LifeSketch: Question... Was James the individual who brought over the Scottish Meat Pie from Scotland and worked with Thomas Morrison of Salt Lake City who formed the Morrison Meat Pie company - claiming to be founded in 1888? Yes. James Clark Williams was born in 1854 in Kircaldy, Scotland. He was the son of Alexander Williams and Catherine Clarke. When he was fourteen, he left school to go to work for his uncle, John Buchanan Williams, who had a large bakery business and several retail shops. His desire was to learn to be a baker. He served 5 years as an apprentice and became a journeyman baker. Jim worked in Edinburgh as a foreman for a year and nine months. He got first-class references from both places and became a master baker. In later years, Jim enjoyed telling grandchildren about his early life. As a young apprentice, Jim would be assigned to stand in his bare feet on a big table. Helpers would place a huge amount of dough on the table and Jim would step into it and move his legs up and down to mix the dough. Helpers would stand at each corner of the table to flop the dough back to the middle as Jim continued to mix it with his feet and legs. The loaves were then molded by hand and baked in large rock ovens. Jim always chuckled when he told the story about a time when he was a young boy delivering bread. Bread was delivered very early in the morning while it was still hot, and the loaves were carried on a board supported on his head. It had been raining the night before, and the streets were muddy and slippery. He took a large step over a puddle and slipped, spilling the bread loaves in the mud. Knowing that there wouldn't be any more bread baked until the next day, he took a penknife and scraped the mud from each loaf and proceeded to deliver it to his customers. Jim was always fond of travel, and when he was nineteen years old, he decided to start a business of his own in another country. He made his decision and left Scotland on 18 March 1874 as second steward on a ship bound for Canterbury, New Zealand, with 400 immigrants on board. In Auckland, James met Sarah Porter Rogers and they were married 11 October 1876. Their first two children Ada Marion and Edith Mable were born in Auckland. They were then introduced to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and were baptized. James left his family behind, fully expecting to prepare a home for them in Utah before he sent for them. However, after his arrival in Salt Lake City, James was called to return to Auckland as a full-time missionary. They had two more children during this time. Amy Catherine and Sarah. In November 1884, Jim and his family finally set sail for the United States. Upon their arrival in Salt Lake City, they spent the night in the old Tithing House. The next day, the family took a train for American Fork, Utah, where they made their home for 19 years. Having 5 additional children. Meanwhile James had been looking toward going into business for himself. In 1888, he went into temporary partnership with Harry Morrison in Salt Lake City to market James' Hot Scotch Pies. (These pies later became famous as "Morrison's Meat Pies" and are still sold as such.) Jim would work in Salt Lake City during the week, then walk to American Fork to spend Saturday and Sunday with his family. James found the weekly separation from his family too taxing, and the partnership with Morrison was suspended. By 1905, James and Sarah had permanently moved from American Fork to Salt Lake City to operate a restaurant. The Williams lived barely a block away from President Joseph F. Smith. Jim had a large oven built into the hillside by his home and went into the pie factory business selling his famous Hot Scotch Meat Pies. He opened a pie shop at 61 West on First South. "The shop was next door to Baer's Saloon, and a door had been cut between the two establishments to permit Baer's bartenders to pick up hot pies to serve with their beer." Jim sold all kinds of cakes, cookies, candies, ice cream, bread, and soda water. He made his own bread, cakes, and ice cream (with a lot of help from his wife Sarah and the girls). He also had an ice house an sold ice which he put up in the winter and would sell in the summer. While living in Salt Lake City, James and Sarah took in their widowed daughter May (Edith Mable Williams Fox) and helped raise her two children, Verda May Fox and Irvin Fox. Another tragedy struck the Williams family when George Frederick "Fred", the youngest child, contracted pneumonia and died at the age of 7 on 30 December 1905. Finally, after a full rewarding life, not of worldly possessions, but with a great legacy James Clark Williams died in Union, Utah, 13 June 1925.
