Inside back: The Mill of Job Pingree, by Al Rounds, watercolor, 18″ x 24″, 1999. Acton Mill Farm, owned by Job and Charlotte Pingree, became an important meeting place for missionaries in England in the 1850s. Young Job Pingree, son of the owners, was baptized here in 1856 at 18. After his father’s death, he and his mother immigrated to Utah in 1857. He went back to England two years later to sell the mill and farm and serve as a missionary, then returned to Utah in 1861. He was a businessman in Ogden for many years and also served as president of the Eastern States Mission, 1892–94.
