Alfred E. and Mel Randall, grandsons of A.J. Randall, seemed to be more interested in cars than cattle. They built this structure and opened the first Pine car agency (Ford) with garage in 1932-33. They sold chances on a 1934 yellow convertible. Every cowhand in the county wanted it.

	Marker #4 Clyde Hunsaker and wife Hazel Randall, granddaughter of A.J. Randall, built and opened a grocery store and the small house to the left in 1927. The store also served as post office. Hazel was still living in the small house until her death in the spring of 1988. Note: The old home has since been torn down, however, the old door was saved and is now on display at Pineberry Antiques on the other side of Hwy. 87. The marker sign is there also.
Marker #5 Frank C. Randall was two and one-half years old when his parents moved into Pine in 1881. He farmed both at home and on the ranches. He fell in love with one of the Bishop's daughters and married Lucinda Leavitt on Christmas Day 1901. His father had given him a lot to build on and a small three-room house was nearly complete on their wedding day. Obviously, the house grew as their twelve children appeared.
Marker #6 - First Log School and LDS Meeting House in Pine The first school in Pine was held in the original LDS Church building, which was built about one-two years after the first Mormon settlers came into Pine Valley in 1882-3. It was a one-room building built of pine logs and located on the east side of the main road through town a little north of Bert Randall’s (Bondurant’s ) home. There were about 15-20 children in grades 1-8 all of whom met in the one room with one teacher. That teacher was William Huston
	Marker #7 Bert D. Randall was the first white male born in Pine. By the time he was ten, he was working with cattle, and became an excellent horseman. When he and his brothers, Frank and Walter, formed the Randall Brothers' Cattle Company, Bert was in charge of the cattle. Like his brother, Frank, he fell in love with one of the beautiful Leavitt girls, and married Lucy Pearl in 1905. With great care and attention to detail, Bert built this home for his family. A hired craftsman spent nearly a year hand-carving moldings, casings and banisters within the house.
Marker #8 Alfred Jason Randall had been exploring in Arizona. In 1881, he returned to Utah to collect his family and their possessions for the big move to Pine. His cattle were already there. His wife, Ruth, shepherding the five children with them, was expecting another. It was November when they reached Pine. The winter was cold and the snow deep, but by February a two-room cabin was built and Bert, the first of three more sons, was born. Throughout the years, rooms were added, the first being of adobe brick. Other additions remain as you see them. Alfred Jason Randall, adventurer, cattleman, frieghter, and lover of fine horses, died at age 62 in an accident involving his freight wagon.
