California numbers him among her native sons, his birth having occurred in Quincy, Plumas county, on the 5th of February 1884. His father, James William Larison, was born in Dubuque, Iowa, and in early life learned the blacksmith's trade, which he has long followed. He is still active in business, making his home in Quincy, California. His wife bore the maiden name of Alta E. Lee and is descended from the old Lee family of Virgina, being a relative of Robert E.

He was early employed in a railroad office in Ogden and also in Los Angeles, California, and he early did electrical work in the field of telephone service, installing the telephone plant in his home town. In 1899 he came to Utah, making his way first to Salt Lake City, where he was employed in connection with the electrical business. In 1904 he came to Ogden, where he has continued in the same line of work. He established his present business in April, 1917, at No. 314 Twenty-fifth street. He operates under the name of the Larison Electric Company and carries a general line of electric supplies and fixtures and does all sorts of electrical repairing. Already he has built up a business of substantial proportions because of the thoroughness and expert character of his work.
On the 15th of August, 1906, Mr. Larison was married in Ogden to Miss Myrtle Murphy, a daughter of Mark and Eliza M. (Hadlock) Murphy, of Ogden. They had formerly been residents of Evanston, Wyoming, where Mr. Murphy was quite prominent in local affairs. He is a son of Dr. Jesse Murphy, a well known and honored physician of Ogden of earlier days. Mr. and Mrs. Larison have become parents of three children: James Mark, eleven years of age, now attending school: Myrtle Bernice, nine years of age; and Corydon Hadlock, who is three years old.

Mr. Larison is well known in fraternal circles, holding membership with the Moose, the Modern Woodmen of America and the Knights of The Maccabees, in the first two of which organizations he has held office. He is an alert and progressive business man of pleasing personality, possessed of laudable ambition and not afraid of that close application which makes for success.
 RICHARD LEEK.
Richard Leek, has for a long period been closely associated with the manufacture of brick and tile at Ogden and is now occupying the responsible position of manager with the Ashton Brick & Tile Company of Salt Lake City. He was born in England in 1865, a son of John and Elizabeth Leek, who were also born in that country. After the emigration to the new world the family home was established in Pennsylvania and later a removal was made to Chicago. Illinois, whence they afterward went to San Francisco, California. In 1873 they removed to Ogden, Utah, where the father engaged in the manufacture of brick, the name of Leek thus becoming closely associated with an enterprise which has always been one of the important productive industries of the city. The father here engaged in brick manufacturing until 1882, when he sold his plant in Ogden and returned to California, where he passed away in 1892.
Richard Leek early took up the business of brick manufacturing and has concentrated his efforts and attention largely along this line throughout his entire life. In 1882, when a youth of seventeen years, he entered upon an apprenticeship to the brick mason's trade under James A. Calvert and thoroughly acquainted himself with the business. In 1887 he entered into partnership with Mr. Calvert and established a brick and tile plant which they conducted for about three years. At the end of that time, owing to unsettled conditions brought about through a change in government administration, they closed their plant and Mr. Leek went to Montana, where he was employed by the Amalgamated Copper Company for about two years. He then returned to Ogden and again joined his old partner in reopening their plant for the manufacture of brick and tile. In addition to this they also engaged in the contracting business. They conducted their interests under a partnership relation for twenty-four years and it was a well known fact among the trade and business concerns of northern Utah that the relationship was ever a most congenial one and that there was perfect harmony between the partners, both being well known as men of unfailing courtesy and honorable dealing. Through a partnership of nearly a quarter of a century there was never an unpleasant word spoken between them or any feeling existing other than that of good comradeship. In 1910 Mr. Leek purchased the interest of Mr. Calvert and then carried on the business under the firm style of the Leek Brick & Tile Company. He was thus active in the business until 1915, when he sold to the Ashton Brick & Tile Company of Salt Lake City. He then turned his attention to the contracting business, in which he continued for two years and at the end of that time accepted the management of the Ogden plant of the Ashton Brick & Tile Company and is now the active head of this enterprise. The plant has a capacity of twelve thousand five hundred tile per day and one hundred thousand brick, turning out the finest red brick manufactured in the state. All of the clay is hauled from the Ogden valley-a distance of fourteen miles to the east. The output is largely pressed brick and tile and its superior quality commands a splendid price on the market. Mr. Leek thoroughly understands every phase of the business in all the processes of manufacture and is thus well qualified to cope with any of the business interests or emergencies that may arise in the plant.
In 1887 Mr. Leek was united in marriage to Miss Ellen Vilate Robbins, a daughter of Edmond and Ann (Douglas) Robbins, and they have become parents of four children, two sons and two daughters: Paul, deceased; Eva; Willis; and Jeannette. The son Willis was employed in the shipyards at Seattle during the period of the war, being too light for active field service. The daughter Eva is now the wife of Norman Bohn, of Oakland, California.
Politically Mr. Leek is a republican but not an office seeker. Fraternally he is connected with the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks and he also belongs to the Weber Club. He has many admirable traits of character which make for popularity among those who know him and his circle of friends in Ogden is almost coextensive with the circle of his acquaintance.
WILLIAM PETER LETHBRIDGE.
William Peter Lethbridge, a well known representative of insurance interests in Ogden, where his agency handles all kinds of insurance save life, was born in Evanston, Wyoming. December 6, 1881, a son of William Peter Lethbridge, who was born in Devonshire, England, and became a locomotive engineer. In 1867 he arrived in Utah, having resided for a time in Minnesota. He had been connected with railroad interests in England and this he made his life work. His wife, who bore the maiden name of Louisa Ward, was a native of Plymouth, England, and now resides in Portland, Oregon.
Their son, William P. Lethbridge, Jr.. was educated in the public schools of Evanston, Wyoming, where he attended the high school, and later he took up electrical installation work, which he followed for a number of years in many states. In October, 1894, he first came to Ogden but did not establish his permanent residence at that time. In December, 1914, he returned and opened an insurance office, since which time he has handled all kinds of insurance save life and is now representing some of the leading insurance companies of the country. He has built up a business of substantial proportions.
In 1903 Mr. Lethbridge was married to Miss Ida Wilson, of Ogden, a daughter of James Wilson, and they have two children: Cleo, fifteen years of age, who is in hei second year in high school; and Paul, a youth of thirteen. Mr. Lethbridge is a member of the Knights of Pythias, with which he has been identified for many years. He finds his chief diversion in pedestrian trips and in fishing. A young man of pleasing address, he has many friends and is accounted one of the substantial citizens of Ogden.
WILLIAM J. LOW.
William J. Low is now living retired in Ogden but in former years was the owner of a coffee house on Twenty-fifth street. The careful direction of his business affairs brought to him a substantial measure of success, so that at the age of seventy he has been enabled to put aside further duties and activities along commercial lines. He is a native of England, his birth having occurred at Ely, Cambridgeshire. April 21, 1847. He was reared, however, in London, spending his youthful days in the home of his parents, John and Elizabeth Rollins (Mackender) Low. The father was also a native of Ely, Cambridgeshire, while the mother was born in Suffolk. England.
On coming to the United States in 1866 William J. Low crossed the plains to Utah with ox team and wagon and took up his abode at Nephi, where he lived for two years. From the fall of 1868 until the spring of 1870 Mr. Low worked on the railroad, the Union Pacific being built into Promontory at that time. His labors were on that part of the road at Weber canyon. His parents came to Ogden in 1868, he having preceded them by two years. He joined the family in Ogden, where the father and a son conducted a news stand in the old Union station. The business was there carried on by them until the father's death in 1887, after which the son remained in charge until his demise in 1890. The wife and mother long survived and passed away March 1, 1918, at the notable old age of ninety-four years.
William J. Low, who was early employed at railroad work, afterward secured the position of cook at the Union station in Ogden and thus spent his time from 1870 until 1887. In the latter year he removed to Redding, California, where he was also employed as cook for a time, but later returned to Ogden, where he opened a coffee house on Twenty-fifth street. In the conduct of that business he met with a substantial measure of success for several years and acquired the competence that now enables him to live retired. He has passed the seventy-second milestone on life's journey and justly merits this period of rest from business cares which he has enjoyed for the past few years.
On the 4th of November, 1873, Mr. Low was married to Miss Tryphena Bailey, a daughter of Henry and Amelia Bailey, who were natives of England and became residents of Utah in 1872. Mr. and Mrs. Low had seven children, of whom three are yet living: W. E., who makes his home in Evanston, Wyoming; Gertrude M., now the wife of W. D. Weaver, of Ogden; and Clarence E., of Ogden, who is in the United States army, stationed at Fort Douglas. The wife and mother passed away January 26, 1919, her death being the occasion of deep regret to all who knew her. Mr. Low is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In politics he is independent, voting according to the dictates of his judgment concerning the candidates for office with little regard for their party ties. His life has been one of activity, and his success is the direct outcome of his individual labors and close application.

With all phases of pioneer life he has been closely associated and in the early days he served in the state militia of Utah with the rank of captain. He was on active duty in the Black Hawk war and was sent with others by Colonel Moore to locate Black Hawk, who was headed for Bear lake, but the party were unsuccessful in their search for the Indian chief. Mr. McKay was lieutenant of that company. He helped to build the road from Huntsville to Bear lake, the first road extended to that point. His wife was the first white woman in Huntsville and there is no phase of frontier life or experience with which they have not been associated, and Mr. McKay's reminiscences of the early days are most interesting, for he gives an accurate account of all that pertains to the development and up building of the district as the wild and unimproved region was reclaimed for the purposes of civilization.
DONALD D. McKAY.
An important chapter in the history of Utah is written in the activities of Donald D. McKay, one of the most progressive of the agriculturists of the west and one whose powers of organization have been of the greatest benefit to the farmers of the state.
The possibilities for successful achievement were early recognized by him and he demonstrated in his own farm work what could be accomplished. His labors have largely set the standard for others and through the establishment of local and state farm bureaus he has done much to advance prices and promote the prosperity of the farming community.
Mr. McKay is a native son of Utah, his birth having occurred in Huntsville on the 9th of February, 1879. His parents were Angus and Wilhelmina (McKay) McKay, both of whom were natives of the highlands of Scotland, the mother having been born at Thurso, in the northern part of the country, while the father's birth occurred at Caithness. It was in the year 1863 that he crossed the Atlantic and made his way to Utah. Later he wedded Wilhelmina McKay, who had come to this state in 1859. After residing for a time at Salt Lake City Mr. McKay removed to Ogden and still later to Huntsville, where he engaged at first in cattle raising, while subsequently he turned his attention to the sheep industry. He is still living in Huntsville but has retired from active business, having for some time lived quietly in the enjoyment of the fruits of his former toil. He is a director in the Mountain Canal Irrigation Association and he has been the promoter and supporter of many projects which have been of the greatest value in the up building of the state and the utilization of its natural resources. He was called upon for official public service, filling the office of member of the state legislature during the second general assembly and as member of the school board for fifteen years. He was likewise justice of the peace and there are few matters of public concern along the line of development with which he has not been identified. He also assisted in the settlement of Arizona.
Donald D. McKay acquired his early education in the common schools of Huntsville and afterward attended the University of Utah. He began the study of law but did not complete his course and instead turned his attention to the sheep business in 1902. He began raising sheep on his ranch about three miles from Huntsville and also on another ranch farther from the city. He became the senior member of the firm of McKay Brothers, handling from six to seven thousand head of sheep before the range was restricted. At the present time they handle about seven thousand head in the summer seasons only. In the development of his sheep interests and his ranch property Mr. McKay has ever displayed a most progressive spirit and his example has been an inspiring one to others. In 1913 he established the farm bureau work in his home town of Huntsville, the object being to have farmers meet in the discussion of the best methods to improve and develop their property and make their work of greatest worth. The little movement extended to the county and then to the state. The Huntsville Bureau proving a success, Mr. McKay and his associates in the enterprise decided to invite the neighboring towns to their meeting and demonstrate what had been accomplished.
The work extended to Ogden and men from all parts of the county were invited to the meeting, resulting in the organization of a county bureau. So highly beneficial did this organization prove that the work was then extended to the state and a meeting was called at Salt Lake, which resulted in a state organization. The knowledge of the farm bureau formed by Mr. McKay has spread throughout the country and the little movement which he instituted at Huntsville has now become nation-wide, for in the month of November, 1919, Mr. McKay will attend a meeting at Chicago to organize a national association of farm bureaus. Tangible evidence of the value of these bureaus is indicated in the fact that before the organization was effected at Huntsville the farmers were receiving four dollars and a quarter per ton for beets, while the present price is ten dollars per ton. For peas they were receiving on an average of thirty-five dollars per ton, while today they are paid sixty dollars. For tomatoes they received seven and nine dollars per ton and the present price is fourteen dollars. The increase in beets alone is from five hundred thousand to one million, two hundred thousand dollars in Weber county, a difference of six hundred and ninety thousand dollars. Sixty-seven per cent of the farmers of Weber county are now members of the bureau. This is but one of the important public activities with which Mr. McKay has been associated. He has also organized a drainage district called the Weber County Drainage District, No. 1, adjacent to Huntsville, and was appointed the president. He also took up the work of organizing a drainage system near Ogden, a survey for which is now being made. He is likewise the president of the Mountain Canal Irrigation Association and he was the chairman of the agricultural division of the State Council of Defense and county food commissioner of Weber county. He has also served on the federal sugar committee and the live stock federal administration and has done all of his work for his country along these varied lines without remuneration. There is no period in the life of Mr. McKay in which he has not been engaged in some public service. For the past four years he has been a member of the state legislature of Utah and has given most earnest and thoughtful consideration to all the vital questions which have come up for settlement in the general assembly. He was appointed by the governor as one of a committee for the state of Utah to take up reclamation work for the benefit of soldiers and sailors. The bill was passed appropriating one million dollars for the work, with another million in sight and six million from the federal government. This will give employment to a vast number of the returned soldiers and thus Utah in most progressive spirit is solving the problem of furnishing employment to the lads in khaki who gave their services and risked their lives for the high principles of world-wide democracy.
In politics Mr. McKay has always been an earnest republican. In religion he has adhered to the faith of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and from 1903 until 1905 was on a mission to Australia and Tasmania. His father was bishop and high priest in the church and is now a patriarch. He too has been identified with all the public work and up building of his community. A brother, James G. McKay, has been in England for the past four years on a mission for the church.
Thus the family has taken a most active and helpful interest in promoting moral as well as material progress. Public opinion concedes to Mr. McKay a position of leadership in the work of general improvement, especially acknowledging indebtedness to him for what he has accomplished in connection with the development of the farming interests of the state. He has ever held to the highest standards and methods of agriculture, employing scientific processes in the cultivation of his crops, and what he has accomplished has ever been a stimulus to the efforts of others.
CHARLES F. MIDDLETON.
Charles F. Middleton, deceased, who for many years was a respected and valued citizen of Utah, taking active part in promoting the material and moral development of the state, was born in Washington county, Illinois, February 24, 1834, and passed away on the 3d of August. 1915. His parents were William and Mary (Butler) Middleton, the former born in Saint Clair county, Illinois, May 24, 1810. In the year 1850 he brought his family to Utah, settling in Ogden, which at that time was known as Brown's Port.
Charles F. Middleton was then a youth of sixteen years. In the meantime he had resided with his parents at Far West, Missouri, where they were living at the time the Mormons were expelled from that district in the winter of 1838-9. They returned to Illinois and became residents of Nauvoo, where they were also living when the people of their faith were driven from that district. The exodus to Utah saw them en route to the west. They reached Council Bluffs, Iowa, in 1846 and there remained until 1850, when they continued the journey to Salt Lake City, arriving on the 22d of September.
They remained residents of the capital until the winter of 1851-2, when they came to Ogden and Charles F. Middleton assisted his father in building a log house in what was then Brown's Fort. He also aided in erecting the first meetinghouse and the first schoolhouse in what is now the city of Ogden and assisted in building the Ogden tabernacle. In fact he contributed to the erection of every meetinghouse in the Weber stake during his long and active life and was a most earnest and efficient church worker, serving for thirty-eight years in the presidency of the Weber stake. He also went on two missions and in the latter years of his life was best known as first counselor to President L. W. Shurtleff of the Weber stake. At the time of his death he held office in connection with Thomas Whalen and Archibald McFarland, who were the tax appraisers of Weber county. Until a short time prior to his death Mr. Middleton was also one of the three inheritance tax appraisers for the court. Among the other public offices which he filled with marked capability and fidelity was that of justice of the peace and it is estimated that not less than six hundred marriages were performed by him during the last twenty years of his life. He was again and again called upon to speak at funerals and in a single year addressed audiences at eighty-six funerals.
During the earlier years of his residence in Ogden, Mr. Middleton was closely connected with the state militia and filled various military offices, being advanced from the position of corporal to captain. In 1867 he was elected to the office of constable of his district and it was subsequently that he became justice of the peace. He was also the first police officer assigned to regular duty in Ogden. At different periods he served as selectman of Weber county, as a member of the city council of Ogden and as a member of the board of education of Weber Academy. The same discrimination and enterprise which Mr. Middleton displayed in the conduct of public duties and church offices were manifest in the conduct of his private business affairs. He was a director of the Davis and Weber Counties Canal Company, was a member of the Ogden Bench Canal Company and was a stockholder in several other important concerns which figured prominently in the business circles of his part of the state.
It was on the 2d of October, 1854, that Mr. Middleton wedded Martha C. Browning and on the 4th of March, 1865, he married Melinda V. Browning, having nineteen children by the two wives. Mr. Middleton was a man of lofty purposes and high ideals, living fully up to the standards which he set. He reached the age of eighty-one years -a period which he largely devoted to the benefit of others. There was nothing of self-seeking in his life but a broad humanitarianism that prompted him continually to extend a helping hand and to aid in upholding those principles and forces which he believed to be the strongest elements of righteousness in the world.
REUBEN J. MIDDLETON.
Reuben J. Middleton, who carries on general farming, to which occupation he has practically devoted his entire life, was born in Ogden in 1861, a son of C. P. and Martha C. (Browning) Middleton, the former a native of Illinois.
In the public schools of Ogden, Reuben J. Middleton pursued his education and in early life he took up teaming and railroad work in connection with the transfer department of the railroad. Through the greater part of his active career, however, he has followed general farming, to which he now gives his attention. He has a good tract of land and cultivates the crops best adapted to soil and climatic conditions here and annually gathers good harvests as the result of the care and labor which he bestows upon his fields. He follows progressive methods and his enterprise and energy enable him to overcome all difficulties and obstacles and work his way steadily upward to success.
In 1887 Mr. Middleton was married to Miss Annie L. Newman, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Newman, both of whom were natives of England. Coming to Utah at an early day, they established their home in Ogden and subsequently removed to Plain City, where the father engaged in business as a tinsmith. Mr. and Mrs. Middleton have become the parents of six children: Annie, Florence, Myrtle, Laura. Reuben and Henry. The son Reuben served for more than a year in the American army, enlisting in February, 1918. He became a member of Company 4. Thirty-first Engineers, Fourteenth Grand Division, and was overseas for ten months, carrying supplies to the front. While in the service he suffered injuries which forced him to remain in the hospital for several months.
Mr. Middleton is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He is interested in all that has to do with the welfare and progress of the community in which he makes his home and is president of the Middleton Irrigation Canal Company.
ADOLPH MARTIN MILLER.
Adolph Martin Miller, proprietor of the Washington Market at Ogden, was born in Germany, October 29, 1870, a son of Ferdinand Miller, a successful contractor of Germany, where he spent his entire life. The mother bore the maiden name of Emily Hess and came to America in 1916, residing on this side of the Atlantic until her demise, which occurred when she had reached the age of seventy-four years.
Adolph M. Miller was the second in a family of five children, three sons and two daughters. He was educated in his native city and on crossing the Atlantic to the new world settled in New York, where he learned the butchering trade, which he followed in New York and Pacific coast cities for a period of twenty years. In 1907 he came to Ogden, where he established his present business on a small scale. The little market, however, has developed until it is the largest and most modern market of northern Utah, furnishing employment to thirty people, and in connection with the meat department there is maintained a staple and fancy groceries and bakery department.

LOUIS MILLER.
Louis Miller, a veteran of the Spanish-American war who is now living retired in Ogden, was born in France, June 25, 1855, and was reared in Germany. He became a cook in the latter country and in 1881 sailed for the United States. For fourteen years he occupied the position of cook in some of the best hotels of the east and afterward came to Utah, where he engaged in business along the same line. He was thus employed until 1898, when he responded to the call of his adopted country for military aid, enlisting as a member of Battery B, Utah Light Artillery, for service in the Spanish-American war. He became disabled early in the war and after spending considerable time in a hospital received an honorable discharge.
Mr. Miller then returned to Salt Lake and afterward removed to Ogden. On first coming to Utah he resided for a time in Provo and there he met and married Anna C. Andersen, a native of Sweden, who by a former marriage had two sons. Mr. and Mrs. Miller have become parents of three children but two have passed away. The surviving son is Albert A., who was a member of the United States navy during the World war and is now a member of the naval reserve.
Mr. and Mrs. Miller are widely known in Ogden, where they have gained many friends. He is recognized as a self-made man, for whatever success he has achieved in life is attributable entirely to his own efforts. Persistently and energetically he has worked his way upward and for thirty eight years he has lived on this side of the Atlantic, loyal to the interests of this adopted country and giving hearty aid and cooperation at all times to plans and measures for the good of the community and the state in which he makes his home.
MILTON W. MILLER.
Milton W. Miller, proprietor of the Gates Half Sole Tire Shop at No. 2562 Washington avenue in Ogden, was born October 6, 1891, in Salt Lake City. His father, Reuben G. Miller, is also a native of Salt Lake and a son of James R. Miller, who arrived in Utah in pioneer times. He was a native of England and he was with the second company that came to this state. Settling in Salt Lake, he there resided until his death, which occurred in 1909, when he had reached the age of seventy years.

At the present time he follows farming in Pingree, Idaho. He has been a leader in public thought and action in Utah and he served as a member of the state senate, to which position he was elected on the republican ticket. He was a most earnest worker in republican circles and his opinions carried weight in the councils of his party.

ORSON HYDE MOHLMAN
Orson Hyde Mohlman, captain of the detective department of the police service of Ogden, was born October 22, 1873, at Midway, Wasatch county, Utah. His father, the late John Mohlman, was a native of Germany and came to America with Captain Johnston's army, a Mormon contingent that journeyed to Utah from Cincinnati, Ohio, where Mr. Mohlman had first located. He was a shoemaker by trade and followed that business throughout his entire life, passing away in 1882. He was made a convert to the faith of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Cincinnati, Ohio, and throughout the remainder of his life was very active in church work. In politics he was a stanch republican and did everything in his power to promote the growth of the party and secure its success. He married Miss Anna Galley, a native of Switzerland, who came to America with her parents when but nine years of age. Her people crossed the plains, sharing in all the hardships and privations of such a journey at that date, and settfed in Salt Lake, where Mrs. Mohlman completed her studies and was married. She died in 1911 in Midway, Utah, where she resided during the greater part of her life.
Orson H. Mohlman. who was the fourth in order of birth, was educated in the common schools of Midway and at the age of nine years started out to provide for his own support. He was first employed in a grocery store in Park City, spending a number of years there, after which he followed mercantile pursuits on his own account and later turned his attention to mining. He was thus engaged until 1907, when he became connected with the Ogden police department, being made a patrolman. Later he was advanced to the rank of sergeant and continued in the latter position for five years. He was next promoted to his present position-that of captain of the detective department, in which he has since rendered valuable service to the public.
In 1896, at Park City, Utah, Mr. Mohlman was married to Miss Clara L. Decker, who was born in Charleston. Wasatch county. Utah, a daughter of Isaac and Anna (Lucas) Decker, both now deceased and both representatives of old and prominent pioneer families of this state. Two sisters of Mrs. Clara L. Mohlman, were wives of the late Brigham Young, one of them having been one of his first wives. Mr. and Mrs. Mohlman have become parents of six children but two of the number have departed this life. The others are: Hazel, the wife of Frank Szwifel. a resident of Ogden; Forrest. who is a fireman on the Ogden Union Railroad and resides at Ogden; Marguerite; and Helene. Donald D., the second child, died September 13, 1918, at the age of twenty-one years, and the third member of the family has also passed away. Fraternally Mr. Mohlman is connected with the Woodmen of the World and the Eagles and his religious faith is that of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. His political allegiance is given to the republican party and he takes an active and helpful interest in all matters pertaining to the general welfare, cooperating heartily in well defined plans and measures for the general good. Mr. Mohlman took a helpful interest in all war activities and was in charge of the Liberty Loan work among the police department.
ALMA MONTGOMERY.
Alma Montgomery, engaged in ranching, was the first white child born in North Ogden, where he still makes his home. His natal day was January 1, 1852, his parents being Robert and Mary (Wilson) Montgomery. The father was born in Glasgow, Scotland, while the mother was a native of Greenock, Scotland. In 1831 Robert Montgomery sailed from the land of hills and heather, arriving at New York on the last day of March, accompanied by his wife, whom he had wedded in their native land. He was what was then termed an engine fitter but now a master mechanic. He went from place to place, following this business until 1850 when he came with his family to Utah, settling in Ogden that fall. The following spring he removed to North Ogden, the Montgomerys being one of about ten families located here. Mr. Montgomery took up one hundred and ten acres of land, which he continued to farm to the time of his death, which occurred about the spring of 1862. He also opened the first canal in North Ogden and raised the first acre of wheat. He was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served as the first clerk of his ward.
Alma Montgomery was reared upon the old homestead and has always followed farming as a life work. He has likewise engaged in buying and selling stock from an early age and has successfully bred stock. He has a good tract of land which he carefully, systematically and profitably cultivates and is regarded as one of the representative ranchers of his district.
In 1879 Mr. Montgomery was married to Miss Elizabeth Chadwick, a daughter of Abraham and Mary (Wheeler) Chadwick, who were natives of England, born near Manchester. The father came to Utah in 1854 and established his home in North Ogden. To Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery have been born eight children, one of whom. Joseph K., was a member of the United States army during the recent war, serving with the Sixty-third Coast Artillery until honorably discharged in March, 1919.
Mr. Montgomery has been active in community affairs and served as school trustee for several years, while at the present writing he is filling the position of road supervisor. He has also been active in the work of the church and on the 1st of May, 1896, went on a mission to Scotland, where he remained for twenty-six months, returning June 29, 1898. He thus labored in the land of his forefathers and found it a matter of great interest to visit that country, in which his ancestors had lived.
THOMAS H. MUSGRAVE.
Among the substantial citizens that England has furnished to Utah is numbered Thomas H. Musgrave, who through an active business career engaged in gardening but is now retired from active business life, making his home in Plain City. He was born in London, England, in 1835, a son of George A. and Louisa Musgrave. He spent the period of his minority in his native country and on reaching adult age came to the United States in 1856. Landing In New York, he there resided for five years and was engaged in the manufacture of tin foil, a business which he had previously followed in England for seven years. He then came to the west with Utah as his destination and took up his abode at Plain City, where he remained for a time and then removed to Ogden, where he resided for ten years. There he followed gardening and annually sold large quantities of garden produce by reason of the careful, practical and systematic manner in which he cultivated the soil. After a decade spent in Ogden he returned to Plain City, where he again engaged in gardening, a business that he has since followed, although at the present time he is practically leaving all the work to others. In the early days he was likewise employed on the railroad when it was built into Promontory. His time and -attention, however, during the greater part of his career has been concentrated upon gardening and the result of his labors is manifest in the substantial competence that has come to him.
In 1857 Mr. Musgrave was married in New York to Mrs. Hopkins. He was married again, November 16, 1906, to Victoreen (Dix) Musgrave, who was the widow of her husband's brother George. He has served as judge of elections for the past ten years and he is a well known figure in Plain City, where he has long resided. He dates his residence in Utah from 1861 and has thus been connected with the state for fifty-eight years, a period in which he has witnessed a remarkable transformation as its enterprising citizens have carried steadily forward the work of progress and improvement.
