William & Sarah Jane McDonald Buys Home
1883-1904

William Buys married Sarah Jane McDonald in 1884, and created a beautiful life of influence, founder of the Wasatch Wave and elected Prosecuting Attorney for Wasatch County. They raised seven children in this home. In the first edition, published on March 23, 1889, William Buys, attorney, notary public official, city surveyor, and civil engineer, penned, “In rafting the Wasatch Wave, we realize it is but a tiny ripple upon the great ocean of journalism, but we sincerely hope and trust that it may grow and gather strength as it proceeds on its perilous journey. We are also aware that there are breakers in its course against which it may run and be dashed to pieces and the great commotion caused by the shock be scarcely perceptible upon the broad expanse of the vast literary sea.
