HON. SAMUEL W. ORME, member of the state senate from Fremont county, his home
being on a ranch near Wilford, is a native of Utah. He was born at Tooele City,
Tooele county, Utah, September 19, 1858, a son of Samuel W. and Sarah (Cross)
Orme, both of whom have passed away. The father was born in Ohio, July 4, 1832,
but when he was a mere child his parents returned with their family to England,
from which country they had come to the United States. There the grandfather
died but in 1856 Samuel W. Orme, Sr., accompanied by his mother, again came to
the new world and made his way to Tooele, Utah, where his mother spent her
remaining days. Samuel W. Orme, Sr. was a farmer by occupation and continued a
resident of Tooele county, Utah, to the time of his death, which occurred when
he had reached the age of fifty-seven years.

   His son and namesake, Samuel W. Orme of this review, was reared upon his
father's ranch and pursued his education in the public schools nearby. He, too,
took up the occupation of farming and stock raising and has followed that
pursuit throughout his entire life. He remianed a resident of Utah until 1897
and since then has made his home in Fremont county, Idaho. Here he purchased a
good ranch near Wilford and is today the owner of a valuable farm property of
one hundred and sixty acres, devoted chiefly to the cultivation of wheat and the
raising of sheep. He also carries on dry farming on adjacent land which he
leases. His business affairs have always been carefully and successfully managed
and he is regarded as one of the representative agriculturists of the community.

   In February, 1885, Mr. Orme was married in Salt Lake City to Miss Mary A.
Smith, a native of Utah, and they have become the parents of nine living
children, five sons and four daughters, namely: Samuel J., Mary A., Milo S.,
Joseph R., Sarah C, Edwin D., Luetta, Elva and Reed. Of these Samuel, Mary, Milo
and Sarah are all married and there are now eight grandchildren.

   Mr. Orme has always been fond of horseback riding and although now past sixty
years of age can take a ride of sixty miles without any ill effects. He has
adhered to the religious faith in which he was reared, that of the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and served for fourteen years as bishop of
Wilford ward. In politics he is a republican and has served for one term as
county commissioner. He was also a school trustee and a member of the local
canal board. On the 5th of November, 1918, he was elected state senator from his
county and is serving as chairman of the committee on county boundaries and
lines. He is also a member of the Live Stock Commission of Idaho and is
interested in many plans and projects which have to do with the welfare and
progress of the state.
