Charles Aceil Randall
1884-1954
Charles Aceil Randall was born March 9, 1884, in Harrisville, Weber County, Utah. His parents, Charles Chapman and Harriet Lodeskie Woodhead Randall were farming in this area at the time. Although he was named in honor of his father, he was called Aceil and as he grew it was shortened to Ace.
In 1890, at the age of six, Ace moved with his parents and sisters Ellen and Rose, to Idaho. The family traveled with another family across the rough-cut trail worn between Utah and Idaho. They traveled in covered wagons and trailed their cattle and horses behind the wagons. Ace was only six years old, but was assigned to help with this responsibility, walking most of the way. It took seventeen days to make the trip.
The Randall Family assumed the homestead rights for a 320 acre parcel of ground in Poverty Flats, later known as Grant, Jefferson County, Idaho. This small community was located ten miles north of Eagle Rock, later known as Idaho Falls. Their property boarded the main road that wound its way through several small communities and later became known as the Lewisville Highway.
