J. Clarke, Publisher JOSEPH NEWBOLD. One of the well appointed mercantile establishments of Logan is that owned by Joseph Newbold, dealing in clothing, shoes, hats and men's furnishings on North Main street. He has a fine store and a good business and is justly classed with the alert and enterprising merchants of his city. Mr. Newbold was born in Derbyshire, England, April 12, 1858. His father was also a native of England and a farmer by occupation. He came to Utah in 1875, two years after the arrival of his son Joseph, and continued a resident of this state until his death in 1888. Joseph Newbold was educated in the schools of England, which he attended to the age of fourteen years, when he bade adieu to friends and native country and sailed for America. He made his way to Utah, taking up his abode at Farmington, and for a number of years he was employed at farm labor. While thus engaged he carefully saved his earnings and eventually was able, as the result of his industry and economy, to purchase a farm. This he at once began to further cultivate and develop and thereon continued in active agricultural pursuits until 1904, when he established his home in Logan and entered the mercantile field. He opened a store on North Main street with a large line of clothing, shoes, hats and men's furnishings and in the intervening period, covering fifteen years, has developed a business of substantial and gratifying proportions, being now accorded a very large trade. He is also one of the directors of the Cache Valley Banking Company and his interest in the business development and general welfare of his city is indicated by his membership in the Commercial Boosters Club of Logan. Mr. Newbold was married in Logan in 1885 to Miss Hannah Christensen, of this city, and they have three children. Joseph, thirty-two years of age, married Jennie Cole, of Logan. Bertie, thirty years of age, is the wife of O. A. Sonne, of Logan, and they have four children, Roscoe, Dean, Florence and Irma. Metta, twenty-eight years of age, is the wife of Harold Cederlund, of Logan. Mr. Newbold is deeply interested in the work of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and twice served on a mission. In 1890 he went to England for missionary work and in 1906 started out upon a mission in this country. He was called from his second missionary labors to become bishop of the fourth ward of Logan. He is a most earnest worker in promoting the interests of the church and the community, is a man of magnetic personality and marked capability and has a host of warm friends.
