HEZEKIAH SUMNER HATCH.

    Hezekiah Sumner Hatch, who passed away on the 15th of April, 1919, was well
known as a representative of the real estate and insurance business in Logan,
where he was born February 8, 1886. He was a son of Hezekiah Eastman Hatch,
mentioned at length on another page of this work. He supplemented his public
school education, acquired in Logan, by study in the Brigham Young College and
in the Utah Agricultural College, and thus well equipped for life's practical
and responsible duties, entered into a field of activity in which he made steady
progress. However, in 1904 he was sent upon a mission to England, spending two
years in that country in proclaiming the teachings of the Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter-day Saints. Through his business life in Logan he was identified with
real estate and insurance and for four years was associated with Junius Wild. He
then started in business independently and soon controlled important real estate
Interests, negotiating many important property transfers. He also had a well
established insurance department, representing the New York Life Insurance
Company and the Home Insurance Company of New York. His clientage in both
branches of his business was extensive. In addition to this business he was a
director of the Thatcher Clothing Company, a director of the Cache Knitting
Works, a director of the Thatcher Milling & Elevator Company and of the Farmers'
Utah Loan Association. He was thus connected with important corporate interests
and in the management of his affairs displayed sound judgment and unfaltering
enterprise, making his cooperation a valuable factor in the successful conduct
of the different concerns with which he was associated.

    On the 30th of June, 1908, Mr. Hatch was married to Miss Olive Baker, of
Mendon, Utah, a daughter of George W. Baker, one of the pioneers of that place.
They had four children: Alice, Marjorie and Frances, aged respectively eight,
five and three years; and Hezekiah Sumner, who is a year old.

    In his political views Mr. Hatch was a democrat with independent tendencies.
While he usually supported the men and measures of the party, he did not
consider himself bound by party ties and his chief consideration was the welfare
of community and commonwealth. He belonged to the Commercial Boosters' Club of
Logan and put forth every possible effort for the upbuilding of the city, the
extension of its trade relations and the development of its civic pride. He was
a worthy representative of an honored family-a thoroughgoing business man who
carefully upheld the traditions and principles that have ever guided those of
the name of Hatch.
