Reminder of the 70's along Rio Grande 60 – Sigurd mercantile Co. and Post Office, Sigurd, Utah

: Sigurd, UT Sep. 15, 2014

Sigurd mercantile Co. and Post Office was located at the center of Sigurd, Utah on 20 S Main St. Both were sharing a one-story structure back to back.

Ole(1869 – 1926) and Ephraim(1878 – 1928) Dastrup established the Sigurd mercantile Co. and built the general merchandise store/warehouse complex in 1906[1].

Claude Sevy(1890 – 1955) owned and managed the store in the 20’s[2]. His father, Reuben Warren Sevy(1863 – 1941) and/or Carl Spencer Sevy(1900 – 1987) succeeded the business in the 30’s, maybe in 1932[3].

Recent structure was built in 1955[4]. David Ray and Neoma B. Fordham own and operate the store since 1988 as Dave’s Country Trading Post[5]. The Trading Post is consisted of grocery and cafe. The two Wayne E-732 pumps in front of the store seemed out of service.
