JAMES W. QUAYLE.

    One of the attractive mercantile establishments of Utah is that owned and
conducted by James W. Quayle. Utah claims him as a native son, his birth having
occurred at Farmington, in Davis county, June 5, 1856. His father, the late
James Quayle, was a native of the Isle of Man and came to America in 1853,
making his way' direct to Utah. He settled at Salt Lake and afterward took up
his abode in Davis county. In 1860 he established his permanent home in Logan
and there engaged in farming and stock raising, which business he followed
continuously and successfully to the time of his death, passing away in 1913 at
the advanced age of eighty-two years. His was an active, useful and honorable
life, gaining for him the warm regard of all with whom he was associated. He was
an earnest and helpful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
and in 1871 and 1872 served on a mission in the eastern states. His political
endorsement was given to the republican party and he was mayor of Logan for
several terms, putting forth most earnest and effective effort for the
upbuilding of the city, the advancement of its welfare and the upholding of its
high civic standards. He married Elizabeth Gillions, a native of England, who
came to America in 1854 and at once crossed the continent to Utah. It was in
Salt Lake City that she gave her hand in marriage to James Quayle and they had a
family of four children, of whom three are living, namely: James W., of this
review; John, a resident of Logan; and Philip, who is now making his home at
Willard, Utah. The mother passed away in 1863, when thirty years of age.

    James W. Quayle pursued his education in the public schools of Logan and
during the greater part of his early life was upon the home farm. In fact he has
always been closely connected with agricultural interests and is still following
farming. During his father's life he was continuously associated with him in the
work of developing the fields and in 1885 he further extended the scope of his
activities by establishing his present business.

    Mr. Quayle has been married twice. In 1899, in Logan Temple, he wedded Miss
Adelia Bird, now deceased, who was a native of Utah and a representative of one
of the old pioneer families of the state. Mrs. Quayle died in 1900 and in 1903
Mr. Quayle was again married, his second union being celebrated in Salt Lake
Temple when Miss Nellie M. Ruud, a native of Norway, became his wife. They have
two children, James W. and Adelia. Their religious faith is that of the Mormon
church and Mr. Quayle served on a mission to the southern states in 1885 and
1886, while in 1887 he was sent on a mission to England. He still remains an
active factor in this work. He is also a member of the Logan Boosters Club. His
political endorsement is given to the republican party and in 1909 he served as
a member of the city council.
