Marjum Canyon
Hermit Cave House

Millard County

The "Mayor of Millard County" AKA Bob Stinson lived alone in Majum Canyon for roughly 20 years. He could probably be one of the most secluded people, living in one of the most desolate areas, in our history. After returning from World War I, Bob found that his wife had remarried. Heartbroken, Bob took a trailer west. Unfortunately, Bob's trailor broke down in Marjum Canyon. Not caring, Bob just hauled a few of his belongings to a nearby cave, where he was also able to find a nearby spring. He didn't move for 20 years.

Bob worked for the Highway Maintenance, keeping the road clear after storms. Once Marjum Canyon Road was decommisioned, Bob lost his job and moved to Delta, where he was a local legend.

Great site. glad I found it as I am in love with the Utah West Desert after writing about my aunt Mary Devitt Laird, who lived in Joy,Utah, on the desert for 40 years. She, too, was a form of hermit but very well loved and needed!!
