From the pages of the Trailblazer, a history of the Franklin County compiled by the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers, we read that the Oneida Stake Academy building lost its capstone during the earthquakes that hit the area on March 12 and March 15 of 1934.
The 120-year-old Oneida Stake Academy is located in Preston, Idaho. Amongst its alumni are two former presidents of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints: Harold B. Lee and Ezra Taft Benson, as well as several living general authorities of the world-wide Church. Benson was also the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture following WWII. Students walked the halls of the Oneida Stake Academy for over a century living a multitude of memories. Now there's a place to gather them.
