Pleasant Valley Ward Among the first employees on the Pleasant Valley Railroad was John Bartlett, of Springville, who, after assisting in building the road, held many responsible positions in connection with it and was later connected with the D. & R. G. Railroad. Trondhjem Conference A district known as the Liberty District, and later as the Liberty Ward, came into existence in 1905, when the Uintah Indian Reservation was thrown open for settlement by white people. Liberty included what later became known as North Liberty, South Liberty, Lapoint, Moffatt and Randlett. In 1912, that part of the Liberty Ward, which later included the Moffatt and Randlett wards, was transferred to the Glines Ward. In 1918 a post office was established in the Liberty District, called Tridell, and the name of the Liberty Ward was changed soon afterwards to Tridell, which signifies three dells within the limits of the ward. The saints in the Liberty District were organized as the Liberty Branch in 1909, with Charles B. Bartlett as presiding Elder. This branch became the Liberty Ward Dec. 10, 1911, with Charles B. Bartlett as Bishop. He retained this position until Aug. 27, 1916, when the Liberty Ward was divided and the south part organized as Lapoint Ward. Bishop Bartlett was then released and was succeeded as Bishop of Liberty Ward by Horace Morrell, who was succeeded in 1919 by Horace Leroy Morrell as Bishop of the Tridell Ward. He presided Dec. 31, 1930, on which date the ward had 299 members, including 80 children.
