About Robert Wilson McKell
GEDCOM Note
Robert Wilson McKell was the first child born to Robert and Elizabeth Boyack McKell on November 16, 1856. He was born in a dugout located at 1st North on Main Street at the location of City Drug in Spanish Fork. George A. Hicks, an early pioneer, is quoted as saying: "The dug-outs were places in the ground, usually four or five feet deep, with steps leading down into the room from one end, and a roof usually made of willows and mud. The dug-outs were quite warm and comfortable during the winter, there being a fireplace in the end opposite the entrance. They were generally without windows, so in order to get light, the door must be left open, or the open fire depended upon for illumination. Some of the settlers were able to provide candles." (Warner, pages 37-38 - History of Spanish Fork) It was said that these dugouts were so commonly used as homes in the early days of Spanish Fork that the settlement was sometimes in derision called "Gopher Town".
