Parents, Samuel and Hannah Searls from Ontario, Canada.
Enock P. Searles, often called the father of our town, came before the townsite was laid out. He was the agent and trustee for the Ripon Colony with acquired large holdings before the Northern Pacific had completed its line through the territory. Under Mr. Searles' supervision, the townsite of Park City, embracing one square mile, was laid out.
"Dad" Enock P. Searles was born June 9, 1848 in Canada. At a very early age, he moved with his parents to Wisconsin. Here he grew to manhood and married.
He learned the carpenter trade and his name is connected with nearly every important phase of development or history in Park City. Mr. Searles settled on one of the finest ranches in the valley, one mile east of Park City, known now as the John Fox farm.
Mr. and Mrs. Searles were the parents of one daughter, Minnie Goodall. J. A. Russell bought their farm and they moved in town.
Mrs. Searles maintained her home in Park City her remaining years. Mr. Searles accepted a position of night watchman in the railroad yards at Laurel. Here he was hurt on December 27, 1918 and died three hours later.
