From Steve B - That's the same neighborhood where the Hill's lived. I remember West Ogden. That's where Harold's wife, Bertha Stokes Hill, my grandmother's family lived, too. I still have a relative who lives there and has lived there all her life, but she won't answer the door these days. I don't know if this neighborhood was considered the "wrong side of the tracks" neighborhood, or it was just convenient to railroad men's work.
I remember seeing Samuel Stone on this census sheet. Of course, the Bachman's came from Eden. One Eden boy, Jorgen, married a railroad man's daughter, Edna Hill, and first settled in West Ogden, next door to his in-laws. John Peterson, Jorgen's brother, later owned homes in West Ogden and rented one out to my grandparents, Harold & Bertha. One source, J.R., said that Joseph Bachman bought Verena and Henry's house in West Ogden (after Henry's death) and donated it to the Church.
John's older Stone brother probably visited his father Samuel in West Ogden. So there's a good chance that John was acquainted with Samuel Stone, thus acquainted with the Sewells.
Some history: (from: PLAIN CITY HISTORY WRITTEN BY AND IN POSSESSION OF DAUGHTERS OF UTAH PIONEERS, PLAIN CITY CAMP)
"Becoming discouraged by the experiences of 1859, some of the settlers went to Cache Valley. Among them being Ruben and David Collett, Samuel Cuspins, Ezekiel Hopkins' mother and sister, and Mr. Lilly. John Falker and Alfred Falker moved to Ogden. Others came from Lehi to temporarily fill the ranks, some of whom later moved to Cache Valley.." Willard Carver's statement. "John Carver dug down into the ground he selected with a piece of sage brush. Joseph Robinson, Thomas Singleton, Charles Neal, George Musgrave, Clint Brown, Jeppe Folkman, and Peter Bech camped by Carver's on Kay's Creek. They drove on to the sand hills in Wilson Lane on the 16th of March, 1859. John Carver accompanied them as far as Slaterville. He stopped here to get shelter for his wife and children before going on.
Joseph Robinson was one of the first to raise alfalfa in Plain City. The sugar beet industry is one of the leading industries of Plain City. Prior to the coming of the railroad into Plain City in 1909, the beets were hauled to the Hot Springs and sent by rail to the Amalgamated Sugar Company plant at Wilson Lane, or hauled direct to the factory. After the advent of the railroad there were beet dumps placed at convenient points along the line for the accommodation of the growers in unloading their beets. The beets were then reloaded upon cars and sent to the factory to be manufactured into sugar.

Before the enlarging of the factory at Wilson, during the month of October, it was necessary to pile the beets by the dump until winter, when they were loaded upon cars and sent to the factory as needed.
From the church web site:

Edward and Emma Sewell in the 1910 census in Wilson precinct. Notice that Samuel Stone is living with his daughter and son in law next door. All this happened in what some call the Wilson Lane west of Ogden.
West Wilson Lane:
Looking east at an abandoned track and bridge at the West Wilson Lane grade crossing just west of Transfer Yard in Ogden, Utah. The silver bridge used to support a track over the Weber River but now sits unused. The railroad infrastructure pictured here used to belong to the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad; now it is part of the Union Pacific empire. Out of view to the right is a solid waste transfer station served by the railroad.
