deed for the water in Cedar Fort as number one. It was recorded October 21, 1880, by L.J. McCulla, Hyrum Tanner, Water Commission, Utah County, Utah Territory. It was filed in order to claim the right to the water from North Canyon, Spring Creek and Cedar Fort Spring.<br/>February 25, 1901, John Drysdale, President and Directors, William Cook, John Hacking and James Peterson, Sr., and principals James E. Garn, James P. Clark, S.M. Smith and Henry Hacking signed, sealed and delivered a bond to Utah County, State of Utah that formed the Cedar Fort “Erigating” Company. It stated that they had been duly elected, and they they were duly sworn according to law, on oath to say, that they would well and faithfully do, and perform the duties of their offices to the best of their abilities, judgment and skill, and that they would not do, or consent to the doing, of any matter relating to the business of said association with intent to defraud any stockholder or creditor. The document was signed in the present of D.L. Thomas, Justice of the Peace. They paid a fee of two hundred dollars at that time. (Note the spelling of the document is “Erigating” Company.)</p>
<p>This document is in the possession of Bernard Cook, give to him by his father. (See copy herein.)<br/>By record, the Cedar Fort Irrigation Company was formed with Articles of Incorporation in 1904, which was to last for fifty years. It was refiled and renewed in 1954 by Glen Peterson, Jack Welker and Ernil Cook. The officers were to be chosen by popular vote to administer company business. The company owned no water as a company, it was owned entirely by stockholders. It was formed for the mutual benefit of all stockholders. The company neither buys nor sells stock. Each stockholder has a certificate which represents the stock shares he privately owns. He or she can do with it as he sees fit within the by-laws of the company.</p>

<p><strong>John Drysdale, an early pioneer of Cedar Fort... ''</strong>He was in the Tintic war and took part in the skirmish in which George and <strong>Washburn</strong> Carson were killed.'' </p>
<p>- In further reading - I find a George Carson and a <strong>Washington</strong> Carson listed - see below - unsure which reference is correct but I will confirm thru my Catholic sources.</p>
