He is well known in the city in which his entire life has been passed and that his career has ever been an active, honorable and useful one is indicated in the fact that many of his staunchest friends are those who have known him from his boyhood days to the present time.
PRESTON A. THATCHER.
Preston A. Thatcher, chairman of the State Industrial Commission of Utah and a prominent figure in connection with public interests of the commonwealth, now makes his home in Salt Lake City. He was born, however, in Logan, Utah, September 24. 1877, a son of Moses and Lettie (Farr) Thatcher, who are mentioned elsewhere in this work. Both were natives of Nauvoo, Illinois. The mother came across the continent with her parents during her infancy, the family journeying with ox team and wagon. Her parents settled in Salt Lake, where she grew to womanhood and was married. She still resides in Logan, Utah. By her marriage she became the mother of seven children, two of whom have passed away. Those living are: Moses. Mrs. Emma Jepson and Leonidas. all residents of Logan; Mrs. Vita Squires, of Salt Lake; and Preston A.
In early life Preston A. Thatcher attended the public schools of Logan and afterward became a student in a business college of Salt Lake. When his textbooks were put aside he started out to provide for his own support and went to Mexico, settling at Chihuahua, where he engaged in the cattle business for a year, after which he returned to Logan, Utah, where he entered the banking business as an employee in the Thatcher Brothers Bank. He served in various positions, from that of remittance clerk to paying teller, covering a period of nine years, and at the end of that time he embarked in business on his own account, organizing the Thatcher Clothing Company, of which he was the principal owner and the president. Through the intervening period his business has prospered and in fact succeeded far beyond his expectations. It is now one of the substantial commercial interests of Logan and Mr. Thatcher still remains the president and principal owner. While residing in Logan he was also prominent in the public affairs of the city, serving as mayor for two terms, from 1914 until 1918. He gave to the city a very businesslike and progressive administration, characterized by needed reforms and improvements. In 1917, however, he resigned on account of being appointed to the position of chairman of the State Industrial Commission and with his family removed to Salt Lake, where he is now capably and efficiently discharging the duties of the office. He is working untiringly in the interests of public welfare in this connection and his record is receiving the high endorsement of the public. In order to qualify for membership on the State Industrial Commission under Utah statutes, Mr. Thatcher had to sever all connection with concerns employing a certain amount of labor. He was one of the organizers of the Home Building Society, at Logan, a member of the board of directors and a member of the appraising committee. He was for two years vice president of the Logan Commercial Club. He was a member of the board of directors of Cache Knitting Company at Logan, was a director in Logan Amusement & Investment Company and formerly was a director in the Thatcher Milling & Elevator Company at Logan.
On the 22d of September, 1899, Mr. Thatcher was united in marriage to Miss Etta Murdock, of Logan, Utah, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Murdock, representatives of a pioneer family of the state. Mr. and Mrs. Thatcher have become parents of four children: Lawrence A., who was born in Logan in 1902 and is now attending high school at Salt Lake; Lottie V., born in Logan in September, 1904, and also a high school pupil; Virginia, born in Logan in 1907; and Jack, L., in 1913. The last two are also pupils in the Salt Lake schools.
Mr. Thatcher belongs to the Utah Automobile Association. He is well known in Masonic circles, having attained the thirty-second degree in the Scottish Rite. He is likewise a member of the Commercial Boosters Club of Logan, which he aided in organizing, and he was serving as a member of the board when he came to Salt Lake. His deep interest in community affairs has led to active cooperation in many plans and measures which have resulted beneficially to his native city, and he is now doing earnest, effective and valuable work as a member of the State Industrial Commission of Utah.
HON. EZRA THOMPSON.
Among the men whose business activities have been a substantial contribution to Utah's development and progress is Hon. Ezra Thompson, who has for years occupied a foremost position in mining and financial circles in the intermountain country. Mr. Thompson is a native son of Utah, born at Salt Lake, July 17, 1850, and comes from one of the oldest pioneer families of Utah. His father, Ezra Thompson, was a native of the state of New York and there learned the trade of millwright at a time when the acquirement of a trade meant a period of apprenticeship and thoroughness of instruction. He came to Utah among the earlier pioneers, in 1848, and settled first at Salt Lake and his skill in his trade soon made his services much in demand. A little later he removed to North Mill Canyon, where he erected for Heber C. Kimball the first sawmill in the territory. Mr. Thompson later built a number of grist and sawmills throughout Utah. His skill as a millwright was well known and the high character of his work was many times reflected in the durability of the structures he erected. He was married in Salt Lake to Lois Trumbull, a native of the state of Maine and a descendant of one of the most noted New England families and one that in Colonial times and the period following the Revolution furnished several distinguished men, among whom was Jonathan Trumbull, Governor of Connecticut, friend and advisor of George Washington, to whom the latter affectionately referred as "Brother Jonathan." Mr. and Mrs. Thompson were the parents of two children: Ezra of this review, and Lois, who married Robert R. Widdison and died in Salt Lake.
Hon. Ezra Thompson was reared in Salt Lake, attending the old ward school in winter and in summer herding and working at anything he could find whereby he could contribute to the support of the household. He thus early in life acquired a practical knowledge of hard work, and the lessons of industry learned by the boy have been of great value to the man. He was strong and athletic, very fond of manly sports, and was a great baseball player in his youth. Being naturally inclined to outdoor pursuits, he adopted the vocation of a freighter, a very lucrative but hazardous one in those days and in this connection he operated through Utah, Montana and Nevada. He freighted goods from Salt Lake City to the mining districts, and when seventeen years of age he had charge of a four-yoke team of oxen, which he drove across the plains from North Platte. Nebraska, to Salt Lake City. Trips of this character were an arduous undertaking and consumed nearly a year. In addition to the slowness of travel, the hostile attitude of the Indians made constant vigilance a necessity. His freighting business grew as the years progressed and led to his becoming interested in the mining resources of the State. His principal field of operations has been the Park City district, where he resided for fifteen years, becoming connected with some of the greatest mines in that productive district. He is president of the Cardiff Mining & Milling Company and the Idaho Gold Mining Company; president and manager of the Peerless Coal Mining Company,, the latter operating in Carbon county, Utah; president of the Kennebec Consolidated Mining Company; president of the Ezra Thompson Investment Company; president of the Thompson & Murdock Investment Company, owners of much valuable real estate including the Newhouse building; and a director of the National Bank of the Republic.
Mr. Thompson has always been a stanch republican. While a resident of Park City he was for four years a member of the city council. He was elected mayor of Salt Lake City in 1898 and was reelected by a large majority, serving until 1904. His administration was a popular one. He served with honor, dignity and great executive ability, bringing to the office rare native talents of a high order, and Salt Lake City was greatly benefited by his clean and most able business administration. Since returning to private life Mr. Thompson has devoted himself to his mining and financial interests, real estate holdings and other business affairs, which occupy his time fully.
On February 14, 1885, in Salt Lake City, Mr. Thompson was married to Miss Emily Pugsley, who was born in Utah in 1856, daughter of Philip and Martha (Roach) Pugsley, natives of England, who came to Utah in 1853. Philip Pugsley was extensively engaged in mining and milling and in manufacturing. Four children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Thompson, Lynn H., who was graduated from Yale in 1913 and from the law department of Columbia University, New York, in 1915. He was in the quartermasters department of the United States army during the late war with rank of second lieutenant, being located at Fort Hamilton, New York. He is now associated in business with his father. He married Dorothy Zumwalt, of Tulare, California, and they have two children, Louis and Dorothy. Norinne is the wife of H. Ross Brown of Salt Lake and they have one daughter, Norinne. Ezra P., who is associated with his father, married Enid Miller, a daughter of George M. Miller of Salt Lake. Clyde R. is at home.
Mr. Thompson is one of the oldest native sons among the active men of big business interests in Salt Lake, and, while nearing three score and ten, he is remarkably well preserved in both mind and body, maintaining a close personal supervision over his large and varied interests. His success has been due to the great determination and energy which he has brought to the accomplishment of every task allotted to him. He has not only witnessed the great transformation but has taken part in the work that has converted the Great American desert into a land hiving with industry and caused the barren mountains to yield up wealth as well as the state, unknown at the time of his birth, raised to a prominent rank in the Union.
AUBREY F. TOLTON.
Aubrey F. Tolton. of Salt Lake City, state bank examiner, was born at Beaver, Utah, on the 15th of October, 1887, a son of John Franklin and Carrie O. (Hales) Tolton, both natives of this state, where the grandparents located in pioneer times. The father was engaged in banking and merchandising and was a prominent figure in political circles. He was a candidate for governor on the democratic ticket in 1914 and in 1917 he served as speaker of the house of representatives. He was also the incumbent in other public offices of honor and trust and he is now active in mercantile circles in Beaver. To John Franklin and Carrie O. Tolton were born six children: J. C., a stock-man residing at Beaver; Irene, who is a teacher in the University of Utah; Grant H., who is engaged in merchandising at Beaver; Lula and LaRu, twins, who were born in Beaver, Utah, and are now students in Murdock Academy; and Aubrey F., of this review.
In early life Aubrey F. Tolton was a pupil in the public schools of Beaver, where he also mastered the branches of the high school work. He next entered the Latter-day Saints Business College and was graduated there from in 1906. He was then sent on a mission to the southern states, visiting Georgia, Florida, Kentucky and Ohio, and for nine months he served as president of the Ohio Conference. His missionary work covered two and a half years, at the end of which time he returned to Beaver, Utah, and then became associated with his father in business. After two years thus spent he bought, the interests of the American Trading Company at Newhouse, Utah, and there carried on business for two and a half years. On selling out at Newhouse he returned to Beaver, where he accepted the position of cashier of the State Bank of Beaver and served in that capacity for two and a half years. On the 1st of April. 1917, he was appointed to the position of state bank examiner and removed with his family to Salt Lake City, since which time he has occupied the position, the duties of which he discharges with marked capability and fidelity.
On the 6th of November, 1913. Mr. Tolton was married to Miss Merle Gardner, of St. George, Utah, a daughter of William Gardner, who settled at St. George in pioneer times. Mr. and Mrs. Tolton have two children: John Franklin, who was born at Beaver, October 23, 1914; and Margaret, whose birth occurred in Beaver in 1916. Mr.y Tolton has always given his political allegiance to the democratic party. He is a member of the State Bankers Association, also of the Salt Lake City Commercial Club and he is interested in all those forces and activities which feature as factors in the up building of the state and in the advancement of its welfare.
ALFRED E. TOURSSEN.
Prominent in automobile circles throughout the state and rated in the first rank among dealers in motor cars and trucks is Alfred E. Tourssen, of Salt Lake City. He was born in Chicago, Illinois, June 14, 1879, a son of John and Ellen ( Johnson) Tourssen, who were natives of Norway and came to America in early life. They located in Chicago, where the father established himself in the retail shoe business, there continuing to make his home until his death. The mother also passed away in that city. In their family were eight children, one of whom died in infancy. Those who reached adult age were: Arthur, who passed away in Chicago in 1918; John, living in Washington, D. C; Celia, the wife of A. B. Wilson, of Chicago; Hannah, the wife of Oscar Lilja, also of Chicago; Elizabeth, living in the same city; Anna, who is also married; and Alfred E., of this review.
In his boyhood days Alfred E. Tourssen attended the graded and high schools of Chicago and when his textbooks were put aside he became an employee in connection with the Chicago Herald, rising from a minor position to a place on the editorial staff. He continued a valued member of the "Herald family" for seven years and then decided to branch out in other lines of business. Accordingly he resigned his position and became an employee of the Western Electric Manufacturing Company in its mammoth branch in Chicago. He remained with that corporation for four and a half years, during which period he thoroughly learned electrical engineering. It was in that connection that he came to Salt Lake City in 1907 and for two years thereafter he was an employe of the Capital Electric Company. In 1909 he resigned that position and became manager of the Randall-Dodd Auto Company of Salt Lake City, where he built up an extensive business in the eight years in which he managed the company's affairs. He then resigned to engage in business on his own account and organized the firm of A. E. Tourssen & Company for the sale of Oldsmobile cars and trucks and the maintenance of a service station. His district includes Utah, Idaho. Nevada and Wyoming and his average sales of this very high grade car amount to one thousand cars per annum. Since the Oldsmobile plant has put out a truck his business in that direction has increased far beyond his expectations. He adopted as his slogan the sale of a truck per day, but the business has considerably exceeded that amount. He is ranked as one of the foremost automobile dealers of the west and in this connection is widely known.
On the 6th of September. 1911. Mr. Tourssen was married in Salt Lake City to Miss Wilhelmina Norman, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Norman, residents of Lexington, Michigan. They have two children: Norman Alfred, who was born July 5, 1913; and Ellen Wilhelmina, born in Salt Lake City in 1917.
Mr. Tourssen belongs to the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks and also to the Masonic fraternity, in which he has attained the thirty-second degree of the Scottish Rite, while with the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine he has crossed the sands of the desert. He has membership with the Utah Automobile Dealers' Association and with the Utah Automobile Association. He belongs to the Salt Lake Commercial Club and his religious faith is indicated by his membership in the Congregational church. He is a most progressive and energetic business man who has always improved the opportunities opening up in the natural ramifications of trade and who from the outset of his business career has made wise use of his time and talents. He early realized that "there is no excellence without labor" and he applied himself most closely to the mastery of every task assigned him, and his career again demonstrates the fact that "power grows through the exercise of effort." Gradually therefore he has advanced and today his position in the commercial circles of Salt Lake City is a most enviable one.
ALBERTO OWEN TREGANZA.
Albert Owen Treganza, a Salt Lake City architect of wide renown and member of the firm of Ware & Treganza, was born in Denver, Colorado, March 24, 1876, a son of Edward and Josephine (Owen) Treganza.

He took up the work when but fourteen years of age, carrying the mail over perilous trails across the plains, which were infested with hostile Indians and not infrequently with still more savage white men. As he grew older he decided to engage in a more peaceful occupation and established what became known far and wide as the Art Emporium of Denver, devoted to the sale of works of arts and crafts. For many years he thus successfully engaged in business in that city but eventually sold his interests and is now living a retired life, making his home at Lemon Grove, California.
