It had been 35 years since numbers were last given out in 1953 by John Ortell Kingston, the second leader of the Davis County Cooperative Society (DCCS). In this meeting Paul Elden Kingston, the third leader of the DCCS, granted fourteen new numbers in one of Paul’s first major activities as the new leader of the group. Paul at this time was 26 years old and had just recently become the confirmed leader of the DCCS.
