From pp 297-298 of Andrew Karl Larson's book, "I Was Called To Dixie". Up the river about five miles from Washington the United Order of Brigham City established a cotton farm during the winter of 1874-1875 under the leadership of James May. They erected a substantial two- story rock house--its well-built walls still remain to this day--, took out the water of the Virgin, and began farming an excellent tract of forty or fifty acres of land on the right bank of the river just above the spot where the river intersects the Virgin Anticline. The people were called on two-year missions there, and they produced some good cotton. The impermanency of the inhabitants along with the high cost of keeping the water on the land led to its abandonment in the fall of 1879. The land was farmed for many years after Camp Lorenzo (named for Lorenzo Snow who presided at Brigham City) was sold by its founders, but for many years now it has lain deserted.
