It began with Walter and Jane
About 100 years ago Walter and Jane Orr decided to move from Tooele to Granger. They purchased land on the east side of 3600 West between 31st-35th south. Several of their children also bought land on the same block.
The family was very close and many Orr nieces and nephews were seen running to and from Grandma Orr's house.

Their son Milton, married Delsa Warr who lived across the street from him. Together they opened several area businesses. The first business Milton & Delsa opened, was Orr's Feed Mill. They began that business across from the Original Granger High on 3600, and then they moved it to the corner of 3600 W 3500 South. The Feed Mill was an important business for the Granger/Hunter Farming Community for over 30 years.
They also built and owned Delton Bowling Lanes with their children. The Original location opened in 1958. Milt and his family were champions in organizing and growing the Local Baseball team. Milt was a coach for many years.

Walter and Jane's daughter Margaret, also married into the Warr family, who lived across the street from them. Margaret married Al Warr. She and Margaret opened The Warr Cold Storage Locker Business, The Potato Pit and then co-owned the Delton Bowling with Milt & Delsa.
Walter and Jane's Grandchildren and Great grandchildren still own Delton Bowling Lanes along with several local buildings. This family has been a huge part of this area for 100 years.
3600 West from 3100 South-3500 South is still known as the Orr/Warr Street.
