Wilford Thompson, Director
George Judd, Director

George M. Martineau, Jr., Secretary and Treasurer
It was decided that the company should establish an office at LaVerkin and the business of the company be transacted there.
By June 10, 1936, Morris Wilson had accumulated enough stock to get the controlling vote at the stockholder's meetings. Since the beginning of the corporation, the question of selling out had kept popping up. Now with Morris Wilson in control, he proposed that the stockholders either sell to him or buy him out. Eventually they sold to him, and the resort went into private ownership. The minutes of the La Verkin Sanitorium and Resort Company came to a finish. The minute book was acquired by Wayne Wilson.
