JUDGE CHARLES T. BARRETT.

    Judge Charles T. Barrett unostentatiously but capably is leaving the impress
of his individuality and ability upon the judicial records of Utah. He served as
police court judge of Logan by appointment of Mayor Thatcher from 1917 until
June 1, 1919, when the office was discontinued by legislative act. At the
present time he is serving as judge of the juvenile court of Cache county,
through appointment of Governor Bamberger in 1918, and he is likewise chief
building inspector for the city of Logan.

    Mr. Barrett was born at Logan, July 5, 1862, a son of Charles and Esther
(Reed)-Barrett. His father was born in England and came to Salt Lake City, Utah,
in the fall of 1859, crossing the Atlantic in a sailing vessel. He settled in
Logan In the spring of 1860. He was married to Esther Reed in the summer of 1861
at Salt Lake City and devoted his life to the occupation of farming, remaining a
resident of Cache county to the time of his demise. He was active in the work of
the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, served on a mission and did
everything in his power to further the cause. His death occurred in 1909, while
Mrs. Barrett survived until 1916.

    After attending the public schools of Logan, Judge Barrett continued his
education in the Brigham Young College and is numbered among its alumni of the
class of 1882. He devoted five years of his life to the profession of teaching
in Cache, Davis and Weber counties and afterward became an active factor in
building operations as a carpenter and architect. His judicial duties now claim
his entire time and attention. For two years he served as judge of the police
court through appointment of Mayor Thatcher and in this connection heard only
city cases. The fairness and equity which he displayed in the police court was
undoubtedly a feature that caused his appointment to the position of judge of
the juvenile court of Cache county by Governor Bamberger in 1918. He is a man of
kindly spirit, well balanced and ideally equipped in mind and temperament for
the work of judge of the juvenile court, where the presiding officer makes it a
point to get into close touch with the offenders, win the confidence of the
children and make strong appeal to their better natures, the court serving not
as a place of punishment but as a means of assistance that children may be
rightly guided with a view to making them thoroughly reliable, dependable and
self-respecting citizens. Those who know Judge Barrett have no doubt as to his
capabilities for the important duties that devolve upon him in this connection.
He has turned from his professional career to take up this important work and
his service is proving of great benefit. His real life business has been that of
a builder and architect and he thoroughly trained for his professional duties as
a student of architecture with the firm of Smith, Woods & St. Thomas of Ogden.
He then entered upon the practical work of the profession and the evidences of
his skill and ability in this direction are found in many important structures
which have been erected by him.

    In 1884 Judge Barrett was united in marriage to Miss Sarah Frances Shelton,
a native of North Carolina and a daughter of William B. Shelton. They were
married in Logan and to them have been born seven children. Charles Elmer,
thirty-four years of age and now a well known sanitary engineer of Utah, married
Odessa Henninger, of Ogden, and they have three children. Mabel is at home.
Alonzo T. is one of the professors in the Ogden high school and married Hazel I.
Scott, of New Haven, Connecticut, by whom he has one child. Edward Lewis, an
entomologist with a floral company and also in the employ of the United States
government, living at Farmington, Utah, married Jeanette Osland and they have
one child. Lulu and Eva are teachers in the schools of Logan, while Milton is
still attending school.

    Judge Barrett belongs to the Commercial Boosters' Club. He has been an
active worker in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, served on the
Old Folks Stake Committee for twelve years and as ward clerk of the fourth ward
for four years and of the ninth ward of the Cache stake since its organization
in 1917. His activities have thus touched many of the general interests of
society, constituting an element in the material, intellectual, social and moral
progress of the community. He has studied deeply the vital sociological and
economic problems and keeps' abreast with the best thinking men of the age.
