OSCAR MALMROSE.

    Oscar Malmrose is the senior partner in the firm of Malmrose & Sheffield,
proprietors of the City Grocery at No. 11 North Main street in Logan. He was
born in Brigham, Utah, August 21, 1883, a son of B. E. and Augusta (Olsen)
Malmrose. who were natives of Sweden. They came to America in 1877, making their
way direct to Brigham, where Mr. Malmrose spent his remaining days, his death
occurring May 4, 1905, when he had reached the age of seventy-five years. He was
a mason by trade and devoted his entire life to work along that line. He was
also an earnest supporter of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,
counting no activity on his part too great if it would further the cause in
which he so firmly believed. Prior to coming to the new world he did missionary
work in his native land following his conversion to the church. His wife came to
America on the same vessel with him and they were married in the year of their
arrival. Mrs. Malmrose still survives her husband and resides at Brigham.

    Oscar Malmrose was the fourth in order of birth in their family of ten
children, four sons and six daughters. He is indebted to the public school
system of Brigham for the early educational advantages which he enjoyed and when
he had reached the age of fifteen he started out to earn his own livelihood,
being first employed at the meat cutting trade, which business he followed as a
journeyman meat cutter until 1908. On the 4th of July of that year he formed a
partnership with Robert Sheffield and purchased the City Grocery, which had been
established in 1904. From a small business they have developed their interests
until they have the leading grocery in Logan. They employ three salespeople and
their volume of trade is very large and gratifying. Their success is due to the
integrity of their methods, their reasonable prices and their earnest efforts to
please their customers.

    On the 6th of June, 1912, in Malad, Idaho, Mr. Malmrose was married to Miss
Gladys Spierman, a native of Logan and a daughter of C. W. and Mary (Boudrero)
Spierman, who had long been residents of Logan, settling there about the time
the town was founded. Mr. and Mrs. Malmrose have become parents of three
children: Dorothy, Oscar Earl, and Helen. The family residence is at No. 230
North First West and the home is owned by Mr. Malmrose. In politics he has ever
maintained an independent course. He belongs to the Logan Commercial Club and to
the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. His time and energies are
almost wholly given to his business affairs and it has been this close
application and persistency of purpose that has enabled him to make steady
advancement since he became one of the proprietors of the City Grocery. He has
always continued in the line of activity in which he embarked as a young
tradesman.
