Charles Jabez Toone’s Limp
Charles Jabez Toone had a big farm just below where the dam for Lost Creek Reservoir is currently located up in the canyon by Croydon.
He had a home just south of the Croydon Church. He cut the timber that went in the bridges in Weber Canyon and homesteaded what is now known as Toone Canyon up Lost Creek. He had a large herd of sheep up there. He had about a thousand head of sheep, but he sold out and went to Morgan. The land became a pasture.
Charles was thrown from a horse when he was 44 and broke his hip. There were no doctors around so Sarah and John Toone had to set the hip. He was left with a limp for the rest of his life.
For a time, he and his brother John worked down at the Red Devil Cement Plant and
