notes: Multiple 1870s sources, including Deseret News ward directories (1873-03-19 p.8) and May 1876 Stake Conference (MS 1876-06-19) list only one St. George Ward. Were 1st-4th dependent districts? By 1877, they had separate schools, Relief Societies, Sunday Schools, YLMIA/YMMIA, but were still under a single presiding bishop and United Order, and likely still met together on Sunday. At the 1877 Priesthood Reorganization, presiding bishops were eliminated, and the wards became clearly independent congregations.? assertion #3055903 by bplewe on 2020-12-06: confidence 50%.
notes: On 17 April 1877, Walter Granger, bishop of the Third Ward, was ordained the bishop of the Second Ward. Around this time, the 2nd/3rd Ward boundary was moved one block north (1st South to Tabernacle) to shift Granger and other members from the large Third Ward to the much smaller Second Ward, but we have not found any direct documentation of this. assertion #4007433 by bplewe on 2020-12-06: confidence 100%.
