Lorin Farr was the first mayor of Ogden in 1850. This ledger includes two distinct parts. The first is an account record dating from 1833 to 1839, which appears to be from a sawmill but is of unknown origin. References to "Sparta" in the record may refer to Sparta, New York, a community with historical ties to the lumber industry that is situated within close proximity to Palmyra. It is unlikely this record was kept by Farr, as he would have been rather young at the time of its creation and was living in Vermont. The second part is a Weber County court docket dating from 1850 to 1855, which aligns with the early years of Farr's tenure as mayor.
